My
Home Theater
Approximately two
years ago I got interested in the newly emerging DVD format and soon
started pursuing the dream of owing a home theater system with as
many of the bells and whistles as I could afford. I
have always enjoyed movies and unlike many others I know, I can watch
a movie numerous times before growing truly bored with it. I will
often play a movie I know well for background noise when working at
home. I will stop working at the assorted interesting spots in the
movie and watch just those. I have found that this can help pace my
work and I actually end up getting more done. The
introduction of DVDs finally provided me with the ability to develop
a large collection and watch movies without wearing them out (a problem
I had encountered with VHS tapes) and the sound was spectacular if
one invested in the proper equipment. I rapidly learned that watching
movies at home was much better than at most theaters. At a theater,
the movie is almost always played too loud, the crowd is often a pain
in the ass, and one cannot stop to go to the bathroom or get food/treats
without missing something. With all these advantages in mind I have
slowly built a respectable Home Theater and DVD
collection. Having invested the time and effort into building
this system I decided to assemble this web page to show off what I
have to those who might be interested. For a collection of links where
one can find assistance in constructing their own Home Theater, you
are directed to my separate page of fun
links. Equipment
