Mmm it was a tinge of OCD creeping in, wanted to keep the quality of cabling in sync with the audio cables.
Was once a cable skeptic but having observed significant improvement first-hand, I now believe it can be a worthwhile upgrade, depending on how the cables react with your individual components. Apparently more silver emphasises the treble end etc. But also well aware that your ears can play tricks!
Was at a place yesterday picking up some records I got professionally cleaned... The guy had cables running everywhere as thick as your arm, made by a Taiwanese company (Telos) at $3K a pop, for which he is the Australian distributor... He was breaking in two sets of speakers, a $100K Tidal pair and a cheap $40K pair of Vimbergs which were hooked up. They were only really bookshelf speakers (although large ones) - he put on a demo track designed to stretch the speakers and I have never heard anything like it, the depth of sound (including bass) coming from comparatively small speakers was unbelievable. I thanked him for cleaning the records but said he probably wouldn't see me again unless I won Tatts.

Better than 3 for $700 but since I've never heard of Kordz I assume they're inferior to something like Monster, which do the job but are hideously overpriced.Now do you feel better
There's a lot of markup in them so the salesman's not doing his job if he doesn't try to hit you up for some cables after you've bought what you came for.
No one going to talk about Dew wanting to send Rowell back on the ground against medical advice after he injured his shoulder? This isn’t a 32yo veteran with multiple premierships being asked to play on in a grand final. It’s an 18yo kid playing his 4th game. Massive red flag against Dew in my opinion.
Whoa, expensive cables. I've heard of Kordz but never heard them. I tend to use gold plated interconnects as gold is such a good conductor. I don't think you have to go to the ridiculous priced cables but there is a clear difference when you get into the good cables.
You need to buy a record cleaning machine, or try this: https://www.teresaudio.com/haven/cleaner/cleaner.html I just bought a cheapo turntable and modified a vaccum cleaner crevice tool and cleaned records like that for years until I bought a machine.
Bookshelf speakers can do amazing bass but they tend to be the expensive ones. I remember once helping a guy move some bookshelf speakers, can't remember the brand but very well regarded and expensive, and those things weighed a tonne. Decent bass though. I have floor standers which have useable bass down to 8Hz and I can't move them without a trolley.
Good equipment can be costly but hifi tends to last a long time so can be worth it.
Mind you, a doco series on TV is not exactly demanding on sound.

- firstly, make sure you have the Amazon App downloaded onto your phone and sign into your account.
- stand next to your TV
- place your finger at the top of your phone and swipe down twice. It should bring up a list of things you can access (Wifi, Sound, Bluetooth, auto rotate, etc).
- swipe to the left and it will bring up a new page/list (Scan QR Code, Mobile Hotspot, etc). Look for a button called "Smart View."
- Select this button and turn on.
- From there it'll automatically bring up a list of devices it can connect to. Your TV should appear on this list.
- Select your TV and connect.
- Once selected, your phone should be mirrored onto your TV. Select the Amazon App and start watching.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I've probably missed something in the exchange but if he's got a Smart TV can't he just just download the android Amazon app on the TV and just select and stream that way ? Why the need to mirror or cast from his mobile ? (Or doesn't he have wi-fi ?)
Thanks Ian i were able to link my devices an TV showing connected to my Galaxy A20 but does not mirror my phone.
It gives a couple of trouble shoots with the last one being:
"or your TV may not support screen mirroring"
This may be my case as my TV 10 years old, or just that technology is alien to me even with the best instructions
Yeah Amazon comes standard on many smart TV's, but i have no idea if they come on all of them. I use Apple TV at home (which probably sounds strange coming from a long-term android user, but I love it).

Yeah its likely that your TV is too old. Which is surprising because it works on the the Samsung I bought in late 2009. It must depend on the model.
Hi. In ep 3 we saw benny back in melbourne doing some rucking practice with an unfamiliar face. Who was that?
If you can dig out a model number it should be pretty easy to search goggle and find out what it can do.
It’s like anything hi-fi or indeed tech, there is a sweet spot after which things operate by the law of declining returns. I’m done spending now and set to enjoy what I have for 20 years (but I’ve said that before).
Looked at cleaners and even considered buying one of the $4K ultrasonic jobs, then on-selling when I’m finished. My interest in vinyl is only really to transfer some rare tracks to digital (have a Tascam analog-to-digital deck on order). Turntable was the best I could reasonably afford (Rega Planar 6) and I might not even keep it. Depends if I get the vinyl bug. I’m essentially a digital man, everything else is run from Roon Server to three rooms.
Yeah me too. I have an older non-SMART Sony HD tv which has heaps of HDMI inputs and does a cracking job so I just added an Apple Tv box to it and it works super. I have dozens and dozens of apps on the Apple TV-Sony, including lots of live streaming shows from overseas e.g. NYC ABC Channel 4 News live, NYC CBS News live, NFL, NBA, MLB, CBS Sports, the PGA Tour's GolfTV, Optus for EPL etc etc. ....hepas....so I'm not using any mirroring or casting. Everything is super clear HD 1080. Almost as good as 4K.
Buying the Apple Tv box gave me Apple TV+ for free, and buying a small amount of stuff on Amazon they gave me Amazon Prime for free as well.
Agree on Peggy jumping up and down, loved seeing that.
Also, I don’t mind the swearing at all. Yes, it’s not overly creative, but folks gotta imagine these locker rooms before / after a game, with testosterone running rampant. Aggressive talk, aggressive play. It’s part of clubland and I personally find it entertaining.
