Happy Birthday Guys!!!

Not an energy drink, but I can't get enough of that Aloe stuff.

That soon might be a little dodgy... I get my new apartment on the 13th of May, though the actual move date will likely be the 19th. Then I'm off to CanJam May 2nd - 5th.

JB - That was hilarious! Give me time, I get moved into the new place on April 19th.

Yeah, I basically just got a pair because everyone else here had one. I've actually never been to PEI, so that might be fun. Let me know if you cook something up.

Agreed. I can't wait to compare our pairs Jamie. Will be interesting to see if we hear a difference.

If I ever make the motions of getting back into programming, please shoot me.

I'm with aerius, though I think the SA5000 is much worse than the DT880.

Shit, I didn't even know that the Touch could do wireless internet... cool!

Well, I don't have sound on the computer currently as Renato has been holding my transit hostage, but I think I got the gist.

Well, the obvious solution is just to give them to me. I've yet to receive any 'happy divorce' presents...

Regarding the urban lifestyle, I was a little leery about moving to Toronto. That said, the area this place is in is perfect and though I may find it a little busy, I think it will be great to be so close to work and the nightlife of the city. Yeah, the Lumagen looks cool if I can afford it. There are some DVD players that have inputs that get upsampled, I remember reading a thread on this. No idea what the makes and models are though...

Glad they arrived fine, sorry to hear about the tension issue.

Ok, cool, I'll try and get the 981 in that case since I want to use my behringer as the dac for my home theatre... will be cool to play around with the room correction features.

Is the 981HD better than the 980HD in any way that matters or are they about the same?

That sucks. Why is it so expensive? There must be some reason... Thanks, I'll look into the Samsung and Sony LCDs. I do a bit of gaming [Wii], and I do have a bunch of standard definition and non widescreen movies/stations/etc that I'll be watching. What is SD DVD? Glad to hear someone won the war, I was more interested in the PS3 anyways, cool. I'll also take a look at the Samsung BD-P1200 Blu ray player. Thanks guys.

It's not mine yet, but here are some pictures. It is an amazing building... the meeting/party room is a full nicely furnished living room and large dining room and has a complete kitchen if you want to entertain. The pool table is actually pretty nice in the game room and the gym has very nice equipment. The 16 person private movie theater kicks ass, and has satellite tv with almost all the stations. There is a rooftop garden/park thing where you can have a BBQ. The pictures really dont do it justice, and I'm going to have it professionally painted before I move in. The stainless steel appliances [incl dishwasher] are nice. The fridge has a built in brita, and the stove is one of those new flat electric types. http://www.viewit.ca/vwExpandView.aspx?ViT=49906 Oh, and the lobby is incredible, all stone/wood/mirror, with a nice statue and a grand staircase. 24 hour concierge. Can't beat the location at Richmond & Spadina either... should be able to walk to work in the warmer/dryer months. With my new job and this place I'm gonna be a yuppie in no time flat. Thankfully, there is a Starbucks in the building as well as a drycleaners, salon and florist. Edit: The view is also much better than that picture shows. Especially at night.

Ok, so I think I've found my new apartment [will know for sure on tuesday], and I've been thinking over what I want to do with regards to my home theatre. Here is what I am considering: 1. Get a LCD or Plasma or whatever [flat screen, at least 40" WS and wall mountable] that has wicked upsampling and lots of inputs. Make sure that my DVD player either has no upsampling or that it is defeatable. 2. Get a LCD or Plasma or whatever [flat screen, at least 40" WS and wall mountable] that has no upsampling or defeatable upsampling and only requires one DVI input. Make sure that my DVD player either has no upsampling or that it is defeatable. Purchase one of these: http://www.lumagen.com/testindex.php?module=hdp_details 3. Get a LCD or Plasma or whatever [flat screen, at least 40" WS and wall mountable] that has no upsampling or defeatable upsampling and only requires one HDMI or DVI input. Get a DVD player that has lots of inputs and good upsampling. [no ideas here, but I'm sure they exist] Some things to note: I'm not interested in HD DVD or Blu Ray at the moment. I just want to get the most out of my current material. I will be getting a Hi Def digital cable package for the place. I will continue to use my Polk Audio RTi4's and Charlize amp for sound, though I may explore surround sound at a later date. What do I want to know? Basically, I'm just looking for suggestions on components to make this happen. I would like something that is very good quality, but I'm not really a videophile. I'm on the cheap side, but this will likely get installed after I sell my condo... so I might have more leeway in the price than I usually do. I'm also not sure how I should control switching all the analog audio signals. I could add them to the charlize with a switch if there is space I guess. Also considering using my Behringer in the home theatre rig, which would allow me to switch two digital signals. Those OPPO players interest me, but I'm not sure which is the one to get. I've considered getting a PS3 and 360 sometime down the line to get me into the hi def formats... or has one of them already lost the war? EDIT: Oh, and I got one of those sweet Harmony remotes through a deal at Dell.

My skin is pretty stretchy, but that is on another level entirely.

I've been seriously thinking about getting one of those things once the dust settles.

Happy Birthday Nate!

Is this question for me? If so, there is a link in my signature.

No, I've yet to hear Alex's cables... I am looking forward to it.
