I tried this earlier today with poor results.
The purchase appeared to go thru, but after almost an hour the site still showed no key and asked me to check back later.
I contacted support, who responded promptly.
The email stated that they had flagged the purchase for manual fraud review.
And...
I've done 5-10 Unifi networks (some with UDM, some wireless-only) and have mixed feelings. It works really, really well most of the time. Not the cheapest, not the fastest, but Unifi can be highly reliable with very solid performance. Software QA remains a concern, with previously fixed bugs...
AudioScienceReview's two reviews of Anthem AVRs confirm this. They also show that the DACs are the best part of the Anthems. IOW, an external DAC probably will be bottlenecked by your Anthem's amps.
Seems that the center channel's going to sit inside a box and also block most of the front opening. This will create another resonant chamber, and affect bass loading. Especially if the speaker has ports other than on the front.
How many center channels are designed with this placement in...
So $200ish, average 1TB/day, capacity no issue. At 140GB/hour, speed needs to beat 40MBps, so any reasonable SSD's fine there.
See Intel S3710s on Ebay. Even if 50% used (unlikely!), they have tons of writes left. The $100ish 400GB model is rated for 8PB written, so ~23 years at 1TB/day...
Audiophonics has affordable Ncore MP options. Because the MP is a fully integrated board, performance should match the Hypex datasheet. Shipping cost may be an issue for US buyers.
I set up a wireless bridge with Loco M5s (IIRC) on a UPS at least 4 years ago. The users don't contact me about updates very often, so I've seen over 400 days of uptime.
Will the clients be able to reply?
Always worth a try. Your WAPs should overpower outside interference until your clients get pretty far away.
Put any devices that will connect reliably onto 5Ghz. Because wifi timeshares, congestion is a slippery slope. One slow device hurts every other...
1. Both. Use a syncing tool (preferably with versioning) to mirror your folders to another device with a normal filesystem. (You don't want to fuss with a proprietary file format when you need to get back online. Just hook up to another PC & read your data.) These backups will run quickly...
Remember that this is not all-in-one hardware. Want better wifi? Keep the router & add or replace a WAP.
Thinking longer term, I'd look at the new 10X over the ER-X models. The ER-X has only 256MB of storage, which already gets a bit tight with firmware updates. Needing to purge the backup...
Audioholics & Soundstage both reviewed the XL7F a while ago. IIRC, Audioholics got okay measurements, recognizing that a pair of 4-driver towers sells for $500. OTOH, Soundstage's NRC results were exceptionally awful. Quality-control issue? Regardless, I hope they can do better with an...
This, this, this! I really like UBNT, but you'd be crazy to try their software immediately after release.
"Stable" EdgeOS v2+ was bricking the ER-X series for a while until it was pulled a few weeks ago. Not only did QA miss this, they took some time to respond to forum posts before removing...
Actually, this thread is exactly Murphy's Law, just not in the terms you currently understand it.
Most people seem to believe that ML is a cute name for a fancy form of "shit happens." But Murphy was a real guy who learned expensive lessons in USAF research. Rather than "shit happens," ML...
Yet you don't want to pay for redundancy.
Yet you don't like the nearly unanimous advice that experienced users offer, because it increases the cost of your project.
And that's far too late to start making your backups.
Storing 30TB still isn't dirt cheap, and you admittedly don't have the...
The 5" UniQ seems to measure better than the bigger versions. Stereophile's measurements of the R700 & Q900 show this, though there's also the R versus Q series issue. Regardless, note that KEF used the 5" in the Blade2. Pretty safe bet that decision was made purely on performance.
If you're...
See Wirecutter for the broadest comparison. FWIW, I bought a few sets of the Panasonics when they were the top pick and consider them amazing for $12ish.
Coaxial is a plus for close-distance use, and KEF's coax drivers are very, very good. ELAC's UB5 models might be competitive, but they're passive and probably too big for you. Genelec's coaxials are too $$$.
My first thought was the new Kali monitors, but they're about the same size as the...
