you do such nice work

I found the USS Missouri (Big Mo) to be fascinating. On a similar work related journey to the islands I had some time and I spent it there. That battleship was something else to tour. Its nearly 100 year old tech and yet it still brings the thunder.

I joined the Apple ecosystem just so I could listen to music on that gadget they used to have, the iPod. I thought it was great because I traveled a lot and it was one easy way to drag my music with me. Fast forward a decade or so and I am completely immersed in Apple. But on this forum I...

Pay attention to @BoredSysAdmin on topics like this. He knows what he's talking about. The details matter and the seemingly odd little details can kill you. All solid ideas. I run Plex server with Plex Pass and it does the job on a Windows machine with a NAS. There's a learning curve for...

I concur. My daughter did her entire home with Sonos speakers and deferring zones to suit her taste. Rather than try to cobble something together, the Sonos system will let you do what you wish within its system design.

Swerd, thanks for sharing that. What a great backstory to my Songtowers. The effort and love he put in to this creations showed through bright enough even I could see it way out here in the desert. I'm keeping my Salks and I think I will keep this story as well. thanks again.

wow. you beat me in packing 10lbs of sugar in to a 5lb bag. I'll bet you made it sound great as well. When the room is small, you can concentrate on the details that make the sound pop. There aren't a lot of distractions. Your primary listening chair is just that usually, a single position...

I have a room (10 ft x 10 ft with a small alcove for the door) that images perfectly in 2.1 with a sub. It's a near field setup and you definitely have to tune your setup to optimize it. I used REW and the brethren here to help me get it dialed in. It is freakin' outstanding. Not just good...

Swerd I just read this thread for the first time so I am just now freshly bummed out about the news of Salk closing. I can only echo the comments of those who have had good relationships with Jim Salk and his company. As well as those who have some of his fine speakers. I am proud to own a...

Add to your well managed system the fact that you have a love of your music. If memory serves me correctly, you have a love of classical music and the composer Verdi in particular. Having music that you love and can sit and enjoy for as long as you wish is a blessing. I purchased and built...

Quit chasing unicorns all the time and a lot of problems cease to be problems. That will be today's quote of the day. I wrote a really nice reply but realized it all comes down to simple pleasures, so I erased it. This is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby. One that brings joy to our ears and...

I just read this entire thread today for the first time. I must say, this one degenerated faster than a Russian government promise. I thought the initial replies by the AH brethren were levelheaded and factual. Old is just an adjective and not an insult. In the world of electronics, old...

GREAT QUESTION. For some, the redundancy is too much, and they will default to just the Smart TV and its list of apps. They don't see a need and don't want to spend the extra shekels. I get that. It is a legitimate approach to go Smart TV only. For me, my experience with not being able to...

I am no help at all here. But I will wager dollars to donuts that @TLS Guy will have an excellent set of ideas. Great post. Even if I can't help, this is just geek level cool.

Like everyone has already noted, Logitech is out of the game. I loved my Harmony and would still be using it but it sadly lost the ability to communicate. I have tried several others and have been sorely disappointed. There is one that has worked out and I now have a couple of them. The...

Al Stewart is a great talent that to me is an acquired taste. So different yet so very good. Year of the Cat is just one odd piece of music yet it still plays well today. Thanks for the reminder

Without reiterating everything you just said, I am also a firm believer in buying value over low price. I have found for things that matter to me (not everything matters) I often forget price as soon as I get the item at home. But the value lasts for a long time. I am willing to pay a premium...

This is what I remember. From ebay. Its a brand name but not a really widespread one from what I remember

I would personally be interested in seeing a few pictures of it to get a sense of general condition. Many times, putting money into restoration of old electronics is more of a trip down memory lane exercise than a practical one. Its value is strictly "up to you" . But, some pic's would help.

Chuck Welcome to the AH and I can pretty much guarantee there will be enough opinions on how to improve your TV sound that something should resonate with you. First off, congrats on the TV. That's a biggun'. We recently upgraded to the 85" size and my goodness what a fun thing that is...
