Yes, Handbrake can do that.

Congratulations indeed!! You are are literally in the books! 👍👏👏

Glad to hear that this was resolved. I typically turn off automatic software updates for my devices. I know that I may be over cautious on that, but it saved me from downloading the disastrous Sonos upgrade last year among others. If it is not a security issue, it might be wise to give it a...

This thread has gone haywire. Surprised it has not been shut down yet.

Food for thought: A 5.1 system was the norm, like, 25 years ago. Since you are going through the effort of setting up a HT today, independent of what brands you choose to go with, you should seriously consider upgrading the existing 5.1 system to Atmos. That would require adding additional...

If you use Apple TV, you can use the Apple Remote to control your TV (On/Off, volume control, usings apps, etc.). It works perfectly with my TV (Samsung). So no need for using two remotes.

Easy does it. One BIG advantage of Sonos.

I used to own Anthem products years ago. At the time they were considered tops.

You are right. A minority stake plus exclusive distribution rights. Goer Dynamics highlights its Intelligent Manufacturing System on its website. Connecting the dots.

At my first audio show I was amazed by the sheer number of manufacturers and wondered how so many could stay afloat, let alone prosper. Now the landscape is shifting: giants like Harman and Masimo are scooping up respected high‑end brands, and even boutique names such as Gryphon have been...

I am using two JL Audio F113 but I am sure there are other good options.

Dance Off sucks, you are right. :) However, since you like EDM and already have a good size room, consider adding a couple of subs (if you have not done so yet). BTW, I listen to and enjoy EDM music with the 101E (plus two subs).

That’s a tough one. But I am going to guess: 1) the European/Japanese makers of high end audio Audio will see their US market share decline because their already expensive products will be become even more so , 2) the sales of US manufacturers (assuming that they are still made in USA) will...

Hopefully you have better luck that I had with NAD. I had a NAD equipment that went bad after warranty. It turned out that it was cheaper to buy a used one than paying for the repair.

I didn’t stop caring about fidelity—I just stopped worshipping it. High-end audio forums are full of people who seem to have forgotten why they got into this in the first place. Alan Parsons said it best: “Audiophiles don't use their equipment to listen to your music. Audiophiles use your music...
