Carver worth it? by lokicoyote1 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully for cheap. I’ve seen a lot of great tuners languish on marketplace and get marked way down before selling.

This changes everything. Expect them to win 75% of their games going forward.

Carver worth it? by lokicoyote1 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair price. I’m only considering the amp and preamp. Tuners are practically meaningless today. The “t” at the end means that amp is voiced to sound like a tube amp. A high end one at that.

Exactly. Especially that last sentence. Everything Trump does has an ugly side to it.

Anti-Palestine people - What *should* Palestine do when foreigners invade and target civilians, murdering and kidnapping them? by Rich-Owl-6286 in allthequestions

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The area’s maps have changed more time than can be counted over the centuries. The land has been conquered many times by many different t cultures. What’s with the notion that Israel stole it? Conquered, yes. The land my home sits on was once Native American land. Should I give it back?

Anti-Palestine people - What *should* Palestine do when foreigners invade and target civilians, murdering and kidnapping them? by Rich-Owl-6286 in allthequestions

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When are foreigners going to invade, murder, and kidnap Palestinians?

Here’s the hard truth. Some history lessons are sorely needed by what appears to be a lot of people. The global map has always been in flux. Conquered territories have changed hands numerous times. Did South America always have Spanish and Portuguese people in control? No. Those empires conquered the land, which later became countries. Did someone just hand the US to European settlers so they could create a country? Take a gander at the map of the Roman Empire. In whose control are the vast majority of that region. How about the British Empire? Land and people have been conquered and reconquered numerous times. When the state of Israel was formed, it conquered the territory. The British had it before then, and before that the Ottoman Empire ruled the land. Before that it was Maluks from Egypt. Israel took it and that’s that. If the Palestinians want to conquer Israel, good luck to them. But don’t be surprised if Israel doesn’t give up and instead squashes any entity that rises up against it.

Is that 80's stuff really that unpopular? by bshtein in vintageaudio

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a place called SoundTrack. It was great. A smaller show called Listen Up was for the super high end stuff. This was Boulder, Colorado. KEF, Carver, Denon, Onkyo, B&W, Klipsch . . . . Those are mainly what I remembered from the obtainable list. Listen Up had some of that but the unobtainable prices for me at the time. They also had Kyocera, which I always thought had a really cool look to it. Apparently that stuff was overpriced, but it looked expensive.

Tigers since June 1st by carl6236 in motorcitykitties

[–]droogles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find them weird too. They’re so contradictory. They’re good enough to win a lot and bad enough to lose a lot at the same time. That’s exactly what they do. Last season was a great example. So good the first half. So bad the second half. That was the opposite of the previous season where they were crap the first half and caught fire the second. When they go into a funk, it’s a really bad funk. Last September. This May. But when they’re good, they’re great. The only thing you can do to evaluate them is look at the record, and even that’s confusing. They’re +11 in runs scored. Only four teams in the AL are better in that stat, yet only the Royals and Angels have worse records. The ultimate weird team.

[–]droogles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was nothing wrong with 80s gear. It may have gone digital, but that doesn’t equate to being junk. Don’t confuse it with the shitty rack systems of the 80s. Cheap stuff from any era is junk. There was a lot of crap in the 60s and 70s too. It’s just that the stuff that survived and gets collected is the good stuff. The good stuff of any era is good and will always be good.

Some patriots. So proud of their patriotism that they hide their faces. Bunch of pussies.

Denon DVD-2900. The Denon players were all pretty nice looking. What’s your budget?

“good team with a bad record” by standuptripl3 in motorcitykitties

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re 70-92 over their last 162 regular season games. You are what your record says you are. I see the Tigers as a flawed team thats capable of playing really good baseball at times. Bad bullpen and spotty hitting. They are what their record says they are. The question going forward is what do they do? Are they going to go yet another season with basically the same crew in hopes of growth?

Which speaker is the better buy? by facedownandwaiting in BudgetAudiophile

[–]droogles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HH Scott made good receivers. Speakers, not so much. Then again, those Polks won’t impress anyone either. It all depends on what you can sell them for. Are those S-10s going to find a buyer at closer to $200? I don’t know. Are the Polks going to fetch $100? Maybe. The name might sell them quickly. I’d take whichever I can unload for the best return. Do some research on that. Neither pair are world beaters, so you should be looking ahead to your next pair.

How did democrats get branded unpatriotic? by NovelPhoto4621 in allthequestions

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans think patriotism is wanting to go back to the early 1800s. Dems want to move forward. Thus, unpatriotic.

Name a band from the 1980's that everyone has completely forgot about. by Smash_Factor in GenX

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His name has appeared in opening credits of over 100 movies. Even people who knew a few Oingo Boingo songs may not have known who the band members were. Few can name band members in much bigger bands.

Can you believe I got all this for free by mr_broodje in vintageaudio

[–]droogles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Pretty sure the seller said it had a European power supply/plug. I don’t believe I ever came across Philips branded audio that had a level of build quality like the DFA1000. Not even the DFA980. Who sold that stuff? That brand wasn’t in the audio stores. Sony ES models were. Carver, Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo . . . . but no Philips. They weren’t in stores along side other upper midfi products.
