    Cutting the Cord?

    Never mind - the CBS All Access stream looks like shit as well. Last night, b-ball on TNT looked great through Hulu including when they showed highlights from the game airing on CBS. I have no idea what’s going on but this sucks...

    Cutting the Cord?

    I noticed this during Chiefs games and the NCAA tournament has confirmed - CBS looks a lot worse than every other station through Hulu w/ Live TV. I wonder if CBS is intentionally degrading their stream to push people to All Access.

    What Are You Listening To?

    Maybe. I just did a google search for their most popular songs and nothing jumped out at me as something I've heard but their song titles seem pretty out there so who knows (perhaps Cat Food is one of many songs I love but can never remember the name of). About 15 years ago I really, really...

    What Are You Listening To?

    Both of them? (I assume if I didn’t say it @Towen7 would...)

    Cutting the Cord?

    Amazon Prime video Hulu w/ Live TV YouTube (free only) We have an antenna for our living room TV but the stupid thing doesn't pick up CBS even though the tower is just a couple miles away. I only care because of sports, mainly KC Chiefs games...

    What are you watching via streaming?

    We just watched season 1 of Stranger Things for the first time. Wow! I’m guessing we’ll check off season two here shortly.

    Incredible Covers...

    That’s very interesting as I always focused on compression artifacts and not how compression might affect the rest of the mix. I now feel like I’m in an “ignorance is bliss” situation.

    Incredible Covers...

    So you have both versions on CD?

    Incredible Covers...

    I'm always taken aback a little when I play Weezer's Rosanna on YouTube as it sounds fuller than I expect. The vocals are complete crap but the drums especially seem on point. I also don't notice any obvious compression artifacts (again, ignoring vocals) - it's not like listening to Sirius/XM...

    Incredible Covers...

    If you can, play their cover of Rosanna on your main speakers and try to ignore the vocals; I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the instrumentation, at least at the beginning of the song. Of course I can't fucking tell when I'm listening to a distorted DAC so it probably sounds like shit...

    Incredible Covers...

    It'll be interesting to see how many of those songs they'll play in concert - we already have our tix for their show with the Pixies in late March.

    Ported vs sealed Sub, What's your preference?

    I've met Jeff a couple of times - you should go the next time you get the chance.

    Ported vs sealed Sub, What's your preference?

    That's a pretty accurate assessment. I've been to several of their HTs and the bass is way, way over-the-top.

    Ported vs sealed Sub, What's your preference?

    A few years back some AVS Forum members from around these parts had themselves a little Blind Subwoofer Shootout featuring four sealed subwoofers, two ported, and 1 horn-loaded. More info in the first post here...
