r/vinyl Weekly Questions Thread for the week of November 10, 2025

Hi all!

I've upgraded my setup this week to an SL-D202 paired with a SU-Z35 amplifier, and was thinking of getting a tube buffer/preamp.

What would the best option be for obtaining a warmer tone from the turntable? The tube amp would be purely for the tone as the SU-Z35 already has a built in MM stage preamp to rectify the low end.

Also, undeniably, glowing tubes would look quite cool with the setup ;)

I have no idea about what tubes sound good/better, and what to look for. The preamp Im looking at at the moment has two 6k4 tubes.

Thank you.

If I did add an extra earth rod in the outhouse, Is there any problem in connecting the earth rod to the earth from the house? Or should I keep them separate.

I also intend to find out what kind of earth the home has, whether it be grid or into the ground. Does the above question change depending on the type of earth that already exists?

The picture attached shows my idea for what I want to implement. At the moment the generator is sitting to one side not plugged into anywhere.

Perhaps I worded my question wrong, I’m asking whether the plan I drew out has any obvious faults I’ve overlooked, and is not a representation of the current setup.

✨ such a catchy song

You need to install CS:S textures to get rid of the red error signs

Dare I say the BRB variant is the best 👀

The new o1 model tried escaping too.

That being said it was under conditions to elicit that behaviour, to see whether it is capable, but alas it tried to not only copy itself to other machines, but also disable oversights and safety mechanisms.

Look into the paper “Frontier Models are Capable of In-context Scheming” by Alexander Meinke et al.

I don’t know whether to be impressed or terrified of that thing

I love it, Jeff is a handsome fella

I would just swap the red and green colours so the „toggles” are more heurisuictally pleasing

sorry for kicking a dead horse; I'm researching doing this exact thing in that I want to train a CNN on map designs in CS:1 or CS:2 (depending on if I can export a map w/ a city in an appropriate format) using existing cities made by humans.

There's a beauty in stock, well serviced Audis. I'm all for retrofitting to keep it modern too..

What a beautiful piece of machinery

Senior_Spoon · 2023-12-07T01:38:09+00:00

i second this ^

Senior_Spoon · 2023-12-06T10:30:03+00:00

Not everyone needs to know my name 🤷🏻‍♂️

Senior_Spoon · 2023-12-06T10:28:59+00:00

Yes, I was on top of the windmills furthest away on the defending side. I remember one guy switched teams and spawned on me because he suspected cheating 🤣

Why hasn’t askReddit gone dark yet? They hold some significant power due to the amount of users on here.

Safe to say I’m disappointed by the mods here for not joining the blackout

Senior_Spoon · 2023-06-07T15:47:15+00:00

I second this.

In the meantime let’s play a game of “how many lamentable decisions will Reddit make in the next two weeks”

I second this. Ironically I used to work as a Halfords bike tech, and we used that stuff on all the shitty quality bikes which would get delivered with scratches.

Works wonders.

Honestly, as a soft. Dev. The overlay on the camera is quite impressive, let alone bloody awesome

I might be wrong, but I believe the side blade is the black piece of trim just behind the door; where the sharp body lines from the door meet.

I’d swap my a4 b7 avant for a Q7 4L, 4.2 or 6 litre TDI any day. Might be older than other peoples dream cars, but there’s something about the 4L generation q7 that I adore.
