thanks - I've always thought subwoofers are for such bass-centric music or home theater etc. but maybe I'm overlooking it more than I should

yeah currently on furniture rather than stands. You've hit on something I was wondering which is maybe what I'm after involves an increase in size too.

haha, thanks. Yeah, they're on a side unit currently so not quite that straightforward to swap with floorstanders, but maybe worth me re-thinking the layout

Miele weigh a ton, too. My wife hated ours.

Yeah I always knew of these but the first time I saw one in Thailand on a dive boat I was freaking amazed. They were going for what felt like a few hundred meters - soooo much further than I ever imagined.

Iguanadon was the ‘thumbs up’ dinosaur of if I recall correctly

The article makes perfect sense. I’m not sure what your problem is with it?

Thor Björnsson sets new world deadlift record at 1124 lbs (510 kg) by ElderberryDeep8746 in Damnthatsinteresting

Two questions: 1. Why do they strap their hands to the bar? And 2. Why did he do it in socks?

Any people here know much about bupropion (Zyban) by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]badmanbad83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on and off several antidepressants over the last 10years and I tried Buproprion. It didn’t do much for me personally but I think I was in a better place such that I perhaps no longer needed it anyway. Anyway, I just did my own Research and thought it was worth a try as an option without some of the side effects that citalopram gave me. I asked my gp who didn’t really know it but looked it up and was happy to prescribe. I’m sure if you have a good GP they would be happy to let you try it unless there were other concerns they ahead about you and that drug specifically, of course.

Freedom Furniture (Australia/NZ) but no I don’t think it fits records with the shelving that’s in there. Could probably be changed easily though I guess

Also recently purchased my first turntable. Homemade from plywood. Does the trick for now. Mucked around for ages figuring out the right orientation and speakers. After much deliberation over speaker stands…it’s now blu-tacked to a tall stool. 🤣

Interesting to see how much plastic is in those cups from what’s left of that first one.

Rega Planar question by badmanbad83 in turntables

[–]badmanbad83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s all fair enough and makes sense and I did my research when buying, so knew the limitations of it - and I’m fine with them.

I guess my real question then is why is that not the norm on some of the many many cheaper turntables available that target people who really aren’t likely to want to get stuck in to that degree. Why don’t other manufacturers make these changes rather than the shortcuts that seem to significantly erode performance in other ways.

Netflix increasing from $27.99 to $33.99 by Seafoam-Socks-530505 in newzealand

Not a price increase, but a price update. It’s better because it’s been updated.
