As goofy as Chuck is I loved the show. The way the show goes gives me an interesting look on how shows get produced. Don't want to spoil it though.

Thanks guys. The Omnisats are a little bit bigger and go a bit lower (70hz ish). I have front and center speakers already (with a decent sub coming in the future) and was just trying to find something that might give me a little more ambiance than the normal small speakers used for surrounds.

I can get a 5 pack for a reasonable price so was thinking of using them in the bedroom as well for background music.

70 Hz is very sweet. I would go for it. Congratz!

@fraggler Yeah they seem to have rebranded their models. I was refering to the class of efficiency, by which they used to solely differentiate them. Gold may be sufficient too, have a look on silentpcreview.com (?).

Dunno if it’s still the case but Seasonic used to build the Corsair PSUs, the one I tried was good but the fan had an unpleasant noise characteristic. That was a long time ago, though.

Thanks, all. I used to have a Saeasonic way back in the day when I spent too much time on SPCR. My current Silverstone has been fantastic these last 10 years (!) With the exception of the fan failing twice. I kind of want to go back to Seasonic again.

How much overhead do you need? Using an online calculator, my current rig could max out around 450 and my potential upgrade system would hit 550. Would a Gold or Platinum rated 650 work?

The Jack-Jack/raccoon showdown was kind of amazing.

I'm tempted to go back on $5 Tuesday just to see that scene again. Up there with seeing Yoda fight for the first time as my all time cackling-like-a-madman favorite fight scenes.

It definitely ranks among the better Pixar films. Great comedic moments, good-to-decent action scenes, plus that soundtrack is amazing!

For blurays, I think bluray.com and the usual A/V sites' reviews are fine. Dunno why but like somebody said here, even though most A/V sites are pretty deaf, they're not bad at reviewing the V.

I didn't know how much comparisons were made. There are so many releases (multiple Bluray releases, Anniversary releases, 4K transfers, remasters, etc.) that it is sometimes hard to track what has changed. I have some Blurays from the early days that are starting to degrade (can actually see it on the disc), and am trying to sort through my options.

Criterion releases are always top notch, if your movie is in their library. Bluray.com is pretty good for sussing out the various releases too. AVSforum might be worth a look too.

All new. All characters from past games plus a couple new ones!

Nintendo can have my money when Smash Bros comes to the Switch. Then I can feel like a kid again playing Mortal Kombat for the first time, just more kawaii...

It's all the old games..."Feed me quarters!!!!!!"

I always thought it was funny that they made 100 varients of Street Fight II before finally making a Street Fighter III

Sadly, I've never seen this musical. Shame on me, I know.

Still better than the NBC live show with John Legend, though Mary Magdalene at the Lyric wasn't as good as Sarah Bareilles.

Watch the movie from 1973 if you are interested. I still like that version the best.

Check out Man of No Ego. It's not exactly bladerunner, but definitely qualifies as good spacey stuff.

My comment is too long to post here. Maybe start a thread? Please provide more information on your environment and set up if you can.

Started a thread in General Audio.

Funny because there are a lot of posts that the Chinese government would not approve of.

Are you on vacation?

Yes, and I can still access Basecamp for work during down time. I just normally use Google stuff for communications with family and travel (maps/translation). Without access to even Play store, is difficult to get alternative chat options

Please do report back!

Visited Music Hifi 2 years ago. They were real nice folks: http://www.hifi.com.tw/

Wow, have fun and report back!

Tried to post, but getting an error (doesn't like URLs?). Sending a PM.

Let me know if you need any other local info, or want to meet up :-)

I wonder if there will ever be a RBCD Rennaissance like vinyl. Come on hipsters, make my CDs worth a fortune!

@fraggler If you rip using EAC or dbPoweramp you will rarely, and I mean that in the strictest sense, not end up with a bit perfect rip. I've ripped over a thousnd, and erring on the side of caution maybe 10 slowed EAC down noticeably, and I always ended up with a perfect FLAC rip.

Thanks for the update. Now I simply list the albums I cannot easily get in NL and buy the FLAC versions before it is too late. Basically everything Janelle Monae, Outkast and Sharon Jones...

Thank you for the reminder. My wife and I plan to go again on Sunday and I just purchased tickets.

Puccini's Turandot and Straight No Chaser. Very different styles of musical presentation, but both moved me.
