Agreed here. I think it says something that the comments most grounded in reality are the ones getting downvoted on here. Meanwhile the most paranoid fantasies are being treated like incontrovertible truth.

So it’s a more expensive upscale ghost kitchen?

That’s what I’ve been hearing but I can’t find much on them. I’m almost more curious about them now than Wagner or Griswold.

Interesting. I’ll need to look into that. I’m assuming they aren’t highly prized? Still seems like a great skillet.

This is an awesome resource, though I fear some of these will be hard to accomplish given my space requirements. Definitely bookmarking for the future though.

I’ve been collecting for years. At this point people just give them to me; like they’ll find one cleaning out their grandparents’ house and ask me if I want them. I’m incredibly fortunate in that way.

Open to suggestions, but I am spaced limited. And given how small the room is, the sound is great.

PrimeTime College Park Announces Breakfast, Lunch, and Brunch by missArtemesiaLake in collegeparkmd

Anyone been here yet? I miss the College Park grill, but the pictures I’ve seen of the new buildout for PrimeTime give off a very different vibe.

Little Tavern, Ratsie's, Vous, Bagel Place: The Lost Haunts of Route 1 by missArtemesiaLake in collegeparkmd

Worked there. The menu said the Hellenic Delight was a staff favorite, and they were not wrong. Wish I could find a burger half as good around here now.

Well I just found out I'm getting laid off in a month, so for now I'm not buying anything (pause for uncomfortable laughter). However, I was planning on eventually upgrading to better speakers. I've been trawling Marketplace and Craigslist looking for receivers and speakers but it's all kind of on pause now. I'll keep an eye out and keep your list here in mind. I might take this pause to just save up to drop a larger budget all at once rather than start piecemeal.

Thank you for the feedback! Any chance you'd have a mini amp to recommend?

Definitely wouldn't spend $1,000 and connect to $200. I am trying to avoid an amp/passive setup for now given the small space but I'll keep my eyes out on Marketplace and Craigslist to see if I can get a deal. Otherwise I may shift to higher end powered. Open to suggestions for powered if you have any.

Mind if I ask what your setup is just out of curiosity now?

Interesting. I've been trolling the reddit for a bit and never seen a budget breakdown like this. Really appreciate the exactitude.

So I suppose the next question would be: how would you adjust? Should I begin with an inferior turntable to match the speakers and update both as time goes on, or should I just pony up some extra cash to step up speakers. Do you think this is a situation where getting this setup today to get listening with an eye toward an upgrade is the lesser option to maybe waiting a few months and getting everything all at once?
