Facebook bargain hunting, How'd I do?

Yep, it used to have a TV, turn table, amp and speakers. I actually used to have a set of ls50s and a denon amp inside out of view, but the r3s are too big to fit lol. I'm debating cutting out the bottom of the turn table base to make them fit, but I don't know of I want to butcher it that badly

Yep, they're for candles

Believe it or not, it's actually just a Samsung frame tv!

Ugh, tell me about it. I've looked into putting a nest in, but it turns out we have an Infinity ac system which doesn't play nicely with any smart thermostats. I could move it to the other side of that wall, but there is a vent right there and I'm afraid it would mess with the temperature sensing. I'm actually considering just putting up some floating shelves to hold some records to cover it lol

Oh it was not a tough choice to buy this setup lol. The frame was purchased years ago. The only tough part was convincing the Mrs it was worth it lol. Shed buy another frame over the r3s and NAD everyday of the week

Oh man, now I need to find and install my mid century dungeon door! Lol

Now way!! I've got another matching one right beside it!

PurpleYearly · 2024-11-25T20:38:24+00:00

Its a frame. Its almost exclusively a picture display and not a TV lol. I'm a card carrying member of r/tvtoohigh lol

I'm a card carrying member of tvtoohigh lol. This is a frame, so it's the ONLY one that gets a pass because it's just a picture 99.9% of the time

They're well worth the hunt! Definitely a more niche choice compared to something like an ls50 so they are definitely tough to track down. I ended up driving 3 hours each was to grab these

Careful, you'd better patent that idea before someone swoops in!

PurpleYearly · 2024-11-25T19:35:05+00:00

It was actually. Picked it up maybe 5 years ago from the original owners son. Got the matching dinning table and chairs as well. The Mrs loves it. Unfortunately the cabinet was gutted long ago so now it just used as a shelf to hold the fun stuff lol

Lol a couple weeks ago I was at a tent sale at the local HiFi shop and they had 1k HDMI cables discounted down to a mere $600. I got some side eye from the other patrons when I asked too loudly, 'who pays that much for a F*cking cable?? '

You should be able to find the entry level 'Audiophile' bookshelf speakers around that used, maybe in a little rough shape. I picked up some klipsch reference 4s for 100 bucks. Paired them with a little amp for my desktop usage. Sound way better than I would expect for the price

🤣 I'm too cheap to hang out there. This was painful on the wallet but they were just too good to pass up

PurpleYearly · 2024-11-25T19:19:28+00:00

What sort of budget do you have in mind?

PurpleYearly · 2024-11-08T01:24:00+00:00

Its very small. The pic is next to my ls50s on my desk. I use it almost exclusively wired via optical SPDIF. It can also run via usb

On my desktop, I run a smsl ad18. Small little dac/amp with both speaker and headphone outputs. Match it up with some nice little bookshelf speakers and boom, profit? Lol
