tomtastic, what's your system chain like?


System chain? Not sure on meaning, but here's pretty much everything setup:

Inhale....

Primary Room:
Pioneer Elite VSX-53
Pioneer Elite DVL-90
Denon AVD-2000
HD PVR 1212
Mac Mini 2.3 4gb memory mid 2011 HDMI w' portable Blu-ray drive
running Plex Media Server
PS3
Directv
LG 65" 3D LCD

Speakers
Front: Klipch RP-5's has internal powered 12"s 8" mid and horn
Center: Klipsch RC-35 dual 6.5's and horn
Side: cheap 4" JBL's on stands
Rear: RP-3's has internal powered 10's 6.5 mid and horn
Rear Sub: Klipsch KSW 15" internal powered

exhale...inhale....

Room 2
Sony Receiver, it's 10 years old but still kickin' not great but works
52" Sharp LCD
Mac Mini late 2009 running Plex
PS3
Xbox 360
Directv

Speakers
Front: Trap 15's bought on eBay for cheap, they're like club speakers, metal handles. Temporary till I get more RP-5's
Center: something cheap from thrift store, sound comes out of it.
Rear: same as above, I got center and two surrounds for about $15, and they fill this room okay.
no sub yet, so 5.0 system.

Main server rack:
Xserve hosts everything with 2TB storage
additional 6TB storage via eSata card more storage on the way. Two 4 bay enclosures so 4x3TB+12x2=24TB total, ahh can't wait to get all the drives...
24port Gigabit hub, I have both rooms and all desktops hard wired, laptops and portable devices are wireless.
Backup Power Supply, good for 45 mins.

Also have a Mitsubishi HC 1600 projector, it's 720p and a portable tripod screen, about 110". Don't use it much. Don't have a dedicated room for it. Also made a custom 15' screen with two queen-size sheets for outside. It's cooling down, so should be ready for a movie out on the deck. I use my Macbook Pro to play movies out there running Plex.

For LD transfers, I have LD PCM, AC3, DTS (actually I need to unplug the DTS now and run right to receiver since it isn't compatible with HD PVR) to Denon AVD-2000, Optical out to HD PVR, I also have Directv Optical to Denon AVD sharing same output to HD PVR, switchable on front panel of Denon. That way, no unplugging when recording something else. USB out to Mac mini from HD PVR. Then it's looped out from HD PVR to receiver for pass thru. Watch while recording, or not. LD/Directv share same input on receiver, have to switch sound on Denon to pass thru optical between the two. Works good like this, so I might leave it. No unplugging and I think these two will be what I use HD PVR for anyway. I also have HDMI hooked up on Directv to receiver so I can bypass the components to HD PVR altogether and the same with LD, I have Svideo ran to HD PVR and composite going to receiver, so can bypass HD PVR too.

Always looking for more Klipsch speakers, especially RP-5's, RP-3's, KSP-400's, KSP-300's. Built in powered subs are awesome, great mid range and 6" horn's for crystal clear highs. Like to get Klipsch THX Sub, $1500 retail each though. Or RSW 15. Pretty rare and never see on eBay. KSW 15's are hard to find now too.

Not sure if that's what you meant but I don't think I've ever put down what I'm running anywhere so there it is. I'd love to hear what laserbite34 has going on at his flop across the pond! I see all that old tech in his pics and I can just smell the electronic burn of cinema euphoria! :D

The ones I mentioned previously have new catalog number as opposed to re-using the old catalog numbers and they also have Dolby AC-3 digital audio sound in place of the analog audio on channel 2.

I can confirm that is the case for the following which was released in 1998 as I have a few copies of that disc - one sealed and one opened:
Pointer Sisters: Live in Africa (1974) [PA-98-588]
It mentions on the back the 5.1 Dolby Digital was created from the original mix at POP Sound by Ted Hall.

So it seems for titles where the audio was enhanced to AC-3 there were very few titles issued but any that were had new catalog numbers.

Cool. There can't be that many 5.1 audio titles out there on LD, it isn't even standard on DVD/BD. I know of Fleetwood Mac The Dance is AC3, the DVD is too though. DTS issue was canceled. I don't see a specific search for 5.1 music titles so hard to say how many.

EDIT: Just went thru, copy/pasted. I think this is all AC3 music titles: (very limited selection)

Hard to put a value on something like a blank RLV. The reason I say "maybe if it had something recorded on it." Not trying to be a smart a** or anything. But some of these RLV's did get recorded and it might be interesting to find one that has something on it. That would be fairly rare and depending on what is on the disc, valuable to a collector vs. a blank disc that you can't do anything with. And that would also increase its rarity because it's a limited recording, albeit only 30 mins.

There was a special Hondo 3D recording on RLV and I missed the bidding on it. I would pay more for that but it was also anaglyph 3D and only 30 mins. So I would not have gone overboard on it either.

300 for a blank. The problem is, who is the intended collector? Ideally, the end-user would be someone who can record something onto it if they had the equipment, then it could be worth 300.00, maybe more, who knows. But that's a dead end. So then it becomes an oddity that might appeal to some but it's also unknown how many blank RLV discs are out there too. I have 5, you have 20, might be 100's out there for all we know, so that dilutes any mark up. How many would pay 300/disc for it to sit on shelf?

They're cool. 300 cool? No. But it really only takes one buyer willing to pay it.
