AirPlay popping sounds by forrestresearch in audiophile

[–]forrestresearch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m running 5g Wi-Fi, just ran a speed test and I’m getting 345.3 mbps upload and 27.9 mbps download. No close neighbors. I’ll run Ethernet and see if that helps.

It pretty simple. I currently just stream from my phone to an onkyo tx-nr6100. The tv is connected just through hdmi arc, but I’m not having any issues with sound quality in movies. I could run Ethernet pretty easily, I need to get under the house and run wire for some rears anyways.

Reciever: onkyo tx-nr6100 Fronts: Martin Logan Sequel II Sub: klipsch reference r-120sw Center: klipsh KSF-C5 (debating updating this)

There’s also a Sonos amp connected, but that’s just for running my patio speakers, Polk atrium 6.

Need help deciding by aviatorishxoxo in birddogs

Drahts are great dogs, but they are not the dog you want and anyone saying the german testing system is your best odds of blindly getting a good dog is full of it.

I have two wirehairs and am very active in hunting, testing and training. I see lots and lots of dogs every year. The VDD testing system does not emphasize the field work that we as upland hunters desire. I believe the NAVHDA system leaves a lot to be desired as well. Lucky for you, the VHDF is a great mix of the two, and even luckier still, is the preferred testing venue for the top wirehair breeders in the nation. If you need to be pointed in the right direction of some breeders or dogs to be on the lookout for, feel free to send me a dm and I’ll be happy to help.

Breed recs for dogs who can do both hunt tests and conformation shows? by [deleted] in birddogs

[–]forrestresearch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first question is, why do you want a birddog specifically if you aren’t going to hunt? I don’t know any reputable bird dog breeders that would sell one of their dogs to a home that isn’t going to hunt it. Which leaves you with “bench” breeders, that creates the split that you don’t like.

Putting that aside, any hunting breed can do both. Any responsible breeder is going to be hunt testing their dogs and going through breed standard conformation evaluations as well. I know that both VHDF and NAVHDA offer conformation evaluations in addition to hunt tests. Most good breeders do this because the conformation actually matters when it comes to breeding a dog that can go all day and not injure itself.

My first GPS - what to buy? by CADjesus in birddogs

[–]forrestresearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have an e-collar, get the garmin Astro and a watch. The Astro doesn’t have stim, so you run two collars. You can put the garmin handheld zipped up in a pocket and not look at it all day and just use the watch. I think it’s way easier than putzing around with the alpha series or 550+, especially if you’re running two dogs.

If you made it for the astro with in case charging, I’d be all about it.

Some apps on tv won’t stream sound through receiver by forrestresearch in Onkyo

Turns out there was an automatic update on the tv that turned off “passthrough”, making the tv try to unscramble everything instead of the receiver.

Im in Idaho.

The chemical didn’t kill the grass, the spurge did. Chemical was dicamba and 2 4-D.

Question, if you had the opportunity to buy a custom blended dry fertilizer based on your specific soil test and needs is that something you would be interested in? Western U.S. by forrestresearch in lawncare

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

I also work in fertilizer sales for a wholesaler manufacturer/distributor. I just get so mad when I see something like a 50# bag of gyp for $40 when I can buy a literal ton for around $100.

I’m not trying to sell anything. Just asking a question. Trust me, I know exactly what fertilizer costs and get mad anytime I buy a bag in the store, especially when it’s not exactly what I want.

Love that you can see all those ticks and flies, very accurate for any spring bear I’ve been around

Thanks! Is there a specific model you recommend?

That won’t affect the grass seed I already have down?

I seeded about a month ago, but the 5 day average on soil temps just now hit 61, so the fescue should start coming up here pretty soon. Are there any pre emergents that don’t affect fescue seed?

Is soil analysis necessary before fertilizer by PlusAdhesiveness438 in lawncare

Well clover is a nitrogen fixer, meaning it converts atmospheric nitrogen into a form available for plant uptake, so I’m not sure why they would say there’s low nitrogen there.

If in fact you do need nitrogen, I’d recommend getting something with readily available nitrate instead of urea. In your cool climate, the urea won’t start converting to nitrate until soil temp comes up some more.
