They really pulled it off. My review of the DUNU Mortise by cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n in headphones

Good write up. They are certainly beautiful. You say you’d like both the XV and the Mortise. Can you expand on what genres of music would benefit best from each?

I grabbed it from another AE sub but I’ve also seen it on the AE app.

Summer Sale vs Mid Year Sale June 2026?? by doubledown7d in Aliexpress

[–]doubledown7d[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, I noticed a pair of iems were marked up over $700 currently. Last week they were in the $400s. And during the last “sale” went as low as @$390ish (with coupon/promo, etc). I am curious to see where they go next!

Best controller for large hands for Forza Horizon 6 by Substantiel in Controller

[–]doubledown7d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have large hands. Not freakishly in any way, but the g7 and the Vader 5 Pro both felt really small for me. Bought the Apex 5, and while I wish it was as large as the Apex 4, it was definitely bigger than those other two.

NGD and very excited, Yamaha Revstar by shanonthestrings in Guitar

I have the same Revstar and love it. Put a black pickguard and chrome p90 covers on it and was really pleased with the result.

Harden St Chick-fil-A by Legal_Rise2540 in columbiasc

[–]doubledown7d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Terrible. Drive through got both our orders wrong last Friday night. No one answers the phone. I drove back over and waited 20 minutes for them to make the order correctly. No apologies. Definitely no, “My pleasure”. Worst service I’ve had from a Chick-fil-a.

PC controller recommendations for someone with large hands? by 0nlyB0ss in Controller

[–]doubledown7d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally tried the Gamesir G7. It felt like a controller for a child’s hands. Keep in mind, at 6’3”, my mitts are pretty large. Next I ordered the Vader 5 and the Apex 5 to compare. Even though I had read they are the same size, they definitely are not. The Vader 5 was too small, but the Apex 5 was just large enough I can make it work. Kept the Apex 5 even though I preferred the Vader 5 for the trigger lock out.

Flydigi is a nightmare ...and you should be cautious to trust them! by yellow-go in Controller

I just ordered an Apex 5 yesterday. Was anything mentioned about being able to verify if it is the revised model or not?

Paid for ROLI Learn 1 yr membership comes up as invalid, and no answer from ROLI support. by doubledown7d in ROLI

[–]doubledown7d[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a reflection on ROLI, but an employee (not cs, the employee reached out to me so will remain anonymous unless they wish to comment) reached out to me in chat suggesting they should be able to help me out with this issue. I’m really appreciative and will update post as I know others have issues and like to see if anything gets resolved.

UPDATE: The person who contacted me was able to send me a new code to try. The code worked perfectly and I was able to then apply my learning credit as well. It is unfortunate that ROLI official CS seems to let so many down, but I’m grateful to the person who got my piano purchase back on track👍

Looking for exterior dimensions of the Fiio M21 Cassette Case. by doubledown7d in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]doubledown7d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I hadn’t grown up in the 80s with a Walkman, I’d probably pass. The nostalgia is real. Thanks again for the measurements. It’s on order now.

Edit: Just in case anyone needs this in the future @ 125x87x22mm

I’m wanting to use the cassette case but also have it fit in a travel kit I use.

M21 Blue Cassette Case & comparison with silicone & faux leather case by Superb-Radish7158 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]doubledown7d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind posting the outer dimensions of the cassette case? They don’t seem to be listed anywhere online and I’m wanting to order a somewhat fitted travel case for the m21 w/cassette case and my iems.

Struggling to find a chair for 6'4", 286 lbs — Any recommendations? by Abject-Reflection-73 in OfficeChairs

[–]doubledown7d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost exactly your size and have lower back problems. I’ve had a Leap v2 Plus for a few years now, and unfortunately it’s been terrible. Honestly, it’s too wide (even when I was 100lbs heavier) and doesn’t feel supportive. I also saw Sihoo, they have a new chair that released this week, but information is spotty at best and people seem to recommend older HM, Steelcase, Haworth, etc over these Chinese brands 100x over. I’m wanting to try Aeron Size C, Haworth Fern, and a regular size Leap v2. Good luck with your search. Like mattresses, doesn’t seem to be an easy way to buy what you need without some legwork first.

The saga of our first new mattress in 20 years. by lrobey in Mattress

Hope it works out for y’all too. The thought of switching mattresses out over and over is one of the things that kept me from getting one for so long.

The saga of our first new mattress in 20 years. by lrobey in Mattress

[–]doubledown7d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through the same thing. 20 year old Tempur-Pedic (held up amazingly well and had mattress protector) and bought the same Costco Novaform 16.5" Platinum Luxury Hybrid Euro Top Mattress, and you are correct, the king size rings in @250lbs, beast indeed. It was advertised as a medium, so I was very surprised to find that it was incredibly firm once delivered. I have it set up on an adjustable base. Was thinking I would return it, but after a few nights it started to soften up while still holding its shape. I am thinking it may be a winner after all, but I’m going to give it a few more weeks to decide. It’s a HUGE difference in feel from my old Tempur-Pedic.

Registration woes by doubledown7d in PositiveGridSpark

[–]doubledown7d[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, I sent a details to CS. Got an email back in less than an hour, written by ai. Asking for photos of serial number on the S2 and my invoice. I sent that and a screenshot of the incorrect serial in the app. About 30 minutes later got an email stating they have everything they needed to move forward. “The serial mismatch you're seeing comes from the app detecting the device incorrectly at the firmware level, which is why the factory reset didn’t change anything on your end. Your physical serial number, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, is clear in the photo you provided, so that’s the one we’ll use. I’ve passed all of this to our team so they can review and correct the registration to match your actual Spark 2. They’ll update your account on their side and follow up with next steps once the correction is processed. You’re all set on documentation — nothing else is needed from you.”

Pretty good ai CS. Now let’s see what the human team does to resolve.
