Can you believe it. After a week of stupid low prices, 2 of my audio items sold today,. I guess there is a market if you price it low enough. Fees hurt and add up to about 25% but money in hand is worth more to me than sitting on stuff "hoping" it will fetch more some day.

I need to sell my Final D8000 Pro as I don't use it much anymore, but I suspect I will have to have it below $2k to get it to move, maybe significantly so...

In my personal experience on the local classifieds market, you just have to be patient. Like, not weeks but months. If the price is ok, it will sell eventually.
And sometimes, there seem to be strange conditions like the moon phase or whatever. ;) It happened to me more than once that for a long time, nobody even asked a question about my offers, and then several sold within a few days.

Can't deny the features though, reasonably proper subwoofer out and delay for the mains. You usually pay a lot more.

That's common with chifi-style stuff, though- massive feature lists. It chops, it dices, it slices! I'd need a really good reason to go near a Wiim product at this point, I think.

I run client, friend runs server, other remote clients on his server get 1080p. The fix was a router reboot. Now getting direct play 1080p. Wahoo!

FWIW my upload speed is 927Mbps or really fast, but moot in this case. His is 40Mbps and can serve 4 video at a time with no issues.

Awesome!

That thing cooks. :)

Yep, 45 minutes at 300 is one of my favourite amplifier settings too.

The Brown Brownie DIY design. Classic.

I soooo wanted to see him here last week but couldn't make it work, sadface.

This is pretty close to what I saw.
Just turn it up!.https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/119461-000-A/nils-frahm/

Perfect solution - when the kids outgrow their shoes, the family can buy new phones and strap the old ones to the kids' feet!

You guys are right this goes far deeper than just finished goods. As the Roots said long ago, “If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?”

@gaspasser Let me know how that works out.

depressingly deep sh*t happening ATM.

I mean, China is kind of the important one, especially for IEMs and portable gear. I do question, though, if it’s going to get implemented, given the massive staff necessary.

Yes, we talked about this in February. And it got postponed. I still do not see how the USPS is going to collect all the tariffs. Packages will sit in the post office and lines will be insane.

We are literally ensconced in Policy Slop. "I dunno, man! just run that shit through AI!!"

Microeconomics was one of *three* courses in college that were really important. I’m not going to pretend that *macroeconomics* makes sense.

I would only caution people to separate: a policy tool (tariffs, free trade), timing, the specifics, and the administration (irrelevant). There are many possible positions, and I don’t have one.

But let’s talk about Israeli VAT @Claritas

Please keep us posted... I'm very curious about all three of these as an upgrade path. Gungnir does seem to be the most logical step for me.

unfortunately, I have no access to a Gungnir. Years ago, I had one for a while but it was way before they figured how to do usb, and it sounded plummy.

Yeah I want to know ur findings as the Gungnir 2 is on my possible buy list also.

not cool @bixby !!! :p

Is it better if you watch it without sound ?

Song-wise, I prefer Steve Miller. I think it went...

Abracadabra;
I'm going to reach out and grab ya...

The 50th anniversary concert was amazing! I haven't yet watched the actual skit episode yet.

I wonder though. Most Temu crap is ridiculously cheap fake junk that's a fraction of the cost of the real products. Another 10% won't change that

I hope it kills them off, but I’m not going to hold my breath. Good riddance to cheap junk if it does.

Honestly I wish this whole “marketplace” business model would die. It’s a giant liability dodge and shouldn’t be legal. No, your honor, WE didn’t sell the defective product that exploded in plaintiff’s face…

@RestoredSparda - so true, maybe even 90%, lol. I skim some threads. For one of them, I'd hit "ignore" on so many head-fiers that only 2 posts showed up on one page.

The noise level is high but I still think it's a positive for the community. ASR I'm less convinced.

The main issue with looking for knowledge in Head-Fi is that there are hidden gems of knowledge there buried in 2435 fluff posts

Fun couple of hours listening to the Hype 4 thru these. As expected Apple Dongle<Shanling UA-1 Plus< Questyle M15i. M15I leans just a bit toward the analytical aide. Also nice Bal out space.

They don't need ANY music. How I hate it.

Would they make a *music* video with themselves talking in the background? Why do they think talking requires background.

I can only attribute my mild symptoms to count em, 7 shots, a shed load of vit d over 3 yrs. and paxlovid. It ain't cuz I am young and have an innately strong immune system, haha.

I get a shot before Christmas so I can lead the carols (no masks, obviously: it’s singing). The one year I didn’t was is the only time I caught Wuhan.

My wife tested positive yesterday and now I think I’m coming down with it.

It can be tough for some to realize what world they live in, the "Internet of things"
