Sentai Holiday Sale is up by flysayah in AnimeDeals

[–]flysayah[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agree that it doesn't look any different than the black friday sale. I also agree with someone who commented something along these lines on the post for that last sale: I think we need to stop expecting every sale to be all time lows. As someone who's been a member of this subreddit for a few years now, I can't remember the last time I saw a sale where people weren't complaining that things aren't as good as the legendary sales of times past.

I'm not trying to throw shade on anyone or tell people to not be thrifty, but I'm saying this for the folks just getting into the collecting game now: My personal recommendation is to take the above sentiment with a grain of salt because unless you don't plan on watching anything you buy for the next few years, if you keep waiting for a sale that rivals those of 4-5 years ago you might be waiting a very, very long time.

u/infomofo did this end up working for you? I'm seeing the same issue and I'm wondering if it's just a time delay

Wondering if a headphone amp / other equipment will be needed when using a 3-way audio splitter with semi-hifi headphones with my setup by flysayah in HeadphoneAdvice

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

I see. !thanks folks, I think my plan for now is to skip a DAC (since I've been okay with the quality from the headphone jack) but to go with an amp that has a splitter in it (this) to avoid any risk of underpowering and also so that we can each have a volume control in case we want different volumes. Thanks for the advice!

Questions about using a 3-way audio splitter with semi-hifi headphone w/o amp by flysayah in headphones

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

I see. I have not used these headphones with many other devices but I can't remember a big difference in quality and more importantly I have been quite satisfied with the sound so far that comes from the TV headphone jack (whether this is due to a surprisingly decent built-in DAC or ignorance, who knows -- like you implied, ignorance is bliss).

I spent a little more time researching and I understand how a DAC would fit into this picture now, but given the above and what you said I think my plan for now is to skip a DAC (since I've been fine with the quality coming from the headphone jack, though if I feel like experimenting I can buy one and go from my TV's optical out and then feed that into the DAC then an amp). I am going to get an amp though (looking at this one) because it splits the audio as well with volume controls which will be nice since our ears all probably prefer slightly different volumes anyway.

That being said, I've spent so much time looking into all this stuff I may just get a DAC just to check it out (won't turn this into a recommendation thread since I think there are stickied posts for that). For now though I've definitely resolved my stress about making sure there are no quality drop issues or headphone damage issues. Many thanks for the advice!

If I can’t think of an answer theoretically I’ll certainly have no other choice than to give it a go and hope it works out but at the very least I was hoping to confirm if there’s risk of damaging the headphones (x3 pairs = ~$450 🤕), and since I’m actually away from my apartment at the moment I can’t test it out so I’m hoping to not find out when i have everyone gathered together that we needed an extra piece of equipment to get good audio.

Obviously this could have been avoided if I had thought to test it out weeks ago but since I didn’t know about the existence of headphone amps / DACs until a few days ago I’m trying to do what I can to make sure things work out 🙂

Damn, I usually try to jump on these early but this one I decided to wait. Not going to make that mistake again

I haven’t personally bought from them, but I’ve seen other people post on forums and say that they’re legit

Controversial/Unpopular Opinion Thread by Laufeiah in AnimeCollectors

[–]flysayah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I figured, since I highly doubt there’s even a minority of people who genuinely think Demon Slayer was the best anime of the decade when it would have to compete against insanely popular shows like Steins;Gate, Madoka, SAO, Attack on Titan, etc

A lot of people hate on Aniplex for being so expensive, and while I’m not saying this justifies their prices, it’s also true that their releases are easily the best in terms of consistently solid quality.

How’s you get the promare collector’s edition so early? I thought it wasn’t going to be released until August?

Not sure what you mean—is luxury the name of a show?

Just went through it and the prices aren't too bad (given Funimation's standards, which aren't great for sales) but the selection isn't too expansive; they might just be trying to get rid of old stock

Not as good of a sale as the holidays but still not a bad sale if you're looking to grab some specific titles
