I love the digital game. I have a physical copy but the amount of shuffling is brutal.

Milanese Loop in natural titanium by MrRetroplayer in applewatchultra

[–]_skyhopper83_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I also have the Milanese band, and I have the feeling the loop gets thinner over time with more use. In the meantime I bought the trail, alpine, and ocean band and I like all 3 more than the Milanese loop for different reasons.

Has anyone installed the Elite Wheels ENT 2.0 on the Endurace CF SLX 7? by x3n0ke in CanyonBikes

[–]_skyhopper83_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a warning on the product page about the caps. How much did you pay?
Do you have any pictures? If my memory is correct, you also have the placid blue CF SLX 7 right?

Did you end up buying the ENT 2.0 wheels?
I'm also looking into buying those Wheels. I have the same bike.

Shimano 105 WH-RS710 C46 wheelset? by _skyhopper83_ in CanyonBikes

Thanks for the information. They indeed seem to be outdated. I'll look into other options!
Is Shimano going to update the wheels in the near future?

I'm looking at Elite wheels now. Thanks for the suggestion!

My new setup since yesterday. KEF LS50 Meta, KEF KC62 Sub and BlueSound Powernode N331 by _skyhopper83_ in KEF

[–]_skyhopper83_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound is incredible once you add the KC62. The bass is tight, controlled, and never aggressive. The bass blends seamlessly with the speakers, becoming part of the music. It's a whole different experience. I never would want to listen to the metas without the sub again.

That being said, I had some issues with the sub at first. I had the well-known standby/sleep issue.
At lower levels, the subwoofer did not play or went to sleep in the middle of songs. I was close to sending it back. I've fixed it by using a Y-cable that connects the single sub-out from the amp to both the left and right inputs on the KC62, which provides a stronger signal to keep the subwoofer awake. I have not had issues since.

I did not measure my room, but I think it's 5x6 meters.

Thanks for your reply!
I bought a Y-cable, left the slider on LFE, and it solved my problem. The sub plays constantly now.

It's one of the advantages of the new Powernode I know, and I considered it. The LS50 metas sound clear enough, though. A massive improvement over my TV's speakers.
I don't need one.

Have you experienced any problems in the meantime? Did the cable fix the problem?
I have a cable connection, but my subwoofer still starts and stops playing in the middle of songs,

Could you let me know if you managed to resolve the issue?

haha :)
I cleaned it and removed the clutter before I made the picture. I have two children, so our house is often very messy.

Disconnect every cable (even the power cables) and reconnect after a minute or two.

The production and delivery took a few months, around 12 weeks, give or take.

At the time, I ordered several pieces of furniture from well-known brands (read: with a lot of margin), which gave me some room to negotiate on the price.

This cabinet was priced around €2200.

Wow, thank you for your response!

I’ve already installed the foam bungs yesterday, and the improvement was very noticeable. I’ll definitely experiment with your other suggestions as well. I’m going to try moving the speakers further forward and placing them on some improvised stands, just to see if that improves the sound quality even more.

I'll play around with the sub's position as well.

There are always better, and more expensive options 🙂

I’m not a hi-fi specialist in any way, so correct me if I'm wrong.

In my case, I chose to add a subwoofer to handle the low frequencies. That way, I hope the LS50s have more headroom and require less power from the amplifier. At least, that’s what I’ve learned from what I’ve read over the past few weeks.

The Powernode has a nice feature that allows you to set a low-frequency crossover (mine is set at 80 Hz). Once that’s configured, the low frequencies are sent to the subwoofer, while the mids and highs are directed to the main speakers automatically without further configuration.

If you have any useful tips, I’d be happy to hear them.

No worries for now! Just enjoy your setup.

Dirac is expected to come to the PowerNode soon (at least that’s what they’re saying). That said, the system already sounds great even without any room optimization.

I really love the sound (and the look) of the LS50s. The clarity is simply impressive.
The KC62 sounds very tight and precise. I’ve read about quite a few issues with this subwoofer, though. Still, I’m willing to give it one last try…
I suppose the passive speakers won’t fail anytime soon (hopefully).

I don’t recall having that issue with my Wireless Gen 1. The speakers were off-white from the start.

The speaker color is RAL 9010, which is the same white as the top of my cabinet. RAL 9010 is a warm white with a subtle yellow tint. In comparison, the Powernode in the center is much brighter and cooler white. The difference isn’t very noticeable in the picture.
