  • Sounds like you are sticking to stereo speakers, so your output is less important, as all the extra fanciness is in support of surround sound stuff. Honestly, you need to make sure the receiver you choose will convert well to stereo from whatever video sources you are using; not all of them do.

    I would suggest that you scope out Schiit Audio. Not necessarily to buy, although their equipment is awesome, but it is quite educational, as they have a more stripped down, step-wize approach to features. It might give you some ideas you hadn’t considered before.

    It is unfortunately not as easy to make a good 2 chennel stereo that plays well with modern video as it should be. Partially due to physical separation, but partially due to compatibility, I just got a decent sound bar/ sub-woofer combo to hook up to my TV and kept my stereo for music and such.

    Good luck and happy listening!

    If the oil and soy doesn’t work, try cheap beer. Will get earwigs and slugs for sure, but might work on other parts as well. They also work better if you sink them into the ground so their lip is almost level with the soil or cover. Makes it more likely that they will find it and fall in.




  • It is just little tricks for entertainment/practice. So you could do the table smack, but it would be obvious you were casting a spell to do it, and the mark would fade after the spell wore off. It was never really meant to have serious utility. There are feats that can help remove component requirements, which could help with stealth, as it’s usually the verbal/somatic bits that give you away. That being said, being able to douse/light candles and lamps is pretty handy. You can temporarily mark locations or routes for allies, or use the same to confuse or mislead someone, at least within the hour duration. There are probably tons of more creative uses out there if you do a little forum digging.





  • The photosites are continuously reading the light falling on them. When you take a picture, the system takes discreet readings of those values for the length of your shutter speed. However it can only handle the information from a portion of the sensor at a time. So it reads in sequential stripes. The longer the exposure time the more of a chance that the sensor or the subject has moved before the camera reads all the stripes.
