Blows away Kitchen Aid
on December 9, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Our blenderizing just made it to the 21st Century! Forget the "tried-and-true" KitchenAid wedding gift--this has so much more power and options. Love this particular package with traditional blender and the two size of smoothies. Excellent product offering. Still getting used to the auto setting for smoothies, but it certainly works well. Waited too long to buy a new blender, but we are very happy thanks to an incredible Black Friday deal

Nice upgrade from DT ProMonitor 1000
on September 21, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Got these on a crazy sale--Def Tech must be bringing out a new upgrade--that helped me step up from ProMonitor 1000s. I now have four of the 1000s out in my wood shop with a Polk sub: crazy good sound despite all the sound-bouncing garage surfaces. So as for these new Studio Monitors. Very good mid and treble, with impressive bass that has me still turning down our DT ProSub 800. This L/R set is paired with a ProCenter 2000, which does most of the work for movies and TV, but they really excel in 2.1 mode for music. Feel lucky to have picked these up for my *second* AV room, which happens to be the place that I listen to music more regularly. Still breaking them in, but very happy

Third time is the charm?
on August 19, 2017
Posted by: CharlieCat
from Indiana corn fields
Verified Purchase:Yes
So if this were based purely on my wife's (the user's) views, there would be another half or full star. But as the purchaser who has seen three different versions of Fitbits die out after less than nine months each, I'm wondering if this have been adequately named. Maybe "not-fully-fit-for-service-bit"!
?!?
But at least the design keeps evolving. So maybe this time they have got it right...

Really enjoyable
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: CharlieCat
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was not too impressed by the previews - what, another young Disney heroine paired with a male buffoon? But my daughter convinced me to watch it, and I enjoyed it. Some of the character developments were not surprising -- Granmie, lava monster -- but not as bad as in Kubo, which was waaaay too obvious (parent story line)

Almost as good as Empire
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: CharlieCat
Verified Purchase:Yes
Empire Strikes back is the litmus test for me. While this has a few weak characters - not Forest Whitaker's fault! he is always good if the writing is - I did not walk away cringing over Jar-Jar, Dex, or the wooden Anakin and Padme performances. And I gotta admit, Felicity Jones really surprised me. Normally she underwhelms, but here her typical vulnerability worked to add depth to a character who was essentially orphaned and then abandoned by her surrogate father (nee terrorist). I must say tho - I hated the CG Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia

Better than Potter

Verified Purchase:Yes
The title may sound like sacrilege, but as a stand-alone movie this easily tops every single Harry Potter movie if judged as *only* a single movie. Great casting.

Buy j5 if you need an adapter
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: CharlieCat
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having both PC and Mac products, I am always aware of the need for dongles and adapters, especially now with USB-C and ultrabooks that are too slim for last-gen connections (Ethernet & VGA). I use two different j5 adapters for my skinny HP Spectre that has USB3 and a mini display port. (HDMI has actually been problematic for sound--not on the HP, but into AV boxes/boards I've used in conference rooms.) I've also used the j5 on Macs. Great product, and I really appreciate the thick cables. When you pay this much, you don't want to worry about skinny cables and wimpy connectors. Buy with confidence. No glitches or "handshake" issues or updates needed

They Keep Getting Better
on March 13, 2017
Posted by: CharlieCat
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not a graphic novel freak or one who knows all the characters in the Marvel universe, but we really enjoyed this latest installment. Eagerly awaiting the big free-for-all when all the various characters get together again. We love Cumberbatch in Sherlock and just about everything else he does, and he does play "arrogant" much better than just about any other actor I can think of. Suspend your sense of reality and just go with the flow. It is like Inception on magical mushrooms (from Nepal)

No problems
on December 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This has the specs you will eventually need. It is a hefty cable with chunky connectors that will set you up for when 4K is more accessible. Our satellite service only sends out 1080i, not 1080p, but we have this running from our 4K upscaling Denon 920 receiver I nto a 4K upscaling Vizio E Serie tv, and the cable performs. Any mosaic or other digital noise is not the cables fault--blame the source. The cost is better than other in-store cables, but on this particular day I was in a hurry and was willing to pay for it. I wanted a good cable without waiting a "Prime-ium" (so to speak) of two days for a cable to arrive

This Sony BDPS6500 Blu-ray player features built-in Wi-Fi. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.
 

Does it play 4K dvds or just upscale blue ray dvds?

Upscale only. To play 4K disks you need a true 4K player or a new gaming system that played 4K. If the price is $300 or more, you should be in the right place

Denon HEOS 1 Portable Wireless Speaker: Get the party started with streaming audio or listen to your favorite tunes by the pool with this portable speaker. Charging your USB devices and wired connectivity are quick and easy, thanks to the USB port.
 

Is setup difficult?

We have had no setup issues whatsoever. Own two first gen Heos 1 and a first gen Heos 5. Setup was a breeze, the app has been stable, and we can easily play from Rhapsody account and what we have on our iOS devices. There is not a Windows 10 app for the Heos, which is a bit of a bummer, but there are workarounds that you can explore to, say, run a line into the speaker from your headphone jack on a laptop. Here in stormy Indiana we often have had to unplug these from the wall (thunderstorms), but they come right back up to get on our wifi network and sync with our devices and the Heos app
