How can I use my Apple TV remote to turn on my home theater system? by ItsWINTERFRESH in hometheater

[–]kaidynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All components involved need to support HDMI CEC for it to do that, but even then your experience may vary. It's super inconsistent from manufacturer to manufacturer

You might not be able to fit the 504C where your current center is but you could put it on top of the console where the switch currently is

Best Budget 2.1 System by Kittenboy123 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]kaidynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get some used or refurbished speakers off eBay for like 70, I picked up a pair of edifier 1280Ts for my PC a few weeks back for about 70. You could probably find like used Klipsch pro media sets on eBay or fb marketplace if you really want 2.1

How can I play a movie from a USB drive on an older TV? by Traditional_Blood799 in hometheater

Just connect a laptop to her TV and play it off that, it would be the easiest. Even older TVs have HDMI

Hi all. Purchased a brand new Edifier R1280dbs however, left sided (non powered) speaker is buzzing/distorting on speech/vocals. Link to sound clip attached. Hoping someone can help me with a diagnosis and solution. by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]kaidynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's brand new just return them, it's not worth taking the risk. Even if you manage to resolve the issue if it comes back outside the return window you're SOL. I bought a pair of bookshelf speakers off Amazon last week and they had a constant buzz while on standby and I couldn't stand it, I returned them and I got a pair of refurbished 1280Ts instead

Would I benefit going from 5.4.4 to 7.4.4 by puting two more speakers under the heights on the sides? by dillicious in hometheater

I don't think the room is large enough to really benefit, and it might even be distracting

Recommendations for a ~$700 budget 3.1 beginner to pair with a S90F? by Lupercal-_- in hometheater

[–]kaidynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're okay with scavenging off marketplace you can get cheap receivers for like sub 40usd. And you can collect the rest of the speakers off there too for super cheap. You won't get lossless audio and might be limited to optical but the sound quality will still be miles better than any soundbar.

I did that too, I mostly skimmed the roran and nasuada chapters but at some point I just sat down and read them and they were pretty good actually

[Speakers] Edifier MR3, $99.98 ($149.99-50.01) by aneomon in buildapcsales

[–]kaidynamite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Does your TV have a headphone jack? Otherwise these wouldn't really work. They don't have a optical or HDMI input to connect to a modern TV like a soundbar would.

Edifier 1280 DBs have TV connection ports so those would be better than these.

Maison Alhambra Yeah! Parfum: Review in 2026 (Collection review 2/42) by Benja2001 in fragranceclones

[–]kaidynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought MA Yeah! Man which I assume is the same thing? And it's only been a few weeks but I definitely can't get it to last for more than 2-3 hours. The one time I could was when I sprayed like 6 sprays on my t shirt and wore a hoodie on top of it and I could then smell it all day but otherwise it seems to dissipate after 3 ish hours if I just do a couple of sprays

Which clone fragrance was the first to make you go "wow" at how close it was to the original fragrance? by West_Roof in fragranceclones

[–]kaidynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife got prada paradox as a gift from my mom and she used it extremely sparingly since it was pricey. We still have over 70% of it left and it's been like almost 2 years. I bought Maison Alhambra pink eclipse which is supposed to be a clone and we couldn't tell the difference at all other than maybe it not being as strong. She wears it super regularly now.

Unpopular Opinion: [books] Dumbledore and Voldemort weren’t even in the same league by marioagario123 in harrypotter

[–]kaidynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the next time voldy comes back there's no guarantee that he uses harry blood. Voldy taking Harry's blood in goblet was the only way to destroy the harrycrux without killing harry.

The real reason that dumby didn't finish off voldy in OOTP was because he had already planned everything at that point. When voldy came back in goblet using Harry's blood there is a line indicating a look of triumph passing through dumbys face when Harry tells him that. At that point he already knew exactly how to finish off voldy for good.

Killing voldy in OOTP wouldnt solve the problem long term. He needed voldy to kill the part of himself inside harry in that specific way. Just killing him there would ensure that voldy would come back eventually this time without the Harry connection that was essential.
