I saw an ad for this on YT while watching some space stuff with my oldest son. Seems pretty cool, so I looked at it on Amazon. This seems pretty close to the long dead Squeezebox many of us here still enjoy, but at a steeper price. Has anyone seen or own one? How does it compare to other...

Anyone here like this band? I do. What impresses me is how technical they can be for a typical 3-5 minute song. For those who don't know them, they are a prog rock band and if you like Prog Rock, they are highly recommended. What's funny is Derek Shulman (lead singer of GG) kinda hates the...

I have a Roku 2 in the bedroom and a 3 in the living room. I see now along with the 4 there are the Stick, Ultra, and others some with HDR and "MIMO", so in sets my confusion. I think I understand what HDR is after seeing a thread on it by Zing in this same section but what the heck is MIMO...

I got Fair Warning in the mail today. Looked it over, and I don't think it's the remastered edition, even though the Amazon listing said it was. Matter of fact, it's not. My other VH remasters (from 2000, I believe) have gold colored discs with "Warner Remasters" on them and also on the CD case...

Seems there's more and more box sets turning up. Is this a sign of some of us getting old or is it more downloaded purchases are driving down the cost of purchasing hard media?? Back in the 90s, I remember walking into a store and seeing all these extravagant box sets on display, behind the...

I really didn't know which section to put this in as it pertains to a complete system. A friend of mine at work is looking to get an RV. He wants to have a system set in place to where he can listen to music while his wife is watching TV and/or be able to listen to headphones at the same time...

As some of you may know, I've become a huge fan of Peter King. He's an afrobeat/jazz multi-instrumentalist from Nigeria. First time I heard him was on a track called "African Dialects" from an afrobeat comp CD my brother had. The guy has about, from what I've gathered, 14 albums in his career...

A friend told me about this sight, but my antivirus doesn't seem to like it. I know of HDtracks, so thought I would ask about this one. Been listening to a Umphrey's McGee album on there (the London Session) that sounds pretty cool, and thinking about downloading since the flac tracks are only...

I have a 3 in the living room and the 2 in the bedroom. The wife uses the 2 more than me, so I can't comment on it but it was a pretty solid unit when we had it in the living room. The 3 however has been a bit more finicky and it's been mainly with Netflix. Sometimes I can't watch anything on...

Just got offliine with a Dish rep. I originally got on there to see why I wasn't getting the SEC Network, so after I got that took care of, I asked again about upgrading to the Hopper. You see, the last time I asked, it was going to cost me around $200 extra while the new comers get it for free...

...........I freaking love this tune. Probably my favorite by him. I love The Who, but Pete's my fav from the band. I have the Sadler's Wells concert from when this was recorded, plus the Westwood One radio broadcast of this show (FM quality). The whole Lifehouse show he did in 1999 is worth...

I bought this compact receiver a few minutes ago. Here's a video from Teac's website about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms6H0T0vm_E For under $250, I think it's going to have all the right things for a nice little setup for outside. I have the Denon 3803, but that thing's freaking...

Some of you all know how much I love Pomplamoose. I love how 'big' they sound for just a duet. Well, this music video showcases how much they can do for what little they have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7X8ZnmLfM0 Pretty catchy tune too!

Nope, not the movie, but the band. Discovered these guys thanks to my younger brother. They remind me of The Church. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u915926CiM

I was looking around Crutchfield and saw this....... link I have no need for this player with all the Squeezeboxes I have (just added a Transporter downstairs), but looks like a pretty good player for the money. One of the features it has is the ability to upconvert incoming data to...

I just scored on 15 CDs for under $18. All but one came from the same seller. I've bought many discs from him in the past, so he's become a reliable source. Most discs are jazz, but still a hell of a deal imo. Me happy! :banana-dance: :banana-rock:

What are the benefits of a network ready a/v receiver (or pre/pro) besides a direct way to keep the firmware updated? Can you stream music straight to it? If so, how does it compare to a Squeezebox or similar item? For those that have them, how is the metadata displayed? Navigating a music...

I know a while back I was asking about smart TVs and the replies I got seemed to suggest getting a "vanilla" TV with the best picture for the money and add a Roku. Well, I don't have the TV yet, but do have the Roku and love it compared to accessing the same apps as my LG Bluray player. The...

Got a Roku a few days ago and finally got it up and running. What other channels are worth considering besides Netflix? I've added a few (free) channels, but was wondering about some others. I currently have Crackle, SEC Digital Network, SyFy, to name a few. I haven't really ventured outside of...

Anyone watch this show on SYFY? I'm kinda surprised this show wasn't mentioned before considering this hobby of ours.
