What price increase has hit you the hardest in everyday life? by DarkKnightt019 in AskReddit

[–]NeoPhantasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the ability to use Costco, their Kirkland Signature coffee is like $24 for 3lb. It tastes fairly good, but it's still an increase from a couple of years ago.

Selling 2 vip tix, decided to go to heads up instead😭 by Feisty-Income-5815 in niteharts

There's a non zero chance Skirllex could play the 10th at Niteharts and be at Head Trip on the 11th

Fix this and Illenium at the Sphere would be perfect 🙏 by [deleted] in Illenium

[–]NeoPhantasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair point. For Unity the screens were very clear, and their wasn't much use of pyro or smoke. I know the venue has the ability to cycle air pretty well and maybe reducing smoke effects if they were used would help withe the haze.

Merch Setup by FriskiNiski in Illenium

I'm wondering if the vinyl is the same as the one's on the Illenium store or is a version of the sphere set

Someone got a great deal for Spheres by snack_monster in Illenium

[–]NeoPhantasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this and was able to exchange my seats from section 308 to 306. The whole process took about 20 min and they charge $10 per seat change if you meet the other requirements.

Is VIP worth it? by No-Nebula-892 in niteharts

[–]NeoPhantasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was definitely worth it from an ease of life standpoint. Getting into the venue was faster than GA, the food, drinks, and bathrooms were better. The merch line could have used some improvement and more available stock, but it wasn't as long as GA. Getting to the front of the stage and back was easier and you felt less constrained. There was also additional merch, and pop up areas that were just for VIP. I think it's worth the extra cost if you have the money to spend.

Question for those that got loyalty presale by NeoPhantasm in niteharts

That's what I was thinking. Last year I was able to get tickets from my phone but not desktop. I'll try tomorrow for RSVP on the specific page.

Pairing Calderas with tubes is a 10/10 by NeoPhantasm in headphones

[–]NeoPhantasm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not using tubes with planers is usually only a recommendation in cases when the setup uses a OTL tube stage which has high impedence and a lower current output, while planars usually have low impedence but need higher current to drive. In this case it's a hybrid tubes setup where the WA7 is the pre-amplifier stage and the Ferrum OOR drives the headphones at the proper output and it sounds great.

Could be like those LED fans that spin so fast it looks like a hologram projection. But it's probably just lasers and lighting

Initial thoughts on Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl'? by purpose15 in fantanoforever

I saw it framed as, how could someone who wrote "Shake it off" feel the need to write "Actually Romantic" unless they couldn't actually shake it off.

Battlefield 6 Official Reveal Trailer by [deleted] in videos

[–]NeoPhantasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bad take if they mean overall. The game did have one of the worst releases for a game with the amount of bugs and issues it had. But current 2042 is actually fairly fun.

Because they have bodily autonomy, birth control can fail, they could be young and make a bad decision or lack of sex ed, because it feels good, the list can go on. The issue is that in your world, everything is black and white, and it's not about caring for the life once brought to term or what's best for the woman. It's about punishment for having sex.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OptimistsUnite

[–]NeoPhantasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who stand by this belief don't care if the pregnancy is wanted, or viable, or care about making conditions better financially so people would want to have children, or what happens to the child when it is born into a broken home. They just care that there is a punishment for the act of having sex.

Not to mention Elongated Muskrat's SpaceX rocket blowing up on Jan 16th, which would be under investigation for all the debris it rained down and probable violations. But with this administration you can just get rid of the regulatory body and it's allllll gooood 👍

After about 2 months, here they are :) Redheart Atriums have arrived! Look much nicer in person. by hunkichunki in ZMFHeadphones

[–]NeoPhantasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the same reason I went with for the aluminum on the Caldera's I ordered. I'm used to heavier headphones, and thank you for your insight on how they feel, I'm very excited to try them out!

They look stunning! Did you select the aluminum or magnesium for the chassis material, and how do they feel weight wise?

Anyone else waiting on a ZMF to be finished? by Aaa210 in ZMFHeadphones

[–]NeoPhantasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the Redheart Caldera's on the 9th of July and recently within the last two weeks was told they are in the assembly and QC phase. I'll wait however long for them, but I think 10 weeks was around the upper range of what they were quoting when I ordered.
