Board seems to have issues lately. Hope this comment ends up where it's supposed to instead of some random thread!

So you consider audio a religion?

I thought audio was a Latin verb. Surely you are not talking about that epic song by L.S.D.?

^I thought 'audio' was goodbye to a single Spaniard.

The bass is overpowering and washes out the rest of the FR in smaller rooms on the RIVA Turbo X. This can be managed by the changing the surface you set it on, but it'll never be great.

I liked the Riva but I had that issue as well. Still my top choice. Willing to spend a bit because I don't have room even for a small bookshelf stereo system

Also curious about the Sonos

iancanada has an FPGA module for NOS. It might be reprogrammable.

Already have a dev board

I just discovered this site. Might be useful

Photographic evidence required, send to @Uri Cohen for verification.

I always say thicker is better.

Prefer better Xmax,be a grower not a shower.

LCD fixture is soldered down to the board at multiple points. Too much trouble for what its worth

That's a shame. Obviously different from the 75's and 87's that I was familiar with.

Oh, by the way, check all the solder connections of the display module with a magnifying glass. Look for "dry solder joints" that can be simply resoldered. The tell-tale sign is a circle in the solder fillet surrounding the pin. Google "dry solder joint".

Real adults have better sound systems, real parties have better speakers, and real music lovers wouldn't touch the damn thing.

Thanks for the info, you have enlightened me!

Real music lovers would actually purchase something like this, when they prefer listening too music and not the system. Convenient, durable and portable. It is made for outside usage, so inside it will be boomy. The Charge 3 is more balanced sounding and better value.

Curious why you left it originally? I avoid vinyl because I know it'll cater to my worst obsessive tendencies. Plus I have kids to feed.

Is this parody?

Was thinking I return to a minimalist setup with Turntable > Phono > Headphone amp. All SE components. A focus back on the music that requires you to sit down and make you listen.

Glad to have provided some help. I'm thinking about doing YouTube videos if I have time

Probably not on audio though!

welcome back!

Yep. Happy to obstruct fucking assholes at any opportunity.

You're a big guy

Yawn.

So much (delicious) salt! But this is going to be a great year for everyone, even the haters.

@imackler Yes! I'm hopeful a @schiit DDC/Manhattan/Modibit stack will help me feel less ruined by someone stealing my Yggdrasil...

Bullshit.

@OJneg Incidentally, the Episode III novelization is actually pretty enjoyable. Does the story some justice, at any rate.

i wish i could kill kids and have people defend me

tho i don't actually wish to kill kids. just the general idea, y'know?

@shipsupt, got it. Peace.

Read through most of the comments. IMO, being a friend to someone does not only consist of compassion and acceptance. This seems to me like trying to be in the 'safe zone' always. It is like really never doing anything because something might come of it.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Welcome back!

Welcome back

Being deplorable never felt this good

Go team dynamic?

Go team 9/11?

We know which side CIA falls on, I think. ;)

Good one!

Speak of the devil.

Need to build that sea wall quickly

The Chi-Fi marketing machine on Hype-Fi is going to freak out, where's my popcorn...

Dog meat in old Chinese dietary medicine texts is classified as "sour" so I imagine it's not so great. Clearly a certain antarctic explorer disagrees.

Racial stereotype jokes are SO last decade.
