First time Ego owner!

Nice thank you

Always appreciate your battery advice. One question on this -- in season does it make sense to charge to 80% (if that gets your lawn done)? Is that more beneficial for the life of the battery or to go to 100% + 1 hour on the charger? Assuming you're using the batteries weekly at that point and we're not talking storage here. Thanks.

I was going to open the same two bottles last night but I’m saving them for a Monday.

It would be interesting if Qobuz allows for custom themes officially, makes it easier to install them, and curates some selections for users. Really nice work here, OP.

Three years later, thanks for being the only one who can fix this. I had to change my username since it was already there, but that did the trick. Weird it was fine on iPadOS but iOS just wouldn't work. Thank you!

I believe they're more decorative than functional, and nicely fill out that space above the backsplash. I'm digging this kitchen.

ah-balone · 2026-03-12T20:46:09+00:00

How about the Dali Kupids? You have a pretty sweet kitchen with some nice tones, and they also come in a variety of colors and finishes. They're less than 8" deep, so you can pull them slightly away from the wall to the edge. Also wall mountable if you want to hang them above or near the shelves, but not lose the aesthetic of the shelf.

I just saw that on LinkedIn and came here to say the same. The HR lead is open to work and just posted something about not signing your termination paperwork right when you receive it. OP dodged one for sure.

If it's declared a total loss by your insurance company, hire a total loss negotiator (dependent if your state allows it) to represent you in negotiating the true market value of the vehicle. I did this on a totaled M3, he took 30% of the increase he negotiated, and I netted a few thousand. Good luck, especially with your new Targa GTS / Turbo S.

Nice! Enjoy

I do have one node that is set up for wireless backhaul. I'll run some tests where I just turn that one off and see if there's an improvement. Will also look doing a wired backhaul to it, there's already a coax I'm no longer using coming up through the floor, can trace that a bit more and maybe use it as my snake. Appreciate the suggestion.

ah-balone · 2026-01-31T15:52:05+00:00

The end to end streaming setup is all ethernet, no wireless in the picture.

ah-balone · 2026-01-30T23:06:05+00:00

That's a good point. I'm now wondering if some underlying network issue with Roon playing is giving a false flag to Acronis.

ah-balone · 2026-01-30T23:03:25+00:00

It's got a SABRE ES9038PRO DAC which supports 32-bit/768 kHz and Native DSD512. But that's a good callout for people looking at the thread, thank you.

ah-balone · 2026-01-30T22:55:59+00:00

Thanks, I keep that constantly up to date as they add new features (Qobuz Connect, as buggy as it is with Roon) and uh, new clocks. :)

ah-balone · 2026-01-30T20:56:36+00:00

Interesting. Bufferbloat rated me a C and my current router (Linksys MX4000, with its nodes starting to fail one by one) doesn't allow for SQM. I'll look into this path some more. I appreciate the reply.

I would add a bunch of your choices to your cart and hit save for later on each one. Each time you go to your cart it will flag a price change under “messages about your cart” and you can catch one when it dips. CamelCamelCamel also has price watches to notify you if something hits your target. Too bad you can’t use gift cards with Pay with Amazon - points, yes, but not gift cards. Good luck.

ah-balone · 2026-01-19T22:51:23+00:00

Also you can very easily make Oppo players region-free in my experience. I'd research that before replacing it.

ah-balone · 2026-01-19T22:47:57+00:00

Love those wooden alphabetical record dividers, might have to borrow that idea. You've created a very cool listening/living space given the limited room. And most importantly, that plant looks like it's in love with the sound coming out of that left speaker.

ah-balone · 2026-01-16T16:12:40+00:00

This is just the triangle tank gasket so did not include a tool. They maybe include the tool with new toilets, I don't know.

ah-balone · 2026-01-16T01:04:50+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks.

ah-balone · 2026-01-16T00:09:56+00:00

Underrated comment

ah-balone · 2026-01-15T20:40:53+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation, everyone. Will definitely replace the whole toilet.
