Buy metal post.
Yes, this is definitely a good solution. I actually wanted to put a chain link fence up but my neighbor wouldn't agree. It's a shared fence line. We also couldn't come to a conclusion about the extra cost of wood, pickets and metal posts, but I love the metal post idea!
there are many ways to extend post life , buying CCA treated posts is a good start, Copper-nap is one of the best but it does smell and should only be used away from the house, drying the wood then soaking the below ground post in copper nap, then painting on a roof sealant or wrapping in water and ice roofing from 4 inches above ground to 18 inches below ground , buying shrinkable sleeves that are sized for the posts, do not set in concrete, cover tops of posts with copper sheets, some do dry for months then soak for weeks or months in a barrel of unused oil and paint thinner and copper nap then coat with roofing, would last forever.
Great comment I dried painted with motor oil and then used a waterproof seal. These are some great additional ideas.
Biggest downfall with this unit (which I own) is not being able to fast forward or rewind when playing back recorded tv shows!
Not sure what's going on with your unit but for me it does fast Ford or rewind. When watching a recording that's still recording live it doesn't show you exactly where it left off the picture, but when it's pre recorded you can actually fast forward frame by frame?
You need a better mic, can't hardly hear you. Even with sound full blast.
Thanks for the update. I'm using the DJI osmo pocket built-in mic. Probably should have boosted the volume a bit more in post.
Excellent combination and this will go head to toe with hyped high $$$$ systems.
I've been using this set up for a few months now. Listening with Tidal high def enjoying my music more than ever.
Definitely there is improvement 👍
Can you view from iPad?
Yes but you must be on the same Wi-Fi as the tablo. You would not be able to watch from a remote location
i got the wiim mini and a fosi audio bt20a and wasn't happy with the sound. i bought a marantz pm6007 which has a good dac and now the sound is very nice. what i've been wondering now though, is have i wasted my money and should i have just bought the su1 instead? has anyone tried the cheap bt20a with the su1?
That Marantz amp has good reviews. Probably not a bad purchase. With my Denon amp, I only heard a bit of difference between the Built-In DAC in the WiiM mini and the su1 but it was better enough that I decided to keep it. Hopefully someone will respond. That's tried that combination you're asking about.
By the way, I've been considering getting a bt20 just to test it. based on the reviews, it's supposed to have great sound for the price. Thanks for giving your experience with it.
I heard you have to pay a fee in order to use the channel menu.
Since I bought that device I have not had to pay any fees. I use the menu to schedule my recordings and occasionally for watching live TV.
I was using the headphone out on my pc into a mini TEAC AM/FM receiver to drive my Energy RC Mini desktop speakers, and a cheap plate amp running a home-made sub. This setup improved dramatically when I built a new computer in 2019, proving to me that the signal path does indeed affect sound quality (new motherboard had much higher quality sound processing). Earlier this year I upgraded the sub plate amp to the Dayton DTA-100LF and noticed the bass tighten up nicely. Started reading… Enter the Fosi P3 preamp and V3 stereo amp for my RC Minis and wow, immediately noticed a big increase in clarity! Followed that up with the SU-1 DAC and my desktop is actually starting to sound quite “bright” considering my treble controls are still at neutral. Most normal people would not consider this a “cheap” setup, but I think it sounds incredible considering what it is. These RC Minis are incredibly clear when driven with a good signal, and listening really is a joy. I’d be interested if you noticed a change using a V3 or similar “high-value” class D amp in place of your receiver amp?
Interesting setup and as you said at a great price. I find it hard to believe that One of the low-cost stereo amps would have better sound than the denon AV receiver, but it would be interesting to test it. Now you need to get some floor standing speakers to hear that dac really shine.
@@cashwise7614 confession: I’ve already “upgraded” to a pair of V3 Mono amps from the original V3 I got last year. There was a slight change in the sound, it feels a bit “bigger” now, but I’m not a serious enough listener to really quantify the difference. I just like the idea of monoblock amps. Guilty! I’m not suggesting a budget class-D amp (or amps) would be an upgrade over your current setup, but given your channel name and your recent look at (and positive impression of) two of the most popular high-value low-dollar “audiophile” products on the market right now, plugging a V3 or similar budget amp into your system would be an interesting exercise. If anything, it would take up less space! One of the things I’ve heard fairly consistently about the V3 vs. V3 Mono is that the Mono has improved control in the bass region. Nobody seems to talk about Damping Factor anymore, that was a thing with Class AB amps back in my car audio days, but perhaps that’s a factor with the Monos? Just a guess. I have a HT setup with Energy RC-50 mains, RC-10 surrounds, and an RC-LCR center. I’m thinking about hooking the RC-50s up to my desktop setup just to see how they do. They’re not big towers by yesteryear standards, but they have two 5” woofers in vented floor standing cabinets. The tweeter in the full-size RCs is something they were really noted for back in the day, so I’m very curious how they’ll sound. Who knows… maybe the RC-10 bookshelves will end up crowding my desktop! lol. Thanks for your feedback.
@@superspeeder yes I should test one of those amps hi def streaming with good speakers has the most impact on the sound. but you can get 95% audiophile Soud without spending a fortune. When I was listening thu my alexa connected to the same amp and speakers the sound which I thought was good was muddy and bland compared to listening to a high def feed with my wiim and Dac with the same amp and speakers.
@@cashwise7614 looking forward to your future audio endeavours! 👍
Do i need U Tube also?
You Will need an internet connection to use your tablo. It will record and play TV from your antennae. KZread will be accessible via the web or a separate app on your smart TV,
Not sure about that. Ground Water will stay as long as it keeps raining and the post will absorb water up from the bottom.
Good point. If it's wet deep enough in the ground you could get some absorption up. over the long term when the ground dries out from everything I've read and studied the water will eventually flow down.
which remote would you use to operate it
When you purchase the tablo you'll download the app. In my case, I downloaded the app to my Roku so the Roku remote will open and work with the app. You can also control the app from your phone or Google or Apple TV. Depending what you have. You do need to be on the same Wi-Fi as the tableau to use it. I.e you can't watch from your phone if you're at work but you could at home. Take advantage of my $20 off coupon in the description if you decide to get the tableau. Thanks, Cash Wise
Does this work with tivimate
I have not tried it but it sounds like it can be done but maybe a bit technical. There are some posts on Reddit on how to do it, but again it looks a bit technical. Good luck!
how do you use the fire stick
Here are the hookup instructions from Amazon. Sorry it's kind of long. Put the batteries into the remote. Connect the USB cable to the power adapter and the Stick. Plug in the Stick to the TV's HDMI port. Use the HDMI extender cable if it's difficult to plug the Stick into the TV's HDMI port. Plug in the power adapter to the wall. Avoid plugging the USB cable directly into the TV. Turn on your TV and switch to the correct HDMI input. Tip: Use the remote that came with your TV to select the HDMI source or input. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to Wi-Fi and download the latest software update. Sign in with your Amazon account. Use your mobile phone or computer to visit the on-screen web address (amazon.com/code) and enter the verification code. Follow the on-screen questions to set up equipment control for devices like soundbars.
Great review, I think I’ll give this place a go next time I’m in Pattaya
Thanks, I think you will like the hotel and location.
thanks:)
You're welcome! Glad you found my video helpful
I really want to know how to hook up a Wiim Mini up to a SMSL SU1 and also connect a FOSI BT20a Pro to power my speakers. Could anyone break down the chain of how these connect?
Connect your optical out from your wiim mini to the back of the smsl Su1 optical in. Then RCA left and right jacks from the SML su1 to the back of your Fosse amp.
Thank you for a very good video. If you come to hotel and want to eat breakfast in the morning, how much does it cost pr day direct in the hotel ? In the last hotel i stayed in Amethyst i paid for each day i eat breakfast and it was 149 bath.
I have to be honest I didn't try the restaurant there although they do have one. There's a hot pot and coffee in the room so I would make some coffee there. Just outside the hotel there's a number of sit-down restaurants and food carts that I ate at. Glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry I don't have a specific answer to your question.
I wish I had found your video earlier. I would have loved to save the $25.00. I love y Tablo, for some reason I see a lot of low reviews, but I think most of them are from those that owned the older version. Since I have only had the new Tablo 4th Gen with 4 Tuners I have nothing else to compare it with. The interface is smooth, fast and easy to use. I get 74 channels over the air plus the streaming channels that come with Tablo. Its great! I also use Roku on all my TV' and so far, it's been flawless.
I agree, I love taking advantage of free TV and fast forwarding through the commercials. Happy streaming!
will it accept to install 3rd party software or itis closed android envernament and also does it have an original android software or it will not support some android soft ware
Personally I never tried it but this video says it is possible to do FYI kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGqao82aeda0YaQ.htmlsi=DpWtMpiQdtC-I_QL
Sorry brother I believe you're wrong with leaving the bottom open it will just act like a wick and draw moisture up the post if you're going to seal it all
Water will eventually flow down. If the bottom sealed, you do risk the bottom of the post containing water like a cup. Here's one of a couple other videos that mentions this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGeMtbiyqNjalc4.htmlsi=5ggQzUExxxq9LljN

Nothing about motion blur where plasma wins?
Yes good point. Personally, I haven't experienced motion blur with the LCD I have in my bedroom, but I know it can be a problem. love my vintage plasma
Thanks, how is the bed, hard or not ?
I would say it's pretty firm but I found it comfortable
What type of antenna do you have? Thank you!
Believe it or not on that particular TV. I have old school rabbit ears. That being said, I do live in a major city about 15 miles from the main towers. I got the rabbit ears at Walmart for about 8 dollars.
A better and dry fast way to treat the lumber is to use seal keret. Apply it to the post until it will not absorb anymore of the seal keret material. Then set post and done. If you apply it the right way you will get 10 plus more years out of your post.
Do you mean Seal-krete Interesting. May have to try that It looks kind of expensive about $50 a can?
How do you know it works?
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how to hook it up to an external DAC. None of the other videos that I watched went into how to do that even if they talked about doing it.
Your welcome. Glad you found my video helpful. Happy listening!!
Great to find your channel! Subscribed! Perhaps I'm considered an audiophile on a moderate budget. I bought an SMSL M8 a long time ago and still enjoy it. I believe that for an incremental change I'd have to spend way more US$200. Perhaps I'm wrong. Have you considered another DAC that you think might beat the SMSL in an obvious way?
Thanks for your comments and subscribing. When I bought the Wii mini and SMSL DAC I wasn't even sure if it would improve my sound. I have been pleasantly surprised and I'm really enjoying listening to music through this setup. There are a lot of other great dacs out there but this one has been reviewed by many to be the best at the price point. You might be interested in this video from cheapaudio man he compares quite a few. I still have a hard time buying a dac that costs more than my entire sound system but definitely would like to test a few more probably mid-ranged dacs Maybe if my channel gets big enough I can get some vendors to let me test their equipment. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqGHssRud7HRaZs.htmlsi=7sWgIBskCw_8NEeZ
Thanks for Sharing great review on the August Suites ,i always stay at the march hotel but this time i have booked the August Suites I'm booked in for next month
March is also a good choice. August has a superior location easy walk to soy seven and the beach. I'll be back in Pattaya soon. Enjoy your trip!!
Thanks very much 👍
I have a Roku TV for six month and they do incorporate the OTA channel in the EPG. The EPG is really good and convenient. May be you should rescan the OTA channel on your Roku TV.
I have a free-standing Roku box not built into the TV. I wonder if that's the difference. I'm going to do a little more research and try to get it incorporated. Thanks for that tip.
@@cashwise7614 I have a free standing Roku as well and have never seen anything about an antennae in any of the menus.
@@cashwise7614 I was just about to say the same thing as @garatobra2504 Mine is also built into the TV.
@@cashwise7614with the separate roku you need to go through the TV to get the OAC. I have one TV set up like that and that is the only way I could find to do it. The TV with the roku built in shows the OAC in the guide just as simple as the streaming channels.
I bought this exact laptop at microcenter for $429 two months ago
Great deal. I've been happy mine battery Life could be better but everything else is a okay
@@cashwise7614 as far as I've read, bad battery life is typical on gaming laptops anyways. It is what it is. I'll keep my eye open for future gateway/microcenter treasures.
I am using either an old Chromecast 2 or the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K through the SMSL Su-1 for streaming audio and and get the same sound for even cheaper 👍🏻
Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. My question is how does it connect to the dac? via Bluetooth? If so, that would probably degrade the sound quality some.
@@cashwise7614 no, Bluetooth would kill all purpose and sound much inferior. I use an HDMI audio extractor with an optical out, and connect this to the dac's optical input. There should be no loss in the digital signal quality.
FYI, I worked in the IT department and I am a tech enthusiast. The pronuniation of Ethernet is eee ther net, not eh ther net. Just saying.
Got it. A few comments people mentioned this to me.Go going forward I'll get it right. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video, I watched so many reviews on DACs, and no one posted any music playbacks comparisons except you. I use Spodify and play through a cheap 30$ Bluetooth Audio Adapter into my amplifier. I have been on the fence weather i should spend this exact combo like you, or even go with the WIIM pro and SMSL combo ?
Glad you found my video helpful. I was playing through an alexa dot directly to my receiver. I was skeptical as to whether I would hear much difference but I will tell you on the high def streams it definitely sounds better to my ear. No going back for me.
@@cashwise7614 I just picked up the SMSL SU-1 DAC and the WIIM mini. Couldnt be more happy. With no DAC, the music has a very narrow sound stage. With the SMSL DAC, the sound stage is wider and each instrument comes through to my ears rather than bunched up together. Good bang for the buck !

Yes, it's been pointed out to me but thanks for being nice about it. I appreciate it.
An older video I made with this wonderful song.
EPA won’t like it 😂. EPA likes all the things to be green (rot like anything).
Your right. I think with the rubber barrier painted over most of the in ground section of the post should be pretty safe for the environment?
Good and helpful info Mate!
Glad you found the video helpful>
Thanks for sharing the tricks. Can i use new engine oil rather USED engine oil? Any pros or cons for use new engine oil? Thank you.
I would imagine it would work but every article or old timer mentioned used motor oil so may be something to that. I would also use the water barrier on the below ground portion of the post.
I bought the Mini as I was not sure if I wanted to be bothered with streaming (I don't use a service, I just wanted to stream my own music to my system). After listening to it, and being impressed, I decided to go the next step and buy the SU-1. Now, I am very impressed.
Awesome! I'm really rediscovering my music since picking up this set up. By the way, I heart radio does high definition streams for free.
@@cashwise7614 Cheers!
The Wiim Pro plus is 230, you get hi res stream + DAC and remote with really nice eq. Its a better deal in my mind even with the extra 60 bucks and sounds just as good if not better.
That's another good option and eliminates a little of the complexity. However, most online reviewers including one I trust cheapaudioman. are finding that the smsl DAC is superior to the inbuilt dac in the Wii mini pro. I have not done a test comparison as they have but I am happy with the sound of the smsl1. And 60 bucks is 60 bucks.
@@cashwise7614 The SU-1 has the same DAC chip as the Pro.
@@cashwise7614 The SMSL SU-1 uses the AKM 4493S dac chip. The Wiim Pro PLUS has an AKM 4493SEQ chip which is an improvement over the Wiim Pro’s (and Mini’s) dac. Not sure if there is a difference with the 4493S vs SEQ though.
@@jp93309 this video compares The WiiM pro plus vs j2 dac vs SMSL dac. He picks the J2 but also calls the SMSL an improvement over the dac in the pro plus, and the best bang for the buck in another of his videos. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6ealcdwmtS3iLA.htmlsi=2RVLLOMyvDH8ev_7
Totally agree with you. They bought a cheap and cheaper dac…😂😂
Hi i have airpulse A100 active speakers, can i add this DAC to it?
I believe you can, but what is your music source? Are you already sending a high def stream to the speakers?
@@cashwise7614 Hi mate, I'm using xiaomi mibox S as source. It has aux and usb output and connected to aux port.
Sorry I'm honestly not sure. Normally you would go optical out to your DAC and then DAC to powered speakers or receiver via aux. You may be able to run it through the USB port but not 100% sure. Most importantly, I would just try to make sure that you're getting high definition streams to the speakers. ,1400kbps or more. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
un plasma reste en sdr quasi imbattable ! le led c est assez moyen

Wow ! That pool ! You could do at least THREE strokes from end to end. Seriously. I bet it is at least ONE metre deep in parts. Is this the old At Mind residence re-vamped? Just off Soi Buakhaw ?

Man these plasma fan boys are funny. Any mid or upper level QLed or mini led will blow away most plasma’s. Plasma really were and are great TV’s. You can’t compare a budget Hisense to a plasma. A quality Samsung or Sony led lcd with all the bells and whistles is way better than any plasma and a definite upgrade. I would take a QM8 over any plasma . Led lcd has come a loooong ways in the last 5 years and can hang with the Oleds just fine now. I would rather have an upper level QLed than an Oled for many situations. Plasma’s will always have a place in my heart but these plasma and Oled fan boys are funny I love reading there comments
We agree to disagree. I own and admittedly mid-level QLED with full array local dimming It does have a good picture, brighter than the plasma. In my opinion the plasma has richer colors and better black levels still a better overall picture.
Need to try a brand like Samsung or Sony and one of the top tier models. Hisense processing is garbage. I’ve had a few plasma’s still have my Fujitsu plasma vision and pioneer elite pro so I’m familiar with the best of plasma but I just bought a Samsung QLed a few months ago and it is way better than even the 1080P pioneer and that pioneer cost $11500 when new. Everything about the new QLed is better much more vibrant and decked out with all the bells and whistles. They have come light years since the last Led LCd Samsung I bought in 2016 the quantum dot tech is just gorgeous that’s why the new Samsung QD Oleds are hands down the most gorgeous tv made
@@garrettstrutz7421 the QLED that I have in my bedroom is the TCL 5 series. Did a video on that against the plasma as well. I do agree some of the new OLED TV are awesome and would be my next high-end purchase.
I ended up returning the Hisense
