I believe it is the 2023 version, which is probably why they knocked $500 off. I'm sure the 2024 is incrementally better, but I'm happy with what I have. $1200 isn't much of a budget for a 75" TV, so I'm just thrilled that it looks a bit better than the very expensive set it replaced.

This one is a lot lighter than the one it replaced. It is not very heavy, but it is big enough that you need two people to hang it. It was easier in my case, because I was replacing a TV of comparable size. All we had to do was take the old one down, move the mounting bracket to the new TV, and...

Is this TV perfect? No. Is it on-par with flagship sets for double the price? Of course not. Can I get the big silly grin off my face over how good this thing looks for what I paid for it? Nope. The other thing I will say is that the performance gap between the mid-range sets and the flagships...

My much loved 2015 Sony XBRX940C died a sudden and unexpected death and I needed a new TV. The timing was terrible, because I just spent a bloody fortune on my shop, roof, solar, etc. That meant I had to look for something at a lower price point than I otherwise might have. After doing a bunch...

That looks awesome.

I was really annoyed when Amazon started playing ads with the option to pay extra to get rid of them. Aren't I already paying enough for Prime? Everyone has their bloody hand out. I pay for YouTube Premium because we watch a ton of YouTube, but the price has gone up to something like $23/mo...

Back when I had young children, I used velcro.

I LOVE Mark Rober. He's a national treasure. Getting those scam Indian call centers shut down was incredible. As for the stuff in San Francisco, I doubt the local government or police will do anything about it. They have already demonstrated repeatedly that virtue signaling is more important...

Commercials? I don't see no stinking commercials. YouTube Premium to the rescue. It is expensive, but totally worth it if you watch a lot of YouTube.

I want to build new speakers for my next big upgrade, but I need more experience designing and building smaller, cheaper stuff first. I figure I'll do it in a few more years.

I haven't changed a thing since 2016.

The Mii is just a Bluetooth receiver and doesn't pretend to be anything more. I can say one thing. It is a serious signal grabber. My phone connects every time I walk into the house and it won't take no for an answer. The range on the thing is insane. I've never had a stronger Bluetooth connection.

If you just want Bluetooth, there are a ton of cheap options that work fine. I use this one in my main system: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J3GTRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I also have one of these...

It isn't Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza.

Yeah. I discovered I had a bad line-out for one of my surround channels and had to move my surrounds from my amp to my receiver. I also have one bad channel on my amp. I'm probably going to have to fix the latter. The former isn't that important and can wait until the next system refresh.

This has NOTHING on the unbeatable value of Soundhound Piss.

I've been listening to Extreme's new album a lot lately and really like it a lot. Lisa and I also went to see them a couple months ago. Great show. Nuno is definitely one of the best rock guitarists out there right now and the solo in this track is insane.

With the advent of lossless and high-resolution audio streaming, I don't bother buying CDs anymore. I picked up a bunch of used discs for cheap on eBay awhile back to fill some holes, but then I started to wonder why. I think I'm done, unless it is someone I can't get on Amazon Music or YouTube...

I've got a cheap little $15 Chinese digital amp that I bought for the garage. It is amazing how decent these things are, considering what they cost. I also own three amps made by Fosi that I absolutely love. They are definitely more expensive and overkill for Flint's application (I'd have done...
