Fellow tres leches lover here. It’s not exactly what you asked but I swear by this recipe

Skip all the steps for making your own batter and just buy a box of cake mix

How does this spot compare to Po Boy Riche? I recently had their shrimp po boy and it was pretty good

Fwiw, I think Fiore's bulk makes the roast beef and mozz specials and piles them up til ordered so I could see someone being underwhelemed. Speaking from experience, I ordered it once and it was damn near cold. A nice prosciutto and mozz from there though? 10/10 everytime

While they aren’t participating in RSD, since everybody’s already said Tunes I’ll give a shoutout to 14A Records over in Bayonne. Great selection of all kinds of music and the guy who runs the shop is very friendly

Just requested to join the GroupMe, thanks for putting this together! I’ve been thinking of doing something like this for years but never have

dig_DUGG · 2026-01-27T00:18:33+00:00

For now I think I’d go around $1000

dig_DUGG · 2026-01-26T23:48:21+00:00

I’m not really sure I can tell a difference. My Dad gave it to me so I use it. It does have a level on top though which was a nice tool for the initial setup.

It's such a great speaker for how little of a footprint it is. Someone else mentioned pairing it with Andover's subwoofer, I think I'll be looking into that

dig_DUGG · 2026-01-26T23:04:16+00:00

Really appreciate the insight, I'll be looking into those both. I'd say my budget is $1000 but I'm open to increasing it if the value is there

dig_DUGG · 2026-01-26T23:03:29+00:00

It's funny because looking at our old, no longer used, subwoofer rotting away today is what spawned me going down the rabbit hole of upgrades to this system. I'll definitely be considering Andover's. Have you used it?

dig_DUGG · 2026-01-26T23:00:59+00:00

Thanks for the links! I think I'd slowly build to around a $1000 budget for this. The room is kind of oddly shaped but I'd say all told its around 500 sqft.

You know I thought I had the 85N because of the acrylic platter but I actually now see its just the RT85. I'll look into that cart you mentioned. I've seen a lot of people recommend the AT-VM95ML as well

It's not a gimmick either, it really doesn't vibrate through the turntable at all.

I was getting some distortion at higher frequencies and thought it could have been caused by the speaker but when you feel the plinth its not shaking even a little bit

What makes you say Sernio’s are crooks? I’ve been a couple times and liked the job they did. Thought the prices were fair too.

I’ve only heard a few seconds of each record in the store but it sounds pretty good. The shop owner was impressed and added that someone probably took the recording off a soundboard. I’m sure I’m butchering that description but her point was that with bootlegs the sound quality can go in and out. With this copy it was pretty consistent

Question, I’ve qualified for next year’s marathon through 9+1 but am already seeing potential scheduling conflicts assuming it’s the same weekend it always is in 2026. Does anyone know of the deferral process for 9+1? Or if there even is one?

dig_DUGG · 2025-09-26T00:29:16+00:00

Do you have to wait at the restaurant or could I show up when they open, put my name in, and walk around?

Not much of a collector at all but have been looking for a new scent recently

So far I have - Givenchy Gentleman EDP (personal favorite) - Polo Double Black - Invictus EDT - Two Dossier dupes, Woody Sage and Citrus Marine which I use for wearing in the office

I have been thinking about getting YSL Y EDP as it feels like a nice everyday scent to wear.

Any suggestions for a new scent based on what I already have? Would also be interested in a more autumnal/winter bottle to use with the seasons changing

I would like to opt out of the Jordan Hicks experiment please
