    Ceiling Clouds (For Tom treitz3 and others)

    This project was completed in mid 2022 but seemed relevant to this thread... After adding Atmos overhead channels to our dual duty stereo & multi-channel big rig 2 years ago, I eventually decided to address the primary ceiling reflections of both the bed surrounds and the new rear Atmos...

    VINDICATION! Subwoofer Leading Edge Transients and John Hunter of REL’s YouTube video on setting up a REL “Six-Pack”

    All subwoofers in a "swarm" or DBA (distributed bass array) are fed a .1 summed low frequency signal.

    Any cyclists here?

    Yup that first month post-op really sucks! The doc explained it as you having functionally had an amputation insofar as the bones and the trauma to the surrounding tissue goes. By the 6th month the day-to-day discomfort is gone. The absence of the gnawing arthritis pain and limp associated...

    Any cyclists here?

    At 44 years old I had a total knee replacement of my left knee. At the time both the ortho and the in-theater consultant from Stryker (manufacturer of the replacement knee) described my grotesquely arthritic knee as among the very worst they'd seen. The knee replacement was the seventh surgery...

    Any cyclists here?

    At 58 and still with a penchant for very technical trail riding, falling down holds decidedly less appeal these days. I equip myself with the best tools for the job these days in order to minimize the risk and likelihood of falls, while still doing the same sort of MTB riding I was doing 25...

    I edited my earlier reply to clarify my thoughts on your post @rando.

    ???? A good bicycle snow tire has tall sharply defined tread blocks, a self cleaning tread pattern, and the largest casing your frame will allow to ensure a healthy footprint. If the paths you intend to ride are icy, a carbide studded version of the same is ideal. And you definitely want these...

    Where Do You Place Your Equipment Stands?

    Along the right hand side wall on a long, low custom rack about 8" off the wall. The turntable is on a "fancy-pants" wall mount shelf attached to a weight-bearing wall just above the one end of the gear rack adjacent the seating. The loaded rack weighs in the vicinity of 700 lbs but I used...

    ATC active pro speakers?

    Between my LP, CD, SACD, and DVD-A physical media collections I already own sufficient dead or dying formats!

    The Gray Man

    If you've read Mark Greaney's excellent Gray Man series of books, you are apt to find this movie disappointing. The movie seemed only vestigially related to the books and misses out on most everything that makes the novels so compelling. Here is hoping the TV series adaptation that is reportedly...

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    Updated my Oracle Delphi V/VI Reference recently. The frustratingly unreliable (and fiddly to rebuild) cuing mechanism on my SME V failed for the 3rd time in a decade. So before shipping the SME V out for yet another cuing rebuild, I bought a mint 2nd hand example of the Graham Phantom Supreme...
