Wow...this just took me all the way back to 2008, when I bought an Ipod Video Black with school money, finding RockBox and flashing the Ipod with it was the best thing I did to it...the freedom from the slow iTunes syncing, especially when syncing both music and music videos...I miss it already...

A UPS that uses 100Ah battery or more is ideal, you'll never worry about running out in your current use case. I had a Meccer 1000VA UPS similar to your APC, it used 2×7Ah batteries connected in series (24v x 7Ah = 168VAh, i only ran a router and it didn't last, i also had it connected to a...

HTPC Chrome/Edge Youtube + Adblocker Extension = Youtube Premium...for Free!  :flame: just saying  :dop:

I also recommend removing or bypassing the AVR from your stereo music chain. One of the main improvements that you most likely wont miss is the bass control and a fuller sound compared to using the AVR in pure direct etc. Which Revel speakers are you using? Having played with both Revel M20...

Theta Data Basic II Transport...every time I eject a Disk, I admire the build quality and the way it plays without hesitation after closing-in...the Philips CDM-9 Pro mechanism is quite a piece of military grade art.

Personally, I don't like EQ'ing my main speakers sound at all (one of the reasons I prefer pure stereo sytems), i prefer zero tone & balance tweaks in an attempt to retain the originality of the sound as much as possible. I found Audyssey nice for movies and to impress family & friends, but...

Esbjorn Svensson Trio I love the way they play as if they are one with the instruments...here's a sample on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhdlVXxp1nw

100% concur with the other gents, I've also had varying experience with both floor standers and sub-sat stereo systems, I can safely say I've achieved better mids plus lows reproduction with sub-sat system over floor standers. Indeed, sub integration has been my nightmare ever since I started...

There's your giveaway solution given that it seems like you have more electronic equipment throwing tantrums at you.

Wow, the thought of two PV1s with auto-EQ is indeed something I'd really love to taste, I remember looking for the SMS-1 hoping to correct my single PV1 but the SMS-1 was just hard to find. I guess Auto-EQ is the woman behind these great subs' performance.

Quite an interesting feature that is, seems like i'm not using it to its fullest since I only have 1 source - preamp out. Apart from the SPL and going deeper, how's the DD15's bass attack/decay response (or let me say bass details) in comparison with the DB1 (especially with music like deep...

That one is a monster  :Ooooooh:  ...one day is one day  :dop:

I'd say from an SPL point of view - which is good for movies and not music, that's true, but from a musicality point of view, I'd disagree. The lower end B&W subs like the ASW series are  :cr@p: since they have high distortions like the Velodyne SPL800 and can't go deep either, but their...

Is that the Digital Drive series with their  built-in automated  EQs? I've heard great things about those as well but I've never had the opportunity to hear their capabilities. So far, I've only heard their SPL series up to 12 inch and I can't recommend any of them over a DB1. I'd love to bless...

After going through exactly the same problem, and being a die-hard stereo fan as well (at some point I ditched subwoofers for over half a year because every sub I added (large or small) kind of disturbed the bookshelf speakers' detailed performance). I think my problem is made worse by my added...
