Purchased from Value Electronics about 5 years ago, this projector originally retailed for $14,999 and features top of the line Sony image processing, excellent optics, HDR and 3D support.
The unit as a whole has about 4500 hours, but the bulb is nearly new at ~500 hours. Mint condition.

I think Auto calibration is well worth it. Someone actually wrote a custom DLL for it so you can use other colorimeters. I was able to use my SpectraCal C6 (which is an i1 DisplayPro with the JVC software after doing so. You can read all about that here
I've been largely MIA focusing on my home build project, but I'm sorry to hear you ran into trouble. That's one of the reasons I have stuck with my AVM60.
The AVM70 also had poorer measured performance, which in a newer project seems tantamount to regression in technology.
My next AVP will...
I mostly wear Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Sport these days, but I used to wear Polo Explorer, which was my favorite scent of all time. I'll have to give that Dylan a smell next time i'm in a department store.
I just wanted to pitch in as one of the outgoing owners, and say that we were very careful in making sure we passed on the community to people we know will take great care of it. Colin and Jonathan are great guys, and I’m very confident that they will do wonderful things for the forum.

It's nice seeing the latest batch of these starting to come out. I'm getting antsy to upgrade my pre/pro, and this latest batch seems to finally have what i'm looking for (solid HDMI 2.1 support, future proofing).

Honestly, the hardware you get from Dell/HP etc is about as cheap as it gets, even worse than cheap DIY PC parts.
I purchase a few thousand machines a year for the employees at my company (I lead IT) and have seen the issues with these brands again and again.
I know it may not sound like a good...
@Robert Crawford - are you opposed to a PC that has lots of blinky lights? I ask because although typically used for gaming, the builders who make these PCs generally give you the best product for your dollar, with no crappy software to muck it up from day 1.
Something like this would be a...
I don't think it would matter a whole lot - but I like having more room for treatments at the screen wall personally. My theater design calls for a lot of acoustic treatments up there.

I just emailed the admin of that board letting them know registration was broken.
In that case, any NAS should suffice. If you’re planning to use the ATV as a playback device- that’s more complex. That usually requires transcoding on the NAS and a much beefier cpu
Jeff,
I would suggest you contact Dennis Erskine if you aren't already working with him, as he's an expert at most of this.
Generally speaking, if you cool via mini-split, the problem solves itself as there is no sound transmission over that as the unit has no vents.
Your ERV/HRV will require...
Another huge detractor from OLED for me is that you can't position speakers optimally. There's nothing quite like a center channel right in the middle of an AT screen. Yes, OLED can be close, but it's a compromise in audio vs the AT screen approach.
It depends on your car and the DAC. Moving from a terrible Bluetooth implementation to an aux input via DAC can be a massive upgrade. My Acura TL has great upgraded speakers in it, but the factory bluetooth is awful.
I use a Qudelix 5K to feed my car stereo via AUX input, and it's a dramatic...
@Ronald Epstein - are you using CarPlay?
Either way, without an analog input, you won't want to touch this. The DAC is built into the car and tied into the DSP engine that feeds all your speakers, so you can't do anything about it unless your system has an aux input available.
I have an NCore NC200 based amp powering my desktop setup. It's fine - sounds good, but it lacks that something special that the best amps have. It's a bit of bloom/tonal warmth in the lower registers that most folks associate with Class A/AB amps.
Hypex boards include the input circuit, so...
I've heard plenty of NCore amps and while they're just fine, I tend to listen to my D-Sonics a lot more. There's something about the input circuit in the NCore amps that doesn't do it for me.
