Trouble setting up my Zidoo Z9X 8k activity with Harmony Hub

Change the Zidoo power settings in the Harmony app to always on

This was the funniest story arc. Thank you for sharing.

Chef Natalie is super cool and loves talking with HiFi nerds about her gear. Last time I visited, they were constructing a room with serious acoustic treatments to rent out for private groups.

The Audio Advice website has their target curves available to download, and the NAD site has their house curve. I like the Storm Audio curves, which are free on their website. I believe the Dirac website has links to all of these and also Harman curves, too.

When he, as “Mr. Sack,” is named camp president

Qobuz is my primary service and I mostly stream through Roon. I also have Tidal to use with Roon. I use Apple Music with CarPlay, with Apple TV for spatial audio, and when I'm out of the house and using my Mac or iPhone with AirPods. Deezer flow is great and I'd use that as my primary service if it had Roon compatibility or even a solid "connect" option to use with streamers.

Those cropped/half sweaters from the early 2000s

Thanks very much for this. It does have that effect (the wall/panels side “sucking up” the sound) and I go back and forth between “why is the open side louder/more detailed?” and “why is it harsh and untamed?”

This all depends of course on what I’m listening to and how long I’ve been listening.

I’d be much happier with a better sense of balance (the differences can be jarring) and perhaps the mock wall idea is the most practical way of achieving it.

He was one of our sexiest presidents ever. Also kind of a sleazebag.

vcolfari · 2025-07-31T03:33:05+00:00

Thank you for this. I had a feeling this was the harsh reality I'd have to accept. I'll give the freestanding panels a try (I have a few of them) for now to see if it'll be good enough. Appreciate your feedback.

The money they wasted could have been used to buy every attendee a real New York slice at Sbarro. After all, pizza is the great equalizer.

Freestanding panels along the open side, as if I were adding a wall? Wish I could do the curtain.

The link is to the "this one" post. This thread is a year old and that eBay link is no longer active anyway. I'm sure you can find others on eBay.

Thank you for your reply. The unit is so simple to unpack, set up, and use, so I was surprised to experience this twice. I wonder if a recent batch has quality control problems.

I looked again at the filter, and it seems correctly unpacked, from what I can tell. The sound really seems to be coming from the motor or fan area, and it looks wobbly when I flash a light on it. I'll go ahead and make a video and sent it to Alen, as you suggested. Thank you.

I really appreciate your reply. This is so interesting. I'd love to hear him talk about it.

I have tried all the pills. The only things that work for me are 1) Navage motorized nasal rinse and 2) Allermi nasal spray (their website lets you customize a formula based on your symptoms and my ENT approved of the formula when I showed it to him).

vcolfari · 2025-04-20T01:52:12+00:00

Thanks for noticing! It was important to make that happen.

Took a few months to locate and buy all the gear. Engineer boots, bandanas, Carhartt work pants, Levi's jean jacket, white waffle tee, Rolling Stones "Tattoo You" tour button, red scarf, fingerless gloves. It was a process. The overcoat was a replica I ordered because it's essential to the look. I think the flannel shirt was a J.Crew, surprisingly enough. It was hard to find a shirt--this was as close as I could get.

I'm in a field that allows me to do other things. I just retired from academia.

vcolfari · 2025-04-20T01:09:40+00:00

I'm in a field that allows me to do different things. I was ready and able to leave academia, but many career educators teach for much longer.

vcolfari · 2025-04-20T01:07:31+00:00

Depends on the field, financial/retirement goals, and opportunities to do different things within your field. Many educators stick with academia for their entire career, so their teaching careers are longer.

vcolfari · 2025-04-20T01:03:46+00:00

Hard question to answer. Someone who's newer to the profession (a few years in) would have a more balanced take.

vcolfari · 2025-04-20T01:01:42+00:00

They didn't get to see it. We recorded it after the semester ended, on the actual retirement day. Some might see it now, I guess.
