Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[ParadigmDawg]

Today is Niki and my ninth anniversary.

She's claiming that nine years is the ground turkey anniversary. Sounds good to me.

Our little one is 6 years old now. I found the Audioholic link about her and posted below. It seems like we have had her about 1 year.

I played around with some settings on the Sony last night. It's no F8500, but it's looking better than before. I used the calibration disc on Sunday, but I started changing some of the advanced settings that I normally leave off - and the blacks look much darker now.

Good to hear the Sony is working out, even if you are a dirty Samsung abandoner

I made an impulse bid on an ebay item. I only half hope I win it. Oh, who am I kidding. I want it. It shall be mine. More than likely because no one else wants it.

Dude, I can't adequately express the enormity of how different the noise level is - this Sony is absolutely quiet. If I closed my eyes, I wouldn't know it was on. The Sammy...well, unfortunately, you know. The picture still isn't nearly as good, but I think it's getting better the more I tweak it.

Good luck with the eBay item!

Oh I know. I hear that high pitched whine, every time I turn it on, but that picture keeps drawing me back in. Hopefully you find a 4K/UHD/Whatever the heck TV that can match that Sammy in PQ without that noise. If you wait long enough you'll probably pay less than you briefly paid for the Sammy to boot.

The ebay item is an amp. I definitely don't need it, but don't see one of these coming up again anytime soon. They only thing that might allow me to get it is that it's 240V, but made for the US 60Hz. Which means a simple step up converter should do that trick. I'm just hoping that nobody else who looks at it figures that out.

What is everybody asleep? How BORING

So, what will you have to unplug - the clothes dryer, or the stove?

Neither yet. Maybe I can get a splitter........

For a guy who doesn't run subs, he seems to be able to design them well enough.

He definitely doesn't need them and it's clearly a world class setup, but even hearing it I still went a different way.

That's awesome! I think that pooch is definitely a favorite around here.

Thanks!

Geez, dropped all the way to page 4.

Does it amuse anyone else that Alex is top 10 in most negative points? I think we should all help him get to number 1.

A guy at work is looking for gear. That's always fun.

How did you determine that? You made it up, didn't you? I don't know how Rick puts up with the lies, the deceit.

Nice new gay avatar, btw.

In other news, I'm contemplating putting a 240V line by the subwoofer. Doesn't hurt that its all of two feet away from the breaker box.

Yea, gay for you. Wait a minute.......

That would be really creepy if I thought you meant it. You got some serious Twister potential there, laddy. I wouldn't be surprised to see the championship belt on you in the next few years.

Better a belt than that pearl necklace that Rick keeps trying to give me

While all this sophomoric behavior may be funny.
Does anyone give an ounce of consideration to Doug's feelings?

Last I heard Alex gave Doug more than an ounce.

Rick has given out a whopping 22 rainbows. I think he might be projecting
