Share Bear posted:in other stuff, i'm sort of looking for new receivers. did all the hdmi crap get ironed out? is there something specific i should look for? who's a good brand now? hdmi is fine, some streaming providers lock down poo poo on 1.4 but idk anything about that my aventage is very nice but even the regular yamahas are good. There's not one particularly good or bad major brand, pick what you know. i stick with yamaha stuff bc i have a bunch already

Ehhhh not really. theres lots of 2.4ghz flying around but its all built to kind of run through each other and inverse cube means that signal strength is super flea powered more than a few feet away

c audiophile s: Picked up a time capsule from ebay. These are not 'accurate' headphones. They can arguably be uncomfortable headphones. but  quote:Sony MDR-V700 Over-Ear DJ Headphones - Silver. these are the headphones you used in 1998 when playing your records Countered with an offer that i considered a little low and they accepted, so hell yeah.

qirex posted:if sony remade them with metal post holders I'd buy new ones but I will not fall prey to that nostalgia. besides I still have a working pair of 7506 if they'd been popular like 10-15 years later i bet we'd have some dude CNC'ing replacement hinge assemblies out of aluminum or something and it'd be amazing they're a bit vintagey for people to get that sweaty over though

i have an early 80s 2.0 setup and a 2022 7.1.2 setup. both are good for their tasks but yeah a good stereo rig is just fine. surround is nice for when i smoke a bowl or w/e but you gotta have the right room placement. i basically can't rearrange my living room ever because there's only one way that poo poo will work right

you know i just realized this, its a little strange that some weirdo didn't buy NEC's last laserdisc fab or whatever and there's probably no way to pay somebody $995 to press a custom oneoff dubplate laserdisc

that article is extremely electronically wrong, but this in particular > The sudden demand for instantaneous current from the power supply can exceed the capacity of the power line to deliver current efficiently…” These motherfuckers are all running Class A amps with like 30% efficiency, shut uuuuuuuppppppppp it's not an instantaneous demand for 120 volts! the capacitors are (if properly sized) already just a volt or two under the peak and just taking current for a little bit! thats why we use them - they smooth out the ripples!!!! auuuugh
