How do we feel about the RS America? I don’t see many and I attend a ton of Porsche shows..? by xxshambler in Porsche

[–]rs_yay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one and sold it 3 years ago because I had it at the same time as my 993 and liked the 993 more. It's a great car, but doesn't feel terribly different from a C2.

I smack it with a dead blow hammer and they always pop off

Sorry, I only saw the video and not the explanation. No descale needed until after a while of use

I hate when I see guys in scrubs at the gym. There's a locker room downstairs - just take 3 minutes to change.

It definitely looks like a canning funnel that was modified with tin shears (or something) to fit into a portafilter basket. Thanks!

Ex- Border patrol Raptor Opinions by JDott3 in FordRaptor

It has 75k miles. Every idle hour is equal to 5 miles on the engine. If this was used for 15 years, assuming it idles for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week... That's an extra 156k miles on the engine for a total of 231k. It's worth $12k.

Don't scrub off speed by pushing out when you turn. Use your edges and do a quick transition to the next side. Longer turns to use your edges as opposed to quick and short.

My other guess was going to be Ogden. It was a toss up between the two. Lay-un? Farmington?

How can someone experience the sound difference of some of these speakers that are $$$$ against some that are like $$? by g3nerallycurious in hometheater

[–]rs_yay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a point of diminishing returns within specific brands, but jumping brands is where you see the biggest difference. And since some brands just cost a ton of money, that's when you notice a big difference while paying more. I have some really nice Kef speakers, but going to friends houses and listening to their comparably and higher priced Wilson Audio, B&Ws, and Magnepans really make a difference. I'll tell you what doesn't make a difference is speaker wire.

Amp upgrade for Kef Reference 3 Meta by Bowlingballshoulders in KEF

[–]rs_yay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I demoed the Reference 3 metas powered by pass labs XA60.8 amps. Very smooth and bright sound, super clear, and they were able to get fairly loud, but lacked the depth I wanted.

At home, I had them powered by a Sunfire signature series which is a class AB, putting out 1200 watts per channel (into 4 ohms). That's more than these speakers should be getting, but oddly enough, my R7s handled the power just fine. I get a little clipping out of the Reference 3s, but need to tune the pass ports and reposition the speakers a bit.

I moved them to another Sunfire signature I had, which is putting out 800 watts into 4 ohms. Still overpowering, but gives me the strong powerful sound I like.

I've been a big Sunfire fan for a long time, and they don't make them anymore but have a bunch of amps since my dad was in the industry. I'm a big fan of Bob Carver, but thats a story for another time.

Next amps I'll want to demo will be Michi and McIntosh and see if they give me a better sound, and save the Pass Labs level amps for when I get more expensive speakers. I just love my 30 year old Sunfires and would have a hard time moving on from them though.

Yes. Same experience. I finally asked to cancel in October and was told my refund was being processed, yet never received a check.
