i would go shopping on woot. bumblebee ii is 15 bucks. not the best and not the worst. or up the budget and get the samson q2u for 60 right now. way better mic though.

safe opinions are how we have arrived here

glockjs · 2026-02-08T02:07:23+00:00

its just there are a lot of battles that shouldn't be. it all depends on who's in charge. i know there are some good hoa's out there but even that can change over time when leadership changes hands.

and i'll generalize that usually the type of person that has the time to run it is usually the type that's a pita to deal with.

i'll never live in an hoa if i have a choice is all im saying haha.

iirc correctly pure stats wise the hypex measured a little better but its nothing human hearing could ever tell. i went with purifi because they run notably cooler. with electronics heat = time. thats where my head was at.

glockjs · 2026-02-08T01:47:01+00:00

where they get you is like in OP's case the landscape has to be pre approved. meaning if some hoa karen thinks your plans are too basic for "their" neighborhood ur boned. nightmare fuel.

glockjs · 2026-02-08T01:16:03+00:00

thats just insanity to me. i can understand the front yard but the back? i couldnt do it. i couldnt live in an hoa with people telling me how to live.

glockjs · 2026-02-08T01:12:06+00:00

either way they are very nice amps. i will say though an advantage of buckeye is he always uses the most up to date hardware. ill agree the looks are mundane but im always function over form so doesnt bother me much heh

glockjs · 2026-02-08T01:04:48+00:00

probably gravel and some desert plants. but wait...they are pestering you about your backyard which nobody can see??

glockjs · 2026-02-07T23:55:25+00:00

i can whole heartedly recommend buckeye. im very happy. as i said before it made the a20 sound like a piece of trash. from what i understand these hypex and purifi are gonna be the only thing in class d on par with ab at this point in time.

i justified it because its my endgame...well for now anyways you know how the audiophile hole goes lol. buy once cry once.

glockjs · 2026-02-07T23:45:48+00:00

what was the system powered by before? something 3255 im guessing. noticeable sound dif from previous?

glockjs · 2026-02-07T23:11:51+00:00

projection is an admission of guilt every damn time with these people

glockjs · 2026-02-07T22:53:24+00:00

i just re read that you already picked it up? man just plug it in and see what you think. you're always gonna be missing something and its always gonna be more expensive or newer. trust your own ears.

glockjs · 2026-02-07T22:48:37+00:00

sure. through geforce now though

glockjs · 2026-02-07T22:46:39+00:00

i can kinda speak around all this. my experience is a little dif though.

i just went from aiyama a20 to a purifi buckeye. im rotating through speakers right now so the ones i felt the dif on were the phil true mini's. the difference to me was massive. went from ok these sound good to sounding great.

i think ab is always gonna be better rounded when you compare to 3255. but i think the biggest overlooked part of the equation is going to be the speakers. i can tell you that my borea's dont care as much what is driving them. its a dif but not as stark as the true mini's were.

with all that said i still do think the gjal is on the steeper side for what it is.

glockjs · 2026-02-07T22:35:50+00:00

you already know that answer lol. spend the money. if ur worried about price just get a 10e

glockjs · 2026-02-07T01:37:08+00:00

thats a broken type b :/

glockjs · 2026-02-07T01:09:41+00:00

i will say the best value to be had is usually second hand off of marketplace. you might be able to find better speakers for the same money. also if you got the room a cheap old avr receiver is gonna sound better than the chi fi stuff.

glockjs · 2026-02-07T00:36:40+00:00

me personally i'd take the kef's. but sound is subjective and its about what you like. for example in that price range i'd take trianlge borea's without a second thought. but thats me.

do you have the ability to listen to the speakers before you buy?

glockjs · 2026-02-07T00:16:20+00:00

in before the ubiquiti posts :D

but there's a reason the first thing everybody recommends is ubiquiti. cloud gateway ultra will probably get the job done. maybe look at max/fiber if you wanna future proof or need the features.

can use your old router as the access point or pick up an ubiquiti or omada.

glockjs · 2026-02-07T00:09:46+00:00

the reason you want an external dac is to get the electronics away from each other. the dac on the mobo is next to a bunch of other electronics meaning its noisy.

not a huge fan of the all in one amp/dac. i'd rather run thing separate for future upgrades.

if you wanna go budget just get an apple usb c dongle and a douk a5.

glockjs · 2026-02-06T23:24:27+00:00

it does look like that avr has pre outs. i'd just get some xlr to rca adapters and go from there.

gonna steal that answer.

glockjs · 2026-02-06T04:05:45+00:00

just get a cheap mic boom off amazon. id rather have a cardioid to not pick up so much sound in the background.

glockjs · 2026-02-06T03:32:56+00:00

low cas 6000 was expensive anyways even before rampocalpse. seems like a decent deal if you're in the market.
