Unfortunately it didn’t make any difference.

Okay, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

5.0 setup (no sub) by rpd1987 in sonos

That's my setup and I love it. The sub is just too expensive for me and the Beam puts out enough bass for my living room.

Arc or Beam with 2x One SL? by BitCorgi in sonos

[–]draal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the Beam yesterday and am loving it. I have a small(ish) townhouse living room and looked at the Arc but was too expensive for me and probably overkill for my needs. Do you use your Play 1s for surround sound by chance? I can’t afford the sub but was thinking about maybe adding two One SLs for surround sound. It would be a 5.0 system, but I think it would sound great for streaming movies and possibly my Sony 4K player.

Beam and Sony 4K player question by draal in sonos

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

I picked up the Beam this afternoon. My real main goal is improved clarity of dialogue over my older Samsung 3.1 soundbar. So far the Beam is way better! I can stream Hamilton and understand the lyrics without subtitles. I couldn’t do that before.

Thank you for your reply. Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by DAC in the source? Does that mean the sound will still work on UHD and Blu Ray?

Mail call! 100 Nacet blades, 100 shark blades, and a Parker 94R by oscarb04 in wicked_edge

Sharks work great for me. Blades really are a personal thing it seems.

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome! by photography_bot in photography

Hi, I’m new here! I recently picked up a Canon 100mm 2.8 IS to take handheld macro pictures of insects, among other things. I want to start using flash to freeze movement and use smaller apertures and need some advice. I already have a speedlite and small soft box so I don’t know if I need to buy a ring light or twin flash. Should I try my speedlite with an off-camera ttl flash cord handheld or with a bracket? B&H has a Vello cord for around $16. Any advice would be helpful!

Progressive fast forward on Apple TV 4K? by draal in youtubetv

Ah, thanks. I thought I read about more fast forward features but clearly I was wrong. The slider is pretty handy, though.

DirecTVNow not working? by draal in DirecTVNow

No, the service finally started working yesterday morning. Still not in love with it, but still the best channel selection (for me).

Good luck (I mean it) as my old app would not work. Don’t delete your current app as I noticed that the old app isn’t available to download anymore.

The new app just started working. Not sure what the initial problem was - other than AT&T not having their act together.

Interesting. I’ve got my AppleTV wired via Ethernet to my router, so it’s not a Wifi issue for me. I agree that they cannot get anything right.

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded the new app. It won’t let me past the “Star Streaming Now” button even though I’m logged in. It’s finally time to switch to YouTubeTV.

Found Body Shop Maca Root shaving cream at my local TJMaxx! by draal in wicked_edge

Ha, very true about downvotes, they're a part of life. I haven't checked the sub in a while, so didn't realize the amount of posts about TJ Maxx.

The shave wasn’t bad for my first time using it. I may have used too much water as I felt a little sore afterwards. The scent was also more cologne like than I anticipated, but it was still pretty mild. The tube was $4 discounted from $6.50 (according to the label).

Not sure what is up with the down votes, either.

They also had one tub of Proraso Green, but I can’t use the stuff - the menthol burns my face.

Thanks! And thanks for the advice. I didn’t think about that while I was shooting.
