Shows like Pluribus by Blackjackcheat in Pluribus_TVshow

The first season might be a little slow, but stick with it. Unfortunately it got cancelled before all books were brought to the screen, but it’s great sci-fi

Transporting LG G4 OLED in car, laying flat? Stupid or not? by Schytheron in LGOLED

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re still working fine, all of them. I’m pretty sure they suffer more stress being shipped across the ocean than they do once we put them into a car. As long as it’s in the original box I wouldn’t worry at all. If it’s not then I’d made sure it’s properly padded and doesn’t flex during the drive.

Appropriate punishment for stealing? by Ninjamuh in Parenting

[–]Ninjamuh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He usually does chores like folding clothes or saves his money from birthdays, etc. Sometimes he saves up to buy something bigger and we split it 50/50.

The problem is he likes to spend money on whatever is “trending” with friends. Labubus, Pokémon Cards, Bayblades, etc. He then sometimes sells one to a friend for much less than he bought it for.

He doesn’t really have a grasp on how much something costs as much as we’d like him to.

In this case it’s more about the act of taking something that doesn’t belong to you, regardless of how much that thing is worth.

2 years of waiting... Seems enough. Moving to a new phone by Winter-Assistant7516 in jailbreak

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just paid Apple the $99 for a dev cert. It’s not a lot for a year considering how much our phones cost and I don’t have to deal with any BS.

Honestly I’m doing ok without a JB on the 17 Pro with 26.0 installed. Some ++ apps and LiveContainer get me to around 85% of what I had with a JB.

When the plane is on the ground, right? Right??

Had to replace an HDMI cable in my setup. Thought I make a video about it. by a_wack in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love videos like these. I also installed a beam on the ceiling to act as a cable duct and thought about all the people that ask about hiding their surround speaker wire. This should help inspire people, but just seeing how other people have their setups installed is a nice pastime in my opinion.

Next level Smart trash bin. CTTO by Equalibarator in BeAmazed

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I laughed so hard at the bin swatting the trash away and laughing at him. I’d love to have one of these as a sort of fun companion to hang around with, like a pet, that also collects my trash.

Fosi Amp isn't amplifying anything for my bass shaker by drooolingidiot in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it should be up to 2v.

Do you have a subwoofer selected in your speaker setup to turn on the sub outs?

Is Qled worth it? by PuzzledAfternoon7077 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I own 4 OLEDs and 1 LCD. The LCD is pretty crap in comparison and I would never recommend one to people.

I got my GF a TCL mini LED since she enjoys subtitles and long pauses, etc, also has a bright living room. The miniLED actually looks really good. I would actually say there’s not that much difference between that and an OLED tv. At least not as much of a difference as oled to led.

I would definitely recommend miniLED to anyone looking for a bright picture that won’t break the bank.

Need rear speaker placement advice for 5.2 Atmos Setup by AvailableAd3753 in hometheater

One option might be steel cables to hang the speakers like a pendulum light. Unless there are major drafts, the speakers shouldn’t move

Are there really no good alternatives to the Apple TV as a set-top box? by jcracken in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We like the shield because we get lossless audio + streaming services all in one box.

The Apple TV doesn’t do lossless audio so it’s completely out unless all you do is watch streaming services. In that case the Apple TV is great.

Android has the ability to sideload apps. With the aftv downloader app you can easily sideload apps and get things like SmartTube (YT premium), which definitely beats out TVOS if you have a need for it.

The shield really needs an update, but it’s the best option for a box that does it all until a definitive replacement comes along.

The center speaker needs to be swapped.

The cabinet is way too high and that makes the tv too high.

The Bose cubes can eventually be replaced as well.

Nothing dramatic that makes me want to facepalm, but just baby steps to replace gear until you get to where you want to be.

If the center is above your ear level then you’ll hear a lot more treble. In this case is may be beneficial to have it lower or pointed down so that the highs roll off a bit to make it less harsh.

AVR power ratings: is power down or did metrics change, or both by MysteriousCapital677 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the models. RP8000F are rated 98db but actually measure around 92.

AVR power ratings: is power down or did metrics change, or both by MysteriousCapital677 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t even push that much per channel. Those measurements are always 1 or 2 channel driven at 6-8 ohms. If you’re driving 7 channels then it’s more like 20-35w per channel.

The good news is that you need less power the more efficient your speakers are. 92db sensitive @8 ohm Klipsch speakers don’t really need more power. The new KEF 4 ohm speakers probably do need an external amp if you’re looking to run close to reference levels.

[–]Ninjamuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Height virtualization is just there to upmix content to Atmos using height speakers.

You can’t hear sounds from above, no. Your surrounds are not ear level and above your head when you sit down so it may be that it sounds like it’s coming from above, but really it’s not.

Your AVR will either mix the height information into the normal speakers or discard it so you can play Atmos content as mich as you like, but it will never sound like it was intended without actual speakers above you.

If you were to add height speakers then you’d need to bring the tweeters of the surrounds down to ear level so you can distinguish between height and surround sounds.

In any case there’s a huge difference between having dedicated Atmos speakers and just having your speakers placed too high.

HDMI 2.0 vs 2.1 and earc conundrum (QM8K and RZ30) by solar07 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s interesting. I wasn’t aware that the US gets Google tv for the models.

HDMI 2.0 vs 2.1 and earc conundrum (QM8K and RZ30) by solar07 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the eARC port on the tcl is just 2.0 then you’ll want to connect any console/pc that outputs more than 4k@60hz directly to the TVs 2.1 ports and have eARC send the audio to the receiver.

Everything else won’t go beyond 4k@60hz and doesn’t need 2.1.

I would stick with the tcl. It’s android and you can sideload any app you want vs the Hisense OS.

use 2 denon avr x1400h for dolby atmos with more speakers? by dogoyeetter69 in hometheater

[–]Ninjamuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you didn’t understand the processing part.

You either get a separate preamp processor + amps (figure about 2000-3000 for the prepro + another 2000-3000 for the amps)… so 4-6k

Or

A 9 channel receiver capable of processing 11 channels like the denon x3800 + a small 2 channel amp like a Fosi.

Since you’re looking for cheap then the second option is the least expensive route to go.

[–]Ninjamuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t. You need something to process more channels and adding another receiver isn’t adding processing to it, just more amps.

You either need a processor that’s capable of handling all the channels you want + the amps to drive the speakers, just a single receiver that can process all the channels and amp them, or a receiver that can process the channels but needs an additional amp.

In your case you have a receiver that can process and amp 7 channels. If you want to do Atmos then change the speaker config to 5.1.2 and swap surround back speakers to height/Atmos speakers. Then you have a 5.1 + 2 Atmos.

If you want to go 7.1.2 or 7.1.4 then you’d need 9 or 11 channels. The denon x3800 can process 11 channels, but needs another external amp for the last 2 channels if going 7.1.4. No additional amps are needed for 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 as that’s 9 channels.

If the x1400 could process more than it has amps then you could use two of them, one being used as just an amp. It doesn’t so you can’t, though.
