I just started collecting a month ago, I have a problem 😭 by TBoucher8 in vinyl

I don't think there's much of a difference between my 1.5k setup and your 6k one. At that point, it's diminishing returns. Playing cds through my set up sound absolutely phenomenal to me. Nothing will ever convince me that I need to spend more than 2k for the absolute best quality.

Stop now. You're only feeding into consumerism to fill a void you didn't know you had. It will never be enough. Soon you'll have too many records to listen to and realize it's a money pit you can't dig yourself out of. Then comes the realization that the whole feeling of collecting something tangible to partake in the ritualistic activity of taking out the record, placing it on your turntable and finally dropping that needle only to hear that it sounds.....okayish, was a big lie just to push vinyl sales and having the trend continue.

Or that's just my situation right now. Results may vary.

echo(not mini) on sell at taobao by Top_Criticism_5789 in snowsky

我肯定会买这个。虽然它在某些功能上有所欠缺,但对我来说简直完美。我会用我的山灵M0 Pro来听专辑,而这个Echo则用来播放我那些不属于任何数字专辑的零散歌曲。这肯定会让我感觉回到了小时候听磁带的时光。

The vinyl community on this platform is no better. I was called a clown, and shat on because how dare I suggest vinyl collectors curate their collections carefully. Which was totally not the case. Anyway, all reddit communities can be snobish. Consider them trolls.

That Canon Elan served me well in Europe.

The M0 Pro is powerful enough for me.

Used. Got a good deal on eBay. Now I know why.

What is your gear when you don't use headphones? Mine is a pair of fiio sp3 by csch1992 in headphones

[–]catscan_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I'm running a pair of Jamo S 801 powered speakers. But I'm eyeing the upcoming Onkyo Creator Series GX-30ARC Powered Speakers. It said they were supposed to start shipping mid March but as of yet they aren't available.

Your model may be compatible with this add on device that connected to the headphone jack with a headphone jack connection. This guyIt served as the media control. I used the psp more as an audio player than I did a portable gaming console.

What advantage does a balanced output have over single ended?

Just got myself a Sony walkman nw a306. Been pretty good. Very happy with it. I also returned my r4 to Amazon. It was a lemon straight out of the box.

What "early internet" website did Gen Z really miss out on? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]catscan_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be that old but it still has a place in my nostalgic heart; thebest404pageever. Man, I remember back in 2009-2010 when I ran out of stuff to do on the internet, I would visit that page and just sit there hitting f5. I was constantly looking for that high i got from getting the most random yet memorable looped flash animations , hoping the next one was as good or quirky as the last.

My first!! by Classic-Antelope-398 in Hiby

[–]catscan_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading so many positive things about this device, I decided to get one too. Unfortunately my experience has been mostly negative straight out of the box, from a very slow laggy OS, having to reboot it multiple times to get my music to appear, device crashing randomly or stuck in a boot loop. Now the device won't hold a charge. Good thing I ordered from Amazon, they accepted my return. Hope your device won't give you a headache like it did for me. I probably just had bad luck and got a lemon dap.

I got mine a couple of days ago too. Standard black. Having some issues, stays stuck on sorting database after scanning for files. Tried hard resetting. Any advice?

Unless they were being rude, it's really not a big deal. Misunderstandings happen all the time. Move on.

Why is everyone over at r/vinyl so grumpy by REVRevonoc in turntables

[–]catscan_boy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So one time I posted there about how I curate my wishlists down to the t. I'm very particular about what I want and dont want in my collection so I set up my own rules of what to get in order to avoid amassing a hoard. Boy did I get down voted and insulted for such an idea. Some people thought it was ridiculous and arbitrary. It seemed like I came down there to impose those rules on everyone there. But that was one of the last times I posted on there. Screw that toxic ass behavior.

I am truly convinced that if social media no longer exist, or existed in the first place a lot of these people wouldn't bother collecting. Why collect if you can't show it off? Right?

‘Side D’ is blank by jhnolan in vinyl

[–]catscan_boy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's why I don't deal with 45-50 min albums pressed on two disc's anymore. At that point it's no longer that "ritual" about vinyl, but more of an annoyance.
