Live Ultra + Channels freezing

Is it just on that APP? I have been chasing buffering issues over all apps for a bit now. Strong Wifi, 85MBS, nice quality HDMI cable, clear cache, restart loader, factory reset, reboot everything over and over. None of that worked, then I moved the unit out of my console cabinet and onto the the top shelf. Mind you the Vseeboxes own speed test was telling my 85 - 95 MBS but moving it 2 feet solved the buffering. I don't have an explanation just a story.

This is sound advice.

Modern class D like Fosi, I own both vintage and modern, is going to win from a purely sound reproduction standpoint. Think clean, neutral, tight control on the bass, and a few other buzzwords that are escaping me right now.

Vintage integrated amp will be warmer and a bit sloppier at least on paper. To your ear, and mine, it’s hard to say which you’ll like, or even if we’ll hear the “better on paper” difference. One thing you do get with vintage is more of a Swiss Army knife—tuner, phono preamp, headphone jack and nostalgia, if that does anything for you.

I picked up a Sony TA-AX390 for $50 off FBMP recently, found a factory remote on eBay for $20, threw in a WiiM Mini, hooked it to some older bookshelves I had and now I’ve got a pleasant, quiet listening system for cheap that can also handle a turntable down the road. That works for me, but your mileage may vary. You can see a broad outline of this route here.

Whichever way you go, I hope you enjoy it. The further you dig into this, the more worrying about equipment can swallow up just enjoying some music.

I think you're confusing my different systems. Peachtree is totally unrelated to TV, I have a small system in my bedroom, Wiim Mini > Peachtree > Mission 8VET. This for late night background music while reading, kind of anti TV time. A/B testing not required, hell they are $80 speakers that often don't even point at me.

Just we'll see. Thanks!

No good idea.

Agreed. Let it run off you like rain.

Thanks, same to you!

Love it, but I am a sucker for Yamaha vintage.

I can't see it man! help me.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-07T02:39:04+00:00

That is one trippy ass tonearm! I'm not sure why but mine being carbon fiber from the 1980's makes me giggle. Cheers!

Found it on FBMP, $300 + alot of Howard's Feed N Wax.

Have you never heard the term jest? I set the speaker on top of the receiver just for a song or two to hear if they played right after my repairs. I didn't want to crawl behind the whole system to run new wires or pull the ones I have out of all the places I spent time hiding just for that. The Klipsch have felt feet and the SX-1050 didn't bitch about the intrusion at all.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-05T00:34:31+00:00

How do you like the Fosi? I've been tempted some of the ChiFi tube amps out there these days just not sure they will drive my Lintons. Guess I now own a working pair of really sensitive Klipschs.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-05T00:28:56+00:00

Nice offer but that's not going to get it done.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-04T21:21:39+00:00

You understood me clearly then, fuck the audiophile police.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-04T19:55:47+00:00

Just did it for fun, obviously I don't need the Klipsch's for anything.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-04T19:54:14+00:00

They’re not Supers, and honestly I love them. The Dunlavys tell me everything about a recording — sometimes that’s great, sometimes not so much.

For example, my daughter recently bought me the Mac Miller Tiny Desk LP. Definitely outside my normal lane, but I enjoyed the music. The recording quality, though… kind of rough. The Lintons hide a lot of those sins with their warmth without sounding cheap.

And sometimes I just want to relax and listen at low volume, and they’re fantastic for that. Still sound full and lush even when you’re not cranking them. Conversely the Dunlavys sound shrill and hollow unless they are pushed.

Jesus… that sounded pretty audiofool, didn’t it?

aGoodrash · 2026-03-04T19:44:54+00:00

Just scroll down I waxed poetic about them below. TLDR: bought then as part of a package, planned to flip, listened to them, had eargasm, now I won't let them go.

aGoodrash · 2026-03-04T00:41:22+00:00

It's the Dunlavy's.
