AV Rant #175: AV Rant Goes Down

April 8th, 2010 6 comments

Tom has a lot to talk about this week including the burning question – what’s up with last week’s podcast? There’s a bit at the end that you’re not gonna want to miss. On the plate this week – the new Emotiva subs, two divisions of D&M Holdings go away, Comcast gets one in the win category, and Redbox considers streaming. More on Blockbuster and their baffling decisions. Looking forward to Verizon Fios? Don’t. Leif gets some answers. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.

AV Rant #174: The Last AV Rant Episode

April 1st, 2010 4 comments

You ever have one of those days that nothing goes right? Dina and I have been doing this podcast for nearly 3 years. We’ve had a really good run and I feel honored to have had her as a podcasting partner. But all good things must come to an end and AV Rant is no different. As you might expect, it’s all my fault. I was pushing the humor and I often do at the end of the podcast and went a step too far. Dina, if you decide to read this, I apologize and hope that you’ll consider continuing the podcast. For the rest of our loyal listeners, I’ll do my best to resurrect this podcast and since I have had so many great co-hosts, I feel confident that it will happen soon. Stay tuned for more news.

AVR #173: The End of the World as We Know It

March 25th, 2010 3 comments

After the technical problems of last week we are back and on time. Tom has a revelation that shakes the foundation of Dina’s world (I’d say “rock her world” but that would just be weird). Leon has an offer for Tom that he plans on taking. Mike gets his question answered again. Tom agrees with Rob (finally). Got a question for the Head Monster. Universal makes a stunning decision.

AV Professional Rap – Just a bit cooler than it sounds

March 24th, 2010 1 comment

Think your local AV installer can’t be cool? Well, you’re probably right. And in case you were wondering, they can’t rap either.

Now that’s just funny, I don’t care who you are. Great job HiPhi!

AV Rant #172: AV Rantier

March 22nd, 2010 5 comments

Tom can’t catch a break this week. For the first time in just about forever, the podcast was late. The first podcast was rejected because of bad audio quality (the audio quality on the videos generally aren’t that good so he went ahead and uploaded the video below). So he re-recorded with Clint. They talk about Redbox going Blu, Blockbuster in general, Major Loser getting sued, and how all of this is Rory’s fault. Are you in the market for a couch potato? Tom gives his first impressions. Ian wants to know about bridging vs. bi-amping. For Dina’s take on how Mike should show his wife why high end audio is cool, you’ll need to watch the video.
