JohnJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thank You Willy, but that's been over since about 2007 when someone named barry changed my insurance and stopped my every six week infusion. Had to start taking a new drug that I hate but don't have a choice it keeps me alive and disturbs my sleep. Had enough chemicals so da*n, I started taking a shot of bourbon on those nights. Can't do it like in my former life but I've not gone over two shots except one or two times and I still wasn't inebriated. I can rationalize, know it's stinkin' thinkin' but I'm good with it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 moderation is the key. Sounds like you are doing fine. Sucks about the script that doesn't agree with you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have a question related to... hang on to your seats .... audio Am noticing that using the sat tv as a music source, it is very bright sounding compared to CD or computer streaming. Do they tweak things? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they tweak things? Assume that you checked tv settings and the receiver that you're hooked up to? Good cables from tv to receiver or amp? Somebody will know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Using vintage equipment... I am using the headphone jack to RCA same as I do with the computer. Same input on the receiver. The sound is different 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thank you too Eldon, that was long ago and if you've ever read the opening pages of Bill W.s book you know rock bottom took a long time to get to. That's what it took for me to be able to change. Don't think about that stuff much anymore at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they tweak things? I think the same thing, it mostly sucks, sounds lifeless to me, flat. I tried every setting and it's not good, sat tv for movies sounds much better so I guess it's a really compressed signal I guess for other things. For normal listening I use a laptop, I was using the headphone jack out but it did not match up well with the receiver inputs well, would have to crank yup the laptop volume to get a decent signal. So I tried HDMI out of the laptop to the receiver and the sound improved greatly for streaming music. I do subscribe @ $10 a month for no commercials and a higher bit rate, perfect no, but plenty close enough for us, considering the convince, like having a warehouse full of music in the laptop. 15 minutes ago, JohnJ said: You know how it goes, I brought it on myself, now I gotta pay the price! Some people grow up Some people just grow It's how it is, we always bring it in ourselves. I'm stuck between growing up and just growing, I am grown up enough, had to take a few steps back, to enjoy myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet someone has already done it. They do nitrogen infused cold coffee here and I'm sure other places. It gives a slight sweet carbonation feel to the coffee. It's definitely different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
