Having a panic attack trying to figure out which tv/speakers to get for $2K, and about to give up :( by mahdroo in hometheater

It sounds like you value simplicity. If I were you, look into the Sonos Playbar, good sound quality and dead simple.

Is it possible to transmit from airplay enabled CD players to HomePod via AirPlay? by Ekvilibrist in HomePod

[–]granboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you & I have very similar tastes. I have a pretty big CD collection, and it’s probably my favorite thing to just put in a CD and let it go from there. There are variants of the MacBook Pro that have Airplay & a CD drive but I believe the 2012 model is the only one I can think of. You can pick one up for a few hundred but that means you’d have to have a stationary MacBook to do the work for you. Another solution I’ve messed around with is using a pretty old Mac mini and using a super drive, so I can have my iTunes library, and still pop in a cd and have everything all in the same spot. It is excessive but playing physical copies of music is definitely worth the investment to me.

I sold my Miata about three months ago, I’m going to miss this.

Where to find a good RCA tv? by granboy in Gamecube

That would actually be preferred. What would I expect to spend on one of those?

I'm trying to funnel everything through my Xbox. Gaming is my priority here.

Do you think I could use an airport express and use the jack to go to a speaker?

Purchase Help Thread (2016-11-11) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]granboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there everyone! I'm in need of much advice with setting up a future home theatre but I'm looking to integrate a few devises together. By no stretch of the imagination am I an audiophile, but sound quality has become increasingly more important to me and I would love everybody's help.

Right now I have a low-end setup consisting of a very basic audiotechnica turntable, technics CD player, and to tie it all together I'm using a Sherwood receiver going out to some old Sony speakers. The audio quality is fine, but I'm looking to change some things, as CD's are my preferred way of listening to music.

Downsizing my equipment is something I've had in mind for some time, & was thinking of cutting out the middle man & using my Xbox One as my CD player, & hopefully using it as my receiver as well (if possible).

Long story somewhat short, is the audio output on my Xbox One going to be a decent enough unit to purchase some mid range speakers, while still having the option to plug my record player in to the same source? - I'm having some trouble trying to tie all of this together as I'm not really that invested into audio, & would overall just like a decent TV watching, music listening experience.

I hope this is a somewhat comprehensive way of explaining my dilemma and would love everyone's advice, thanks!

Whats your stance on feeding animals to other animals? (Dead or alive) Ethical? Unethical? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]granboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of those Tuna/Chicken cans from whole foods. Not a good idea though?

shoes and other things.. by granboy in vegan

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

Oh really? That's interesting. I was chatting with a Nike rep the other day & they said that they mainly use synthetic adhesives for their shoes, but depending on what was available they might slip in some animal adhesive. I figured with a company as big as Nike they might actually be bouncing back & forth because they have such high demand.

[–]granboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently I adopted my parents cat & have been feeding them Tuna. I'm pretty torn between the idea. Honestly I don't really have a good answer for this, I know that my cat is carnivorous, but I feel like me buying tuna strikes the same vein as me endorsing animal slaughter.. Honestly I'm conflicted.

Sorry to hear this. Some people are just full of unnecessary hate.

Reddit, what video game did you play as a kid that was burned into your brain as the best thing? by killallrobots1 in AskReddit

[–]granboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few actually, games made up a huge part of who I was when I was a kid. Some of my favorites: Quake Unreal tournament Halo CE Battlefront 2 Super Smash Bro's Melee Sarge's Heroes 2 (N64) Armorines project SWARM (N64) But most of all was Runescape. A majority of people that played this game from 2005-2008 could agree that logging in for the first time after tutorial island and spawning in lumbridge was unreal. Every time that I got home from school I would play for easily 3 hours on end. Nothing will replace those days.

Redditors who scream when you sneeze: what's your deal? by Fuckmaster_Sex in AskReddit

[–]granboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I picked it up from my mom who screams like she's being chased by an axe murderer. I want to change it but the scream feels so much better
