Endless Mike posted:my onkyo sounds fine to me and seemed okay until it got the hdmi death. thankfully they repaired it for free including shipping both ways (and even sent me a box to ship it in), so i can't complain too much. when it comes time to replace it i won't get another, though. care to elaborate? One of my HDMI ports gets glitchy but I haven't tried a different cable to see if that's the issue yet.

The Management posted:there is still a big difference between receivers. software on all receivers is universally garbage, so you want one that is as dumb as possible. but receivers from marantz and Harman are still going to sound a lot better than ones from onkyo or sony, even the cheap ones. why the heck would you lump onkyo in with sony

we interrupt this stereo broadcast to bring you more tangentially related laffs. most packages for linux distros tend to take a while from "vendor squeezes out update into toilet" and "distro flushes toilet down to the sewers of package management". such is the case with chromium. except chromium (and chrome in general) have a built-in time bomb where it will stop trusting certain certificates after 10 weeks from the date it was built on. oops. "i can't access any of my banking and a bunch of cdns don't work and "maybe we shouldnt do this in the future". quote:A timebomb existed that if the set of known CT logs goes stale, scroogled again e: ubuntu has a "fix committed" according to the issue tracker. the fix is to just re-build the same old version to reset the time bomb.

hey, it just so happens that i have an audio-related question and you guys are talking about stereo stuff! my pc speakers are doing a lot of that sixty-cycle hum when i turn them on. these are pretty old speakers, so i could be talked into buying newer, better ones. but is there a nice, straightforward way to make it cut it out with the humming?

ground loop isolators are a godsend last time I had this problem it was with 2 computers fed through a mixer into a receiver, buzzed like hell. I "fixed" it by grounding both computers together with jumper cables to the case
