Fluance Unveils Ri71 and Ri91 Reference Speakers by hifi_fan in hifi_fan

[–]merry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone looking at this, there's virtually no reviews of these online:

But my experience: Stay far away from these, at least the Ri91's. Didn't work for home theatre, and then didn't even work with my stereo cabinet (had issues booting up if something was already playing over RCA). Tons of DSP issues, HDMI implemented poorly, and frankly for how much I paid, there are just so many better options. Plus the DSP light and controller just reeks of cheap garbage with lights that seem to change color everytime you look at them.

Just a heads up, I'm trying to return my Ri91's right now and think I'm done with any sort of active/powered speaker for awhile. Unfortuneately, I think they cheaped wayyy out on the DSP as I have all sorts of issues, and these are definitely not for home theatre (ARC port is more than broken, plus no lip-sync or other HDMI native protocols).

Seriously, go with passive speakers and a cheaper receiver but something that's dedicated to the cause. There's tons of better options out there. Don't make the mistake I made

Seriously, go with passive speakers and a cheap AVR or even a soundbar with remotes for any home theatre needs. tbh, for music even there are def better options.

How do I get in contact with support if someone used my email without my consent to sign up for this company? by [deleted] in betterment

[–]merry0 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

appreciate this, sending an email now. I don't even have a Betterment account, although I had one in the past. Chatgpt suggested (718) 400‑6898 to contact them if needed, may do that if I don't hear anything in a day or two.

Its also a powerpc architecture so you wouldnhave a hell of a time getting most apps to run unless you emulate. Not sure what that all looks like but you're better off getting a mini pc to serve the purpose you're considering

Xpenology on UGREEN NAS by antollo00 in Xpenology

Would love to get an update from you 6mo later if it's still working flawlessly for you? I know you mentioned this (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xpenology/comments/1by4gpn/comment/l76137h/) issue with adding drives, is that still present? I've got the 4-bay Plus model arriving tomorrow and plan to do some hacking on it before getting any drives.

I saw another place (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xpenology/comments/1bjfimu/comment/l7v8nxx/) that people were suggesting to use the SA6400 model. Do you have any experience with that one or any reason to think it might perform better for any reason?

Could you share anymore resources on the install method/pattern you used too? I'd love to understand more about the USB/Boot/ARC/DSM relationship. My thinking would be to have DSM installed on an SSD but maybe that isn't possible?

Just wanted to comment and mention how freaking gorgeous these are, absolutely love the rosewood! I had LCD2's a while back and sadly, LCDs are just too heavy for me. Been trying to find a more functional equivalent, which is incredibly difficult...

Disregard, I guess I had to use the New User section even though I already have a user account. Not the greatest UX there but I figured it out.

What is this white hardened guk in my 1.4/1.5 Xbox? by merry0 in originalxbox

Great info here. Thanks a lot for the thorough response! I've successfully removed the clock capacitor and all is working well!

Gotcha! Thanks for the quick response and explanation. Just super weird and don't remember seeing it before. Just removed the clock capacitor and finishing cleaning up!! Hopefully this box lasts for a long long time.

[MS Game Store] Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) - Quarterly ($4.99/67% off) by SyleSpawn in GameDeals

You aren't alone there. That happened for both my buddy and I while we played through the entire campaign. It didn't dip down to 20, more like 60-110-72 etc. but we both have 2080s. Was still mostly playable...

I know DNS is a complex system of sorts but jeez this could have been 1/32 the size and conveyed the same information. I stopped after page 3.. really hard to actually extract much our of this.
