In case anyone is wondering, the base for the Pilates set is 30" long, so the total of the GM2 and the Pilates extension is 66" long altogether. The yoga mat is curled up so needs to be flattened out.
(FYI, the ramp in the photo is just something I got from Amazon so I can wheel our bench up onto the platform. I had been using another pad to support the bench but now the Pilates platform should do the trick.)
When I ordered the Pilates set, I decided to bite the bullet and also ordered the angle adapters for our GM2. But now I'm curious. I know the adapters are supposed to help prevent cable wear, but is it only certain types of exercises that really need the adapters to prevent friction, or do the adapters just help in general? Are there any exercises that are negatively affected in any way by the adapters?
(The Pilates set actually came yesterday, though I haven't unboxed it yet. The angle adapters are due to arrive in a week or so.)
I'm especially interested in hearing from those of you who have been using the adapters for a while with a variety of different exercises. Thanks in advance!
Just received my first ever order from Orbit. My pre-order came a few days early and everything was well packed. Arrived in perfect condition. Everything was basically full price, but I can't complain about the service.
I don't know if this question makes sense, but I think the title sums it up.
I have an Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and Era 100s as rear/surround speakers. I'm not anxious to spend another $900 and I think the Era 300s are physically too big for our space anyway, but if Sonos ever comes out with a way to use the 100s as front speakers, I might try to find a way to make the 300s work as rear/surround speakers. The height effects in Dolby Atmos aren't super noticeable to me, even though I have it cranked up in the app. How noticeable are the height effects from the 300s?
BTW, we streamed Marty Supreme on HBO last night. If you ever want to test your patience with a soundbar, play that movie. Sheesh. :)
TIA
I saw some suggestions online that tilting a soundbar up a little can help with overall sound quality and possibly improve dialogue clarity. It seems logical that aiming the soundbar up toward our ears would be better but we don't want to go too far, since we don't want to screw up the up-firing drivers.
Google AI suggested a 5-10 degree angle. I ordered these from Amazon and they'll be here in a few days - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVXT7C2D?ref_=pe_125775000_1044873430_t_fed_asin_title&th=1
It's inexpensive enough so I figured it can't hurt to try. I'll update this post to report on whether it makes any difference but, in the meantime, I thought I'd see if any of you have tried it.
Half joking question. :)
I took some lessons as a kid but never really got beyond the basics. I've tried to pick it up again off and on over the years and am about to give it one last try. :) (I'm now 66.)
Just joined here and will probably have a few questions as I try to navigate my way back to this. I've tried both in person and online (Guitar Tricks) but I think I will look for a good teacher to start again.
Now we get to my question: It seems like 30 minutes a week is the standard model but it doesn't really work for me. I think 30 minutes is too short, and once a week is too quick - I'm usually still working on the previous lesson when the next one comes around. After a while, it becomes like a dreaded chore instead of a fun activity.
For the teachers out there - would most of you be open to the idea of 45 or 60 minutes every other week, rather than 30 minutes every week? I'm thinking of proposing that to prospective teachers I find here locally and am just wondering if it's an unreasonable ask. TIA!
