I love that beast in the middle with the single giant blue VU meter...whatever it is.

This my friend is a ToneWinner AD-7300PA 2.0 Version Hi-End Audio 7-Channel Professional Amplifier (7X300W@8Ω)

Love that Amp!

Man I hate wall warts. The router has one and the OIT has one, so they are both on different UPS's.
I have an old oak dining table my AVR & Reciever/other stuff sit on. It has two UPS underneath. What with 4 disc spinners, 2 pc's, router, speakers, printer, whatever I spent half a day yesterday rerouting wires. It's still a mess under there but a little less so.. My wife justs shakes her head. lol.
I did get some wiring channel between the disc spinner shelf and the AVR recently though to hide all those cables.

Tying to see where I can jam in another tv. It's a 4K from years ago but sitting around doing nothing so I want to use it for my monitor if I can figure this out.
Move some disc spinners off the shelf? IDK. What a mess.

Oh yeah the pc's/AVR are all tied together with an HDMI switch, then there's the KVR switch, both on my desk with my monitor. Jeez Louise. Temporarily moved the printer.
This tv is a heavy 4K one from years ago, but it's sitting around doing nothing so I want to use in the audio room. My 4K monitor has not been cooperating well lately.
Looks great to me!!
 
Onkyo seems to be leading the way with installing Dirac software in their receivers. That said, the Dirac Live Bass Control component is not included and requires an extra licensing fee for the RZ70. Still cheaper than Denon or Marantz if you want Dirac...

Wow, I'm way out of the loop here. Dirac Live is simply bass control? I guess I didn't know what it was. Assumed it was calibration program to compete with Audyssey.

Dirac Live Bass Control component is extra. The Onkyo TX-RZ70 comes with built-in Dirac Live Room Correction Full Bandwidth. Dirac Live Bass Control is to improve the subwoofers. Personally I do not care for this extra

Dirac Live Bass Control​

Features:​

  • Supports unlimited subwoofers
  • Corrects sound gaps and bass decline
  • Enhances bass crossover area for smoother reproduction
  • Utilizes machine learning for phase co-optimization

Yup, full bandwidth is $349.00 for the license if you want it for Denon or Marantz...Onkyo already has it!

There is a newer addition to Dirac for Onkyo and other AVR's for bass control, at no additional charge. Seems like Onkyo/Dirac haven't worked the bugs out yet from what I read on AVSForum.
The AVR's that include Dirac Live includes this bass control: the paid version covers multiple subs. Which is useless for me as both sub ouputs are tied together.

@GOS Dirac Live is NOT simply bass control. I do all my room calibrations of all speakers with Dirac Live, using the pc app, although their is a phone app of much lesser capability.

You are 100% right my friend

What I should add is that on The RZ50 both sub outs are tied together. Not sure what they did with the newer RZ30 and RZ70, but what from little I've read the dual sub outs are separately controlled.
But, for me, paying additional costs are unwarranted, and I only have one sub anyway at this time.
 
I didn't get started until about noon, but I was able to replace the corroded RCA connectors on my Marantz CD400 with gold-plated ones. Ain't they purty? All shiny and sparkly.

They are mounted on three Bakelite pieces, and the originals were installed as rivets. Which meant they were a real bear to get out without cracking that old plasticky stuff. But I got them out and replaced. No more worries about corroded contacts with this baby. I also replaced the screws that hold the Bakelite pieces with locking hardware instead of a staking compound like they had.

I've got a few days with other stuff that needs to be done (like running that new HDMI cable and installing two new ceiling light fixtures), so it'll probably be Wednesday or Thursday before I can get started on recapping this little critter.

I'm also going to have to rig up a couple of wooden blocks to go on either side of my Esoteric Surface Noise Reducer. It has a full-width front panel (I cut the rack mount holes off but kept all the graphics) but the unit itself is only about half that size, with the power cord coming out one side. Since I'm going to be stacking up several pieces of gear on top of it, I'll need to make a stable base for them. And the woodshop is in my unheated garage. It's not a big job, but it'll be at least an hour out there.
