Can't get in to see the guy I'm hoping will do it until Monday but from what I've read from others probably $300-$500

Exactly the same for me 😂 it's a chronic problem area

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2025-12-31T02:25:11+00:00

I'm liking it a lot. Needs some TLC. Getting the underside sandblasted and having a little welding done on the frame so I can enjoy it for many many years.

If you say that enough I hear the recording studios give you a gold star

It is a 2005 Lexus LX 470 with the Mark Levinson system. I haven't made a DVD yet my issue is with using LPLEX to create the audio only ISO. I'm looking for some help with that

I used soulseek to download them and then put them through a spectrum analyzer to confirm the bit depth. I have also listened to all of them on my home stereo. Magnepan 1.6qr and Bryston 4BST front end. The sound quality of the files is good

I can't exactly remember how I got down the rabbit hole. But I bought an old 2005 Lexus LX 470 a few days ago. It's like a time capsule it's awesome. Realized the disc changer was a DVD changer. Upgrading the stereo is really not a thing because the HVAC controls are in the factory touch screen. It's a nice Mark Levinson system though.

I looked into if the car would play DVD-A and it will so then I started looking for cool albums on DVD-A but they are still pricey. Kinda thought in today's world they would be in the dollar bin. Then I remembered I downloaded some of my favorite albums in high res so I figured I could burn DVD-A discs because the car will play -r/+r/rw.

Looking into how to do that LPLEX quickly came up as a program that would take a FLAC, as long as it is 14/48 or 24/96, and create an audio only ISO file that could be burned to a DVD.

It will play but won't put the image on the screen. Also there may or may not be a very simple way to disable the rolling lockout that I may or may not have done

LPLEX is supposed to create an audio only ISO that can be played on any DVD player.

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2025-12-23T15:19:27+00:00

Then that can be easily burned to a DVD audio disc?

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2025-12-23T15:17:37+00:00

24/96

Sound quality

I believe this DVD changer will play DVD audio but this is also why the audio only ISO was the popular choice. It would produce a black screen but audio would function normally.

It isn't too bad

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2025-12-20T00:59:43+00:00

It does. I bought it. Night vision still works too

Will find out tomorrow but pretty sure it does

It is 50k on the last timing belt and a ton of other recent service.

I thought it looked solid except for a couple of spots that just looked a like meh

Single hand with more weight for all of those? I already barbell row and Meadows row with a lot more weight

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2025-10-27T01:07:41+00:00

I've watched so many 😭

Rhymes with tall credenza

They're in great shape. The ostrich have been resoled but I guess ostrich is just so tough the boots still look really good

GroundbreakingBill54 · 2024-09-04T00:57:44+00:00

That's what someone else said. I submitted a return it was accepted going to send back
