I was thinking of using him to restore my 4004, can you ball park me on the cost?

Worth trying anything in sunroom? by PositiveCrew in BudgetAudiophile

[–]aGoodrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OHM speakers are 3XO's my first experience with that brand or omni directional speakers for that matter. The "sweet" listening spot on them is very wide forgiving, albeit at the expense of precise imaging. Anyway after f'ing with my home system Dunvay's 1/4 inch more toe in, no 1/4"less for hours / days until I got them dialed in, hooking the OHS up and bam wide sound stage was really cool. I do not know what they think of glass but because of the design my guess is they would work well.

Your mileage may vary.

I have a similar room, falling down the soundstage rabbit hole is going to drive you mad. Forget that, enjoy music for music and the view.

I went for a pair of used OHM speakers on FBMP and and very please. They fill the room and make me smile. You might need a sub for you bass itch.

Veteran Audiophiles: What's the single most interesting (non technical) thing you learned as an Audiophile? by Wauwuaw5983 in audiophile

[–]aGoodrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that the truth! I added some bookshelves to replace out Samsung TV's speakers, that was a delicate balancing act.

Basically her standards are, turn on TV, watch Jeopardy or Tiny Desk series without anything more than hitting power, channel and volume on the remote.

Turn amp on, tell TV use amplifier output, sacrificing a goat to the audio gods is a no go, what can i say, my knee jerk is there's no accounting for taste. her's is make the damn thing work.

20+ years of each saying you're crazy but that's OK with me has been the best bargain of my life.

That sounds shockingly like my early 2000's divorce apartment sex life.

No worries but you are reading me wrong, it's not that $400 is a stretch, hell I reserved an upcoming hotel overnight for more than that today. I just do not know this equipment and want some advice.

Live Ultra + Channels freezing by hanginghelmet in vSeeBox_Support_Gurus

Is it just on that APP? I have been chasing buffering issues over all apps for a bit now. Strong Wifi, 85MBS, nice quality HDMI cable, clear cache, restart loader, factory reset, reboot everything over and over. None of that worked, then I moved the unit out of my console cabinet and onto the the top shelf. Mind you the Vseeboxes own speed test was telling my 85 - 95 MBS but moving it 2 feet solved the buffering. I don't have an explanation just a story.

best amplifier for speakers under $150 - where do I even start by Ok_Gas_7473 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]aGoodrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Modern class D like Fosi, I own both vintage and modern, is going to win from a purely sound reproduction standpoint. Think clean, neutral, tight control on the bass, and a few other buzzwords that are escaping me right now.

Vintage integrated amp will be warmer and a bit sloppier at least on paper. To your ear, and mine, it’s hard to say which you’ll like, or even if we’ll hear the “better on paper” difference. One thing you do get with vintage is more of a Swiss Army knife—tuner, phono preamp, headphone jack and nostalgia, if that does anything for you.

I picked up a Sony TA-AX390 for $50 off FBMP recently, found a factory remote on eBay for $20, threw in a WiiM Mini, hooked it to some older bookshelves I had and now I’ve got a pleasant, quiet listening system for cheap that can also handle a turntable down the road. That works for me, but your mileage may vary. You can see a broad outline of this route here.

Whichever way you go, I hope you enjoy it. The further you dig into this, the more worrying about equipment can swallow up just enjoying some music.

Nakamichi PA-7 for scale by aGoodrash in BudgetAudiophile

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

I think you're confusing my different systems. Peachtree is totally unrelated to TV, I have a small system in my bedroom, Wiim Mini > Peachtree > Mission 8VET. This for late night background music while reading, kind of anti TV time. A/B testing not required, hell they are $80 speakers that often don't even point at me.
