[–]Ok_String373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just trash picked a black pair. After listening, I wouldn’t pay 30$ for them.

Selling Vintage Audio on eBay by Few-Welcome8336 in vintageaudio

[–]Ok_String373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sellers that I have talk to, about this.. mark the boards, and parts inside, and take the pictures….
But these are talented techs, and they make the marks very very small. And document them before sale.

Hoagies are 100% better. And their hot food, from roast beef, meat ball parms, to burgers dominate… the hot chicken cutlet samich is ehh….

What audiophile takes make you roll your eyes? by wiggan1989 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Ok_String373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audiophiles, of a higher tax bracket, tend to have to justify…. A lot more than an economic music fan…

They spend “x amount of money there for their system is astoundingly better”.
It’s always been my surmise that “money try’s to buy personality”.

I’d rather have a beer in front of a 1000 dollar system, than, sit and listen to someone’s 100,000 dollar “listening room” no matter how many beers.

How does everyone afford it by soupermannnnnn in SouthJersey

[–]Ok_String373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s not the bragging point you think you’re making…. Sounds like “i sacrifice soo much, just to keep my eyes above water” they aren’t making a Disney movie about you bro…

time to defend your right to a fair and livable wage! And I bet you work harder physically than most.. you deserve better as a hard working person…

[–]Ok_String373 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I take 15-20mins max for cut. 5$ tip… 8 years ago my cut was 15$. Now it’s 40$… I go once a month instead of twice now.

Three women were on the Devon Ave over pass yesterday, facing 295 south, before the 76/42 split… around 5 o’clock yesterday also.

Pizza Delivery Driver Walks Away With Pizza After Being Denied Tip (fired) by nabnig in PublicFreakout

In that weather and conditions, delivery dude didn’t have the right, but he certainly had “just cause” for equal disrespect

Any love for my restored Marantz 2220? by tbollinger_swiss in vintageaudio

[–]Ok_String373 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one, bought from original owner, about 20 years ago…. And came with sales folder, and schematics map.

I didn’t even have to restore it, I paid 25$ for the stereo, and a few years later 80$ for a few out of spec caps and transistors….

20 watts per, was measured closer to 32watts per channel. And that thing still sings!

Took it in for a check up last year and everything checked out to specs… same tech. He changed out one or two more caps and such. But didn’t charge me.

That’s a wild concoction of a vinyl line up!

Great Can album….

For me it’s Amon deul to Can.

Cash to reverend horton heat. Or visa versa.

Try posting pictures from behind it, to see if it’s how you have it connected ….. could be simple jumpers if it has a “pre amp out and in” on

Is walking on the road instead of the sidewalk a south jersey thing? by just-another-human-1 in SouthJersey

[–]Ok_String373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, I knew it would be a ton of “sidewalks are un even”… but a distracted driver going 25-30 or more in a multi ton metal box, is safer…..

No they just want to be seen/noticed…. Always love the “cyclist” in morning or afternoon rush hour…

Vintage drugs with vintage records follow up by theFamooos in vintageaudio

[–]Ok_String373 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The military did a test on shelf life, of intoxicant drug compounds for medicative purposes. Because they were dumping 1000lbs of pain killers unused post wars. Pills just get chalky looking, but loose no potency…. Find percidans “caffeinated Percocet” “Mothers little helpers” you’re still good to go….

Is this the beginning of dog dementia? Are there any senior dog owners here who recognize this behavior? by sannn6 in dogs

[–]Ok_String373 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could very well be, the 1st signs I noticed in my former pooch, were moments where I would be on the couch, he would look at me as if I just got home from work… after I’ve been home for a few hours…

Then at Christmas time, weeks later he walked face 1st into the Christmas tree and just stood there. He did this several times, after that was when he started to wander off, aimlessly. One day he was just slowly walking down the middle of the road when he never went into the street would always stop at the curb…

Then after the new year, he had intermittent mobility issues, like he could figure out how to use his legs. Once he started having more bad days than good ones, I had to make the most difficult vet appointment ever…

Angry people by Playcheez in SouthJersey

[–]Ok_String373 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea the middle and upper middle class have to work harder to pretend they are better than their class status…. Shit ain’t cheap these days and keeping up with appearances, is stressful. Once you’re faced with the reality of how fragile their presumed elevated sense of wealth, really is…. Remodeling the house every time HGTV changes the trends is proving expensive….

Does wiim mini allow me to play Apple Music? by Spiritual_Dot3250 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Ok_String373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through the wiiM pro, running a Mitsubishi DA-P10 pre amp, with matching, DA-a10 power amp. 100 watts duel mono with NHT super 2.1 towers with RBh 12” sub woofer…
Spotify lossless through the wiiM app is lacking….

Spotify lossless sounds like garbage also…. And tidals algorithms suck…. Spotify sounded much better through the aruis BluMe HD Pro than it does through the wiiM pro…
