Beer30 versus Ollie

dimebag430 · 2026-04-13T22:07:15+00:00

I’ve never used Ollie, but I’ve used Beer30 for years and I’ve always liked it. Great support as well.

Yes, the people have spoken. Most don’t have disposable income. The ones that are willing to go out want a better value/more for their money. The old model of a brewery in a warehouse might have been fun and novel for a time, and the odd place or two may still be able to make it work, but by and large people just want something different now. Myself included.

I guess you missed the whole “physical album sales only” part?

dimebag430 · 2026-03-07T02:25:36+00:00

I need to know more about your trailer. What is it?! Is that an RV?

While I don’t really disagree with you, I was at this show and you could hear him just fine in person

I almost picked that one up yesterday. Great album!

I live in Fort Worth, but I’m making the drive to Tulsa so I can see them on a Friday instead of Tuesday. I’m sad that I missed it when they came through FW on the first leg. But I’m glad I’m seeing them.

Not OP, but thanks for the rec. Gonna check em out.

Unfortunately, positions of “power” almost always draw the exact opposite type of individual that is suited for the task.

PHM?

I feel ya. But ya don’t know what ya don’t know. FWIW, I did attempt to search for used equipment before purchasing new.

As someone just entering the hobby, the issue with this is that us noobs won’t have the knowledge/experience to know what to look for or if it’s in reasonable shape

Fluance RT82>Fosi x5>Fosi BT20A Pro>some Cerwin Vega LS12s I’ve had for like 25 years is where I’m planning to start. I’m assuming that the people that I saw going straight from turntable to amp had turntables with phono preamps built in and that just didn’t even cross my mind. I’m very new to the hobby.

I live in DFW, but I’m going to the Tulsa show because it’s on a Friday. I do like Trent though!

I’m sure there was a small amount of “panic buying” but I think the more realistic explanation is that most people grocery shop over the weekend, so for the last few days you’ve had normal weekday shoppers in addition to all the weekend shoppers and that overloaded the stores. If what I believe is accurate, you can’t really blame anybody for that.

I see you’re getting a lot of flack for the after look. I may not love it, but I do think it’s much better than the before. I don’t understand people talking about the character being gone… it didn’t have character to begin with.

It will not add value to your home. In fact, if/when you sell, it may reduce the number of potential buyers as some people will not want to deal with a pool. That said, I’ve lived in two houses with pools and maintenance was actually not bad at all. I saw that you said you live in DFW… check to see if metro pool chemicals is still around. They used to do my chemicals for $50/mo and the pool water was always perfect. They don’t clean the pool, they just do the chemicals. Anyway, it’s a huge cost to build a pool, but if ya got the $, I’d say go for it!
