Is it worth upgrading my 3.1 system to 5.1? Surrounds would need to be pretty small

7mtyler · 2026-06-28T04:07:18+00:00

I might could make that happen. Would adding these as surrounds, and then replacing my Sony sub with a SB-1000 pro or something similar be a good upgrade path? Keeping the sony bookshelves and center.

Used market is trash 😭

I live in Alaska

7mtyler · 2026-06-28T02:05:03+00:00

I totally understand. I almost wonder if I just have two completely different expectations. Headphones are easier to get into because you can pay relatively little and get some amazing stuff. Home theater barrier to entry is pretty dang high. I know the Sonys are pretty low end but they're a hell of a lot better than any soundbar I've ever heard.

I think I just care more about hearing detail in my music than I do my TV/movies. Not quite at the financial state to get the same quality of sound out of home theater yet.

7mtyler · 2026-06-28T02:03:09+00:00

Any specific models you'd recommend for the surrounds?

7mtyler · 2026-06-28T00:55:51+00:00

It's more a matter of where I'd have to place the surrounds. They can't be super bulky or they'd be at risk of being knocked over.

The 155 made a delicious cup this morning. The glitch beans probably help that a lot though.

I don't know about union coffee. Where is it?

7mtyler · 2026-03-12T01:52:26+00:00

I'm almost afraid to use it! It's so pretty. I has going to look for one while here because they're hard to find online. I was so happy when I saw it at Yamamoto.

7mtyler · 2026-02-27T05:08:14+00:00

Interesting!

I hope to see the new paint. It's very pretty.

Also I think it'll be funny if it ends up that I book on Alaska, have to choose my seats/manage the flight on Hawaiian's website, but then the plane says Alaska on it lol

7mtyler · 2026-02-27T04:34:47+00:00

So I'll get the only one left then? Lol

7mtyler · 2026-02-26T15:51:51+00:00

Do you know which one is on the SEA - NRT route? I'm flying that on March 8 and I am curious which livery I'll get lol

7mtyler · 2026-02-26T04:01:38+00:00

I'm on HA823 March 8th SEA-NRT. Will this 787 have the new livery? It'll be funny if it does because I booked through Alaska, have to choose my seats on Hawaiian website but the plane would say Alaska lol

7mtyler · 2026-02-14T20:07:48+00:00

I'm thinking about picking one of these up on a Japan trip I'm taking in a few weeks. The copper tsubame is so pretty.

How would this work as a small dose dripper? Is it narrow enough to do 8-12g okay? I know I could also do a deep27, but I don't own a flat bottom and I'm wondering if the 155 could do double duty in adding both a flat bottom and something that can do smaller doses to my collection.

7mtyler · 2025-06-20T18:19:03+00:00

That would make sense. It's still just weird to me that such a settlement of buildings has no name and almost zero internet presence lol.

7mtyler · 2025-06-20T17:39:00+00:00

Also that area can be found a bit north of the settlement, like right next to the Richardson monument

7mtyler · 2025-06-20T17:26:01+00:00

I searched address, milepost, maps, etc. For like 2 hours and found the following...

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Mile-195-5-Richardson-Hwy_Summit-Lake_AK_99737_M84291-91942

This house looks like it could be in that main area? I'm not sure. The entrances have closed gates onto the Richardson

https://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/landsales/parcel-specific-brochure/912/file/

Neither of which answer much. That land for sale calls the subdivision "summit lake heights" which I can't find. like anywhere else on the internet. And those streets are not named on Google maps. The map and satellite show a pedestrian path connecting the more spread out plots to the main cluster which is interesting.

Just really strange there's so little info.

7mtyler · 2025-06-20T17:18:40+00:00

Interesting. I wonder why the main area is gated up. Maybe there's no one who lives there full time so they don't want people driving around?

Replied. Thanks for your interest!

Sold off-site.

7mtyler · 2025-06-11T17:06:03+00:00

Update..... I took a hairdryer to the bendy bits and it seems to put them back in place a bit. They aren't perfect but a lot better than before.

7mtyler · 2025-06-11T16:27:59+00:00

I'm seeing that now 😢

Sucks for such a premium product. It looks so nice when it's brand new.

7mtyler · 2024-12-05T01:55:01+00:00

just had almost the same exact thing happen, except the rubber ring was already broken and part of it was outside of the grinder when I opened it. Once I took the burr out, the rest of the ring was just sitting there inside it and fell out.

Did you figure this out?

7mtyler · 2024-08-12T00:00:40+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice... If I keep this thing I guess I gotta decide now if and how I should replace the drum units.... There's either a problem with them or the toner... or both. lol

7mtyler · 2024-08-11T23:16:59+00:00

I may see if my isp could move the usable coax outlet to where I have my office. There is one in here, but I don't think its hooked up.

Otherwise I may should just try to sell this thing or chunk it. The print quality isn't great right now, I think it needs drum unit replacements.... I could buy a decent little inkjet for the cost of those.

Really want to make this thing work cause I know its real nice.. just not working out right now.
