Godzilla Minus One was a good movie. Not only because SFX that puts Hollywood bloat to shame, but it had an actual story. Jan 11, 2024

      MiniDSP 2xHD has max output voltage of 2VRMS. Crown XLS has input sensitivity of 0.775V or 1.4V? Which one is the correct setting?
      1. purr1n
        purr1n
        1.4V. Think of it as gain. If 1.4V doesn't give you enough gain, or 0.775 too much gain (hence noise), then use the other one.

        Thanks. It's was hissing on my speakers with the 0.775V. Noisefloor quite a bit lower with 1.4V so I stick with that.

      My Galaxy Note 4 died. Prices have gotten silly since the last time...not to mention the lack of headphone jacks.

        Essential has issues with its radios and signal. Overlooking a camera is one thing, having a phone that doesn't work, drops calls and signal is a completely different matter. I may look at essential when they come out with whatever is next but I would skip this current iteration, unless the radio issues have been resolved.

        My friend never complains of such issues. Doesn't mean they may or may not exist.

        Anyway... One plus 6 launch was just announced. Middle of May.

        Mr Mobile brought it up in his review of the phone and Ive seen it mentioned a few other times. It could have been fixed I haven't looked at phones since I got my Note 8. I am interested in the OP6, but I would like a good camera, Kids, so I will be waiting to see if its new or the same as what was in the 5T.

        and boobs... I think the battles are incredibly well done with real weight and consequence in the aftermath, yet that is not this shows allure, indeed.

        If the show were nothing but battles it would suck, but, 8 seasons of power struggling without battles seems like it would also suck and GoT does battles REALLY well I think. I like the Battles... and the Boobs.

        I wasn't a huge fan of the battle itself but the aftermath was the most triumphant moment of the series to me.

        I had one I tried out with a GO450 and a DFRED, from a Macbook AIR. It was a POS, made everything sound soft and generally worse.

        Highly likely. I am planning to test it between SMPS and Raspberry player, out of sheer curiousity. I have read quite a few reports similar to what you and Bixby have experienced, hence the reference to “dark side”.

      Atomic Blond: Did not breath for 10 minutes during the stairway fight scene. Joan Wick? Excellent soundtrack if you like late 80’s music.

        I thought a solid performance by Theron, action was great, can see why many/critics didn't like it though. Can never have enough GoG action...

      Black Panther was ok, if overhyped. Interesting characters, mediocre action. For me the best Marvel is still Winter Soldier.

        I thought Black Panther was imperfect but got a lot right. I've seen Winter Soldier probably half a dozen times and like it a little more each time. Civil War is still my winner and I have high hopes for Infinity War.

        Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen is an interesting read on this, as it relates to that premise in the USA. Don't read if harsh criticism of organized religion offends.

        The guy mentioned Audio Science Review in his comment. I went over and decided to read their ODAC review. The admin plugged his headphones into the lineout and declared it inferior.

        Pretty sure that site founder has bungled measurements repeatedly... and refused to admit it until he tries again later.

        At this point I have to assume TiM is a successful parody account to explain "NwAvGuy and his designs pass the test of time, I know of Mastering Engineers that own and use his DAC & Amp.
