Thank goodness it was released from the clutches of Henry K. from Gibson. I still can't believe I worked there while he was there. A real crap show.

waitaminnit. crowds at Oly events make noise instead of hush-hush? since when.

well maybe for tennis, haha............ a bit of noise for the worlds fastest in the 100 meter though, would have been nice.

Related, America’s Top Dog pipes in dog barks and it drives me bonkers. I care deeply about dog vocalization as part of sports.

Yes, you are correct I missed that ..no more Paypal haircut for selling on ebay, it is all buried in their exorbitant fees, haha.

Is google pay or apple pay a cheaper alternative to accepting paypal on other sites like here and headfi??

Thanks for the heads up, jesus christ 3.6 %...

Hmm, I have an Omega 2.1 system. I fully agree with the use of a sub. I’ll have to try scoping out the mids once I get a Loki.

What about a neat regular xo to tame it a bit? This or plxo would be my choice, when approacing true high end. Phase response would be a massacre after pistonic response (3..4 kHz) anyway.

@Priidik - Actually I have been thinking about that as well as perhaps adding an ambience tweeter. But then it gets all frankenspeakerish and my head says just get another speaker design. One thing these big FR drivers do is big sound that no 5.25 in two way bookshelf match. At least not the under $700 ones I have tried.

FWIW, I am going to do a soundbar because I like having plants around and don't like obtrusive speakers, etc in my living room.

@zerodeefex - Really? Must be an expensive soundbar to be worthy. Care to share what is on your shortlist?

It's just for kids watching movies on the couch. Needs to prioritize dialogue. Probably the Klipsch cinema 600. For videogames, I use headphones

If you have a really hard time lmk I'll see if I can send you some. Pm if needed, etc. I can send you some loose leaf teas w/ brewing instructions as well etc.

Bixby, I’m also a tea fan and agree with the above. I buy my tea from Mandala Tea or Camellia Sinensis online. the latter offers quality bagged tea.

if you want to sample some loose tea, DM me and i’ll gladly send some along. I have about 20 varieties on hand at the moment.

Yes, it happens when you analyze to death a 1 meter nearfield setup, cuz it and your main setup set you off when it comes to whacked sax, cymbals, voices, etc. And you find the culprit frequency that is making lots of marginal recordings sound even crappier.

Already tried 3 editors and am stopping for now. None address searching and shredding stored cookies. Is it that hard?

Reminds me of a Primus song. Fish on!

"Dad caught a hundred pound sturgeon
On twenty-pound test...fish on"

I caught a fish once. It was this big:

<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Literally!

And I had to get a local fisherman to take it off the hook and throw it back in the harbour for me. Never fished again.

Audizr also smooths the low octaves too much. Tried Spectroid? Free, good variety of settings.

thanks, I will give it a go.

It's like every time they want to clear the background noise or whatever and It's ending like crap.

Denial is a bitch sometimes. He probably thought he had cat scratch fever.

Man, how many stories have we seen now about people who scoffed at COVID/denied it and then either got really sick or died from it, I’m so sick of the science denialism.

Visuals are much more impressive if you skip back to nighttime (it was 10am local when I tuned in live)

I've had two okay experiences with them. Leopold keyboards are good.

Not recent but ordered 3 about 3 years ago without issue. Had no issues with returning the one I didn't want either. Which reminds me - it looks like they resell their returns for IIRC ~10% off.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.

I got a Crown x1000 , used of course, for around $100. Solid value I think.

I've owned Indeed tda7498e w/30 v supply, not bad but thin. Looking at tpa 3251 or 3255 non BT. Using a Sonance 260 (class ab) that is a bit too fuzzy up top. Nad 316bee was crap and way over budget, Dayton ap150 sounds decent, but above budget. May be pulling trigger on Peter Daniels Lm3875 for main setup so maybe that could work if I up my budget. Keep the ideas coming.

I've read good things about the TPA325x chips as a good step up from the 3116. There are a billion clones but apparently 3eaudio on ebay and aliexpress are a cut above.
