Is it just me or is the UI terrible? My parents got a new (Samsung) TV so I was helping them finish setting it up. I feel like I have to dig through 3 layers to get to the real settings are and then there are 2 or 3 different places you can find different settings. Initially I found where to...

Any recommendations, what tech is worth it and not, what brands to look at? Should we just buy the most expensive Zojirushi we can? Are the better features/tech even worth it or will any of them cook rice well enough? Their 'best' one at $750 is too expensive if some of their models at about...

I was fortunate enough to be able to go, for the fist time. What an amazing show! Unfortunately I was quite busy with work and had virtually zero time for audio or other person hobbies/interest. If you were able to go, or even just follow along in the news, what looked interesting? Afterwards...

I've been working in the automotive field in legacy/traditional companies for about 17 years in the R&D area, a vast majority of my career; roughly half at a Tier 1 and half at an OEM. I'm strongly considering moving over to an AD or EV startup, likely middle to late stage. Anyone here work in...

Anyone know why there aren't, or at least from a quick look don't seem to be, any EQs preloaded into Wavelet (global eq app for Android) for speakers? It seems like it's purpose or original concept was for headphones, but that shouldn't preclude speaker EQ profiles. Yeah, I can make or load...

I'm sure some others here must also ski/board. Where have you been? Where did you like and why? I've been itching to travel more during the winter, would love some ideas!

I can only imagine having something like this happen is like losing a small part of oneself. This is the first car he ever owned, had it for 14 years and poured a ton of time into it to make it perfect. Please keep an eye out!

Does such a beast exist? For reasonable prices? I know reasonable is subjective but I don't see why something like this should cost $1k when you can get a headphone amp with way more than enough power for a few hundred. But maybe I'm being naïve. More than ample power is good, but I don't...

Think guilt pleasure not actually good but you enjoy them, or were just all out bad. Worst: Iron Sky. I thought I was going to watch Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow, which I expected to be at best a bad movie maybe guilt pleasure. But what I got was so much worse. From what I remember...

I'm open to any suggestions. Though overall layout and I imagine even bed speaker layer placement is probably pretty fixed given the base room situation; openings, windows, etc. I'm planning to do all in-walls for bed layer and in-ceilings for top layer. Especially I'm unsure about best layout...

My dad is finally giving up on his not so trusty 40 year old integrated Technics SA-800A, so I'm looking for some recommendations. He primarily listens to CDs via their Blu-Ray player. They do some streaming and I'm guessing this will increase since they were just able to get broadband and no...

I'm looking for some decent speakers for the garage. My feeling is I would be happy with something in the $200-$400 range. Powered seems ideal to keep it simple and out of the way. I've got a ton of stuff in my garage well organized, but shelf and wall space is at a premium. I get a new tool...

What products work well for general sound proofing/deadening inside of walls/ceilings/floor? Specifically for flooring or between floors? We ripped out the carpet in our 2nd floor bedroom and we are installing new subfloor for hardwood (engineered or other) floors in our 2nd floor bedroom...

What are some of your favorite movies that has music as an integral part of the movie? So integral that is almost, or is a MacGuffin. I guess it doesn't have to get to MacGuffin level for it to be a great addition to the movie and well integrated. A movie that immediately comes to mind for me...

What kind of system do you use? Centralized or decentralized e.g. receiver with zones or some kind of streaming device out at each location? Which ecosystems have you tried and liked e.g. Sonos, Amazon/Alexa, Google (assistant), Heos (Denon), Musicast (yamaha), etc? At each location, what does...

I'm curious to see what level people are going to with their secondary, tertiary... setups. If you have anything to listen to music in your garage or workshop, what do you use? Some previous re purposed hifi level system, garage sale level stuff, Bluetooth speakers, homemade horn made from an...

I'm debating a restart VS tweak and would love to hear anyone thoughts. I would appreciate any guidance or wisdom. As an aside, I am on an overseas assignment for about another 6 months, about an hour north of Tokyo. So, I feel I have a pretty unique opportunity to listen to many speakers...
