| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I’d go to BestBuy, pick one out and take it home. I don’t see the difficulty. Great deals this time of year with the Superbowl coming up. They really push them this time of year. | |
| What would you save in a fire? Subtle humor, the best! | |
| What would you save in a fire? @eurorack , 😆 | |
| What would you save in a fire? @grislybutter , Your dry eastern European sense of humor does seem to blow right by a lot of guys on here. I thought the (also raking) addition was a dead giveaway. Being first generation American descended from actual Carpathians, I share in in ... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Whatever you decide go with an OLED. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement The distance your moving them is in direct proportion to the sound. | |
| Do you have a screw loose? @ghdprentice , A good point. My Avance are pretty decent quality and sound pretty darn good. 3 ways, all ScanSpeak drivers, pushing 60lbs. each. Changing entire system eventually. Only gear I’m keeping is my BAT phono pre, and Mytek dac. Going ... | |
| Do you have a screw loose? That's why I'm not asking you. We already know the answer to that! 😃 | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? @audio_bidder , I can certainly respect your decision and your drive to succeed. You seem to be going into this with more business acumen they you have led on. If you do decide to go for it, I wish you nothing but success. | |

| Do you have a screw loose? @ghdprentice , I tightened up a pair of my older Avance speakers. Only pair I use at the moment. Had a pair of Fritz Carrera's, but sold them due to the beryllium tweeter. Not for me. | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? 5 day minimum. Another thought, if it comes back broken, who's at fault? Who's liable, the shipper? The customer? The forum is full of incidents of Lost, stolen, damaged gear, and that's with a single shipping. But, your circus, your monkeys. We... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? Renting would be infrequent at best and while you're waiting, value is going down, and every time you send it off chance of damage, losing it, theft go up. | |
| Do you have a screw loose? I don't know about that Rox, but I sure appreciate the compliment! | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? "I am happy to pass judgement on thecarpathian for no reason, I am happy to even just make one up!" Gris, I'd be disappointed if you didn't! |
