Now I need external Thunderbolt Drive recs. Or should I go USB 3.0? Help me.

"I thought it sounded fantastic with the LCD-3 but it was slightly bright with my HE-500 + silver dragon cable. "
Try a copper cable on the HE500. Silver = bright.
wrong.

Just did a quick google search and it looks like there could be a known HDMI board issue. Might be worth checking out: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1261548/new-onkyo-tx-nr5008-tx-nr3008/8340

I am 50-50, but will need a room if I go. Should know more soon.

I heard several of the Schiit amps at RMAF though I couldn't tell you their names. I liked them a lot, especially for the price and the Schiit guys struck me as pretty straight shooters.

Sold my PWD to Cee Tee. Good comms and no bs. All good.

I've got my 27" iMac up and running (but still need to move over data, etc.). Really beautiful machine. It's amazing how quickly I've become accustomed to the large screen. Everything else looks tiny in comparison. I'm very happy with it.

Just fyi, gang, there's a new subforum (under "Gear") dedicated to Home Theater stuff here.

Thanks Larry, very helpful info.

Oh, and Smyth Realiser is definitely on the radar, but not right now...

So I just got my home theater setup and I 'm still trying to figure out how the fuck to use it. One thing I'd like to do is be able to use wireless bluetooth headphones for when the Little Monkey is sleeping. But, to my knowledge, my AVR does not have a BT transmitter built in.
What's the best way for me to accomplish this goal?

Is this still working?

Happy birthday, Mike!

Happy to hear that, forbigger.
It only takes a day or two to do the upgrade. Most of the time will be spent shipping the unit back and forth.(BTW - anyone know why I don't get notifications even though I'm following this topic? I had the email me setting checked in my notification options.)
I'll take a look.

The rMBP work just got me replaced a dying 6-year old iMac so I just had a pretty similar upgrade. The speed improvements are really really nice and I think you'll be really happy with the 27". That being said, the new iMac screen is IMO the big upgrade you'll notice over the 6 and 7 year old models we were using. It's night and day difference vs what we had before. Enjoy!
I don't know if you are a fan of touch-pads, Monkey, but if you are the touch gestures in OSX are quite handy. I'd recommend the wireless touchpad for your iMac for the touch gestures alone. The ability to quickly jump from window to window using mission control (or whatever they call it these days) on its own is worth the price of admission.
Word. I almost got the rMBP, but was convinced I would break it.

My dad in his unbelievable generosity, paid for a new 27" iMac because my 7 year old iMac is just not cutting it anymore. Should arrive on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to the big screen.

Done. Good luck!
When choosing Paypal, the "Next" button is hard to see because it's red. It is on the bottom right side of the page.

I am astounded by Apple's syncing that continues to have the problem of duplicating entries in Calendar. Either I'm a moron (quite possible) or Apple still doesn't get it. I think both of those possibilities are true, actually.
Related to the above, Apple also needs to include a checkbox in any new appointment that will allow you the option to override or delete any conflicting appointment. I'd call it "DOMINATE."

My guess is like Grado, they want dealers to rigidly stick to minimum advertised price. This is probably easier to do through a smaller dealer network opposed to Amazon, etc.
Agree. Also probably an easier way to do this legally. Despite recent developments, if they don't offer some sort of premium service to justify their agreements on price, then arguably they're going to have antitrust problems.

oooh...those look nice.

I "need" a pair of active speakers for my new desk and those Emotivas are tempting me.

I currently have 2 old FW HDDs that need to be upgraded in terms of connectivity and capacity. I use one for media and one for backup. I don't think I need a big RAID setup, but I do want SSD. JBOD should be fine for the likes of me, right?
EDIT: just realized SSD is not really feasible in the size I need/want. Duh.
