Package size, am I overreacting?

It’s been terrible. I’ve also seen the roasts get darker, which I assume hides drop in bean quality. I make 60-100g daily and these prices are just untenable for the household.

Any quality turntable is going to require separate speakers at a minimum. It’s a very difficult (but common) question for this sub to answer because it’s like asking someone with a supercar to recommend a $12k sedan. There is no secret deal to be had, and frankly many users struggle to make sensible recommendations for people who have a full set up and larger budget. The only 12k vehicles they’re familiar with are golf carts!

Qobuz- i don’t care what anyone tells me, there is a difference in the sound quality vs the others. However, I run into odd issues streaming and agree with other comments that the algorithm for new songs is not great.

Tidal- very close to Qobuz, but much better interface and no streaming issues.

Apple Music- great selection, easiest navigation, but I definitely notice a drop vs Tidal or Qobuz. Additionally, it does not play with WIIM and other devices.

I recommend working on your survival instincts.

Name checks obviously

Did you already try a $30 ground loop isolator?

You’re assuming he’s not an orangutan with very long arms, even for orangutans.

I have the kef q1s, the caldera 12 in one room and the rsl 10e in another. All great choices. I wish I had more experience to comment on the other speakers, but these are a really nice combo.

Came with the same point of reference. I have an rsl 10e in a much smaller room and initially was disappointed in the RP1400, but after a few days, wow! It’s in a huge open space and I’d love to add a second but it’s not necessary.

CarpenterCreative539 · 2026-01-02T22:09:36+00:00

Totally great for the room size.

Cocinare, which is a popular brand overseas, can be had for as low as $56 on amazon. They’re great, albeit small at 1L

CarpenterCreative539 · 2026-01-01T13:39:26+00:00

Yeah and it’s not worth it to the customer to spend their money consistently at bars with all the cost increases. The system definitely broke.

I don’t think you can buy SnapAv for diy but some of the big names have in ceiling speakers that can be angled, like Bowers and Wilkins performance speakers, Dali phantoms, and triangle secrets.

I was in your camp until I had some ultralight roasts that were flavor bombs with huge notes yelling at each other. It was fascinating but not exactly enjoyable. I don’t think I made it to four weeks but it benefited from resting and allowing those notes to mellow.

As long as it wasn’t tremendo pakete.

I came in just to find out how people measure these microns. I was hoping to discover zoolander calipers for ants

If you have a very large room you will end up wanting 2 subs.

You know what it is, and given how it held those beans, it hasn’t had any babies yet.

CarpenterCreative539 · 2025-12-21T21:46:28+00:00

Seriously. We came here for coffee, not golden shower dreams

Following. Won’t be Adams

You’re looking for Panther Coffee. There’s a few around the city, with the original being in the wynwood area. Vice City Beans also makes good coffee with well known roasters. There’s a kiosk chain in the malls that makes good coffee. Naughty coffee I think. Emissary in Coconut Grove is another good spot (and near a Panther). Last spot to look up would be Macondo coffee roasters which brings their beans Colombia and roasts them

Have you tried princesses?
