    Solar basics and automation

    I've always wondered about in-rush currents of motorized electrical devices like angle-grinders, lawn mowers, fridges and pool pumps. Are they a problem to inverters? They are to the small cheapie one I have.

    HFX

    They used to have a store in Fearie Glen in Pta. Spent many hours there.

    Vinyl is dead, whats up with that, why the resurgence now?

    I do not miss LP's at all. But Album covers! They are an art unto themselves and I do miss studying and looking at them while the music is playing.

    Can anyone identify weird window bubbles?

    Sorry for off-topic, but that is a beautiful lush garden!

    RIP

    Sad when you see the artists that shaped your music journey start passing away. I watched Elton John's farewell show on Disney+ the other night. He left it a few years too late in my opinion.

    Modern music - Mixes

    Am I correct in my assumption that modern music is mixed to sound good on cellphones, Bluetooth speakers and ear pods? My daughter was so excited about the new Taylor Swift album (Midnights) and I think her music is ok. But hell, when I play it on my system the bass is so overwhelming. Even...

    Disney+

    Having put bread on the table for a few years writing software, I can say with a small measure of authority that software that behaves like that is 💩 and almost not salvageable.

    When to get a bigger centre speaker and bigger rear surrounds? (Bentley FC100 vs FC150 and FR50 vs FR80)

    I bought a FC100 last week. Same problem :cry: Now the only definition comes from the centre, the R+L has lost their voices.

    Bentley>Klipsch

    You have a neighbour there in MP called Churchill Naude. Someone I love to have a kuier with, because he knows his music and he's a genuine great guy. A song may be starting and he would go "Can you hear the intro borrows from the classical Indian American chanting, creating a perfect mood for...

    Black Vinyl Wrapping (Bentley Black)

    Good day compatriots I am looking for the exact same Vinyl wrap that is used on the Bently FC100 centre speakers. I am building a centre speaker stand that I want to match as closely to the speaker as possible. Do you guys know where I can buy a meter or two? TIA

    Shout out to Bentley FR-50 Owners

    Yesterday I became a proud owner of a set of Bentley FR-50 bookshelf speakers. They sound amazing for their size and price. Man, do those little drivers dance! I want to mount them in my home theater setup, high-ish up and angled downwards a bit. For that I need to use wall mount brackets. My...

    It's a nightmare that keeps me up at night... Closed to control dust, then it overheats. Open, then the dust kills it.

    The Rugby Championship

    I am losing interest, to be honest. The game is all about the referee's interpretation and not about player skill any longer. World rugby's attitude will clearly not change, so why work myself up about it?

    RIP

    I so want to take credit for that. But no, it was just a twist of fate.

    RIP

    I remember my uncle (who was only about 8 years older than me) buying a Philips Hifi, wiring it up and removing the Xanadu LP from the cellophane plastic sleeve. It was magical.

    What was the last Film you watched?

    Saw "The Predator" this weekend as well. Great sound but forgettable plot.

    What was the last Film you watched?

    Last installment of Terminator. Very confusing plot. Or platkop viewer... any case, the soundtrack is great. Miss those boom boom movies that wakes up the neighbour's dogs.
