Loyal AV Rant listeners/readers will know that I got one of the BenQ Joybee GP1 projectors a while back in for review. It’s a small, portable projector designed for images up to 80″. Sure 80″ is the max but I’m not exactly about taking it easy on a projector am I? Read more…
There is no video this week because ooVoo hates us. I can’t believe we’re paying for this service. We’ll try one more week and if we can’t figure it out, it’s gone. Tom and Dina both went to the movies (not together). He saw Star Trek and Dina saw Up in 3D. Both report. Why does Speed Racer suck on Blu-ray? No, it isn’t the subject matter. New firmware out for Yamaha receivers. A cool new deal. Dina talks about the guest co-host auditions – look for an announcement soon. Tom reviews a pair of $6000 bookshelves. What does he think? Get the preview. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to composite triple beatvote for us at Podcast Alley.

Clint’s in for Dina this week. We’ve got another unbelievable deal this week, check it out. A few listener questions including one about audition music, one about line level inputs on a sub, and a third about the new SVS EQ. Update on the contest. An evaluation of the PS3 by Tom (where he says oh so nice things… yeah, that’s the ticket). Clint’s reviewing the new Oppo Blu-ray player and gives you a preview. What’s the deal with GameStop’s return policy and how can you use it to your advantage? NAD confuses Tom and Clint (that just sounds wrong). E-Play – the GameStop/Amazon killer? Tom calibrated his ears. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.
