  1. Cory suggested that I consider the ic-650 instead of the THX-5002 as in ceiling surrounds with my Jubilees
  2. She seems to be behaving well on the videos and from trainer reports but the correction for counter surfing and aggression toward strange humans and animals had darn well be worth a WHOLE lot of $$$1/2 large. At about 8 months old Riley was attacked and neck bitten by neighbor's dogs that were not leashed while we were on a walk. She has been anti-social since. I hope the trips to tennis courts, Lowes, PetSmart and several malls has greatly reduced her anxiety. And yes, I informed that neighbor that I carried and if that happened again he would have 2 dead dogs. While witnessing the act he denied it took place and the wife, also a witness, was all about apologies. He and I didn't quite come to terms but on every other walk he saw the holster. Yes, for you 'others' I meant it,
  3. https://herbiesaudiolab.com/ Butcher Block Acoustics recommended I use threaded gliders from Herbie's to move the rack on carpet and tile. They have other type glides as well.
  4. Hired an electrician. He scratched his head at the 240 wires but what he was charging I just had him go up in the attic and tap into the living room outlets run. $250 for the drop but he responded within a couple of hours on a Saturday.
  5. Off Leash Training San Antonio Megan is GREAT
  6. 2 weeks into a 3 week stint https://olk9sanantonio.gingrapp.com/front_end/click/W1XPXuyorg https://olk9sanantonio.gingrapp.com/front_end/click/TOj2KPD20b
  7. I'll have to pull the switch to get a good take on the run but it looks like 2 runs of romex running thru the light switch box and split out with two hots on one side of the switch and one on the other
  8. I think I saw one but will check tomorrow in light.
  9. Will do that in daylight. If one? If two can I open one, separate and cap then wire the outlet normally assuming I don't lose power to something?
  10. Just did, 120 each to ground.
  11. I am fairly confident however this is a new to me house with several subpanels and poorly marked. I will get an electrician in when. The cameras, NVR, HDMI baluns and extenders are to be installed first of the week so I can always run an extension cord to the UPS that is powering the rack as the extension is heavy duty and the equipment doesn't really draw much. Modem, gateway, 16 channel NVR with 9 POE cameras, NAS and 24 port POE switch.
  12. The other side of the wall is the master bathroom vanity. This is directly (2-3 ft) below the closet light switch.
  13. I have a closet where I am putting my networking and home security equipment. The closet has no electrical outlet but there is a single gang blank off that has 2 white, 2 back and a ground. The 2 whites are twisted together with a wire nut as are the black wires. At first I thought no problem either I will pigtail into the wire nuts or just connect all 4 to the available lugs on the outlet. I checked voltage and found 243 vac from neutral to hot. What's up here?
  14. I sometimes miss the 70's early 80's but not so much late 80's on. I don't be politically correct. In the life after I spend a good deal of time around the military and I know that I wouldn't last 5 minutes with current generation...individuals are still pretty much the same as humans when one on one but the institution is letting the country down.
  15. Looking at options in case I need to go in-ceiling (sigh) for surrounds. What model is the most bestest? I am confused on the 502 L / 502 S Don't laugh..to go with Jub / horizontal 396 / Jub front stage or to add if I go 7 channel
  16. There are some reasons I live in S TX Brunswick, Maine Adak, Alaska Keflavik, Iceland (for 3 years)
  17. Should I will send my unqualified but eager resume. I promise to answer the phone.

    What I Got Today!

    A pair of 396s. One is supposedly customized to be mounted horizontally (used as center) but there is no marking to indicate which one. The invoice noted one as "custom". Packing list calls out "horizontal horn need to be horizontal at the minimum IDEALLY basge on the grill needs to be horizontal and centered on the bottom". Typed as printed. Haven't de-boxed yet but both badges are centered on the vertical bottom as they are on normal 396s. So I unboxed them. No markings to identify the modified speaker. Flashlight thru grill ID'd the changed HF horn. Pulled off the grill and yes one has the horn mounted 90 degrees off under (or over) the port. The emblem will not be so easy to move as claimed. It is glued, not plastic riveted and there is foam glued to the inside of the grill which will have to be pulled back on one horizontal and one vertical edge and then re-glued which will be difficult to maintain straight edges without bunching. I am thinking that the center 396's horn should be mounted with the bottom of the HF in line with the bottom of the Jub's HF and the port at the bottom. Just tidbits for anyone considering using a 396 as a center. I do appreciate Klipsch taking the time to set up the mill to modify the motorboard. Is this STILL a KLIPSCH?

    Check out Das Boot submarine movie and the scene with the Dentist's niece tapping on the office aquarium in Finding Nemo. I popped a few drywall screws during Nemo.

    Robin Hood etc....

    I have a mattress stashed with what little money that actually belongs to me and is not Monopoly money. Should have bought uranium

    That is all they invest...other people's money. Well, except for that tidy sum they bargain with.

    What I Got Today!

    I got to listen to my Jubs today. Nowhere near set up. Optical from TV / Spotify into the Parasound pre, Xilica and 2 Parasound amps. Temporary setup awaiting other things but I am greatly impressed. I was expecting a loss of bass due to room (closed on left and open on right) but I can hear and feel this. Noise deadening shades for the 9 windows come Tuesday. In the end this might be good.
