Enjoyable super hero movie
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: Rick
from Tinley Park, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really liked this version of Spider-Man. It's more about a kid who is still trying to figure out who he is as a super hero, and his life has all kinds of twists and turns. From how do you protect your secret identity, how to use technology, and how do you date when you have so much too do. Nice ending too.

A bit pricey, but a nice upgrade which provided improved sound and video quality for my home theater setup where I have it connected between my DVD player and Receiver.

Superb Movie - Sully made the right choice
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: Rick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think this was a superb movie/drama about two pilots who made difficult choices and did the nearly impossible to save everyone on the plane, yet were severely criticized for not following protocols that would have ended in disaster. Before I saw the movie I never realized the harsh treatment the review board put these Hero's through.

Great power conditioner/surge protector
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: Rick
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second Panamax M5300 unit and they are well worth the money (especially on sale). Despite power surges and storms, I've had no issues with either unit and I can hear a difference in sound quality and slight difference in picture quality (especially on my 65" 4K TV). I'm hoping the unit I purchased last month will avoid DVR failures in my family room setup (previously lost 3 DVR's in ~5 years due to power surges/dips). I really think the staged approach for powering up audio/video equipment really makes a difference too.

Great graphics, but not for individual play
on March 26, 2016
Posted by: Rick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think the design of the game from a graphics and star wars world/content is excellent, but the game is lacking for those of us not connected to the internet for multiplayer campaign play. Really would have been nice to have longer individual missions or campaigns.

How is the vodka cable better than the Chocolate cable?

The Vodka cable has better connectors and appears to provide a clearer signal. I started with Chocolate Audio Quest HDMI cables and moved up to Carbon and then to Vodka in keep areas for my home theater setup. The biggest improvement was in sound quality with less improvement in picture quality. However the improved picture quality is noticeable on my 65" SONY 4K TV. I found the best place to start is the connection between the DVD Player and Receiver. I currently have Vodka cables from the DVD to Receiver and Receiver to the TV. All others are Carbon cables. I also noticed an improvement during my initial upgrade from Chocolate to Carbon too.
