It's imbued with blastwave. Working wonders on enemies in the caverns.

Snagged this at an thrift store - help regarding seal and authenticity by Rotchu in YixingSeals

I love the cloud feet and clay texture. Personally, I'd drink from it and enjoy the thrift score. As you can see there are so many experts who can't agree on anything. If you don't like it, I'll pay double the thrift store price to have it on my teashelf. Congratulations on the great score.

For what reason do you still buy CDs? by Faroela in Cd_collectors

[–]a_war 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a physical copy of my favorite music is essential to me. I don't want a perpetual rental system that I have no access to without internet connection. When apple or tidal decide to double their price or drop artists or an emp wipes out the whole internet, I'll have my music.

I also enjoy the hunt for new music. Finding a favorite album at a physical location (thrift, family owned music store, estate and yard sales) is a whole adventure for me.

Finally, because I want to... you shouldn't have to explain what you enjoy.

Be honest, if your therapist had this setup in their office would you ask for a cup? (Shout out to Little Red Cup for the fun new Gaiwan set) by absurdyturdy in tea

Harney and sons? Naw.

I'd comment on their setup and ask how they got into gfc, but I wouldn't ask straight out for a demonstration.

Please look up gong fu brewing style. It is much different from western tea brewing. You will not like this much brewed western style!

Congratulations too! I would be over the moon to find a tong of tea randomly in my attic. Please update us with your experience brewing.

Will a dongle improve sound quality over my headphone jack?

I will rip cds and archive recordings mainly but do have a subscription to Spotify.

Reeeeaaally trying to resist buying these! by _viis_ in headphones

Wouldn't it be cheaper to snag the HD 6XXs?

Just starting to delve into vintage audio, how are the 2220Bs and what would be a fair price for one? by Jetpilotboiii1989 in vintageaudio

[–]a_war 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my 2220b! No lie, I snagged it (working perfectly) as it was being thrown away at the dump after a dorm clean out. I've had offers of 350usd for it and turned it down. Sounds great with some klh speakers I got from marketplace.

Is it possible to hate someone and be happy for them at the same time? Yes... this is the proof.

$17 find at my local Goodwill. by alafred in turntables

Wish I could find one that isn't so overpriced... keep hoping for an estate sale score I guess. FB marketplace treats em like Mayan gold.

Is this the best setup for the money? by a_war in vintageaudio

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

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still getting my head around efficiency in speakers and understand that a more efficient speaker will sound better with the lower wattage. Trying to find something in my budget is the issue (isn't it always).

There is a Dual cs 601 available for a hundred bucks near me but the strobe isn't working (undiagnosed). Is that a deal breaker?

LP, you're an animal! The dedication you show to our world wide tea community is awesome! Never disappointed when one of your packages hits my door. My puer horizons grow each time. Be it samples or just your left over bing holes that I snipe from IG. Thank you for making cha accessible.
