Would not play dics had to restart the player 4 to 5 times, then it would always come up as high frequency audio, and you would hear sound no video . The player was up to date panasonic was not much help. It was not a great experience.

@danielwander605 2 месяца назад

I'm a stickler for as clean as a rack as possible for both the front and back, but it's harder than it seems. Takes some time to figure out how to properly space everything for a nice clean look, and cable management is a whole other thing. That just takes experience and trying to copy what the pros do. Anyway, a solution definitely missing here is a patch panel. Terminate all those ethernet cables to the back of the patch panel and then do nice short runs to the switch. That'll definitely help clean up the front a bit.

@hatoraidcowboy 2 месяца назад

Yea I thought about a patch panel but didnt want to hassle with the wiring lol I actually coulda mounted the ethernet switch in the back but it would have posed some challenges. The back actually looks a lot better in person. I have some “loose” wires that arent tied off yet because I still have a few things I need to do. But it’s like 95% better than it was before lol Wiring is a pain though

@danielwander605 2 месяца назад

@@hatoraidcowboy Definitely progressing. I ultimately switched from zip ties to velcro ties even though I prefer the zips. It makes it easier to clean things up later on and make changes. It just takes time though and depends on how crazy you want to get into it. I started making all my own cables to get all the lengths as close to exact as I could. Learned how to solder and save a few dollars in the process. Most people probably are not looking to spend their time on this stuff though.

@tkcdac 2 месяца назад

What a perfect size rack. I am wondering why you have your tplink with the network cables in the front? You could turn it around and put a blanking plate over it?

@hatoraidcowboy 2 месяца назад

I had it that way on my previous rack but it caused too many wiring issues the way everything is setup

@chrislukowski1825 2 месяца назад

Do you plug your amps and subwoofers into the Panamax power conditioners, or do those go straight to the wall (either direct or via a "dumb" power strip)? They don't seem to offer many high current outlets on those models.

@hatoraidcowboy 2 месяца назад

I plug the amps into an Emotiva an Emotiva AC Line filter

@MyFatherLoves Месяц назад

You have an RMC 1 but don't use half of it because it's too buggy? Why didn't you return it? It's not dig or an attack on you or anything. Not sure when you bought it as the price has severely come down since release but it breaks my brain to think that it's being kept after spending so much money on it especially when there are other products in the exact price range with better audio, a working video section, and access to Dirac Live multi-sub DLBC i.e. the HTP-1 at $4k plus the full DLBC license at $500 (plus a UMIK) OR an open-box (unused) Denon A1H for $4.4k plus an $800 full Dirac DLBC license (and UMIK). I mean heck.... you could buy an open-box (unused) Denon x4800h (if you don't have more than 11-ch) and buy a license for DL DLBC, all for $2.4k and still be on-par with the RMC-1 for S/N, THD, and dynamic range. You don't have to answer. I'm not trying to attack you, question your money-decisions, or call you out in any way. That's totally your business. I just wanted to share that my brain is broken. haha

As soon as they announce their availability. The upgrade charge is pretty reasonable and less than the upgrading from AVRs that I used to do.

Are you using the beta firmware for your Diva? I was having a couple issues with the latest official firmware (0.80.0.14) and the beta version fixed it. The big one was I would sometimes partially sync and it would look green.

@RobZelinka 2 месяца назад

Very nice. Looks like you have the necessities covered. Down the road maybe upgrade to a managed switch from ubiquity. Do you have 15 amp or 20 amp power? If you have 20 amp power you may want to update the Panamax but a very nice and clean setup. Also, I prefer Velcro over zip ties as it limits all those small tiny hand cuts you get when you snip the long end after pulling it tight
