A new beginning…

Hello everyone.
My name is Eric and I’m starting this blog to document my experiences as I begin my journey into the world of high fidelity audio and visual entertainment.
I recently graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of South Florida, where I spent the last two years of my life working as Associate Editor for the University newspaper. While working for the exclusively student-run Oracle had its advantages — never having to leave campus, always having a reasonable excuse for being late to class, ect. — it also meant that as soon as I walked across the stage in my cap and gown, I was effectively “disqualified” from my job. As such, the hangover from my graduation party had barely passed before reality set in and I realized that, wow, I have to get a “real” job.
As a print reporter by trade, I began my job search […]

Buying Home Electronics: Easy To Be Hard

easydreamer wrote an interesting post today on
Here’s a quick excerpt
Guy walks into an electronics store to buy an iPod.  He’s never owned one, but wants to finally get on board like everyone else.  So he finds a salesperson at the local big-box Technomart and politely says he’d like to buy an iPod.  Salesperson says “Which one?”  Customer says “I don’t know, what’s the difference between them?  Can I see them?”  Salesperson tells customer no, you can’t see them, they’re locked in a case.  Then tells customer to go online, look up the differences and pick which one he wants.  After that, he can drive back to the store and the salesperson will gladly sell him the right iPod.  For a higher price than the customer found online.
What’s the right response here?  Laughter? Sarcasm? Outrage? A sad shake of the head?  If you voted all of the above, you’re in the mainstream.  The state of consumer electronics retailing has become […]

Home Theater Primer

just-some-guy wrote an interesting post today on
Here’s a quick excerpt
            I have noticed in my experience that there is a general unfamiliarity with the main ideas that make up a home theater experience.  The average home owner is likely to be uneducated on the topic (and that’s ok) however they are then subject to the adolescent attempts of big box home theater salesman or the frequent smooth talking technical jargon-expertise of the home theater specialist salesman.  I wish neither of these fates upon you.  You will spend more than you need to spend and not have any more understanding than you began with.  Therefore I just want to write a quick primer on the major components of a 21st century home theater system so you may be a bit more informed, educated , savvy , and less likely to get robbed by the man.  I am no expert, just someone who likes to read, research […]

Home Theater Berbasis Notebook

Here’s a quick excerpt
Sejak kecil, saya berambisi bahwa kelak jika sudah menjadi “orang” saya ingin sekali memiliki rumah mewah, dimana didalamnya terdapat sebuah ruang khusus multimedia, seperti yang telah diwujudkan oleh bapak saya. Berisi berbagai macam barang2 audio video, tempat nongkrong, nonton, main game, bermusik, sarana edukasi keluarga, tempat berkumpul anggota keluarga, pokoknya oke lah…
Home theater saat ini tidak lagi menjadi barang mewah, bahkan bagi orang berkantong pas2an saja, semua itu bisa terwujud, asalkan tahu bagaimana caranya. Ketika kuliah dulu, kamar kost saya  fungsikan sebagai home theater (kost theater lebih tepatnya :mrgreen:). Sebuah PC dilengkapi dengan speaker 5.1 channel dapat menghibur saya disaat bete. Hingga akhirnya saat sebuah bioskop studio 21 dibuka di Jogja, saya tidak berminat u/ menontonnya (baru 1 kali saya menonton di 21), bagi saya lebih merasa puas jika menonton di teater kost sendiri… walopun cuma pake monitor 15″, namun dengan settingan surround spiker 5.1 membuat saya betah menghabiskan waktu […]

McIntosh event and a chance to win some great equipment!

Here’s a quick excerpt
Well, I managed to find an fairly exciting subject for my second post — at least for those readers that happen to live within driving distance of Tampa, FL.
The company I work for, Audio Visions South, is hosting an event next week that will feature representatives from several audio/visual component manufacturers giving demonstrations and answering questions. The primary focus of the event will be on McIntosh Audio products, but other companies will be represented as well. While the event presents a great opportunity to ask questions about your favorite products to the representatives themselves, the most exciting part is that attendees will be able to enter a drawing for a chance to win a variety of prizes, including a McIntosh MC275 amplifier and a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 602.5 S3 speakers. Tickets for the drawing will be $2 and you can buy as many as you like. The more […]
