Well, you know they say, one thing leads to another.... After the very recent Television upgrade I just made in November getting the LG 77" C5 OLED set from Costco, i was questioning the video passthrough capabilities of my "old" 2011 Onkyo TX-NR809 receiver. I had the HDMI video board and...

OK, so here is why I love Costco! Just got an email stating they have negotiated better pricing on the LG set I purchased and sent me a digital credit for $200 I can use in store. Happy about that for sure!

Ah OK, I will holdoff then, all this black friday lasting a day, week, month has me super confused.... lol. The Onkyo def has a sound a prefer. I bought a low model Denon S770H for my game room which only has an xbox and the audio is fine. Tried it up in the main theater room for a few weeks...

Possibly looking to replace my 14yr old Onkyo TXNR809 I purchased from Amazon in 2011. Botch, Is the Yamaha RXV6a still something you would recommend for decent 5.1 audio and 4k video in 2025? I'd probably stick with Onkyo - looking at the TZ-RZ 50 if the Yamaha wasnt $750 right now

Well its been a few weeks and I feel like I've gotten the set adjusted best I can without having a true ISF calibration done. I used the Rtings and a couple other youtube videos to get the general setup done and then some small tweaks to fit my personal tastes after the matter. I find myself...

The first record I ever bought with my own $$ was Kiss's Destroyer, and Double Platinum in 77. Ace influenced an entire generation and encouraged thousands of kids to pick up a guitar. You know you're getting old when you start seeing your heroes dying. I got to see Kiss in 83 (with Vinnie...

Wow, that pricing from Amazon is insane. I wound up getting the set at Costco, with the cashback, additional warranty, and return policy I feel that's a justified move. Got it on the wall today and I'm still playing with the setup, it's decent but I need to spend some quality time dialing it...

Hi Guys, I was just reading Deacon's post about grabbing a 77" LG C4 a few months ago and just saw in my latest Costco mailer they are going to be selling the LG C5 77" for $1999 with a 5yr warranty next week. Current set is a 2018 65" LG OLED. I've been really happy with that set, it has no...

So I happen to see a 100" Hisense QLED at Costco for $1649, which I think is insane that we live in a day and age when that it is possible for the average joe to afford a set like that. PQ was decent in store but I've yet to see one in a real world environment. I personally have zero need for a...

I lurk. I kinda fell off the whole audio/video thing but i like to stop by and see what folks are up to.

Spinoff of the movie The Gentlemen - Netflix Guy Ritchie brings the story to Netflix. Absolutely loved this series and hope it continues. A little far fetched, but what isn't these days? If you enjoyed Snatch, or Lock, Stock, Two Smoking Barrels you'll want to give this a shot...

OK kids, you say you like Slayer? Iron Maiden? Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Slipknot, Devil Driver, Fear Factory, and so on?? Please give these guys a listen. They've been around 20+ years and somehow I just recently discovered them. They're from Spain and have been playing the Euro metal...

Had a friend that picked up the 77" C1 about 6 months ago and he also came from the same 65" C1 set I currently have. He did pay quite a bit more then, $2899 I think, which was a good deal since that set was $3200 at Costco at the time. But he raves about how much better the PQ is. I can't see...

I lurk around mostly. I really haven't bought any new gear in the last 4-5 years, maybe longer, but I still enjoy reading the posts here. I just wrapped up a 7 year project at work that had me pretty occupied and on the road quite a bit, so I may stop around more often. :)

So I'm wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade from my 2018 model 65" C1 LG OLED? I paid $2500 for the 65" set in 2018 and never had an issue with it. PQ is more than acceptable for how it's currently being used. Maybe I'm just itching for something new, bigger, shinier... lol I'm...
