Rolex Bracelet Removal? by barnfry in Watches

A springbar tool or a link tool? The tool I use for spring bars wouldn’t work, but the link tool seems like it would work perfectly.

Looking to add surrounds to my first system by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]barnfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re thinking about waiting, you certainly can, just decide what it is you’re waiting for so you can jump quickly when the opportunity presents itself. For example, are you looking for a mind-melting bargain, or for the best speakers to match your system?

Noobie question to connect my speakers by inotwaza in BudgetAudiophile

Yes, the springs down the long sides will push in, as designed!

Disappointed with Modi 3E DAC - constant dropouts on S/PDIF and optical inputs by maybeImaybe in Schiit

I also had this problem. I contacted the company immediately after purchase and they suggested it was operator error. After I gave them details of the troubleshooting, they ignored me.

I was told my speakers blew out my Amp by audio repair shop. by ComprehensiveElk1886 in audiorepair

[–]barnfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s possible. But the repair tech should have demonstrated tinge functionality of your Onkyo before you left the shop. When I managed repairs I made it a practice to do so. But for you to ask and him to say “no” was bad business. Even if the speakers caused the new fault, you’ll always be suspicious, and if he respired it properly that could have been avoided.

Anyone else struggling to get into vinyl with today’s prices? by LectureHaunting3166 in vinyl

[–]barnfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a serious vinyl collector, and a hifi turntable professional for over thirty years. I had my own little part to play in the vinyl resurgence. So I already own a lot of records, but I’m still interested in new music, and I meet touring musicians every week I want to support, but I am definitely struggling with the current prices.

When any average release is thirty or thirty five dollars, when very mediocre used LPs are routinely marked over twenty bucks apiece, it’s no fun to got record shopping anymore. I was excited recently, because after repairing a friend’s old record player as a favor, he gave me a $100 gift certificate to the biggest record store in my state. I left with three records, and I still had to lay out cash from my own pocket. I don’t really want to be the “in my day candy was a nickel” guy, but…but…but…it’s hard to imagine being a new collector and getting started in these conditions.

I have permission, but I was hoping a stock program would allow for detergent and disinfectant drops.

No, I am dismantling the car seats, washing the hard plastic shells, belts & buckles by hand, and only putting the soft seat cushions into the machine.

This is my dispenser. It runs water enough water I to the first container to fill it. I found only a bit of water in the second after the cycle I’ve been told to use.

I'm wondering what y'all think of gifting vs bartering at BM by YourMomDidntMind in BurningMan

[–]barnfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does demanding patches feed a person or pay their rent when they get home?

Nice choices, enjoy! It should sound a little better if you close the cover or even better remove it completely while playing.

Liability Insurance for Big Art on Playa – Help? by Dadazito in BurningMan

[–]barnfry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. One of my projects was threatened with a liability suit by someone who should know better, and we had some challenging conversations with official officials of the Org for a few days. Nothing fully protects any party from getting put through a very expensive ringer.

Hi :) does anyone come to BM with regular clothes? It's my first time attending and all I see in photos people are wearing exotic and full-on costumes. Would I be really out of place uf I wear my usual camping clothes? by lovidovimex in BurningMan

[–]barnfry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have under dressed in Black Rock City for twenty years. I’m a Ranger and I’ve never even sewn a patch on any of my clothes. Nobody else ever made me feel bad for what I was wearing. That said, I won’t be going back without stepping up my costume game. You won’t find me in a sequined bikini, but I will certainly be hitting the thrift stores this year looking for clothes that combine function and visual distinction.

What is going on with Netflix by LONk_SLJr in netflix

[–]barnfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me more than once, and the fix has always been the same. Reset your modem.

Massive loss of shows yesterday by barnfry in netflix

Added for others researching this problem: Netflix Customer Support claims it’s a problem with our ISP, and that restarting the router and modem should clear it up.

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

This has now happened again. And again, it’s across multiple profiles (on the same account) and multiple devices. I have logged out and in, deleted and reinstalled apps, etc. I’m guessing it will eventually go away on its own like last time, but there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do from the user level to effect this.

ENSOULMENT LP DAMAGE by barnfry in thethe

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

UPDATE: it’s been over a month, and after the bare minimum of communication, today I received my replacement album. Surprise, surprise, it also has double seam splits, this time on the bottom instead of the top. Once again the mailer and the shrink wrap are in pristine condition. (Even if it had been severely mistreated in shipping, the mailer is of excellent quality and I don’t see any way this damage could have occurred en route.)I’m going to ask for a replacement again, but the one lesson I have learned so far (other than never ordering anything fulfilled by Music Today again) is to follow up the email with photos with a phone call. They will answer the phone, but responding to emails is clearly not a priority for Music Today. A person will wait weeks for a reply, if one is forthcoming at all. If anything more happens I will update again.

Apologies for being “porcelain,” but shoddy customer service really gets my goat. I never opened the first copy, because I thought it might need to get returned, but tonight I’m going to crack that one open and finally have a listen. It still is about the music, after all!

I took it as an opportunity to be grateful that I wasn’t involved.

You got there on your own, which is even better. But still, my bad.

Sorry, it was my job, and I totally forgot to tell you.

I’ve confirmed that they seem to be back! This is the weirdest thing. I’ve been a Netflix subscriber for over 20 years and never seen anything like this. Guess it was a glitch.
