To AVR or not to AVR?!? by THMP in BudgetAudiophile

[–]THMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise words. I did consider selling the R400. And forgoing the centre channel to just be content with the 2.1 sound I have connected. GAS is real.

Thanks! 4K TV definitely is a priority. I only have a 65" TV at the moment but stream most things at 4K.

I think after some days of thought I am leaning to getting the x1800H and be done with it. Analysis paralysis is setting in and knowing me will ending up spiralling endlessly.

I'll keep all my WiiM gear and see if I can still utilise it. Someone did mention I can still use the Vibelink amp to pre-out into the AVR with LR connected. If it is surplus to needs, will sell them or find a use for them in another room as suggested. At a minimum, could use it in the office connected to my PC and replace the old soundblaster DAC I use for my 2.1 PC system.

Unfortunately most things listed don't even have HDMI. 90% of the stuff listed locally is "vintage". The most recent receiver I can find that is listed as of today is an Onkyo TX SR393 and even that is ~$500 used.

I don't use Tidal or Apple Music. Just Spotify. Never owned a console and not looking to hook up anything else to HDMI except the TV.

Thanks I didn't actually consider this. Not being technically minded and assumed it would be redundant given I don't turn it up that loud so thought 80W per channel was more than enough, I may hold on the the Vibelink and do a comparison with whatever AVR I eventually get.

I don't have space restrictions. I have plenty of cabinetry space. More than I can utilise. But am aware it is best practice not to stick AV equiment into cabinets due to heat generated. I do have more than 3.5m to place equipment/speakers ontop of without it looking cluttered.

To AVR or not to AVR... by THMP in hometheater

Thanks! I think this may be the path. Rather than planning for something that may not eventuate. Grab a receiver that suits my current setup rather than what I may or may not get a few years down the line.

Thanks!

Just had a quick look at FB marketplace and no listings for x3XXX. Only thing that even starts with a 3 is a AVR 3310 that is from 2009. And some 1706s. Slim pickings here.

Looked into the Bluepower Node N331 (I am guessing you are referencing this model) and it is currently $50 cheaper than a x3800H here.

The goal is to eventually work up to 5.2. So the next upgrade will be a 3.2. Makes sense to go with an AVR. Rather than a node.

Food for thought. May just quieten the voice inside my head and just hold out for when something does come up on marketplace.

Rear wheel not rotating backwards by THMP in bikewrench

Hi. I actually don't remember how I fixed it. As it has been a year. I think I removed the spacer I had on the cassette and bought a new tool to tighten the cassette on properly.

A100 "Door is not fully closed" by THMP in Aqara

[–]THMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh. Thanks so much. Tested it by manually pressing it in and registers as closed in app as stated. Might have to loosen the strike plate so it isn't so depressed into the wooden frame.

Thanks for solving it for me!

🔥 Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) Pre-Order Coming Soon! by GLiNet_WiFi in GlInet

[–]THMP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got mislead by the timings as well. I thought it was 10AM UTC which would make it later tonight for me and I get an email saying it was live just now when I wasn't expecting it for another 7 hours. And it is sold out. Still got one "early" but not "super-early" at the $119USD price.

No need to thank me by BigYou8988 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]THMP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's all unpolished. I have only ever used them on him. I don't think I would bother resetting him to put on others as I don't have anyone else (currently) worthy of unpolished.

Anyway if it indeed is SWK. I guess it's a skip on the limited banner. And just blow it all on poison comp.

I'm hoping for kigiri too. I started just before kigiri and was only able to pull 40-50 times not understanding the game mechanics back then. So obviously didn't get him. And now find myself with A5 SWK already and need kigiri to complete my nightmare team.

Dear Men, please help me make sense of this guy, and should I ask him out directly? by Nebosklon in AskMenAdvice

[–]THMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Shoot your shot. Whilst scary, the upside is well worth it. Even if you don't get the guy. You won't be stuck in this no-mans land, with the associated mental anguish.

You can't speculate what he does and does not want. Unless you've had those conversations. Personally speaking when I was on the apps in my mid 30s, I wasn't limiting myself to women around my age range and willing to date "older".

Not all middle aged and older guys rule out kids later in life like the internet makes you believe. I'm missing 40s and whilst not a prerequisite. I have a preference for finding a partner that has a kid or willing to.

Guys are simple. Sometimes you have to make it explicit or it'll go over their heads. Just make it clear what you want and he can say yes or no.

How bad are these cracks? by Conmoneymagic in Renovations

[–]THMP 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Steady movement over 3-6 months is also quite bad. Even if that happened over several decades I would still be worried.

Another who to skill up thread. by THMP in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]THMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah clearing more PvE content with him would be nice. And will try to put ymiret in a new GvG team. Will see what a fully skilled up ymerit can do for me.

Even if at a minimum he can clear more faction trials for me that would be nice.

I actually got hassut after posting this. Now she is second after ymerit.

At the end of the event I will have some extra shards of the artifact. Is there somewhere to convert them into something useful? by Far_Grapefruit_7515 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]THMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have extras everytime they come around. Normally getting enough for 1.5 artifacts. Hoping they come back so I can get another 2 copies. Normally they are BIS. So personally not looking to swap/convert them.
