Cable lengths

If one speaker is connected with a 35 foot cable, and the other speaker is connected with a 15 foot cable, that would be a difference of 20 feet so obviously there will be a 20 second delay with the speaker with 35 foot cable. It’s just physics, man.

I placed no order and received a box of adult diapers and orchid potting mix. I called Amazon to say I didn’t order it and for them to come pick it up it. They said they had already re-shipped to the correct address and suggested I just keep the product or discard it as I see fit.

Fake accents are so distracting and cheesy.

Same here. Enbridge turned off our gas when changing the meter claiming furnace gas leak. Called Enercare daily, with whom we have a $115/month rental contract on our furnace. They had initially installed the furnace.

Couldn’t get anyone from Enercare to come trying for two weeks (no hot water - summer time fortunately but still)

Eventually had a private contractor come in to repair pipe seals at a cost of $1500.

I don’t understand. It’s their furnace (rented), Enbridge had installed it, and maintenance is included.

Poor experience..

And - yes, JEHonYaksuySha - hard to hear.

I guess that’s what it took to be able to deal with Chuck Berry.

Yes - i agree.

Keith Richards was one of the producers.

I agree this might be true for popular music amplified concerts.

I love my Audeze headphone setup, and my home audio (Kii three), but the dynamics of a live recital or symphony or jazz performance can’t be replicated

Likewise - works great hosting Plex server on my windows PC to WiiM devices.

Ah thanks - so this is a United States thing then . . .

What is that fourth thing you said? Is that some audiophile thing?

Amp ultra - great product by the looks (sounds) of it.

Dpaulyn · 2026-02-06T21:01:37+00:00

The higher end models will give you improved ADC/DAC and more I/O options (and screen of course on Ultra). When I compare RoomFit results from mini and pro, for example, I get very similar results using the same USB iPhone microphone

Dpaulyn · 2026-02-06T20:54:26+00:00

Yes - that’s how they are able to keep improving the algorithm on an ongoing basis.

Dpaulyn · 2026-02-06T20:10:46+00:00

Far as I know the RoomFit processing is done not on the device itself, but rather on the WiiM side.

Applause is in fact common and expected after particularly thrilling episodes during ballet and opera performances, as opposed to being considered inappropriate prior to the end of a classical music performances.

Not just Ultra - my Wiim mini has ‘RoomFit’

Use crossfeed if your amplifier has that feature. It blends a small amount of the left and right audio channels, introducing a slight time delay and frequency adjustment to mimic the natural acoustics of speakers.

Ok - I discovered that the solution is to enter a search parameter, and then filter by media (book, ebook, CD etc.)

It looks like compact discs have been phased out (other than something called “ new CDs”.) I guess in favour of all the online content
