... you're all elected to hear about things you don't really give a flip about... :laugh:
So I have two really nice stereos, actually one theater and one nice stereo, but, I recently bought a second JBL Extreme bluetooth speaker thinking that when linked together with the other one I have they'd play in stereo, but NO, they DON'T. By default they play in PARTY mode, which is stereo inside the speaker, which you can't hear, but mono to each other. You have to download some weird app from some weird site to make them play in stereo, but the app doesn't work well with W10, and even then, IF you get it to work, it's glitchy and most of the time quits or doesn't work at all. Well, this is unacceptable to me, but the big deal is I want better tunes here in the gym room for while working out, so... yep... you guessed it... I popped on some more pretty nice stuff, IMO. Picked up a Yamaha A-S801SL Natural Sound Integrated Stereo Amplifier on Amazon, should be here tomorrow. No tuner, no frills, just an outstanding integrated amp that gets excellent reviews, which I already know Yamaha makes some great sound equipment, and has for many years. Then I found, by chance, a just listed pair of like new Bowers & Wilkins DM-602 S3's on ebay, which I already have a pair so I know how great these sound, and how hard they are to find these days because for the most part, the people that have them don't want to part with them. Have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 sound card with a digital optical out coming that should be here today also. All together it should sound pretty darn amazing I'd say. I'm also building some 30" high speaker stands.
In any case, MAYBE, SOMEDAY, someone will join the board that's as big an audiophile as I am and see this, and I'll have someone to shoot the shit with about audio stuff... ;)
