Powerline adapter problems?
Powerline adapters are super noisy. I attempted to use some on a remote streamer in my living room on a circuit with AFCI breakers. The powerline adapter would consistently trip the breaker. I ended up running cat6 to that location as a solution.- properlydeafened

Bob Dylan Says Streaming Has Made Music ‘Too Smooth and Painless’
I agree with this as well. My favorite artists have never been happy go-lucky well adjusted souls. BUT...I don't think artists with that emotional connection died out entirely with the advent of streaming...nor do I think they are all getting rich from their work and losing their vision.- properlydeafened

Bob Dylan Says Streaming Has Made Music ‘Too Smooth and Painless’
Oh don't get me wrong, I agree he's the best ever and I don't think I'll see anyone that equals him either in my lifetime. I have Freewheeling in mono...on vinyl...and Masters of War has been my favorite Dylan song for ~30yrs. I'd still be more impressed if he had named some artists he thinks...- properlydeafened

I'm 'only' 45 (coincidently also in Austin)...maybe we'll get some good deals on high end gear when the 'geezers' here are gone and nobody else is interested. ;) I think there may be more life out there than you think.

Anyone have experience using GIK’s design service?
GIK's design 'service' is obviously primarily a sales tool to assist people with reasonable recommendations...it's certainly no substitute for an in person consultation where solutions can be tried, measured, moved around, etc. That's not a criticism of GIK, it's just the reality of a sales lead...- properlydeafened

Anyone have experience using GIK’s design service?
I did several years ago. I sent REW sweeps as well. What came back was relatively generic...start with corner bass traps, add first reflections, etc. along with which products to consider. We did have a good discussion on full range vs limited corner bass traps and I followed their...- properlydeafened
