AV Rant #230: Definition of Short

April 28th, 2011 12 comments

Tom promises a short podcast this week cause he’s tired from almost finishing the sequel to his book. Of course, if you follow him on twitter, you know he finished it right after recording this podcast. This week cassette tapes make a return and Tom and Liz can’t wait to get their hands on some. If you have a PSN account (and PSN is up and running by the time this goes live), change your everything. If you don’t like 3D, there is always 2D. Nine Inch Nails may not be your favorite band but when the price and the audio quality is right, who can complain? This week’s soup to nuts? Amplifiers. Once again, notes after the break.

AV Rant #229: Robcast

April 21st, 2011 6 comments

Something tells me I’ve named a podcast this before. Oh well. To all of you that spammed me with the article about cassettes making a comeback, the first thing Liz and I did was kick ourselves afterwards for forgetting to mention it. We’ll do it next week. Tom has a new game he wants to play, but he’s too cheap to buy it. RIP Sidney Harman. Netflix + Facebook = Fail… at least to Tom and Liz. How old is your grandmother and does she have Super Wi-Fi? The results of the #twoll, an overview of budget receivers using the Denon AVR-1912 has a reference, and part 3 of the Home Theater Soup to Nuts series. This time, sources and upconversion.

AV Rant #228: Philosophical Underwear

A longer podcast but fewer topics. The results of the latest Twoll. Nice response gentleman. Props to you all. Liz has an Audyssey feature she just has to have. Cable cutting? What about cable starting? The Musicmask gets way more coverage than it deserves. The second in a sure to be long series of Soup to Nuts home theater setup. This time – picking a receiver. Notes on that below the break. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley! To see our (mostly) complete collection of show videos, click here.

Notice the Woot buttons on the right? Use them to support the podcast. This week Liz has something to say about gaming in general and the Nintendo 3DS specifically. Tom rants on expensive displays. The results of the latest Twoll (that should give you a hint). Game of Thrones – watch it because Tom can’t. Liz wants some headphones even though Tom thinks they are stupid. The Liberty Speakers, you know you want a pair. The first in a sure to be long series of Soup to Nuts home theater setup. Notes on that below the break.

AV Rant #226: Ma-Jigger

In this exciting episode, Liz and Tom discuss Amazon’s new Cloud Drive and Cloud Player service. It is legal? Should it be? What’s the deal? Netflix lets you throttle, Facebook and Warner add movies, and Tom gets really, really stupid spam. Coconut Audio – best troll ever. A new review on the way from Otterbox and Tom. A few listener questions are address/answered. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley! To see our (mostly) complete collection of show videos, click here.
