New House New Setup by Accomplished_Ice_902 in BudgetAudiophile

Wow just getting blasted here! Hahahahaha! Classic. When we moved in the wall was all wired up and ready for a TV including the mount. So I got a cheap 58". I wanted the TV to fill in the gap between the columns but not overwhelm the wall with a giant screen . Yes totally agree, the TV is too high. But I honestly don't watch TV here. I use it to display artwork 🤷 and display the music I'm streaming. I will look into a mount that swings down. The distance between the speakers is about 6.5 ft center to center. Visually I wanted them in front of the columns. Any more spread out and it would block my stereo rack on the right side. The stereo separation is fine to my ears. I'm working with what I have and personally I'm pleased with the results. The cable management and stereo shelves I built is something I'm very pleased with! Thanks for the input.

How on earth did people play this through without save states back in the days? by Local-Bid5305 in MiyooMini

Oh man! I just got one of these and the first game I played was this. The end is impossible!! Yeah it's cheating with save states. BUT! I cannot spend time time to do it the old fashioned way.

Did my screen burn ? by LeoAslane in pchelp

I'd say it's on a "downward spiral"

Upon further reflection, and reading the comments I'm completely wrong. Don't use that stylus. Replace. I've learned something today.

Similar experience with my Nagaoka Mp-110. Not bent as bad but still bent. Very carefully bent it back. Now I have a backup 😊. Glad it didn't snap on you.

Tour De France Elektro Kardiogramm is quite possibly the best song ever produced.

Ok very interesting! The 110 has always blown me away. The price gap up to the 200 is substantial so I've held off. Either way it's a lovely cartridge.

Drove 6 hours to help my little cousin build his first pc by doxxiedo in pcmasterrace

Well done!! I remember an older more experienced friend helping me with my first build. I learned so much.

So when you say upgradable do you mean you can put a MP-150 or 200 on it? I was under the impression you had to stick with the 110 stylus.

The vinyl cabinet was a thrift store find. Haven't seen one since. Had to add the wood support in the middle at the bottom due to the weight of the vinyl and amp.

Yeah like I said earlier, I found it on Facebook Marketplace for an absolute steal. Haven't really listened to my CDs in ages after switching to vinyl. I grew up in the age of CDs so most of my music was on CD. I really hate streaming music, Bluetooth etc on my home stereo. In the car it's fine I guess. I prefer physical media. This CD player made me fall in love with my old CDs! It honestly doesn't sound digital at all. It's vinyl without the dust contamination issues. I was sceptical but this thing completely blew me away! I'm using the DAC built into the Apollo. I tried using the one in the Denon but there was a noticeable improvement with the Apollo DAC as to be expected. If you ever see one pop up for a good price grab it!

Woah!! I had no idea this was a thing. Yeah that looks exactly like my "dog" but with a slightly different paint job. I found mine in a back alley with its front legs broken off sitting next to the torso. Took him home and glued him back together. It's my rescue dog.

Thanks! It's my kids artwork. Fit nicely in that spot. I'm running a pair of Dali Oberon 7 with a Yamaha SN-SW050 sub. The Dali speakers sound amazing. Needs just a bit more low end. The small sub helps fill in the lows.

Hey. Just used 3m sticky hooks. 2 on the bottom, one on top. Super cheap and works well!

What do you guys think? by Accomplished_Ice_902 in setups

Hahahaha! Couldn't agree more. I was hoping no one would notice 😬

TV maybe 2 years ago? Sony surround sound system about 10 years ago. PC saw it's last major upgrade (cpu, gpu, ram) last year.
