I figured it was @Paladin79 trying to build a better @bcowen...! An impossible task, but someone has to try...!

Of course, @bcowen will comment that you can't improve upon perfection...!

I just looked up your location. 127.0.0.1 is Rikers Island in the Bronx. Must be a new warden there that is allowing unsupervised internet use.

Rikers Island is in Queens, specifically the Astoria area. Don't ask how I know.

Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this. Definitely breaking some kind of copyright law!

LOL my hair is not quite that white yet but I do have a similar mustache, I am going for the Wilford Brimley look. Also I just got some Crocs that look kinda similar except no buckle.

At least the blank, hapless expression on Bill-nocchio seems correct...!

Speaking of weird, what's some weirdo music y'all listen to? The Residents is probably the weirdest for me

Esquival. Dr Beefheart. Aamon Duul. Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band*. Gong. And that's without actually looking at my collection.
.

*EDIT - from one of their song lyrics was taken the band name "death cab for cutie".

Oh yeah I forgot to mention Beefheart!

Also speaking of german weirdos, I'm partial to Cluster and Moebius's solo stuff!

That immediately brings to my mind John Carpenters 1982 remake of the 1951 "The Thing".

I do believe it was Captain Beefheart and the Magic band. Real name Don Van Vliet. A high school friend of Frank Zappa, Zappa produced Trout Mask Replica. Zappa once called Beefheart weird if that tells you anything. Want a song they performed together? Track down Orange Claw Hammer. I once sent that song to a lady in Rochester New York and she asked me not to send music, ever again.

Question for the braintrust.

I use my 2ch for tv duties and the sound sucks. Specifically, the sound effects are always WAY louder than voices. It's super annoying because I have to crank it up to hear dialogue and as soon as there's any sort of action it's loud af. This is specific to tv only - music from my various sources is perfectly fine.

Apple TV -> HDMI -> Samsung tv -> optical -> Modi MB -> NAD integrated -> Linn speakers.

So my question is: am I effed because this is done on purpose to force people into 5.1 so the center channel can be adjusted accordingly or is there something I can do?

Check your tv’s audio out settings. Turn off surround sound, dolby atmos, etc. is the sound to your liking with other sources? Speaker position can also play a role.

There used to be a "Dolby 3" setting for those with out a center channel. Or some thing like that name. It presented viewers with a phantom center channel that worked okie dokie.

…and then there's also this little issue.
