One thing I learned from the time I started dating the girl who would become my wife is that there will be completely separate gifts for birthday and Christmas (and now anniversary) because growing up she got "combination" gifts every year. I have to make up for her family's sins. Reactions: KEW and Matt34

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Nov 18, 2016 #3,689 That Disney WOW disk is pretty darn useful. My son has one and I'm grateful he came over with it and calibrated my Samsung TV. Not as big a difference as my other son got out of it with calibrating my old Toshiba Regza, but still a noticeable improvement.

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Nov 19, 2016 #3,693 The other day I heard Eric Clapton's "She's Waiting" on XM-Sirius in my car. I thought the drum track sounded pretty cool and I wanted to hear it on my home system. Hmmm....for all the EC work I own, it's not on any CD I own nor any compilation album. And it's not of Tidal Hi-Fi either. So out on my motorbike today I stopped by the bigger used CD dealer. Looking it up, the song only appeared in the Live Aid show and Clapton's 1985 album "Behind The Sun." As it turns out, Phil Collins played drums on and produced the album. No CD to be had. In the back of the store there's a few hundred LP's. I came home with this on vinyl for $8.

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Nov 19, 2016 #3,695 LOL...I dun thin so Lucy! I don't think I exceeded 55 mph anywhere today. Just a little 75-80 mile loop, don't like to ride once the sun starts setting...and that happens earlier and earlier @ this time of year. I just like to get a little seat time and burn off fuel so I can keep it as fresh as possible. If this winter is anything like the deluge of snow we got in 2013 (over 110"), there could be up to 8-10 weeks where I can't get out at all. Today was about 60ºF here, no heated gear needed.

TLS Guy Audioholic Jedi Oct 30, 2007 27,296 0 113 79 Eagan MN Nov 20, 2016 #3,696 Recent acquisitions have been: - Channel Master DVR+ 1TB. If you live in the right area this allows for hassle free cord cutting from cable. This unit is superb. My review is here. As part of the complete TV package I added an Intel NUC. Between the above DVR and this unit for easy and reliable screening you are pretty much covered. Here is my review of the Intel NUC6i5SYK minature HTPC. http://forums.audioholics.com/forum...e-htpc-easy-reliable-streaming-for-av.105574/ These units provide a fully fledged HTPC in a small footprint and sized package. This is the high road to easy, reliable and convenient streaming. My Direct TV HD 20 died recently. So I upgraded to the Direct TV Genie system. This is a big improvement over the previous service. My review is here. Because of difficulties with SlySoft/Red Fox I decided to purchase a region free BD player. It is the Sony S1500RF. My review is here. As you know I don't add equipment often, so this is a big splurge for me. I do have Chromecast on all my systems now. Reactions: rojo
