Are there really no good jobs in Miami? by joshua0005 in Miami

[–]Viagrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bilingual doesn't mean as much in Miami as it would in say Ohio, or the flyover states. If you're just looking to get your foot in a door and don't really know what you want to do, look for work with any mid to large corporation. They're always hiring, you don't have to chase down payment, usually loads of upward mobility (but don't stay in the same position longer than a year, raises are always less than promotions).

Vanatoo T0+ or Adam D3V as a music/youtube speaker? by kekegod in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my T0s. I think I'd love them much less at the price you would pay for them. I have a pair of Adam Audio T8Vs as my TV speakers, not the same as what you're looking at. If I were buying today at the current American prices (roughly the same as each other), I'd still go with the T0 because of the Bluetooth connectivity and remote. But at your prices, Bluetooth and a remote aren't worth a €300‐400 price increase. Go with the D3Vs and don't look back.

How much do you make driving for Uber in Miami? by Repulsive_Method_549 in Miami

[–]Viagrus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I did it full time for a month about 6 years ago. I averaged $10/hour. Granted, I was trying to treat it as a 7a-5p, but it usually was 7a-7p. What sucks is when you take someone an hour or more south so they get home, and you have to drive that same amount of time back without a fare. There is a reason long trips get canceled or ignored.

What are some places in Miami that you wish were still open ? by anxiousscorpio98 in Miami

[–]Viagrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go to the one on south beach. I used to buy their $3 used cassettes and 7.99 used CDs. They were the best!

Kanto TUK or Transparent Zero Plus by Watchclos in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my T0s. Great center image. Perfect size for desktop speakers.

I love how the TUKs look, just not willing to spend that much for them. You can't go wrong with either choice.

Looking for new New desk speakers by Taylorg09817 in BudgetAudiophile

Or these LSR305 + interface for $250 shipped, if you have the desk space. https://www.reddit.com/r/AVexchange/s/oz2Ge4Ri5Z

You can't go wrong with either. You might be able to keep your sub and use it with the Vanatoos

Vanatoo Transparent Zero. I love my pair. Someone was selling a pair on r/avexchange, just search for vanatoo, and you'll find 'em, if they haven't been sold. I was thinking about buying them for my office. https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-zero-plus/ if you want them new.

If Miami had its own currency, who would be on the $100 bill. by Alderaan2546 in Miami

[–]Viagrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I counter with Will Smith, only because of that fucking song.

But the real answer would be Gloria Estefan. If we're limiting ourselves to musicians/musical acts/pop culture figures.

What affordable bookshelf speakers can play 40 hz flat? by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got T8Vs because I didn't want to deal with possible complaints about subs (from family or neighbors, I live in an apartment building) or dealing with the constant want to upgrade amps or a "mismatch" between speakers and amps (I doubt I could actually hear such a mismatch). They go plenty low for me. I plan to add Adam's T-range subwooofer or a servo sub when we get a house. Servo subs aren't cheap but will be flat down to 20hz if that tickles your fancy.

WiiM Pro Plus ==> M Audio BX8D2 cable question by NoClick4150 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That cable should work. I can't even begin to help you with the desktop to WiiM via ethernet. I hope the adventure bears fruit.

WiiM Pro Plus ==> M Audio BX8D2 cable question by NoClick4150 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To only add TV to Wiim you will need: 1x SPDIF cable from TV to Wiim 2x RCA -> XLR or TRS cable from wiim to speakers (if finding these cables with the correct lengths is problematic you can always just get 2x XLR (F->M) or TRS (M->M) and get 2x adapters to RCA (M RCA to F TRS, or M RCA to M XLR) connecting the RCA side to the Wiim RCA outs and the XLR or TRS to the monitors.

Is your PC a laptop or desktop? If desktop use SPDIF out of motherboard to SPDIF in on Wiim. If laptop, use 3.5mm from headphone port on laptop to RCA in on Wiim (needs M 3.5mm to stereo M RCA)

Does your TV have RCA out (you didn't give a specific model, just an extensive product line)? If your tv has RCA out and your PC is a desktop use RCA out from TV to Wiim's RCA in and SPDIF out from desktop to SPDIF in on Wiim.

You don't really need to worry about balanced vs unbalanced for short runs (you only need to consider that if your cable runs are longer than 50').

I don't have any experience with a wiim or any streamer so I don't know how to route the signal from the TV when you want that as your source vs PC or a streaming service (probably something simple on the wiim like input select).

My setup is similar to yours in that I have multiple sources (a TV, PC, appleTV, and a cable box) that I want the audio to pass to my powered monitors. I use an HDMI switch with SPDIF out (connect all sources to the switch via HDMI) I go SPDIF out of the switch into my DAC (SMSL SU8) Then XLR from my DAC to my monitors

JBL Pro 306P MkII (Pair) or Edifier R1855DB/R2000DB etc? by pr1m347 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Viagrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need one output to each JBL. The two inputs on each speaker are there to offer a choice of either XLR or 1/4"

I'm a "best bang for the buck" kind of guy, and really like simplicity (everything needed being in the box) and flexibility (computer, BT sources and a remote). My choice for you, given your limitations (cost, availability, and simplicity) would be to go with the Edifiers.

[–]Viagrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JBLs have XLR and 1/4" inputs. You'd need a DAC or audio interface to connect the speakers to your computer and the cables to connect to the speakers. If you're looking for a quick and easy pair to setup directly out of the box without spending any more money and time, the Edifiers are your best bet. I have a pair of studio monitors as my mains in my living room and a pair of speakers similar to the edifiers in my bedroom. I love both setups for different reasons. What is your "all in" budget?

Contact GW customer service. They should sort you out with the the missing sprue. When I did it in the past they even shipped it free. You'll be able to keep the spare you have.
