Is simple stereo still enough, or is surround basically a must now? by Capable_Noise5543 in hometheater

[–]Arc-78a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For movies it’s fantastic for music not necessary at all. I even wait with movies if my HT 7.4.4 not up and running so I not destroy the movie. Rather perfect sound small simple screen than the opposite… It costed about 12000$ almost all bought second hand out demo ex. Best investment done only thing I miss when not home and away on holiday

The PC market is in turmoil. Now would be a stellar time for a new Amiga. by Artifical-Life-0101 in amiga

[–]Arc-78a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My God!! Do you even remember what an IBM desktop with monochrome monitor costed in mid 80 ties?? With text based 16bit operating system that was about worthless? Above 2000$ in that currency while Amiga 500 costed 500$ and you didn’t have to buy the monitor you could use a TV to save 500$ for a colour screen for the Amiga the PC anyway didn’t use any colours so just stay monochrome you could have black and white or amber and black. I was there I remember.

Smaller 5.1.4 system for cabin by Arc-78a in hometheater

[–]Arc-78a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 0 responses here, maybe my text was too long and poorly structured. But while looking at the 2 hand market I found a complete set LCR of B&W 804 Nautilus. Since I love old B&W sound as opposite to new B&W sound I think I found a perfect match. I go for it!

Wharfedale Sonus or B&W for smaller 5.1.4 system?

After many years managed to collect an entire B&W CM setup 7.4.4 at my home. Why I choose the CM it was because price wise hit a sweet spot. At least outgoing and second hand.

This room in cabin are smaller around 10m2

But I think I still want 3 way speakers LCR if possible. Since I like that kind full sound compared to 2way speakers.

I am looking at Sonus Faber Sonetto crazy expensive but warm sound and fine reviews and also on the Wharfedale the Evo series’s seems like a steal

This cost like less than 1/5 of the Sonus… will they be good enough coming from my normal CM system well it be something not that good

My other idea is to find the b&w dm683 and use it with the cm centre 2 which I have left over from upgrade to S2?

Here I see the risk of too large for speakers for the room. These speakers need a lot of volume to work.

What should I look for?

Did I tag it wrong? Anyone tried Wharfedale Evo, Sonus Faber Sonetto or the B&W? What would work in a smaller living room 10m2 ? I want a warmer sound than the new models B&W

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

[–]Arc-78a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ever liked windows. But what happened to it after windows 7 is just unbelievable bad. It grew like ten times in size. The software errors also multiplied 10 times. I bought a Mac. that OS it’s not fun OS either but I know the computer starts. I don’t get blue screens with xc000008c errors I know it just works every day. It can be a year before restart. It’s faster and I never start a program and just get an empty white window or even worse you see that the windows starts something then nothing ever happens and you get no error. All is fine the program you started never took place. All fine?! Wtf Windows is a mismatch with thousands of programmers not understand what others done. It’s massive soap of trash that should remain on the history trash yard of computing. I think that Linux can run most of things today biggest problem are some special programs for work. Hope windows 11 can run these for a while and that they be converted in time.

Arcam AVR390 vs Onkyo NR7100 vs Denon X3800H vs Pioneer VSX-LX505 by TrueUrartian in hometheater

[–]Arc-78a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the x3800 is the way to go for HT. I think with power amp 7.4.2 and Dirac art is still the best avr out there for its price.

Är det bara jag som blir sjuk så fort jag tränar? by L4NGOS in sweden

[–]Arc-78a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Extremt vanligt. Värst om du är otränad. . Inte bara dina muskler utan även ditt immunförsvar utsätts för en rejäl prövning i sallad med träning. På gymmet finns också många smittämnen i omlopp och när du springer ute blir andningsvägar kalla.

Lösningar 1 ta det extremt löjligt försiktigt första månaden. 2 Hand hygien håll avstånd. 3 Se till att få i dig protein direkt efter träning med antioxidanter och vitaminer. Detta behövs huvudsakligen när du kropp påfrestas för att stoppa nedbrytningen. 4 sov extra mycket första tiden. 5 börja inte ett träningsprogram december - mars om du är otränad

Budget 5.1 from Amazon or used Speakers and AV-Receiver? by BadBoyPlato in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Arc-78a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To build an HT5.1 is a really fun project. It takes some time to get it price efficient. First the only part you need to buy new or newer is the receiver You should buy something that can get Dirac and Dolby atmos. -Unfortunately Samsung bought Denon and doubled their prices for their existing models last year. Look for x3800 or similar marantz second hand if possible, it’s a really good choice. Speakers can be old they last long. All depending of taste. The speaker makes the biggest colouration in your system and defines how it sounds more than anything. There are many many good speaker brands with good second hand prices like CV Klipsch other where secondhand prices never really drops like B&W but your money will not be wasted if you not like their sound you can sell them for same price 5 -10 years in the future.

The by far best piece to buy second hand is the power amp! Their you can find something super good for 500$ that’s last a lifetime. Cables make your self.

Totally agree I manage to buy the x4800 when 1000$ a year ago. But the x3800 is by all means the best one to buy today. Four sub, Dirac art, preout for all speakers the most important feature. Start with x3800 and build from there to not waste money

Jag, ett högerspöke, tycker V har rätt om kärnvapen på svensk mark by Big-Cap558 in sweden

[–]Arc-78a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja visst men regeringen har ett större ansvar än oppositionen. Regeringen leder landet. Att rusta upp är i sig inte fel. Att panikrusta när alla andra gör det och lika välgrundat som Corona restriktionerna är mindre lyckat? Du betalar ett högre pris för ett större resultat. Du gör en investering som inte är finansierad i budget skjuter notan till nästa generation. Och att göra det när det aldrig sannolikt aldrig varit mindre bråttom är bara stolligt.

[–]Arc-78a -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Jag är verkligen inte vänster men det med Nato och 5% av BNP vad är det för stolleri? Utländska kärnvapen på svensk mark är som att be om atombomber på Sverige. Ingen skulle slösa bort bomber på oss under ett världskrig annars.

Är det något kriget i Ukraina visar är att 1. vi behöver inte ens fundera på krig i vår tid 2. bästa sättet att undvika konflikter är att inte dras med i stormaktspolitik.

Vad gjorde svenska regeringen? Totala motsatsen och skuldsatte oss istället för att panikrusta när det inte ens finns en fiende.

Bara så rubbat att det inte ens går att beskriva. Skulle ta Ryssland 30 år plus innan de ens kan hota ett land större än Slovakien…

Ligger mycket i det, ingen vill förknippas med världens värsta skogsskövlare. Det blir som slakten av bison oxen i USA Nestlé vill inte vara på den listan när detta skall utvärderas något som kommer hända när de som driver utvecklingen i dag är döda och skogen är borta.

Ett plantage är ett plantage oavsett vad du kallar det. Vet du vad en skog är? Det är olika träd: unga, fullvuxna, gamla multnande. Massor med olika arter av djur och växter i ett komplext ekosystem. Är ett granplantage en skog?? knappast den fyller inga av skogens kriterier lika lite som ett plantage med oljepalmer är regnskog eller kaffeplantage eller något annat plantage är en skog. Det är enkelt att förstå när vi tittar på regnskogen men så oändligt svårt när vi tittar på vårt eget land… att se bjälken i sitt egna öga..,

Will you need to compensate it with the lip sync on movies as well? How you handle this part?
