Re: Is Klipsch going down hill? - 19 days ago

I still have my 1990 Forte II's I bought shortly after college graduation. I still have them, they still sound great, and they aren't going anywhere. I even use them in my 4.0 home theater (don't really need a subwoofer with these guys) with a pair of KG1.2 as surrounds. As I am getting up there I can hear the voices of movies so much better with those tractrix horn's than any other of my TV s

Re: High Wind Warning NYC area Xmas Eve into Christmas (6pm-10am) - 24 days ago

The high winds just went through MN yesterday. So high my neighbors large pine tree snapped off at the base and fell across his driveway landed on his truck and fence as well as putting holes in his garage. It also snapped both our phone lines (mine unused) and my cable internet line. Then today my 2017 27" iMac 4.2 GHz i7 bit the dust. Tried to run disk utility from time machine backu

Re: Any audiophile-ish folks with HomePods? What's your opinion? - 4 weeks ago

I have a pair of them and my first impression was that the sound was much bigger than expected for their size. They don't come close to my Klipsch Forte II's but they give good sound for the space they take up. I finally created a stereo pair and made them the default audio out for my Apple TV 4K. Much better sound than a flat panel TV speaker. I also like the portability aspect as I would

I use command shift 5 and it gives me the menu options you are showing. I do this because I often switch from desktop to clipboard depending what I am doing with the capture. I'm in Mojave.

Re: HomePod, anyone? - 7 weeks ago

Just setup a stereo pair to default connect to my Apple TV.....only to find out it only works with the Apple TV 4K and not the AppleTV HD, so just had to spring for a 4K. The sound of the HomePods is really good for their size.

Re: Help comparing the Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 in my trashcan with M1 Mini numbers - 2 months ago

QuoteGGD During the presentation one of their animations seemed to show the DRAM to be part of the M1 chip, but the transistor count of 16 Billion seems way too low for 8GB or 16GB of RAM, that's 64 Billion or 128 Billion bits/transistors by itself. So, I'm pretty sure that DRAM and Flash are external chips. You are thinking 6T SRAM cells but DRAM has 1 transistor per cell, but it is still ~

Re: Does your carpet match your drapes? - 2 months ago

Quoted4 Mine are mismatched. But I have white cabinets so the white dishwasher kinda blends in with the white cabinets and does not look like a mistake near the stainless stove, stainless fridge. We are in the same boat with the addition of a stainless microwave over the stove. That and our white dishwasher is on the other side of the sink so we think it looks better blending into the white ca

Re: boots - 2 months ago

QuoteDennis S My brother bought some Timberlands at Academy he said are the most comfortable boots he's ever had, and he's had lots. I don't think the quality is top class but they're pretty good. Agree 100%. I am on my 4th pair of these and they work great on my Goldwing, as well as everyday use. i like the mesh sides as they are a little cooler than the full leather version.
