This is a little tangential, but… One of the biggest things I remember Flint saying way back when is that a measure of the quality of an audio system is the emotional impact playback brings to you. I’m going back to some of my standard evaluation playlists, and this stuff still sounds kind of...

Another plus here is that I dusted/cleaned under components that also haven’t been moved in 10+ years… yikes :rofl:

Next step will be to see if there's any possibility of reprogramming my also-ancient Harmony 650 for this new unit. I think the software's still out there and being maintained (independently of logitech?), so we'll see.

So the unit came a week ago, and I'm further embarrassed to say I just got it installed today. So far all it's working well, I did a manual-by-ear tune up and it sounds just fine. I need to break out my old RTA and measurement mic stuff to do a bit more sophisticated job of it, but I'm out of...

Ok, pulled the trigger on the Marantz refurb, came with free 5 yr extended warranty, so good enough for me.

Thanks. For right now, the refurb Marantz at half the price of that Denon is more realistic for me. Honestly, I don't do critical listening in my HT anymore, it's only used for netflix and video games. My more critical listening is done with headphones. But I don't want to have to buy new...

Actually that looks pretty decent, I don't mind a refurb for that $$ savings. I only need 5.1 channel pre-outs. I only have two rear surrounds, and no atmos.

Well, my ancient old Onkyo 885 seems like it's about to fail, or maybe already has. I had to power cycle several times last night to get the HDMI connection to work for any of my various sources. And this morning I can't get it to work at all, just says "no signal." I don't need anything fancy...

OMG this is an awesome show, in my very humble opinion.

Ugh, sorry.

Wow that's wild that a single building, even a big one like that with its special purpose, could make such a huge difference.

Yikes, hope you're ok.

Wow that's crazy. Seriously looks like a movie CGI effect.

No problem. Apparently in the original BBT, it was mentioned that Sheldon's dad died when he was 14, shortly before his move to Caltech. So I guess this shouldn't have come as any surprise, but I'd forgotten that detail.

Dude, spoiler alerts! (although I had come across that tidbit on FB already...)

Finished the show, very good although This was never my favorite game series, but now I'm tempted to go back and play Fallout 4 or something. I don't think the "big picture" from the show has anything to do with the games' plot, but I could certainly be wrong, I really don't remember any...

Really? Ok wow, I forgot that. Maybe they were just a generic class of enemy, rather than specific important NPCs...

Watched about half of it, enjoying it so far. Pretty gruesome, a little more "raw" in feel than the games, IMHO. At least the ones I played, which is only a subset - Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. Yeah I don't think the plot of this show is directly following any of those games. But it's a great...

Yeah I need to watch this. On my list!

Ha, I still only have a 4-channel system in my HT, despite having a center channel speaker (Flint's old original MTMs). I just didn't have room in my small HT for the center channel speaker, and I haven't really missed it. I sit mostly in the center of the room anyway, we don't often have...
