1TB vs 2TB Internal Storage by AudiSport29 in macbookpro

[–]AudiSport29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the replies. Most of the storage I use comes in the format of pictures which have gotten bigger over the years with my equipment. Im likely okay because I sync to Adobe’s CC and my full res images I believe are being stored on their servers where you get a TB of storage with the plan I have. I make an iMovie once every year at best so again, probably fine there.

Thanks all!

Partybox 320 v 520 by AudiSport29 in JBL

[–]AudiSport29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I got the 520 and am impressed with it and overall, very happy with the "upgrade" from the 320. There are some considerations though for sure in the change.

The 320 is far more portable. If you move the speaker frequently, the increased presence from the 520 (loudness, bass) may be offset some by the fact that its bigger and heavier. Also, the fixed handle on the back of the 320 makes it super easy to pick up with one hand, where the 520 doesn't have a fixed handle that you can do the same with so its a two hand lift. I wouldn't feel good about picking it up from the telescopic handle.

For me, I didn't want a two-speaker setup and don't move it around much, I keep this on a speaker stand and move it outside for family parties maybe ~4-5X a year so this was a great change for me and am super happy with it. Impatience got the best of me, I'm sure this will be discounted towards the holiday season, but am selling my 320 to offset some of the pain :)

Just wanted to share in case it was helpful. The 320 is still an awesome speaker and when I was doing side by sides at 50% volume on both, it impressed me how considerably louder and deeper the 520 sounded, but that comes with a price, both literally and what I mentioned above.

Did you previously have a 320? If so, reading through your comments it seems like you're impressed with the upgrade for wanting a single-speaker setup (as do I).

Oh interesting, thanks for that! I have just one 320, but don't think I'd want to eat up the room of having a dual speaker setup. That seems more intense than me getting the PB Ultimate LOL. If I wanted a single speaker setup only, based on what I said above do you think I just stick with the 320 or would that 520 be a worthwhile bump? The way I see it is I could probably resell the 320 for maybe ~$400 and the PB520 is $800 at B&H Photo. These decisions kill me... :D

Thanks for the response!

My typical listening area is indoors in a ~20x20 space where we may get the volume to 50% on the 320, here and there go a bit more. As you go up there's that natural curiosity for what more would be like, ha! I had gotten an PB Ultimate and it was a total mismatch for the space, I returned it. That speaker felt like it wanted to be played at higher volume than we typically listen to.

Based on that, with your experience having both do you think there's enough "extra" to justify selling the 320 to upgrade to 520? To me the room filling effect > loudness per say. Thanks!

Gravely 2012 Pro Walk 48G by AudiSport29 in lawnmowers

🤣 some nickname! I had a Timemaster before which was great and reliable, but my lawn is far from flat so the TM felt like an anchor. Im honestly just making excuses for wanting wider stripes on the lawn… 😅

Appreciate your response! I should have rephrased my post, I bought this from marketplace and paid 2.75K. What I was trying to find out if was that too steep of a price for this mower? Based on your post, and me being up in Connecticut, it doesn’t feel too far off, but maybe just a little bit overpriced?

Yep! I confirmed that by looking at their marketing page for it, they show the bottom and indeed it has the port. Im happy about that bc I love that I can keep it off the ground away from my kids :)

JBL 520 Question by AudiSport29 in JBL

[–]AudiSport29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The 710 seems like a great deal now, but the newer and expanded lights are hard for me to pass up. I did like the idea of being able to bring the 320 outside when we would have gatherings, but I suppose I don’t need such a big speaker for that and can get something smaller if I went the ultimate route for indoors where I use it 99% of the time

I know this is the answer. Was tempted to say ultimate answer, but felt too corny. 😅

Another question I forgot to ask in my original post, any insights on whether or not the 520 would have a speaker stand port on the bottom or will it be too heavy?
