AVRant #150: HT Guys on AV Rant

This week we have the honor of having the HT guys, Ara and Braden, on AV Rant. Tom talks with the guys about them, their gear, and their show. If you’re not already listening, you should. You know what is cool about Internet Direct gear? It doesn’t get stolen. Thoughts on DLP, a HT Guys [...]

AV Rant #149: Nerdcore Tom

Dina’s back, and then back again. You’ll get it once you hear the podcast. Leif’s second question is answered. $1000 system is recommended (sort of). As a follow up, not including the display, you should spend 50% on speakers, 25% on receiver, and 25% on everything else. At least that’s what Tom thinks. Will commercials [...]

AVRant #148: Beating on Beats

Dina’s having a girls only week so apparently that doesn’t include AV. Yes, the logic escapes us too. Mark is this weeks guest host and he has a lot to say about Def Tech (let the hate mail begin). Leif has a question about diffusion which leads into a question from Rob about affordable absorption. [...]

AVRant #145: Alien Tom

A report from CEDIA via patient Zero. Everyone thank Clint. Sony has a new Blu-ray player that actually has Tom’s interest. Has he turned to the dark side? They also seem to be doing 3-D and 120Hz processing correctly. A cool new remote from NGHP that will have you wishing you knew a foreign language. [...]

AV Rrant 144: DPP

ooVoo is definitely working now (though Dina spends a goodly amount of time pixelated). Can AV Rant be turned into a drinking game? Tom thinks so. Tom loves his 80″ projection screen - even more now that he spent the weekend on a 32″ CRT. Evan has a question, Tom has sort of an answer. [...]

AVRant #143: Copper Improvement

ooVoo take two. Last time I seemed to be a success. If it works again, we’ll call it not-a-fluke. Does anyone make their own Blu-ray players any more or do they just upgrade the feet? 3D Blu-ray coming… soon? Gamers like to hold discs - Tom is amazed. Apple is going to make their own [...]

AVRant #141: Custom Love

Dina’s back and is around for a long while. All you wanna-be guest co-hosts, we’ve got plans for you too. Tom STILL hates Microsoft. He’s not all that fond of California either. Custom installers and the games they play. Tom needs to clean up his wires (not as much as these guys). PS3 is cheaper [...]
