Chad, that was an awesome line. Way to work in a little dig at Obama. Loved it!

Hey Chad,

What's your gamertag so I can add you to my friends list on the xbox/

Hey Chad,

I used to have the Harmony 1000 and I took it back. It was a pain in the ass to use. It's ironic the Harmony 1 blows away the Harmony 1000 and it's half the price.

Yeah I know my brother has one. I rent a house though so at this point it doesn't make sense.

My 65" ISF calibrated Mitsubishi puts out an amazing picture though(personally besides a projector I don't think anything out there can beat it) so I am content for now.

When I buy a house I want to seperate my audio and video into two seperate rooms. My system is way too complicated right now.

By the way if you need an awesome universal remote I just bought a logitech Harmony One. It's so easy to program and it will work with everything you own.

Chad my man. Nice looking room you got going there. I'm jealous. I don't have the projector setup going yet!

That's funny. I have a PS3 and all I use it for is to play blu-ray movies. Of course that has more to do with the fact that the PS3 doesn't have any good games.

By the way I used to have a Rega RB-300. It is a great tonearm. In fact I had to spend over $3,000 to really get a significant upgrade from it. That says a lot about the Rega.

Hey Chad,

It looks like you have put together a system that you really enjoy. I have not heard most of the components but it sounds like it produces music that makes you happy...and that's what this whole hobby is about (or should be about but lots of people forget that).

By the way I spied an Xbox 360 up there on the top of the cabinet. Nice to see another gamer on Audiogon (unless that's not yours in which case ummm I guess I shouldn'task if your going to get Bioshock when it comes out in August).
