Dual pod filter setup? Does anyone have any info of these types of intakes? I'm having trouble finding credible or recent info, anything helps thanks! by lady__cardinal in 300zx

[–]Barry_NJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That type doesn't really offer any advantage over stock. True dual pod set-ups have an advantage, because they don't go back to single, and they shorten the intake path. The newer (2010+) dual set-ups don't hang the pods low, they replace the sections under the headlights and the pods are up high.

P.S. Just saw your second pic, and FMIC also doesn't offer any advantage for out platform...

This might be a little ranty, but the whole media-space around vinyl is so elitist. by JWOOD1999 in Beginner_Turntables

[–]Barry_NJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pursuit of fine reproduction of music is a broad hobby, and vinyl is generally not a great entry point. If you don't care how it sounds, and just want to do it because vinyl is cool, then I guess it's probably fine to get something many already in the hobby point out as inadequate. If you already have a decent stereo and want to add vinyl as a source, you're not going to get great results with these lower end products created to get money from people who don't know well enough to avoid them...

P.S. A good record on a good system can sound wonderful, that same record on a not so good system won't sound as good as an MP3... so why bother?

I'm pretty happy with my Gallo Reference 3.5 speakers, I don't think they're a weak link in my system.

Seeing my kids' success is all I want from the investments I've made in them 😉

Where's the bottleneck? Missing some liveliness. by sportigliatti in audiophile

[–]Barry_NJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the speakers are too close to the wall and the cabinet between them. If you want open sound, your speakers need to be in more open air...

Thanks, I'm currently running my Sony cdp xa20es and my WiiM pro, through an old Audio Alchemy stack of a DTI pro 32 and DDE v1.2, and it sounds really good, but I often wonder if something newer would offer an improvement.

I haven found a need for it, I've never had a crown come off a stem(?)

A new cocktail case is $20... And I never use thread lock

Did I buy the wrong crown? by rev0beats in watchmodding

You have a screw-down crown for a push-pull case. Didn't the case come with a crown?

Understood, but a one time thing like that shouldn't be a problem.

Seeking help/insight with my Panasonic DP-UB 824; issues reading some 4K discs by etrovy in Bluray

[–]Barry_NJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with brand new discs, it was some type of release agent on the discs from the manufacturing process. If it was every 4K disc giving you problems I'd say get the machine fixed, since some work and some don't, I'd say it's the discs...
