In many applications sound bars are fine. I have a friend just got one for a small room. Perfect.

When in Lima, a Kewpee burger is a must..."Hamburg - pickle-on-top - makes your heart go flippity-flop" Double cheesburger with mustard, ketchup, relish, onion, lettuce, and olives...for breakfast. Had to beat the eclipse crowd. Mark

Since my Canon 1DX outright died. Yeah I am surprised too. The Nikon D800 takes over coming soon, with only 16,500 clicks, effectively a new camera. I have the D700 and love it. More production camera options for me. Man I need a bigger camera bag.

Fosi speaker/amp switcher with power meters: Interesting! How will you use this?

Speaker vs. speaker & amp vs. amp comparisons. One can switch via remote control & equalize power in a measurable & repeatable way. If I want to equalize a speaker comparison via output volume, I have an iPhone AND a Umik-1 calibrated microphone to work "backwards" from the speakers to the amps.
Maybe I'm not quite through reviewing audio equipment yet...

My wife wanted a soundbar for our great room TV (not the theater). So, I decided to give this a try. View AttachmentWish me luck... Mark This arrived yesterday, and I hooked it up. Overall, I like it - but more than that...my wife likes it. I have a feeling we'll be getting another for the TV in her sewing area. I feel like the volume is a bit more "touchy"...a single click up or down makes a big difference in volume. But, it's decent...and I can tell it's got more bass thanks to the sub. Mark

And now Nikon is in the cinema camera business. (Nikon just bought Red.) It will be interesting to see if they keep the two separate... Or if we start seeing Red cinema cameras that work full-auto with Nikon Z lenses... The Sonys are my work horses but I want to go Nikon for my pleasure shoots mostly.

You guys are reminding me that I still have a canon AE1 body And three lenses.
These days I have no use for any of that stuff unless it gets windy in my office when I open the window. They’re great for keeping papers from blowing around in the room while my smart phone takes pictures that are good enough to keep me happy and to share great fun with that stuff when I was younger.

Battery grip for my D800. The balance on the D800 is a bit nicer and lighter than the D700. I am going to enjoy both really.

Fond memories! A good friend of mine had an AE-1 that he let me use often. Still have some prints of pictures taken with that camera.

It might be one of those "Coke vs Pepsi" situation, but I switched from Canon to Nikon when I went from film to digital and never looked back. I have a D90 a D500 and several Nikon lenses. Again it makes sense the company in a lawsuit gets purchased. The irony is uncanny. I really hope Nikon takes what RED has to offer. Competition is stiff, and many are not sold that RED is defacto as it once was including me. Blackmagic, Panasonic, Sony, Canon, and others not mentioned are on my radar. I got my first whiff of Cinema purpose with the Canon C100. Still a great workhorse on the cheap. Blackmagic just introduced a whole new line of cameras, and NAB show was the venue to be. Reality is DaVinci Resolve is the workflow I am using and a camera with BRAW would get it done. Times be a changing and Adobe does not have the landscape to itself. Superior color grading on DaVinci Resolve is one reason why it is the sweetheart of Hollywood and pros alike.

Yes, I have great prints taken at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Also put the Zoom lens to good use at the Brooklyn aquarium with a dolphin show where they put those guys through the paces zoom made for some really cool shots over there and I still have those. (I have all of them actually! )

Just read this: "As a final step of the acquisition process, RED’s President Jarred Land and RED’s founder James Jannard became advisors. Keiji Oishi from Nikon’s Imaging Business Unit, assumed the role of the new CEO of RED, and Tommy Rios, Executive Vice President of RED, moved into the role of Co-CEO." So, RED kind of remains its own company, but with a Nikon corporate guy as the new CEO. What can possibly go wrong? 😄

I've been thinking about building open baffle dipole subs for many years. By all accounts they play really, really well with Magnepans. I'm neither equipped nor inclined to woodworking, but my niece's husband is a carpenter and I saw him a couple months ago and he said he could build the cabinets for me. I don't have a price yet, but definitely cheaper and easier than shipping flat packs from GR Research from TX to PA and assembling myself. So I ordered the parts for two three-high subs with plate amps. I hope my FedEx guy does his squats over the next week or so!
