Fantastic Speakers
on March 3, 2021
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
When I initially requested these speakers I was beside myself, I had B&W speakers on my want list for some time and I finally got the chance to own them. Unfortunately the ‘rona delayed their delivery by four months but after hooking them up and breaking them in I’m thoroughly impressed.
The style is simplistic and functional and I liked that the protective screens attach magnetically.
Now for technical jargon...after getting them hooked up (Bookshelf was LF w/banana clips, Center was HF with banana clips...I did not Bi Wire them) I ran the speakers on medium to low volume for 2 weeks to give them a solid break in period before bring them online fully (ie loudness). I do consider myself tech savvy and a movie sound junkie. I take joy in finding the hidden sounds and the finely tuned/subtle things that make movies sound great...I mean who doesn’t listen for the Wilhelm every time they watch a movie?!
For my sound/clarity tests I could think of no other film than the Empire Strikes Back on 4K (the greatest movie ever made). This film, like many of the greats, have excellent sound ranges. From the opening crawl, mighty Imperial March, the Battle of Hoth, animal sounds on Dagobah, Cloud City and the subsequent duel and escape along with a phenomenal score from the Master John Williams himself truly provides a solid test.
I pushed 80% power to the speakers and was rewarded with clarity and loudness and that didn’t step on or overwhelm each other. The sound was balanced, I could pick up on nuances not previously heard and when I needed in your face sound...they delivered on an impressive scale.
I pushed a few choice scenes to 90% power and was just blown away. The Scimitar class assault bombers screaming over the asteroid field, Boba Fett blasting off the East Platform and the final portion of the duel between Luke and Vader. The speakers truly made these scenes pop and immersed you in lifelike sound making you feel like you were actually there.
The speakers give you quality that will take your breath away and bring a tear to your eye.
Make sure to hook up quality cables when using these speakers. Do not hook up Walmart cabling to these, spend the money and get some audio quest from Magnolia. If you run good equipment through bad cabling, you’ll get bad sound. You equipment and set up
Is only as good as the cables!!

Elegant & Efficient Air Purifier
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
First off the thing is huge!!! Easily stands 3 feet tall, wasn’t expecting it to be this big but not complaining.
Very easy set up, took about 15 mins from cutting the box to operational. The interface is all touch screen and simple to use. This can be hooked up to the internet but I don’t use that function and it works just fine.
The box says it covers 624 sq feet and I fell it’s accurate. Ive got mine set up in a open kitchen/living room and works just fine.
There’s 3 fan settings L/M/H and when it’s in L you cannot hear it all. There’s some noise when it’s on M/H settings but it’s not annoying at all. Another nice feature is the LED light up front. It changes color based on the air quality. Solid blue is no detected containment’s and red is max level containments. I’m a professional level chef and when I start cooking the device picks up on the change in air quality almost immediately and starts working to scrub it. I burnt something the other day (who doesn’t) and the purifier was able to get the smoke filtered out in no time, like less than 5 min. I was throughly impressed with the cleaning ability.
Well worth the investment here, especially if you’re sensitive to bad air!!

Feel every word, every moment, every emotion, elevated. The new VIZIO Elevate 5.1.4 Home Theater Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X plus 18 total speakers with separate tweeters and dual woofers to breathe thrilling life into the latest movies, sports, gaming, and more. Revolutionary auto-rotating Adaptive Height Speakers blast sound off the ceiling, delivering completely immersive overhead surround sound. When rotated forward, these speakers provide a wider soundstage and clearer vocals to standard surround and stereo modes, particularly great for music. Voice Assistant Input lets you use the voice-enabled device you’re already accustomed to (sold separately) right through the sound bar, in addition to convenient Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth streaming. Three HDMI ports connect two 4K devices to the TV with eARC making setup clean and simple.

Phenomenal Sound System!!!
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
Amazing is the best way to describe these speakers. A couple of years ago I got the predecessor to this set up and I decided to upgrade to the Elevate speakers and man I’m not disappointed.
Again if you’ve never owned overhead surround sound these will take a bit to get used too since the sound is bounced off the ceiling before hitting you. It’s weird, but totally awesome once you’re adjusted. These are not recommend for a vaulted ceiling though if you throwing the sound up, just aim them forward instead.
Like all speakers these just be broken in before cranking them up to capacity. Take a couple of weeks before cranking it up...trust me on this (blown a few myself back in the day watching Empire Strikes Back).
Set up is easy, just follow the instructions and you definitely need to invest in a good HDMI cable to unlock to full potential of this set up & I recommend a Carbon or Vodka cable.
I run these though a Denon receiver to maximize their potential.
All in all an awesome set up!!

All around great floor cleaner
on November 1, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
I’ve been using this for about two weeks and now and really wanted to put it through the paces before reviewing and I must say the Tineco passed everything I came up with.
First impression was great. Easy to assemble and came with an extra roller, cleaning solution and an awesome docking station.
The docking station was a nice touch as it keeps residual moisture (from use) off the floor, charges the unit and provides storage for everything.
Run time...I get about 30 minutes per charge, the box says around 35 so no issues there. Recharges in a couple of hours.
Has an LED display that is easy to read and makes operating it simple. Oh and it talks to you, battery use, bin getting full...it tells you everything.
No issues at all cleaning my linoleum, vinyl plank flooring and hardwood. Did a really good job of getting all the water up and the floor dries in a matter of minutes.
Handles pet messes with ease.
Lightweight and super easy to move and control. My 7 yo loves to use it!!
A must have for any home!!

Sharp Monitor with Cool Aesthetic
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
This monitor delivers when it comes to picture quality & response time. Hooked it up to my Dell G5 gaming laptop with zero issues (plug & play) and all of my Steam games play just fine. I have some really old star wars games on discs and (when using an usb Blu-Ray optical drive) this monitor handles them easily with no seen rendering issues.
Sleek design is sharp to look at and the curved monitor really helps me when I’m gaming as it allows me to see what’s happening in my peripheral view.
Let’s talk about the cool factor that comes with this monitor. Just sitting on my desk alone it’s an awesome conversation piece and goes well with my house decorations/color!! Just awesome all around!!

Finally! A full size mouse that’s comfortable, has a good response time and can hold up to hours of play time.
I’ve used a lot of wireless mice in my time but this one is by far and wide the best, most comfortable one I’ve ever used!

Solid Gold
on August 15, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
I was nervous about using one of these for some weird reason but after 2 weeks of treatment I honestly can’t imagine living without it. Every day after work I look forward to using this device. I’m on my feet 10 hours a day walking 7+ miles and this is a godsend for achy feet and legs. Has 5 different massage heads and three different speeds which pretty much guarantees every muscle group gets worked.
A few minor complaints, the handle is large and takes some time to get used to it’s size (it’s where the battery is at) and it (handle) could be longer to help work back muscles.
Massager does have a BT connection but I don’t really use it nor do I use the companion app as it’s not something I like or will use regularly. The massager works just fine without connecting it to a device.
All is all a great percussion massager that delivers on muscle/soreness relief.

Great gaming laptop
on July 27, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
This is my first laptop that’s gaming centric and I have to say I really like it.
Set up was fairly easy for me and I was able to get steam up and running with relative ease. I haven’t noticed any issues with lag, connection or pixelation. Boots up relatively easy and I can’t get 6-7 hours on the battery before needing to charge it.
My only complaint is that even though it has a camera, there’s no facial log in capability.

Where can I find a best buy which sells referbished PS3?

I seen some on the web site but they are gone.
After speaking to the Geek Squad at my NorCal Best Buy the refurbished ones are gone within 24 hours of hitting the store, you have to be lucky and in the store when it hits because they are few and far between.

does the ps3 runs hot if u play it for hours

Yes, however, if you keep it in an open area, away from direct sunlight and nothing obstructing the vents, it will be fine.

Can you return a ds game if you don't like it?

Unfortunately no, it has to be defective or broken. Sometimes it depends on the cashier as well, some do some don't; but official policy is above.

do you sell this item

is there somekind of item that connects to your tv or gaming system (ps3) that prevents lagging, and keeps you from having trouble on getting online and not having to try repeatedly just to get online to play a game
If your having issues connecting, you need to dedicate the wireless router solely to the gaming system. At my house I have 1 computer and it's plugged in via ethernet cable and the PS3 which runs off the WiFi (Linksys "G" series router). If you run too many items off the WiFi, it's going to run slow. If you can't/won't do it, make sure all other items that are connected to the router are TURNED OFF, don't put them to "sleep", they must be turned of or disable the WiFi while your gaming. Only other option is to upgrade your router, but be careful, WiFi routers that can do this cost big $$$$.

what is the difference in a xbox 360 and a playstation 3 which is better and why

Here are the pros and cons for both

PS3 Pros- Up to 250GB HD, Free Online gaming via PSN, BLURAY PLAYER, Netflix Compatible up to 1080p graphics/7.1 surround sound, no red ring of death, easily upgradable HD.

PS3 Cons- Price tag (up to $350 250 GB HD), still a brick weight wise, since online is free some issues with gaming.

XBOX Pros- Up to 150 GB HD, much cheaper, lighter system, up to 1080i 5.1 surround sound, Netflix compatible, easily upgradable HD, a lot easier to mod and upgrade and XBOX live is far superior for online gaming, however it costs up to $60/year depending on package

XBOX Cons- RED RING OF DEATH (sure it's replaced for free but no gaming for 15-30 days while it's getting repaired SUCKS!) Only plays DVD's.

What it really boils down to is what you are going to do with the system; If you are a hard core online shooter gamer, XBOX would be the way to go. If your a medium to light online gamer go with the PS3, a lot less problems and it's got a Blu-ray. If you get the XBOX your going to spend an additional $100+ for a blu ray, why not take that additional $$$ and put it towards a PS3.

I own a PS3 and I play very few online games. I've had it for 3 and half years, keep it well ventilated and clean and I've never had any issues with it. I highly recommend it over the XBOX.

what is a DNS error

im having trouble connecting my ps3 to the internet and it tells me that it is a DNS error. What is that?
If you are using wireless internet make sure that the PS3 is only system hooked up to it. If you are running multiple computers and gaming systems it can cause it to run slow and generate the error message. Only other way is to turn off (not standby) all other "systems" running. Hope this helps.
