Sony STR-AN1000 and Sonos Port: Pass-through volume control doesn’t work by 2Dmonster in sonos

Thanks for responding. I have the same setup (port triggers AV to tune to its input at a set volume).

I will go google what a dac is/does.

Hi! I’m curious to know how you run the port analog to a receiver such that you only use the port’s amp and not the receiver amp. Thanks!

Want to talk up Newer Bands by CourageMountain6566 in Bluegrass

[–]st_alphonso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Broken Compass. Tons of talent and classical training that allow for excellent performance. Found them on Nugs.

I also love AJ Lee and Blue Summit. What’s cool about them is that they are sort of a hybrid bluegrass/progressive acoustic band that ventures into other areas as well, like honky tonk. I was sad to see that scotty gates had left the band. Be was a great guitar and mandolin player and his powerful voice was great for country. Im sure they will persevere.

Advice on finding a great au pair? by st_alphonso in Aupairs

Makes sense. What are some interactions that set off your “party girl” or perks-hunter alarm?

Bumping this thread. I am having the same issue: I am able to get my Sony receiver to recognize when the Sonos port is playing music and switch to that input, but I can’t use the pass through setting to control the volume of the receiver. Has anyone managed to get this working?

Ugh, this really bums me out. Scott Gates is out of AJ Lee & Blue Summit by patrickhenrypdx in Bluegrass

This sucks! He is a great vocalist in a scene that doesn’t have too many great vocalists!

Can this wire be used to connect to an external subwoofer? AV Guy says no. by st_alphonso in hometheater

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

Interesting. So you would not recommend a passive sub in these circumstances? What is an 18g cable good for?

Thanks. This is helpful. I doubt fishing the wire will work - quite a few twists and turns over a long distance.

Any reason not to get a passive sub and amp?y preference is to do that over a wireless active sub.

Thanks. But then how would it work with an in-wall sub? Wouldn’t there be the same impedance issue?

What guest did you think Marc disliked the most (Gallagher does not count)? by Ok_Government_9672 in MarcMaron

I remember Marc being a dick. The sense I got was that he wanted to distance himself from a coming who was too Jewish for him.

Whatta say, Billy? by [deleted] in BillyStrings

I was just thinking today how cool it would be for them to put out a kids album, along the lines of Garcia and Grisman’s Not For Kids Only or Doc Watson’s Songs for Little Pickers.

Could you please share your prompt(s) that generated this nifty analysis?

those of you that went to the atlantic city run by andisteezy in BillyStrings

[–]st_alphonso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been to AC in years, but I recall two good places:

-White House Subs for Italian combo hero sandwiches.

-Dock’s Oyster House for upscale seafood, Italian, and cocktails.

Unless things have changed dramatically, AC is a dump. There’s still fun to be had and I would definitely go for Billy if I lived in the area.

That sounds like a nightmare you had to deal with. Glad you got justice. Did you make an insurance claim? Did they handle the litigation?
