    12v trigger to USB fan

    Yeah I saw those, would be fun to do, but the triggered power strip can be much more versatile so I went for that, thank you!

    12v trigger to USB fan

    If anyone is on the hunt for powering devices other than the usual power amps here's a power strip that does exactly that: Iot Relay - Enclosed High-Power Power Relay for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC or WiFi, Relay Shield https://a.co/d/ccqFjWH It requires at least 100mA to trigger, and the arcam...

    12v trigger to USB fan

    Thanks, I got all kinds of sensors and fans, but just really wanted it on when AVR is on, all the time, but it would work. Was thinking that power amps with trigger in and out easily could add a USB port to come on when it's triggered and voila problem solved.....a lot of people have asked this...

    12v trigger to USB fan

    Yeah, ideally I wanted it to turn off, but I have it on low right now, it's inside the AVR not my cabinet. With the infinity on top I can't hear it, and if I play music and movies, obviously it's not an issue. I just found a relay power supply that can be used with the 12v trigger, with a minor...

    12v trigger to USB fan

    Hey everyone. So, my arcam runs hot, not necessarily the amp heatsink, but the HDMI switchboard. I headed a small USB fan inside to create some air circulation, as in my opinion the avr11 has design issues which I'm not gonna get into. The USB on the back of the AVR is always on. With that I...

    That is very kind of you! However, I already sent it back, ended up with a good deal on an arcam so I'm all set. Really appreciate your kind offer!

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Hey fieldcar, Sry to add to this conversation, I couldn't find a way to message you directly. Really quick: how on earth do I access the stereo mode! Got stereo mode set up to mains + sub but scrolling through modes doesn't show stereo, and hitting direct mode says not available... everything...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Yes, sry for getting this far off topic guys!! Final quick comment: My bad, I was thinking of the airmotiv C3+ Center which is 55" wide. Look forward to more measurements and reviews on the new centers from different companies. Some review where you can see the size Compared to the reviewer...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    I tell you, after getting this arcam dialed in, even the Klipsch sounds really really good to me. I know some say there's no difference cuz 1s and zeros, but that just isn't reality. Love this arcam so much....and I just cannot even imagine how it will sound with the 3800s LOL I too listened to...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Wow, thank you, this was an awesome read and some great videos to learn from. Firstly, there's almost nothing better than seeing a blind test score like this for a pair of speakers I finally settled on, after an ungodly amount of research (some of it, audio porn for sure) that I got for a...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Hey there, Just happened to stumble on your message, as I am also going to be getting the JBL 3800 soon and was looking for an alternative center. How are you liking it so far? I always wanted to try the monolith 365c and with the HDI 4500 not necessarily being a good buy, especially with a...

    Matching center of my own choice

    That 263rc I hear is very well regarded. The revel c208 is on sale right now, so is the f208 but I just couldn't swing it financially at this point, with the center and all. I like to play fairly loud and often some hard hitting music, but I listen to everything really. The 3800s for $1250 is...

    Onkyo TX-RZ50 Review (Home Theater AVR)

    I haven't gotten my JBLs yet, this is my rp8000f.....it's been a pain in the butt, so many odd things, but then it'll sound amazing all of a sudden....I come back out to play something and there it goes again. Got the arcam avr11 coming, if this rectify my issue, it's the rz50....I had an...

    Matching center of my own choice

    Thank you! If all else fails, I'll do 3 identical...got the wife approval.... allegedly It's our living room so it's been work to make it all happen. I got Klipsch all around, but I'll be using Dirac for calibration, and I do my sweeps with Rew and work my sub and detailed adjustments like...

    Matching center of my own choice

    Hi everyone, So, in my search for my temporary endgame speakers, and going through the amazing rated list provided here I found it frustrating that the towers I wanted, the center match wasn't even on the list. Some say, choose your center first, then your fronts, but that didn't work out for...

    Onkyo TX-RZ50 Review (Home Theater AVR)

    I'm so used to on screen fiddling But, yes, once it's setup it should not be much of an issue. On the Onkyo, it's constant messing around, my crossovers really creates issues, it's a whole thing ...I have to run my l and r in full range otherwise it sounds awful. My sweeps shows this as well...

    Onkyo TX-RZ50 Review (Home Theater AVR)

    I did a lot of additional testing, and at this point I needed to find out exactly what I am dealing with. So, I did a bunch of a b tests with the shield compared to Roku ultra latest version and both of them has issues.... The only place I can get solid continued performance is through the NET...

    The never ending rabbit hole....What Avr would you recommend for my setup? Marantz, Denon, Sony, Anthem, Yamaha, Integra, Emotiva or??????

    What a great write up!!! Thank you! I've been through a lot of research and some testing to find the perfect AVR for me. I had the arcam for a bit but the Ethernet port was shot so I had to return... however, it was absolutely the very best sound of any6i have tried....only, the user interface...

    Had the az5000es delivered today. My rz50 was acting up so I decided to try it out. I can't believe I broke my own promise never to buy refurbished again, but, Amazon is so easy to deal with that I gave it a shot. I decided, if I like it, I'll return and get the az7000es when a deal shows up...

    Onkyo TX-RZ50 Review (Home Theater AVR)

    That's a really nice setup! I've used Plex forever, it works, I just don't really care for the GUI or how it organize my media, but I've worked it out and I'm mainly a folder guy LOL I've been in the computer business my entire life, so I have certain ways I've adopted that I am not willing...
