    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    There aren't enough forms of natural selection left, so any that mankind dreams up I am all for those people doing what they do.

    The over the air/streaming is SO much better quality than cable. The interface would suck for channel surfing, but the menu system is better compensating.

    I have a couple page list of bs to put on Craigslist, have taken two Escalade loads of clothes in bags. Kids go through some stuff....and I still had shit from high school.

    Crap. Sorry mang. The downsizing is refreshing, I've been trying like hell to liquidate...but have been avoiding the audio closet.

    I have more than 2000' of those running stuff in the house. Problem is they don't plug into my phone very well, lol

    M@#$)#*Fucker. Finally have a stable wifi situation with a linksys dual band. Go to plug in my 3TB external drive to change up my whole network and the router doesn't see it. Piece of shit won't read GPT over 2tb. Seems to really like MBR but that is also limited to 2TB. Of course I am 9 days past the 30 day return on it as well. Curious to see how Microcenter deals with that. I have NO idea what to get though now

    Matt - the W wants new pillows. I have no idea what to do. Both side sleepers although I may be a back sleeper with a better pillow. Currently I get my kidneys walloped if I sleep on my back as I saw logs like I am trying to take out the whole BWCA in one night. On my side that isn't a problem.
  10. Have you driven a tri toureg and a cayenne turbo back to back? That is akin to the answer of your question. Different customer base = different design

    Advice on budget Receiver

    Cost of ownership is purchase price minus selling price. Are you missing something? What will it cost you? I do find it funny the percentage of 5/7 channel amplifiers are run in 2 channel mode. Personally I run mine in 3, but just no way for rears in my normal sitting room.

    Fucks it completely. Some sort of interference. Supposedly there are some bulbs that don't do it....but I haven't found then

    Ie, it will no longer respond to your remote until you are 3' from the door. Mine normally work at about 500' but with bulb I have to nearly touch the door

    Just don't put them in your garage door opener.

    CFL's are useless. Costco has 100w equivalent LED bulbs on sale right now 10 for $36

    I did use an audio only after that period, but for when I was in the garage and even with screams I wouldn't hear. Allowed me to be away and close by. I am also contemplating adding one for another reason though. Our beach and beach firepit is 300 yards from the house. I'd like to sit there and monitor the house. Won't use monitors for that though, but security cameras which I find useless for security but useful for prying.

    Use the rear pre-amp to a splitter and have it run into both the sub and front amp. Unplug the rears, ignore them whatever...

    Ok, useless may not be the right word. They ruin how the stereo sounds. They are a net negative. Destroy the frequency response and stage which of course is hard enough without them in the first place. I

    The sticks were $25 and $30 respectively. Cheapest options for streaming. It was black Friday when I bought them...

    I have the sticks active atm. The set "top" boxes I didn't open. They both search most things, but only streaming content and some apps. Regrettably neither search any live tv or the Sling TV app. Those two apps have their own search function, but it isn't voice compatible which for searching you want. The Roku wins here though IMO as you can search on your phone while you watch something else. The Fire requires you use the TV to search so it stops whatever is on.

    Spell check ftmfl. Rears are useless...they bring me to tears perhaps, but I didn't mean to type tears.
