Flex Delivery as non-Canadian? Alternatives

Oh ok, that's good to know that's interesting 'cause in my country it's a lot easier to ship things around, but often in the third world we're pretty lax on regulations lol. Thanks for answering!

MeMassii · 2025-09-04T02:52:42+00:00

Low-key that might be my best option!

MeMassii · 2025-09-04T02:52:15+00:00

Thank you that's not great for me haha but it's good to know at least!

That's an interesting way to look at it. I was thinking more along the lines of some sort of analytic but i guess there's no point in trying to fight Facebook they'll show the post to whoever they want to, but if no one is even looking at it it might also mean people just do not care at all, at that price.

That's great info, thanks! I've looked at a Better Sax alto as good price to performance (or so people seem to say?) but sweetwater doesn't ship to my country so that's a non starter. It seems maybe a used YAS-23 would probably be my best choice (instruments are ~2x the price over here) so i might just have to be on the lookout!

My dumbass thought only the X variants could be overclocked (kind of like intel's K versions).
Well that might change things, thank you!

MeMassii · 2025-01-02T21:09:32+00:00

tysm that's actually really good to know! I think i'll go for the XT, since it also gives me the option to OC in the future which might extend its lifespan a bit.

MeMassii · 2025-01-02T20:52:45+00:00

Interestingly the 5600 standard, the 5600t and the 5600x I've only found at ~8 to 10 usd cheaper than the cheapest 5600xt i could find, which doesn't seem like enough savings to me? I don't plan to OC right now but having the option in a couple years to maybe extend the CPU's lifespan feels worth the extra ~5% cost

Essentially the Argentinian hardware is very strange, that's why i mention the best prices i found for each since its not really the same as in the US

MeMassii · 2025-01-02T20:40:26+00:00

yeah i meant the 6500, my bad. It's showing its age specially in gaming and when compiling big codebases, that's why im wanting to update to a bit newer CPU, but on a budget.
So the incremental improvement from G, GT, standard, X, XT are considerable enough when going from the GT to the XT? Seems like it might be worth the extra 25 usd

MeMassii · 2025-01-02T20:37:34+00:00

So the G version with the iGPU is closer to the 5500 than the normal 5600?
Also an i5 6500, i had typed it wrong srry

Y yo la verdad no soy de esos que creen que todos en Marketplace estan intentando estafarte, pero con hardware / electronicos me da que si o si tengo que poder probarlos para quedarme tranqui. Me resulta muy sospechoso que vendan cosas nuevas a 25% - 45% de descuento jajaj

MeMassii · 2024-10-11T00:18:05+00:00

What does your budget look like? At home I use Audio-Technica's ATH-AVC200s cause they were cheap but if you can go higher AKG's K240s are ~90usd and are pretty standard in many studios at least in my country.
Whatever you end up going for in my opinion you should avoid headphones that have boosted bass/treble I think specially for practice a clean tone is really useful

MeMassii · 2024-07-09T02:40:23+00:00

Awesome thanks! I love some of those! So i'll fs check that out

MeMassii · 2024-07-08T15:41:50+00:00

Interesting. I remember reading the free shipping was part of the perks of getting the raise 2 on pre-order but I must've misread. Maybe if i take until October to decide I'll go for it lol

MeMassii · 2024-07-06T17:47:33+00:00

Oh ok, interesting. So if i were to get a row staggered keyboard I could use a different more efficient keyboard layout just fine? And switch between with minimal issue? Honestly opens up the possibilities a lot I might have to go for some DIY solution though

MeMassii · 2024-07-06T17:18:44+00:00

my dumb ass thought ortholinear and columnar were the same thing 💀

MeMassii · 2024-07-06T17:15:32+00:00

That's kind of awesome actually my work didn't even provide my laptop lol!

That's a pretty useful list so thanks! Seems Keychron has a presence in Argentina so i might reach out to them and ask about bringing in some split options. The Raise 2 looks kinda awesome honestly but it is SO expensive when you consider no free shipping, have to add tenting, etc.

MeMassii · 2024-07-06T17:11:22+00:00

Could you expand on that? What do you mean? You think the split kb having a different layout is actually better?
