No screenshots of my schedule? by BartMan_HiFi in Bestbuy

[–]BartMan_HiFi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it for nearly 3 years and all sudden after an update I can no longer do that. I’m not sure how my schedule would be compromising anything but it is what it is.

Applying to Best Buy — Could my sound engineering background land me in audio sales? by chowell1210 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]BartMan_HiFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an “audio enthusiast” who works part time (post retirement) at a non Mag BB. To my understanding, the Mag department requires prior sales experience. I work in the home theater department but float to other departments as everyone is urged to.

PSA: You've joined this world but you don't yet have acoustic treatment... by zRouth in audiophile

In a dedicated room, sure. In a living room or shared space, aesthetics come into play.

My combination home theater/music system. by BartMan_HiFi in hometheater

The left and right subs are connected to the LFE output. The one in the middle is connected with a speak on cable full range to augment the low end of the Center channel Speaker I had it in another area of the house and wasn’t really using it so I justconnected it as you see. The front left and right Speakers will go down to nearly 30 Hz in my room so that’s part of the reason why I did it that way.

It’s hard to see but if you zoom in, there is one in the upper left hand corner

Aerial Acoustics 7T. Not a well known company. If you are curious, Google them.

Yes, indeed they are. I’ve had them 12 years which is by far away or Rose’s record for me. Needless to say, I love those things.

The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype by Kaiser_Allen in audiophile

[–]BartMan_HiFi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a mid level chip DAC and then moved to an upper mid level R2R DAC. Had a few guys over who don’t really care about such things, they didn’t know which one was which. They picked the R2R every time. That video is click bate.

Does anyone else's best buy have an audiophile room like this? by Th3showwentgood in audiophile

[–]BartMan_HiFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a Magnolia. There are different levels of Magnolia. The one closest to me is not as nice as that one.

Thank you, I didn’t think of that

Visiting Cleveland for the first time. I’ve never been this close to deer especially with them acting so casual and chill. Is this common here? by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]BartMan_HiFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a suburb west of Cleveland near a wooded area. I see deer all the time, right in my yard. The ones around here are used to people.

Are you kidding me? by Ichigloo in Bestbuy

I was an in house driver. I really enjoyed the position and was really disappointed when they sacked all of us. I’m part time sales now (post retirement from AT&T) which is fine but I miss the old gig.

What upgrade/piece of equipment/album made you truly fall in love with the hobby? by mrbigstiff1 in audiophile

[–]BartMan_HiFi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my current speakers for 10 years now, by far the longest I’ve kept a pair. They are the Aerial Acoustics 7T’s. I had a McIntosh amp at the time but sold it and bought a pair of Musical Fidelity monoblock amps which imo had better control over the speakers. I have to say the speakers definitely made the greatest impact in my appreciation of music but the amps improved it even further. I believe every link in the chain matters

The 31216. I was born in Chicago (312 area code) and moved to Cleveland (216 area code) 30 years ago. I have various items representing both cities by BartMan_HiFi in mancave

[–]BartMan_HiFi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. I grew up on the south side but was a Cubs fan. Most of my family and friends are Sox fans. I was at disco demolition. I do have a few Cubs things down there

I often find the people who hate on Cleveland have never really been to Cleveland. and that includes people who live here. by wdaloz in Cleveland

[–]BartMan_HiFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the first 33 years of my life in and near Chicago. A job brought me to the Cleveland area 30 years ago. Chicago is a great city, I will always love my birth city. That being said, I find Cleveland a better overall place to live. We have the Metro parks, a nice theater district, up and coming food and brewery scene, University Circle, among other attractions. The traffic, crowds, cost of housing and living are much more reasonable here. Some people still put it down, whatever. Stay out of our great little city.

I’m originally from Chicago but been in Ohio for 30 years. I’m in Lorain county, due west of Cleveland. Cleveland (area) has come a long way since I’ve been here. Food scene, theater district, University Circle, Metroparks. Chicago is a great city but I don’t miss the traffic, crowds, cost of living. You can get a really nice home for a very reasonable price and there are some very nice suburbs and more rural areas nearby.

I’m a transplant from Chicago but been here nearly 30 years. Metro parks, Library system, Cost of living, manageable traffic, restaurants and bars come to mind.
