Solid, dependable HD projector

Tue, 5 Dec 2006 00:17:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - I've owned this projector for 2.5 years (or more now) and it has served me well for HDTV, DVDs, computer presentations, and xBox gaming. There is at least one limitation: DVI connection without HDCP capability (encoding that most DVD players and Cable...

Great utility from a dependable car

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 21:27:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - For various reasons, I wanted to buy a Subaru to test the AWD system and try it on an autocross course for myself. Autocross (Solo2) events are being overrun with Subarus and their great AWD systems. They are more abundant than Miatas and the presence...

Handling? Yes, please!

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 20:56:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - Last year I got into autocross (dodging orange cones), but racing my Acura 3.2CL wasn't cutting it: it weighs too much and handling is really soft. I put some Tein SS adjustable coilovers on it, but the weight of the car was too much to overcome. So I...

The little cube that could

Sat, 3 Apr 2004 16:37:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - I've lived with my p500 now for about 8 months and I couldn't be happier. Not only is it very attractive and small, it also puts out a fair amount of bass down to about 22 Hz. Not bad for an 8" speaker (albeit 2 of them). I've always followed the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - Due to many positive reviews here and elsewhere, I purchased a pair of these last summer and set them up in my side surround positions (in our dedicated home theater room). I toyed with the three settings (direct, dipole, and bipole) using several...

602s3 Really Rocks

Sat, 3 Apr 2004 13:03:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - I purchased 2 of the 602s3 for the main left/right channels in my home theater (in July 03). I auditioned a few other brands (NHT, Paradigm), but I was somehow predisposed to the B&W sound. I found the 602 to have exceptional clarity in the upper...

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 17:48:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - Got a good deal on a new 2004 LE with curtain airbags, Stability control/brake assist/4-wheel discs/ABS, rear audio, and the alloy wheels. Also opted for dealer-installed leather. Let's start by saying that I had already decided on the 2004 Odyssey,...

TaxCut comes through again

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 23:00:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - For 3 of the last 4 years I have used for our tax return. The fourth year we used H&R Block because of a very complicated return that year. In retrospect I should have used it that time too because they basically use their own TaxCut software when you...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - My wife started our breastfeeding our newborn son but needed some supplementation once the doctors freaked out when his weight gain was lower than their charts indicated it should be. She is still nursing at every feeding, but adds to the overall volume...

Great car for the wife

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - We bought our gorgeous blue CR-V three years ago and my wife loves it. We've had zero problems with it - it is the most reliable car on the road according to Consumer's Report.

As soon as the pictures came out for the CR-V, especially in the...

SuperOnes rock steady

Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:55:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - We've lived with these speakers as our main HT speakers for about 5 years. Mated to our Denon AVR-3200 receiver, the marriage has been delightful for all but the most demanding material.

I got these as part of a package deal, so the overall...

HT with the AVR-3200

Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:31:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - We've lived with this receiver for about 5 years and have to say that it stands up well overall. The power, even at "only" 85 watts, is more than adequate even in our 2000 cubic foot HT room. It can run a little hot while being pushed to pump enough...

Acura rocks

Fri, 1 Mar 2002 22:26:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scoob-5 - I've had this car for one year (18k miles) and I love it. When I looked, I was really only interested in getting a used BMW 528 and almost bought one. But I had counseled by dad on his purchase a few months earlier and convinced him to look at a TL...
