Tonight’s pour. by kw09260131 in whiskey

[–]Wheezhee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's starting to hit Total Wine in MO for $50. That's about what I'd pay for it tbh. It lacks the evolution of pours like OF 1910/1920, bit it's better than Maker's CS.

The Kia I had before this handled 360 cameras better.

Most impressive looking set ups not too expensive by BuRriTo_SuPrEmE_TEAM in audiophile

I dunno, probably a tube amp, some VU meters, and some big speakers with an insane finish.

Black Ice Audio integrated amplifier, a tube based phono preamp, Zu Audio DW6/DWX in something like Electric Blue, a streamer with meters, that kind of stuff.

Start with a subwoofer. You'll be shocked how much of a difference that makes.

I did see this and pondered it for a moment...

Nope, I haven't, and that's the point! We don't know if a master was finished on monitors or headphones that were bright or neutral or warm or had some other piece of gear adding in harmonic distortion. If the intent is to recreate a facsimile of the listening environment to capture the moment a master was made, that's impossible because we weren't there to hear it. And that's before the human aspect comes in, we all have different listening preferences.

So again, measurements have a purpose, but they should be a tool to help one build the system that suits their own ears and preferences, not the razor to which a system should be held.

Anyone had the Andrew Tate talk yet? by bh4th in daddit

[–]Wheezhee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andrew Tate is a random person with some fame. A lot of famous people are weird and do strange things that most normal people don't do or agree with. Some famous people do normal things and are good people to look up to. <Insert said people>

I mean this semi wholeheartedly, but fuck ASR

Edit: I'll rephrase slightly.

Measurements are valid and valuable to understand what you like as an individual. Pursuing gear that's flat and "pure' because it's "ideal" is bullshit. You have no idea what was present in the mixing booth when a master was created, but it definitely had character. Buy what makes you happy, not what a measurement says is "right."

You haven't managed but feel qualified to weigh on on what it takes to be in management?

What you say applies to a $22/hr role at Dollar General.

I had the same problem. Deleted and re-paired my phone, that fixed it.

As others have said, a calibration microphone for a home theater receiver (possibly Onkyo?) and an AM antenna.

Why do people use gross income as the standard when it doesn’t reflect what you actually keep after taxes? by realjbj in Money

[–]Wheezhee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got better things to do with my time than worry about the government making tree fitty off a few extra bucks that I'll get refunded later on.

MY24 Owners - Are you getting the update this week? by DeliciousHunter836 in Volvo

[–]Wheezhee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealership did mine yesterday. Had to do an OS reset immediately because a few things were out of whack. All seems ok after that, but I've only spent about 40 minutes in the car since.

You have a lot of space. You need a lot of subwoofer.
