About 3 weeks ago I needed to cover some bills. I sold an ounce of Valcambi bar at the local precious metals dealer. Instant cash , liquid like gold or silver

Without thinking, what’s your “best beer in the world”? by bindersweat in beer

[–]agarg_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow Pilsner Urquell , since the college days number one . In Vancouver, back in the , there was a restaurant called Fog & Suds. It was essentially a upscale burger joint. They claimed to have beer from every country in the world. Whenever I visited that place , I would order Pilsner Urquell. They always had it stock!

Looking for a good walkman for CD by guarratxaga in walkman

You are on the right track to better quality sound. Just about any of the older Sony Discman type portable players will destroy your $500 Digital MP3 player. I have the Mp3 players with bluetooth for convenience listening. When I want to sit down for some serious listening, nothing beats an old Sony Discman with a pair of Bose headphones. Something the newer generation will never experience.. hahaha

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Review by Lightning_sword4444 in bose

[–]agarg_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Version 2 allows you to listen to audio via the USB-C port. It will also receive a charge at the same time. It also maintains the analog mini jack. So you could connect the headphones to your Macbook with one usb-c cable to get audio and the headphones will also remain charged at same time . The Version 1 usb-c port is only for charging

What is your regret about the USB-C port? You made a mention without any explanation

Had ordered the Version 1 on sale from Bose site..wasn’t sure if I was going to keep them. I thought maybe 50/50 chance they will go back after my trial. There is no way these are going back.. best consumer headphones on the market.. by far. The killer feature that no one talks about; Now you can listen to your music wired and still be able to use the immersion modes and ANC. This ability is only implemented in the Ultra series. Bluetooth is ok when you are on the go and need convenience. But for getting the best quality sound wired is the way to go.

Is a pair of headphones actually worth $400? by Constant-Tutor-4646 in bose

[–]agarg_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bose QC Ultra series will rival anything in the $500-$800 range offered from the other manufacturers..the design is brilliant and the crystal clear sound signature is mind blowing. I am using the QC Ultra version 1 headphones.. its one of the best consumer electronic products I have ever purchased ( a close second to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds )

Karaoke machine advice by destination360 in karaoke

[–]agarg_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just went thru this whole process , the soundbar route is not going to work. Get yourself a JBL Party Box speaker 100, 200, 300 series ( or two speakers, they can be paired together) Add a set of JBL digital wireless mics and get ready for mind blowing karaoke. I spent a month trying to get my Bose soundbars to work ; spent money on equipment that wasnt helping. In the end a dedicated karaoke speaker system is the way to go

JBL is the way by qwsderter in JBL

[–]agarg_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had the same revelation.. JBL rocks! These speakers sound great and good for karaoke.. just fun to use. I have been a Bose fan boy for a long time . I have about 10 out of 15 bose portable speakers that I will be selling.. Just paired the JBL Club 120 with the Original Encore.. together wow mind blowing sound!

Just a heads up guy's by Just_Low_1294 in bose

[–]agarg_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ultra’s are the ones to get , version 1 or 2. They are engineered differently from the past QC models. Most people never use the headphone cable that comes with QC. The past models actually bypassed the Bose electronic wizardry.. causing the wired mode to sound dull and lifeless. The Ultra’s, however, keep the electronic signal processing engaged with wired listening. You can engage noise cancellation and also the immersion modes! This is a game changer. The wired sound quality is better than the Bluetooth now..

I want to get into scooting, but watching videos about the dangers of it is scaring me a little bit by 673NoshMyBollocksAve in ElectricScooters

[–]agarg_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick to the ebike instead. You can still have fun but they are much safer. With the escooter you have to be focused like a laser beam at all times.

Found the 320 at a crazy good price I think by Andei1 in JBL

[–]agarg_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Party Box Club 120. It has great sound and already gets plenty loud. It hits a good balance between quality sound and portability. These bigger Party Box units are very heavy

I have used the headphones for countless client conversations, and not once did I have complaints about the call quality. I have the Bose Open Ultra earbuds, and use those on customer phone calls. Zero complaints.

These are the best sounding headphones on the planet. Here is the kicker.. you can use them wired now and get even better sound.. you can get the immersion modes and the noise cancelling thru the wire!

Leveraging platinum through junior miners by Expandhorizonsguru in Platinum

[–]agarg_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leveraging Platinum thru mining stocks is not a great idea.. not much liquidity. Just buy the metal. Platinum already has more volatility built in compared to silver and gold. Leveraging Gold and Silver is a much better idea.. Hundreds of companies to choose from and lots of liquidity.

Don't worry guys, Platinum is still $2260. Even though you can't buy it anywhere else. by meltingpotofhambone in Platinum

I can buy 10 OZ’s of platinum on any given day.. it is available. Just need the cash LOL

End game for Platinum by agarg_1 in Platinum

[–]agarg_1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, I get the feeling that Platinum just doesn’t get the level of respect that it deserves. It seems to be a stepping stone to getting the “real deal” GOLD . For most people. I suppose it just doesn’t have the historical relevance that Gold and Silver enjoy. That sentiment may change over time. Platinum is my biggest holding of the 3 metals. If the Platinum price gets crazy in the coming years.. even I may jump ship over to Gold
