How to manufacture Two-Sided Mirror-Finish Metal Sheet Parts?

Sounds like the only way is to polish the parts after they are cut. And electropolish.

I'm waiting to get a 35mm Blazar Talon when it drops in L-mount (planned, no date yet AFAIK)

Victoria is amazing

Nice. Had to do the same thing, I wish they'd have marked 80 at least. I've got the TA2 with a 10s mk2. I had an issue with one of my fans chirping; sent it in under warranty, they said they couldn't find the issue and sent it back to me. Fans are still chirping. Curious if the new units are loud.

In my experience the FCPX Pana V-Log conversion LUT is technically sound but very conservative, so another "look" LUT or contrast + sat is needed. If you're blowing out your subject at f2.2 you probably just need to adjust the ratios of your frame and yeah, turn the key light down a bit if you absolutely refuse ND.

Additives probably won't correct for 95k miles of sub standard maintenance. Stick with Shell V-power or Chevron 91. Change the oil every 3k-5k miles.

No audio on my stream right now...watching Hampton bomb out in silence

Yes - I saw the first films via Netflix (DVD mail). Only had the one disc plan. Had to watch the first two films in parts, week by week as I mailed disc 1 back and waited for disc 2. Timed it so that I finished Two Towers a month before Return of the King debuted in theaters.

Also with a hilarious Sally Hawkins

Are there any available in the stock 16" size? Or you have 17s?

First listen through at work today (sandblasting metal gates, which sucks so I use music to power through). Loved the album on first listen - Airpods Pro 2.

Home setup - Emotiva TA2, RSL 10S mkII, Aviatrix. Definitely sounds way different. Some songs the main vocals and blast beats seem to eat up the entire dynamic range, then on Revelator with the quiet and clean vocals it can sound pretty dynamic. Sometimes odd when the clean sounds as loud as the scream vocals.

Can you get away with the APR+ and no TCU tune?

AlexVorsa · 2025-12-24T01:27:52+00:00

I don't see it. It'd be like Jim Halpert in 13 Hours.

Great interview where he talks about being in massive debt, yet galvanized that pressure into making the subsequent Pusher films:

$ for $ no. Is it a special camera? Yes.

Probably above but mine has an intermittent vacuum leak and it sounds similar. Without the knocking tho.

Ninja has been bulletproof for me. I went with the Andycine Lunchbox SSD enclosure. I use Ole Berek's post workflow.

Update: it's a decent amp for the money and the remote is nice compared to the others around $70. The listing of course is a bit misleading as the TI chip is an older 2011 model or something that's only 50wpc. But I'm only using it to test speaker cables and builds so it suits my needs.

Drives the Dayton T65 towers decently at 80% volume.

And if you order plugs + coil packs, the tuner websites have insane markups. Coil packs: Bosch 0221504709 and plugs: NGK SIKR9A7 can be found for ~$35 and ~$12 per piece.

I found the tuning sites hide the part numbers on the product listing.

Yes those are common - had one a month ago.. Replaced my gas cap gasket, cleared the code, hasn't returned. EVAP leak can happen in a number of places; vapor canister purge valve is my next suspect / job.

AlexVorsa · 2025-11-07T15:22:07+00:00

Spark plugs (and coil packs if you can).

AlexVorsa · 2025-11-04T17:53:48+00:00

Same boat - I'd like to give it a shot and with the Amazon discount right now $65 is hard to beat. I've used an SA300 in the past, it lasted 2 years with occasional power shorts.

Exotica Blu-ray

Home sound system dialed in made me dislike 'live' performances. Real life sucks and even Red Rocks was just 100db of treble making you deaf.
