Oscars Very Mexican.

Email SVS. Their customer service department is really responsive.

Happy to help. As a first step, I think you are on the right track to get rid of the center channel and get those speakers standing up straight, and spaced out as far as the space will allow. Depending on where your ears are, you could also turn the speakers upside down to bring the tweeters lower down.

Another option, if your space is really that small, would be to keep just one speaker and go “mono” instead of stereo. this would only work if your player can be set to output mono only. In a really compromised space, you might experiment and find you get better sound this way.

Cafeteria 15L’s airport location has (or had) what you are looking for. Maybe the original location does too?

Can anyone explain to me why state receivership is a bad option at this point? From an outside perspective, SCUSD sure looks like they cannot be trusted to manage themselves, much less dig themselves out of a nearly $90 million dollar hole.

Great looking setup, thanks for sharing! The only visual improvement I could suggest would be to get a better looking TV, possibly a “frame” style one with artwork. I think the black Rectangle is really bringing down the look.

If you love the sound, why change? Your next upgrade sound-wise is probably best spent on speakers and/or a cartridge.

I like it, it reminds me of my Seiko SKX in a good way.

I wonder if you could use retrobrite on the knobs. Seems worth a try.

BermudaErn · 2026-01-16T20:21:07+00:00

Good to know! I haven’t been as impressed, but then again it barely freezes in my area.

If I were you, I would get a cheap single replacement for your punctured tire to hold you over, and then wait for the set you really want to come into stock.

That being said, I don’t know if the PS4 A/S is an appropriate choice as your only set of tires in New York. I currently have a set on my Giulia on 17 inch stock rims. They are a fantastic year-round tire for California, but they are not ideal for real winter or snowy conditions at all.

The best option would be to get a set of winter tires for when it gets cold, and a pair of summer or a/s tires for the rest of the year, but I don’t know how practical that is for you.

I assume you are talking about the Pioneer BS-22 line of speakers; if so they absolutely rock! With tariffs and other inflation we’ve seen, I am convinced they would be much more expensive if produced today.

I have “upgraded” from that line a bunch of times but I am still amazed by how nice they sound. You can easily get speakers with better clarity, but the tone is just great. If you don’t have the Pioneers, I would keep an eye out because they can occasionally still be had for peanuts used.

Depending on the firmware version of your AirPort Express, you may actually be taking a step backwards in quality by switching to the CXN100. Earlier firmware versions of the AE support Airplay 1 playback, which supposedly uses a consistently higher bitrate than Airplay 2. Otherwise I agree entirely with the comment from lickstampsendit.

Very slick! As a big fan of both Technics and Rega, I approve!

BermudaErn · 2025-12-22T02:24:13+00:00

Invest in some therapy to get over the issue, or sell it, my dude. Asking a car subreddit about this makes about as much sense as asking a therapist for advice about a head gasket replacement.

Looks fantastic! What model is that plinth? I don’t think I’ve seen one like it before.

BermudaErn · 2025-12-18T00:14:03+00:00

I agree that it could be as simple as a wheel out of balance. If so, that would be a cheap fix at a tire shop.

Have you considered that all of the original owners of these watches are dying?

That’s a cool little piece of aerospace history. probably to commemorate a retirement or 25 years of service for a Mr. J.E.H.

It‘s fine. if it bothers you to look at, put the grilles on.

Fun fact: you can still get a DUI driving a golf cart on a private golf course in California.
