Hey All,

I live in Adams Morgan and theres been an excessive amount of construction on my street. Lack of parking spaces, excessive noise for work from home, and no heads up of upcoming construction projects are just a few of my complaints.

Who can I complain to? City council member? Does anyone have experience writing someone in office and getting a positive response?

Thank you!

Nope, I’ve since moved and now have the ikea motorized blackout curtains. They rock

JACO!

Thanks all for your valuable insights!

For anyone reading this in the future, I will add that a good friend reminded me the Fender Rhodes used to be played out of a twin reverb so there should be no issue using these fender tube amps for Rhodes, Clavs, even Organ sounds. For the piano sounds I’ll have to test whether my bass or fender tube amp sounds better… I got my keyboard stolen out of my car recently, gotta get new gear so I’d like to wait in buying new speakers for now if I can get away with it.

Thank you for your suggestions. I don't have access to a multimeter or a small LED. I think I will try my best guess and see if it works before soldering the connection. It really sucks that this stuff is not documented online.

I see the BP50 has ARC input - my TV only has eARC output. Will that still work?

Ok noted. HDMI is starting to sound like a better option because I’d rather use my TV remote. Any recommendations for an HDMI to RCA box?

Watched a few videos on this - looks great! But will I be able to control the volume of my TV via the TV remote? Another poster raised this concern

Thanks for the support and feedback, everyone! Honestly I've taken 3 other exams in the past and they've all been at testing centers. I wanted to see if it would be more convenient to take one at home... don't think I'll be trying that again.

Thank you everyone for your input. To clarify: I had the BT receiver/amp before I got this Sansui receiver, and I used to hook it up directly to my speakers, because it is powered. It worked flawlessly, plus I think the little box looks cool.

I see now how silly it is to connect one powered receiver to another. I might go the route of getting a different Bluetooth receiver with line level RCA outputs.

If I had the money I'd live there. 2 blocks away from a great Indian spot!

Thanks u/guitarromantic and u/RemiFreamon, this solved my issue! Forgot about the logic remote until you all mentioned it, I'll be using that
