I decided I should have it because it is the first letterboxed/widescreen Laser Disc released, Maybe in the USA. Yes, in the USA. I do remember someone in a shop showing a widescreen version of one of the Rambo movies to me, from Japan and with Japanese subtitles in the black-bar area below the movie. |

Well regarding the whole letterboxing on Laserdisc and such, here's a snippet from the "Museum" of the now defunct website Laserdisc Planet pulled from the Internet Archive . . . Attachment: laserdiscplanet.jpg [ 186.41 KiB | Viewed 2033 times ] Apparently the CED of Amacord was the first fully letterboxed home video release if this is to be believed! You would think LD would have that honor. |

Got an O.M. in near-new condition, that actually doesn't Reek of Ciggy-Smoke (Previous Owner) and S.M. for the VSX-49TX/i, the nearly-identical TotL step up from my 2001 VSX-47TX AVR; _RESIZE_30.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) You can also see the O.M. for the 1999 VSX-27/26/24TX series up there... as i personally prefer that AVR series' CU-VSX159 remote for use with the VSX-47TX; _RESIZE_30.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) _RESIZE_30.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) _RESIZE_30.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) Also... i have these 2001/2004 Catalogs that i had requested direct from PIONEER - featuring the VSX-47/49/59TXi AVR family - - back when they were current... and i was still in my very-early-adulthood; _RESIZE_30.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)

Got my ultimate Lost in translation kit. The hibiki whiskey has been on the shelf for year and a half already and now got the correct glass that was used in the movie by Bill Murray when filming the commercial. Baccarat Massena Tumbler

I have long-been somewhat skeptical, yet curious, in regards to the oft-lofty Speaker Cable-related claims to be found out there. Well, Boy-oh-BOY did these Japanese custom-make CABLECRAFT 8ft. 12ga. affairs make an instant True Believer out of me!!! Made with MOGAMI 3103 12ga. bulk Speaker Cable, and terminated with ONKODO Banana Plugs... i could not hardly even believe the ways in which these made my system open right the hell up. Authority, Soundstage Dimension, and layers of VERY clearly-defined Detail, unlike anything i had yet heard within my 20 years of interest in Hi-Fi. This was most assuredly the sorely-missing link that has well and truly completed my system... _RESIZE_40.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)  _RESIZE_40.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) _RESIZE_40.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) _RESIZE_40.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)

Why are the cables sticking half way out of the amp and why are they bending the jacks on the amp itself. |

Well spotted rein-o! I’m reckoning that tasuke should find some way to support those heavyweight cables as the strain on the speaker sockets will surely prove too much very soon! Trust me - I speak from a past similar experience

Either way, something is breaking right now. I’d make changes. |

I don't usually post my toy purchases here, because 1) I buy a lot, and 2) I don't want to end up like tasuke, but in a case like this one, I'm making an exception.
