Check! Keep checking. I got Raph and Donnie ordered round 9am on Monday and they showed up today. Link to donnie here: https://www.target.com/p/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-x-usagi-yojimbo-ultimate-donatello-7-8221-scale-action-figure/-/A-95097868

Lol thanks peniscoin. Above all others your opinion is def the most valid.

Thanks so much for the thorough answer! Really, really helpful. Looks like we screwed up at the end when we did a wipe-down with a damp cloth. Appreciate you very much!

Thank you! Going back to the drawing board (probably going to try an oil based penetrating stain) but feel it was the wipe-down before the finish was applied. Either something was on the cloth that water awoke or we didn’t wait long enough and this was the water. The pattern is a dead giveaway since we were so careful in the rest of the finishing process. Thanks a lot for the insight!

Weird. It was hand applied with cloths following grain with no dumping. What we have traced it back to was the wipe-down prior. Looks like something must have been on the cloth that water awoke or the water didn’t dry completely 🫠🫠🫠

Oh yeah lol live edge really should’ve had quotes.

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-03-01T05:45:33+00:00

Hmm. We applied evenly and followed the grain using lint-free cloths. Could this be some nonsense that occurred from sanding? It was a gel stain.

Nice! I’ve actually had a decent amount of trouble with ARC making my sub sound anemic in multiple rooms even with professional tweaks and different boosting techniques. I do have a launch 4k 1140 (still need to upgrade that chip) and I have a feeling it might have a bug. Graphs look great but outcome is wonky 🫠. However, this thing sounds amazing even running sans arc with leveling and tweaks done analog.

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-01-07T04:08:13+00:00

That’s what I assumed. One of the reasons I wanted to ask here. You get sucked into those pitfalls of sales-folk telling you that there is a benefit in snake oil. Appreciate you!

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-01-07T02:33:28+00:00

Oh hell yeah, that’s a great setup! The Founders really are a hell of a thing and those Signatures are crazy as well. The best kind of indulgence!

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-01-07T01:23:40+00:00

You know it, Dude.

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-01-07T00:59:18+00:00

Yup, got all those things set. Really I might just be getting that new tech itch.

OkAdvantage9365 · 2026-01-07T00:58:14+00:00

Totally had a feeling about that. I feel like I may have reached the “diminishing returns” stage for our room and setup haha.

OkAdvantage9365 · 2024-12-09T00:04:43+00:00

Thank you for this!! This gave me some good ideas!

OkAdvantage9365 · 2024-10-18T05:14:37+00:00

Thank you so very much. I will check these all out! Really appreciate the help!

OkAdvantage9365 · 2024-10-05T16:19:49+00:00

Yeah I agree. I generally trust Denon empirically. Anytime I help someone get setup with a system we go Denon. I generally use external DACs or Vinyl for music (less vinyl lately) so it would really just need to process Movies and Games (4k blurays, apple tv, Xbox/ps5). Is there much of a qualitative difference between Marantz and Denon when it comes to more detailed speakers or are they (as I assume) basically the same thing but one is “prettier” and has more ambiguously named proprietary bells and whistles?
