| 2nd systems- who’s got one? We remodeled our basement a year ago and my wife said we should include a system there. The main system upstairs is based on a powerful solid state amp so I wanted to do something different but very basic. It consists of a Black Ice Audio Jolida F... | |
| Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with Oppo Well, I have to say the Firestick has transformed the Oppo. Not only does YouTube perform as is intended but the picture quality is better as well. A big thumbs up for the Firestick! | |
| Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with Oppo Now that makes sense. I recently had to replace my iPad because Tidal updated their service and it was no longer compatible with the OS I was running and the iPad could no longer be upgraded. What a pain. So it sounds like my conclusion was right... | |
| Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with Oppo I have considered that but I can stream YouTube on my laptop using wifi without a glitch even with others on the system. Yet when I try it on my Oppo with no one else home, it freezes up. I have not been able to explain it. The firmware is current... | |
| Acoustic treatment and acoustic mechanical control over gear upgrade for improvement I burned some herb once.....okay, maybe more than once! | |
| Current Questions we start with the speaker, and determine which amplifiers will work and which will not, and then go from there. We can talk about current in isolation, but it seems easier if we started with an example of what speakers you wanted to consider runn... | |

| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Gee, and I always thought time was relative. | |
| Current Questions I can't believe no one has answered the OP's original question. What is current? To do so we need to go back to electricity 101. Forget Ohm's law for now. Think of electricity as the flow of water in a pipe. Current is like the flow of water. It i... | |
| Tube amp question I absolutely asked Jerred. That was the response I posted earlier in the thread. | |
| Tube amp question I just wanted to close the loop here. I received the KT150’s yesterday and carefully installed them, I turned the amp on and allowed them to warm up and adjusted the bias (which took minimal adjustment) then let it settle in for several minutes, s... | |
| Slightly OT: The Tragedy of Macbeth I read an article a few months ago that asked if you are having a problem hearing movie dialog? But not so much "hearing" it as being able to distinguish the words. Apparently it has a lot to do with the sound production at the time the movie is m... | |
| Tube amp question @boomerbillone Thank you for the insightful explanation! | |
| Tube amp question Thanks, I'll see how the KT150's shake out and I may consider that. | |
| Tube amp question Just a little more background here. The amp came with the EH EL34's. Having read a lot about the Genelex Gold Lions, I decided to give them a try (same EL34's). The sound quality was improved and I really liked them but they seemed to lack a bit o... |
