Help! Anthem STR preamp ARC sounds bad now compared to off
Wait what?  It only applies to Profile 1?  Well that changes things.I actually think 10 locations might have been the problem too.  The first time I ran ARC, I used 5 locations, but never moved the mic from the first position.  
Oppo's gone, now what dvd/bluray to buy (Oppo BDP-105d)
@tweak1 Wait Im confused, what did you spend $500 on?  I don't even know what an LPM or IEC is to be honest.

Thanks @nonoise ..  I really don't see a reason in spending $1000 on a dvd player now days.  I wouldn't use its dac anyway and don't need the streaming bells & whistles.  Heck, I could probably drop down below the $499 Panasonic you mentioned ... 
Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 diffraction pads and resistors
Pretty sure it's 7 or 7.5 inch driver.  Either way, I ordered new resistors..  Let's see if this works or if I blow the speaker up completely.  I successfully took off all the old diffraction pad residue today so they look awesome.  Whether or not... 
Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 diffraction pads and resistors
Do they make a 7.5 inch driver?  Im not too crazy about changing these to make them aftermarket products.  Feels like putting new rims on a Bentley or something.  idk.

@dgarretson yep, if you peel back the Wilson sticker on the woofer, it says Scanspeak.  I would doubt there's any modification to the driver.  That's a heck of alot cheaper than the $400 Wilson replacement.

Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
I've tried two different HDMI switches and neither work.  One, the sound bleeds through to the other system.  The other was just a fail.  I'm not sure why this is not a more common problem.I figure a lot of people have a HT in their main living ro...

Thanks erik.  When I touched the speaker wire to the actual mid driver terminals, the amp shut off.  Probably a stupid thing to do.

Im not sure what kind of meter you're talking about and what to look for. 
Upgrade DAC recommendation
@aeschwartz would you turn off the clock in the Node even without an external dac? 
Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
@mahler123  No.. Why would i do that?  I have a home theater on the same tv that I also have a soundbar.  For normal watching, I don't want to crank up the entire home theater system and just want the simple soundbar.Why am I worried about losing ... 
Repair Watt Puppy 5.1 Diffraction Pads
Bringing this one back!  Do the diffraction pads affect the sound?  I would figure they do right? 
Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
Thanks @audiotroy Question about that. Nothing is lost?  Still get 4k and atmos?Also, it looks like the one I'm looking at has a button on it to switch between the two, I guess that's the only option correct?  To get up and click the button?  Not ... 
Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
Interesting, what powered planars are you using? Can you add subs to that?
