Looks like a certain forum contributor is 'wed' to referring to other members as being 'stupid' hopefully this short lived and is only a passing trend/fad.
I think this is possible, as the certain forum member, did refrain from informing the OP in this thread, to Dump their equipment and spend thousands $$$$$ on the barrage of purchase links subsequently supplied. This usual 'wed' to attitude appears to have been a fad, I hope as they have discovered the approach is not abe to be taken serious and is laughable, or is this different approach only limited to this thread?
It is not really considerate to the OP, or contributors who have offered support, that the raised Thread is contaminated with unhelpful moments, that are of a content that is attacking the contributions offered, especially attacks of the type that are bullying and intended to discourage further input.
@imhififan a good selection of photo suggestions to help the OP see further considerations.
I am with you on option 3, the OP is hopefully still enjoying the assessment of what can be achieved with the options outlined.
