HDTV Listings for November 17, 2009 {Engadget HD}
Nov 17th 2009 8:25PM I record V just to watch in the background. I find that Tuesday is a bust for TV in my opinion, so I watch what ever netflix sent me.

Blu-ray releases on November 17th 2009 {Engadget HD}
Nov 17th 2009 12:12AM I notice a while back, just never said anything about it. I liked the links, but I understand it adds a bunch of work on your end to add the links when we lazy people can just copy and paste into netflix. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Engadget HD Podcast 160 - 10.20.2009 {Engadget HD}
Oct 21st 2009 9:40PM UK uses 110/120volts AC at 50Hz and 220/240volts AC at 50Hz. US uses 110/120volts AC at 60Hz and 220/240volts AC at 60Hz. I say 110/120 volt because the standard was 110volts and how most of the time you will find voltage is 110-120volts. If you are ever someplace that has a 3 or 4 prong 220/240volt AC you can make 2 separate 120volt AC out of it. 220/240volts AC has 2 hots and 1 neutral and hopefully a ground. The voltage across the hots is 220/240volts while the voltage across the 1 hot to neutral(or ground) is 110/120volts AC. 220/240volts AC is more efficient because at 110/120volts you may need 15amps to run a piece of equipment while at 220/240volts you will only need 7 amps to run the same equipment(assuming it is setup to run on either voltage). This is nice because it requires smaller wire for installation and allows for smaller(cheaper) fuses/beakers. Just thought you guys would like that cleared up.

Ask Engadget HD: Best headphone setup for a home theater? {Engadget HD}
Sep 23rd 2009 11:55PM Thanks for all of the suggestions, I submitted this question 3/20/09 so I'll give you guys an update I have Senn HD555, Senn HD280, AKG 280mk2, and Sleek Audio SA6. At the time I only had the HD555 and HD280 I will most likely use the HD280s, I am just looking for an amp. I tried the JVC dolby headphone amp, it has a horrible hiss and runs on batteries. I will defiantly read some reviews of the bithead. I may splurge and get a nicer desktop model from Head Room. I hope someday to upgrade my reciever/processor to include dolby headphone tech, I currently use a Crown K2 to power my stereo speakers(self made/designed). I run everything in Stereo because I'm old school like that. I know a lot about sound reenforcement and speakers, little about headphone amps. Again thanks for all of your suggestions and help. Just so you know I picked up a set of Bose 2.0 speakers at a yard sale for 20$ I've been using them in the mean time.
