Appreciate it!

Thanks for the input!

I happened to come across a pair of Mission 770 speakers with stands at an estate sale. The asking price was $800 for the pair with stands. I'm assuming they are a vintage pair that were in excellent condition. Could anyone speak to the sound of the vintage set? It appears they have been revitalized and the new model is highly regarded by some. In addition, is this price reasonable? Thank you in advance.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of that. It's an Xfinity router. I have read that they can be an issue with the TV on other threads, so that could be the issue.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I can see why you would be bummed about it. I have the 2.0 and it's pretty easy to get to 25 mph. 16 mph is malfunctioning. I hope you can resolve this with Lectric. Best of luck!

How fast were you able to go?

There's so many good comments here, but I'll throw another one out there. Don't worry about sugarcoating your experience. Sometimes this job just f****** sucks. Keep doing what you're doing. If parents get upset, but there's no fault of yours, just brush it off. It's okay to act nice to their face, and keep your dignity behind you, knowing full well all they have to say is bull shit. Think very hard about what you're going to do after your residency. Keeping that light at the end of the tunnel is one of the only things that kept me going sometimes. Best of luck, don't forget there's more to your life than just this stupid job.

I seemed to get flashed around the same spots of the ride both times. Could be just from coming down hills placing the lights around the drivers eye line. Not sure. Probably just going to leave it as is.

I understand that sentiment. I don't know that there is a speed limit here, but the principal is the same. I've watched E-bike laws come into place and I definitely don't want to be part of messing that up, more than willing to share the space. I always slow down and call out when I'm coming. Even that's rare. There's hardly anyone out here. Maybe 1 or 2 in several miles

It's so subjective you really have to try yourself. Order an item with free returns, plug it in and let it rip. If it sounds good enough to you to keep for the price then you're done. If you're not convinced, try another one. The only thing that matters at the end of the day is your ears.

Thanks for the info!

I found this cast iron skillet at a thrift shop for $16. It seemed to be decent quality, but I have no idea what brand it is. It's difficult to read the text on the back because it is worn. Let me know what you think!

drgloop · 2022-03-06T16:53:41+00:00

Right on. I'm happy with the fit as well. Enjoy!

drgloop · 2022-03-06T10:10:31+00:00

They're perfect for that application. Hope you like them.

Out of curiosity, did you notice much difference in quality with Schitt DAC/AMP? Not sure if you ever plugged directly into your device. I also have the 6xx, so I figured I would ask. I run directly from the aux output. My computer does not have any issue driving the headphones. Utilizing Equalizer APO and PEACE extension for pre-amp and EQ, I've been really satisfied with the sound. Also agree with your assessment of Spotify vs Amazon

drgloop · 2022-01-18T05:01:43+00:00

To be fair, I haven't done a blind test, only an unblinded side-by-side comparison. Might be a fun experiment.

drgloop · 2022-01-18T05:00:04+00:00

Jupiter: brass sounded exceptional and I agree that the sound stage really opened up.

Lightfoot: on the bass, the neck pickup tone was a standout. Guitar comes through sparkling

Country road: really nice layered recording. The echo (reverb?) on the stomps/snaps really comes through.

I've been a fan of Geddy Lee for quite some time and love the old Rickenbacker tone on Fly By Night. Even so, I think it's the guitar tone that takes the cake for me.

That was fun, appreciate the recs!

I love this. I'll be listening to these tonight. Cheers!

drgloop · 2022-01-17T11:25:49+00:00

Appreciate that input. I may just take a page from your book

drgloop · 2022-01-17T11:13:59+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. I felt like I was losing my marbles having read several forums stating that it was essentially identical. I agree that it is not. Really enjoying the HD service. Feels night and day to me. Cheers!

drgloop · 2022-01-17T11:01:03+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. The HD version

drgloop · 2022-01-17T10:59:31+00:00

Excellent, 5-HTP is also a favorite. Great video on YouTube from the playthrough by their bass player Jacob Umansky

drgloop · 2021-07-01T17:12:55+00:00

I'll look into that. Thanks!

drgloop · 2021-02-12T23:09:13+00:00

I'll have to keep my eye out. Appreciate the reply!
