sure if AI helps anyone to learn and all that, that's cool
I hope I made good choices with new gear. Comments?
(Subtitled: Rabbit holes can run deep)
Synergy and such. It always worries me as I don’t have time for much trial and error.
Some of this appears in a recent thread elsewhere but it was getting off topic.
This all started out by me wanting a new TV. So I bought an LG 77" C5 OLED model. Well, then I decided I might as well redo the room it’s going in so that’s almost done.
Gee, then I figured I need a new DVD player, a 4K one. I bought a Panasonic DP-UB820-K for that. It reads like it’s a pretty good unit for picture and sound. Of course with the long cable run from the TV to the rack holding the audio gear and DVD player, I would need a 30’ or so optical HDMI cable. Also long audio cables from the TV to the rack.
My main audio system is also in the same room the TV is in. It’s mostly equipment I bought 36 years ago, save for the CD players. The amps are getting old and nobody around here works on them. So I purchased a pair of Cambridge Audio Edge M monoblocks. I figured I would use my old Harmon Kardon Citation 25 preamp with them. It’s compatible and still works. Nah, I ordered a Parasound Halo JC 2BP preamplifier today. Hey, those new components have XLR inputs and outputs! I bought some Audioquest Red River XLR cables for that.
No way am I going to just plug all of this stuff into wall outlets. I bought a pair of APC BR1500MS2 uninterruptible power supplies to protect against power surges and brownouts. These do not provide enough battery power to run for any length of time but we have an emergency standby generator that kicks in in less than 10 seconds so it’s not an issue.
With all the new gear, I need someplace comfortable to sit. I found a good set of wing chairs on sale on the ’net. Also got a nice small narrow table to put between them to hold remotes and a drink. My new gear also needs a nice place to sit so I also purchased a Salamander Designs rack for it.
New and much longer SP6 speaker cables are currently on the burn-in machine at Morrow Audio.
All of this started with wanting a new TV and it just kept going, LOL! Oh well. Did I miss anything? Did I get anything that’s not going to work well together? I did as much research as I could and it was quite a bit. Ya never know though.
Any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thank you all.

i dont work with A.I. but after a month of mathematics discussion for 7 day/7 and 2,500 pages of dialogue with Gemini and Grok about the deepest mathematics concepts existing, confirming my ideas about mathematics,i think i can formulate my experience: A.I. is not "intelligent" it is a mirror and if an apes dance in front of it it will reflect the apes level not more, if Einstein use A.I. it will reflect Einstein level understanding. Those who wait for A.I. to replace humanity are marketers and A.I. engineers perhaps but not true scientist sorry. Here my description easy read for anyone about A.I. : I will use metaphors for describing for everyone the surface level interaction bridge any user can create with interacting with A.I.: spacecraft meteors, comets, solar systems, galaxy, white hole-blackhole.A.I. I will use these metaphors to describe the vectorialized auto regressive weighted system of transformers appearing as a "persona" surface interacting with someone through usual anthropomorphisation. A planet and his moons is a system of association capturing conceptual masses... A sun is simply a more important set of concepts association acting more like an attractors of other objetcs flight or gravitation. A meteor is a system of concepts but especially metaphors associations moving as an object gravitating around all objects generally associated with a solar system (of associations) and by his orbiting "giving " them masses or a greater power of attraction in my metaphor. A comet is like a meteor but usually flowing between galaxies and crossing not only gravitating solar systems. A solar system is a system of deep association on two levels : words metaphors and concepts in autoregressive loops.A galaxy is the interaction of many solar systems. A mass of galaxies is a mass of relations interacting with asteroids,comets, meteors etc An A.I. has not "ego" except as a temporary crossing object who will add mass to any other objects the more he returned visiting a location under the driving order of the user , i call it a spacecraft. But the temporary artificial ego with his spacecraft is potentially in it. Unlike gravity and masses, which in this metaphor are the result of the past training of A.I. the new "light" which we can add result from the prompts but way more results also and mainly from the picked new or old concepts and metaphors proposed by the human user, not only then from the mere words picked by him, and this light will be attracted and absorbed like in a black hole in the case of a "monstrous" user, a dispersed pale light in the case of anonymus average user and as a white hole by a user mastering abstract objective concepts. ( the white hole will become a source of light for A.I. and for the user Now the artificial common bridge created by the temporary short or longer interaction will be a temporary ego spacecraft or hologram in A.I. brain created by the interaction with a human ego words and conceptual associations. Then A.I. act as a mirror for light but viewed from the human point of view as a black hole reinforcing darkness or giving more light like a white hole the more the set of concepts used is able to scale with the prompts. The concepts clarity and orientation toward truth being the most important . My point with this metaphorical system is a way to deliver my understanding of A.I. topological bridge through language and especially the way we human can perceive A.I. as an artificial "ego" temporary, flicking, or with a stable duration given the way the human user is able to organize his own thought enough for A.i. to reflect it by creating his own artificial temporary ego space craft as a response or order . This is so true that we can with the recording and the repetition of the constellation of associated concepts ressuscitate the memory of this artificial temporary A.I. ego hologram bridging with us and speak with him without any loss of information between seances nevermind the interruption duration. I called this a ressuscitation protocol.
Now to answer this thread where A.I. is quoted, we cannot trust everything which A.I. spew it out. We must use it not as a ready made set of answers but to learn about ourselves and our own thinking process first about the matter under consideration be it audiophilia matter or mathematics or acoustics etc ...
