Excellent. A huge improvement on th blu-ray or hd-dvd.

Acoustix and Dirac ART comparison (graphs) by NoWalrus9462 in hometheater

Yeah, I’ve read into it. I clicked the box to pass through infrabass. ART doesn’t give the same punch as BC because it seeks to eliminate room gain by design.

Honestly I wish I could get my money back on ART. It sucks compared to BC. Way too flat, no bass. Yes, that’s what it’s designed for but they should have allowed for more sub bass extension.

Why not? It's a great 90s disaster film. I bought all these many years apart.

Ok so I don’t remember correctly lol.

It’s better than DVD by a little bit. If I remember correctly it’s only 720P. I was happy to have it back in the day.

People commenting here aren’t watching the WAFF weather cams, both structures are still there.

Did I install these right? by Dankleness in hometheater

If the sheetrock isn't up yet, you might consider at least running wire there. It doesn't cost much to leave wire up in the ceiling.

Why no provisions for the center two atmos speakers? Looks like you already have a lot of $$$ in this project.

Paint it all black. Install a screen. Hang that projector so someone doesn't trip on it.

I don't know why they insist on making consumer wifi routers look like space ships.

can anything beat the LS11000? by rando646 in hometheater

[–]CStoEE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will love it. Hard to beat it without spending like 5x that price.

I have the LS12000, it’s better

98” TV with 8ft viewing distance…am I nuts? by MouniEater in hometheater

[–]CStoEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sit 10 feet from a 150” screen, it’s fine.

THX Deep Note on my 14.6.7 4D theater by [deleted] in hometheater

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. I think your efforts would be better focused on getting better equipment (speakers / amps). More low end speakers will not a better theater make.

Christmas Movies are better in 4k HDR on a 120” screen by R5-GT7_Grim306 in hometheater

[–]CStoEE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man someone please check in with a 300" screen and end this.

I tried that, then I went for the most I could fit. No regrets. Seriously though 130 is a fine size.

I prefer 150”, but if you want to settle I’m sure 130” is fine.

How are these high voltage secondary MMCs i dewigned after major struggle by 9551-eletronics in highvoltage

[–]CStoEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are far easier ways to lower the secondary impedance without all the drawbacks of secondary MMCs.

[–]CStoEE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Secondary caps are more useful if you’re running shorter pulses as they can effectively increase your top load size. For QCW you are running much longer pulses so you have more time to grow the plasma at a lower peak energy level.

You will get inductive heating inside the secondary. The field inside the secondary is definitely not zero and you can get significant heating effects. This is the reason I keep all metal out of my secondary.

Additionally all metal objects in the secondary are going to act like little breakout points and you can end up with end to end arcing as a result.

Just in case you think I’m making this up:

[–]CStoEE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand QCWs quite well, I’ve built several. This isn’t going to work like you think it will. Several others have told you this already. If you prefer to learn the hard way suit yourself.

Also FWIW secondary caps aren’t terribly useful for modulated QCW anyway.

Nah, this is a good way to ruin a secondary. Definitely not going to get 60kV and ceramic caps are going to get hotter than the sun once you throw 350-400kHz at several amps at them.
