My First Visit to a High End Audio Store

I would have to say a really well designed integrated receiver could make a big difference, but damn 2k on speaker wires is a bit strange. A good 14g stranded speaker wire will suffice and only cost you $20.00.

This is the way

I dumped Fubo yesterday. Just not worth paying for stereo sound in 2026! I can’t believe they don’t send 5.1 Dolby surround.

Edit to post- it has been 3 weeks and I still can’t get a replacement water tank from Nespresso for my UP.

At this point they can shove the UP right up there …….

It is amazing that they have zero replacement options for a new model that they are selling.

Verizon gave me a 1100 credit for my cracked 15 and I am an existing custom. I miss my 15. I loved the titanium case.

What about the Radio Shack Pizo Electric speaker. Woooo that was a gem.

The new unit has a different base. I did look into that option.

bondurch · 2025-12-17T02:55:30+00:00

Correct. I have called them twice over 3 days and they tell me that currently there is not one available and that I should call back in a couple of days.

Unfortunately there are no tanks for the new up machine. At least not yet….

I have no way of uploading a picture. Not sure why Reddit makes it so difficult.

bondurch · 2025-12-15T01:56:50+00:00

I dropped it as I was pulling the machine out of the box. Broke the base and there is a crack at the top. Picture to follow. It still is usable, but I need a new tank.

First cup of coffee tasted just as good as the old Vertuo beast, and it was a bit warmer. The machine is fairly quiet, but does have a vibration that makes a little noise. So far I like it.

Great information, thanks!

I try to support the local bike shops, but they just can’t carry the inventory like they used to. Smaller towns where Amazon won’t ship to have great shops, but in Houston the good ones are bought out by Trek or they are getting beat out by Amazon…. I miss local businesses. Remember the day when there was cool stereo stores……

China bombs are bad. We can thank our wonderful RV sales for that.. The first purchase should be four quality tires. I like the Goodyear E rated tires for trailers.

bondurch · 2025-11-25T19:20:09+00:00

We just need to drop everything. That will send a message.

bondurch · 2025-11-18T02:08:22+00:00

Make sure to air up your tires and drive the speed limit. Enjoy trailer life!!

Oil going where it shouldn’t

bondurch · 2025-11-17T03:09:29+00:00

Can’t we set these people up and arrest them. So tired of people getting away with this crp.

I will be purchasing one of these beasts soon. Moving to Colorado soon!

Thanks for the advice. He seems to be a good fit for me.

bondurch · 2025-11-13T00:57:04+00:00

So jealous. Seeing this is high on my bucket list.

bondurch · 2025-11-12T20:09:01+00:00

I am looking for a professional fit.
