| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? I saw someone mention paint. I got Kodak gray card and had the local paint store match it in a flat finish then painted the ceiling. It cuts down on reflected light and doesn't look too bad either. It would be good to paint the walls too but tha... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? Since the standard is to define screens diagonally that's how I stated mine. My projector is calibrated and the output is reduced, but it is still plenty bright. The reviews mention that this projector has higher than average output when calibrate... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? I have a 120" screen and a projector with much less output than Aux recommends. A Sony HW40ES with 1700 lumens and screen gain of one. I use it set to output much less than that and it is more than bright enough. At full brightness it is way too ... | |
| Why such low power with DIY tubeamp kits? Your amp is class AB, push-pull, with each output tube only working half the time. They are biased so the tubes are just barely conducting with no signal. Most of the kits I've seen are class A single ended triode which means the tube is on abou... | |
| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app some people just feel like victims I guess......and some people just add snarky comments to threads that add nothing worthwhile I guessThanks to those who offered constructive advice.

| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app so Jriver charges you $50 for the program, no problem, but then sticks you for another $10 for the remote appoverall I don't have an issue with $60 for all, just seems kind of underhanded | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? on topic, no angertoo Todd's point, I use DIY cat5 cables for both speaker and interconnects.IMHO opinion there are so many other variables that the wires you use are the final piece to the puzzle. Since things like speaker placement and electroni... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? what is interesting is he sells magic pebbles, magic plastic flowers, magic little digital clocks, magic phone calls that transform your room when you hold the receiver up in the room, etc....... So how do you explain he currently has 1193 positiv... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? That probably explains your proclivity for wagging your tongue. It must be genetic.she is my grandfather's second wife, not my Mother's mother, so not genetic | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? More tongues wagging here than at a little old ladies quilting conventionI find that remark very offensive!!!!!!my grandmother is a "little old lady" who quilts | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Sabai, you are right. The posts are purely for entertainment value since they can't possibly be based on anything factual All you need is plain old tap water. Everyone should be familiar with the relationship of heat and sound, that sound travels... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Sabai, we have both been lured into yet another convoluted thread where geoff alternates his position . He has stated that magnets do not affect the signal When magnets are used around the room, on chassis, on walls, on wood shelves, on mirrors, ... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? OK, you have me on a technicality about photons but you are still wrong at the most fundamental level. As you can see from the quotes below and many others, if you care to look, photons are usually reserved for visible light. The term photon (mean... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? For me this is not an intellectual or scientific pursuit. It is strictly a pursuit of the best possible sound. My ears have been tested to 18000Hz. I trust my ears.Brilliant! | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Someone mentioned magnets were being used to cut down on RFI/EMI. That’s an interesting idea in light of the fact, no pun intended, that RF is comprised of photons which as we know have no magnetic charge EMI stands for ElectroMagnetic Interferenc... |
