Re: Yammies aren't built so well these days...
You are correct (and I was mistaken earlier); setting the AVR to 6 ohms as opposed to 8 ohms *does* result in a lower power draw by the amplifier and is intended to counteract the power draw tendency of low impedance speakers. I misinterpreted this menu option as measuring the amp's power resistance...

Re: Nielsen Detroit radio ratings
Fake Wheels 106.7 posts a new record low for the brand, Alt 98.7 soars to a 3.7 share (a new record high for them), and WRIF inches up to a 6.2 share (close to record high territory). WJLB and WDMK continue to underachieve. The Ticket has descended now that the Lions playoff run is over but remains ...

Re: Yammies aren't built so well these days...
Kenwood discontinued its receivers for home use in 2007, and that's a shame, because for the vast majority of its existence, it had a phenomenal brand reputation.
I am still awaiting the prognosis of my Yammie, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager that the board is hosed.

Re: Ron Cameron
Allen Park is arguably too upscale for Ron, and it's also home of the Lions' practice facility (another demerit against Allen Park).

Re: Yammies aren't built so well these days...
I did see at some point in 2022 that the S760H was on clearance for $249.97 at Costco (in-club). For music sound field, I'm fairly impressed by its performance. HEOS is good, and the Audyssey room calibration app works much better than YPAO from Yamaha. I understand some versions of Audyssey take me...

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire
Thanks for the info.
It's interesting that 89.9 is still being run as its own brand.

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire
Is 89.9.WLJN in financial doo-doo?
Their web page shows only two on-air personalities, and I find it interesting that 105.5 (previously part of their now defunct Fuel FM brand) is now in the hands of a direct competitor.
WLJN lacks the geographic scale that Smile FM and Promise FM enjoy.

Re: Yammies aren't built so well these days...
Nominal impedance of my left and right front speakers is 6 ohms. Running lower impedance speakers with a higher impedance amp is bad, because the amp is unable to keep up with the speakers' power demand. For example, using an amp set to 8 ohms with high-end speakers designed for 4 ohms can cause maj...

Re: B93 Morning Host Fired
Yes, "Country Broadway" is the same one currently working at Z93. He did mornings or other weekday air shifts in Detroit, Pittsburgh and Hartford, I believe, before landing there. He has extensive country radio experience and did the night show on B93 for a number of years.

Re: B93 Morning Host Fired
Although I was never a big fan of his work as a morning drive host - I sure as hell hope he isn't replaced by Bobby Bones. He hasn't lived in West Michigan in a long time, for what that's worth. Assuming B93 doesn't choose to go with a lame syndicated show in morning drive, possible replacements cou...

Re: NCAA bracket
I agree that both Gonzaga and North Carolina were given overly generous treatment by the committee. Indiana State was screwed royally by the committee. The fact they were denied an at-large bid is absurd. I do agree with the Hoosiers being left out; they had a lot of lopsided losses in the regular s...

Re: Detroit Pistons 2023-24
LMAO. Just heard the end of today's game on WWJ. Monty Williams and Cade Cunningham are both morons. Dumbfuck #2 (Cade) in a 101 - 101 tied game, instead of allowing the game clock to wind down to a second or two before shooting, heaved up a shot with :09 on the game clock. Miami got the rebound wit...

That firefighter who was getting BJs from her in the Auburn Hills Costco parking lot has...ummm... interesting tastes in women to say the least. To that point, that is about the quality you can expect if you are getting your BJs in a Costco parking lot. I suspect at best she cleans up to a 5. I can...
