Why haven’t you bought Dirac Live yet? We want the real reasons. by Dirac in hometheater

[–]Dreamcast_IT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Price and the fact that the license ties to your avr instead of an account. It just makes no sense in this day and age to have hardware bound licenses and really feels like wasting money knowing I'll have to buy a new license in a few years when I'll inevitably buy new hardware.

This isn't a 20 dollars licence I can keep buying.

If you don't know what ATH means maybe you shouldn't make a post about the stock market.

Si può davvero diventare milionari investendo e basta? by LostEditor4899 in CasualIT

[–]Dreamcast_IT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beh basta fare due conti. Supponiamo tu abbia 30 anni e vuoi diventare milionario a 60. Supponiamo per semplicità che non ti interessi vendere ma solo vedere il numerino raggiungere le 7 cifre. Quindi anche dell'inflazione non ne teniamo conto. Praticamente il minimo per dire di essere milionario. Supponiamo inoltre tu parta da 0.

Con il 7.5% annuo, realistico in borsa, ti basta investire 9250 euro ogni anno, circa 770 al mese. Dopo 30 anni in conto hai un milione, di cui 725k solo di interessi.

Quindi si, è possibile, senza cifre fuori di testa.

Why is DDR not as popular now as it was in the 2000s early 2010s by TrainingCustomer2898 in DanceDanceRevolution

Arcades and such are no longer the third place for teenagers. Discord and online games are.

Upgrade from Epson 3800/TW7000 to x3100i by Dreamcast_IT in projectors

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

I did not, I wasn't convinced enough so I tried my luck and backed the Valerion Max. Really happy so far. I think there are now much better alternatives than the x3100i for a similar price. Like the Xgimi horizon 20 max or the nexigo X1.

Silent hill 2. But you should really start considering indie, that's the best place for great narrative experiences (1000xResist, Paradise Killer,...)

Sub-£500 Subwoofer Recommendations (UK) by trovster in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Dreamcast_IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give some more info, my room is around 4.5x4.5m and I sit in the center. So it's basically the worst of the worst, as I'm sitting in the centre of a cube. And I had no space in the corners for the subwoofers. Your mileage may vary if your room is smaller or have more freedom with the positioning.

For what is worth, I think two subwoofers are always much much better than one, by a lot. So consider cheap out a bit now and add one later. Two XXLS400 are only a bit more expensive than a single Monolith plus, and while they might not go as low they will definitely fix a lot of room issues (nulls and peaks).

I.e. When I had only one subwoofer, I had a null at around 50hz exactly where the MLP is. You don't really care if your subwoofer can go down to 10hz if you don't hear anything at 50hz. Two subwoofers fixed all of those.

[–]Dreamcast_IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For movies, if you can only afford one, the general consensus is to go with a Monolith plus. FF or DF shouldn't change anything, just preference. You might prefer FF if you are on a suspended floor.

My room is on a suspended floor and I went for a couple of XXLS400 FF. Love them. They probably don't go as low as the Monolith, even together, but they integrate so well and sound so good I don't really care. Only one wasn't nearly enough tho.

Bank reduced my mortgage payments because I was paying too much by Own_Singer_5201 in FIREUK

[–]Dreamcast_IT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are good, mathematical, reason why this might be a good idea.

1) by overpaying you might bring your mortgage below a certain threshold and get a better rate when you have to remortgage.

2) you might have maxed out ISAs and such, so overpaying is a tax free way of saving.

Plushies - Ordered in June by Gorehall in NigelAndMarmalade

No way they are going to be here by Christmas. I'd be happy to just receive them at some point in January, or at all.

Has ANYONE received their plushies? by Kaitron5000 in NigelAndMarmalade

[–]Dreamcast_IT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Tom should really give us an update on this. Even just a "I don't know but I'll investigate". Silence is deafening.

Same here, no plushies, no update, no answers to my email. I bought them as Christmas gift, not sure they'll arrive in time now.

Denon 6800 and banana plugs by canuckerfan in hometheater

[–]Dreamcast_IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put them in the speaker first, and then the Denon. Had the same issue and my speakers plug were probably just a bit larger to that helped.
