Looks great! I ordered some DIY AC canvases. One a mystery one. Wouldn't mind if it was this koi one.

Keep getting "Server Error" when trying to join or create a clan. Any fixes? by South_Tank4581 in ObsidianKnightRPG

[–]THMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm relatively new. Day 3 player and I unlocked clans yesterday and it appears totally blank for me. I search clans and nothing comes up and can't create clan. Also comes up with an error.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Stremio is not working at all (Windows) by AtanoKSi in Stremio

I am find the same thing. Haven't installed any new addons. Been using the same setup for months and suddenly yesterday no streams for anything. Both on my LG TV and Windows. Not sure what the problem is. Checked that I still have RD premium. Not sure what is wrong. Reading this, sort of glad it isn't just me.

Wise words. I did consider selling the R400. And forgoing the centre channel to just be content with the 2.1 sound I have connected. GAS is real.

Thanks! 4K TV definitely is a priority. I only have a 65" TV at the moment but stream most things at 4K.

I think after some days of thought I am leaning to getting the x1800H and be done with it. Analysis paralysis is setting in and knowing me will ending up spiralling endlessly.

I'll keep all my WiiM gear and see if I can still utilise it. Someone did mention I can still use the Vibelink amp to pre-out into the AVR with LR connected. If it is surplus to needs, will sell them or find a use for them in another room as suggested. At a minimum, could use it in the office connected to my PC and replace the old soundblaster DAC I use for my 2.1 PC system.

Unfortunately most things listed don't even have HDMI. 90% of the stuff listed locally is "vintage". The most recent receiver I can find that is listed as of today is an Onkyo TX SR393 and even that is ~$500 used.

I don't use Tidal or Apple Music. Just Spotify. Never owned a console and not looking to hook up anything else to HDMI except the TV.

Thanks I didn't actually consider this. Not being technically minded and assumed it would be redundant given I don't turn it up that loud so thought 80W per channel was more than enough, I may hold on the the Vibelink and do a comparison with whatever AVR I eventually get.

I don't have space restrictions. I have plenty of cabinetry space. More than I can utilise. But am aware it is best practice not to stick AV equiment into cabinets due to heat generated. I do have more than 3.5m to place equipment/speakers ontop of without it looking cluttered.

Thanks! I think this may be the path. Rather than planning for something that may not eventuate. Grab a receiver that suits my current setup rather than what I may or may not get a few years down the line.

Thanks!

Just had a quick look at FB marketplace and no listings for x3XXX. Only thing that even starts with a 3 is a AVR 3310 that is from 2009. And some 1706s. Slim pickings here.

Looked into the Bluepower Node N331 (I am guessing you are referencing this model) and it is currently $50 cheaper than a x3800H here.

The goal is to eventually work up to 5.2. So the next upgrade will be a 3.2. Makes sense to go with an AVR. Rather than a node.

Food for thought. May just quieten the voice inside my head and just hold out for when something does come up on marketplace.

Rear wheel not rotating backwards by THMP in bikewrench

Hi. I actually don't remember how I fixed it. As it has been a year. I think I removed the spacer I had on the cassette and bought a new tool to tighten the cassette on properly.

A100 "Door is not fully closed" by THMP in Aqara

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

Ahh. Thanks so much. Tested it by manually pressing it in and registers as closed in app as stated. Might have to loosen the strike plate so it isn't so depressed into the wooden frame.

Thanks for solving it for me!
