I didn't go with OLED when I bought my last set, because I wanted something bigger than 65 inches and the 77 inch OLED was something like $20k. I am still quite happy with my Sony XBR, which still cost a bloody fortune, because it was the first generation of 4K HDR and I had to pay the early...

Those look great! I have no idea what she is talking about.

I have the old ones that Flint modified in my office. :)

I don't think you are going to find one with an A/B switch.

One minor complaint about this amp. The noise floor is high enough that I turn it off when I'm not using it. That is one place where the $140 price shows. Another is that the subwoofer output has a fixed 200hz crossover point and no gain control. The speakers only run full-range. It is...

I wanted to put a music system in my office that was not connected to my computer. The main reason is that my Mackie CR3s are connected to my KVM switch and move back and forth between my PC and the company laptop. I don't want to stream music over the corporate network and re-wiring everything...

The cheap speakers I bought actually sound better than the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer soundbase I was using before.

Edifier makes marginally better speakers than the ones I bought that are still under $200. The main issue you will run into with all of them is driver size. If you have a big room, you will likely not want 4" drivers. Fluance makes some nice stuff, but they start at $259 and go up from there.

Me too. I'm kinda proud of myself for NOT buying the better speakers.

I wanted to get a pair of speakers for the master bedroom. At first, I was looking at great little speakers from Fluance and Audio Engine in the $300-500 price range. Then I realized something. These speakers will never be used for "serious" listening. They will play background music while we...

This is a lot of why I just buy most of my movies on Vudu (or fill-in-you-favorite).

I will not pay for any content service that makes me watch ads. I'll pay an upcharge to avoid ads, but I have no interest in any service that makes me watch them.

I am not a fan of smart TVs and use external streaming devices on all my sets, partly because of bad experiences with TV manufacturers trying to drive me toward specific apps or content. I wish there was an option to turn all the smart crap off, but alas...

We've been watching Clarkson Farm on Amazon Prime and it is hilarious. Jeremy Clarkson bought a farm and is trying to work it. Very entertaining.

This is the most ridiculous piece of snake oil I've seen in awhile. https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/ethernet-switch-for-audiophiles

I will also be following this for recommendations. I've been buying the same dirt-cheap Bluetooth headphones for members of my family for several years on the basis of cost, durability and reliability, but the sound quality is as mediocre as you would expect for $35.

We watched the first two episodes of the Wheel of Time on Amazon and thought it was very good. I was a fan of the books, so I was excited about this one from the time I found out about it maybe a year ago. We also watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop. Like the original anime, it is very...

You don't need a pool to go swimming in Houston in August.

I just got a quote to replace my system for $9347 (AC and gas furnace), plus another 700 if I want a humidifier.
