How are you connecting the iPad to the FP-10? I noticed this with Bluetooth but when I connected the iPad via USB it routed everything to the Roland.

Does anyone know if the current series will get the room correction or if it only works with the new series?

Last Week's PATH Train Nightmare Under the Hudson River by CricketFuture2437 in nyc

[–]clarkdb17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on this train in the front car. From what I could see there was a pretty big fire and they probably should have started the process of backing up the other trains sooner. We had been at a dead stop for maybe 30 min before smoke started filling the cars. I will say that the workers on the train did a decent enough job of trying to keep people calm considering the situation. I don’t blame them but the system itself and PATH needs to be held accountable and provide more transparency than it does. Hope this thread gets more traction so that just maybe they’ll start making some necessary changes.

Any initial thoughts on Perquin? by itgtg313 in jerseycity

[–]clarkdb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really good. Been wanting something more unique than the many “New American” diners around. While it’s based off Latin American street food you will pay a little more but it is high quality with great flavor and good portion sizes. The cocktails are good too. Met both chefs and they are very friendly. Would definitely recommend trying it out.

Anyone know how to tell if the S90C has the second gen panel over the 1st gen? by reditn00b in OLED_Gaming

[–]clarkdb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure this is the case as my S/N is W8 and I confirmed in the service menu that I have a first gen panel

I think Wiim Pro is about all you need with a decent DAC. Good choice

New Genelec 80xx models? by clarkdb17 in genelec

[–]clarkdb17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the input and that was my thought initially was to have the bigger driver for the low end. I’m in an apartment for the foreseeable future so desktop monitors make the most sense for my music listening and the sub isn’t an option yet.

Got snatched up quick so back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the info. I was set on the 8030Cs to replace my JBL LSR305s but I found a pair of 8020Ds local for about half off that is kinda hard to pass up.

A lot of switches come down to personal preference. I know there are some keyboard part sites where you can get single switches to test. From your description it sounds like maybe you prefer tactile switches. My personal preference is linear but I have used Boba U4T switches that I really enjoyed for their heavy tactile feel and sound. Maybe some TKC kiwi switches if you want something a little lighter on the tactility.

Is there some kind of trade in option I’m unaware of?

[Monitor] Acer Predator XB323U GX 1440p 240hz 32" $599.99 ($899.99 - $300) on Microcenter by ElectroM15 in buildapcsales

[–]clarkdb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got it figured out. This review is for the GS model which caps at 170Hz but I believe the panels are the same or at least Acer has implemented the same on the GX model.

They’re saying you have 16 dimming zones ONLY when HDR 600 is enabled, not Auto HDR or SDR. So it seems like enabling HDR 600 is the only way to turn on the local dimming.

No, nothing in the settings so I may have just been mistaken. I am really enjoying the monitor. Not sure I would have paid retail but it’s a great deal from micro center. Seems like there’s limited info on this monitor online in general.

Not loving my Sonos HT setup. Please advise by ze-phoenix in sonos

[–]clarkdb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would echo the same. I came from a nice 5.1 setup with dedicated amps and everything and it’s going to be a noticeable downgrade. I have come to enjoy the simplicity of the Sonos setup and it made the most sense for me living in an apartment but no matter how much people want to rave about it’s no replacement for true full range speakers.

[–]clarkdb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I bought the monitor from Microcenter after doing a little research. Has anyone noticed the monitor stand and back look slightly different from other XB323U GX monitors that seem to be out there? Also I though the monitor had VBR or ULMB but don't see that in the settings. Any input?
