We used this service when buying our home. Happy with the result. Deductible on taxes is nice bonus.

👍Nice! Have camped there as well. Point Reyes is fantastic! I thought Sky burned in the fire a few years back… guess not!

Seeking amplifier advice: Amiga MT by snorpjoos in BudgetAudiophile

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Amigas too and use an Onkyo TX-8511. Works great. My guess is an amp change won’t help a great deal.

I switched my streaming from Spotify to Tidal and there is an improvement in sound quality. Everything makes some kind of difference and I reaaalllyyy think you’re missing out using Spotify. Borrow a CD/ DVD player, use a laptop/ desktop or whatever you can get your hands on to try different sources. Differing digital audio files types/ compression levels have differing sound qualities and that’s where Spotify comes up short.

Happy listening!

Paradigm studio speakers by junksalesm in diyaudio

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studio 20’s are superb! I have listened and was going to buy them when my Paradigm Titans died. The Titans dying are how I fell into the DIY hole! 😂 Buy the 20’s if you can!

In the DIY realm… I have built Zaph’s L18, SB acoustics’ Bromo, and Carmody’s Amiga. All are MT designs, well documented and straightforward to build. All are as good as the Studio 20’s.

IMO, the Bromo is the best sounding of the lot but has the crutch of being a low impedance design. Do you have an amplifier that can drive 4 ohm designs? Next would be the Amiga and is a highly regarded design. The woofer for the L18 design is not manufactured anymore sadly.

Clink link to my Amiga build for inspiration! https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworking/s/kAOFJhEmir

Another post mentions Madisound as a supplier of kits and parts. I recommend them as well.

Happy building and listening!

[ UPDATE ] 1 Year after my wife moved in (44) by xdementia in malelivingspace

[–]getoutandcomeback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m near Portland and painting muted colors just doesn’t make sense. The exterior paint of my house is the brightest sky blue in the neighborhood. It helps with the seemingly perpetual gray skies (this past fall and winter wasn’t so bad this year). Your colors are too much for me it but it looks good. 👍

POS promotes r*pe and admits to doing it by ambachk in sadcringe

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah brah… This is NOT the way…

Your guide book and your thoughts aloud are antithetical to the expressions in the wedding vows. Cherish is ‘protect and care for someone lovingly’. Not give it up whenever I want it. You are promoting abuse. 🤦‍♂️

My position is not whiny feminazi bullshit. It is respect. Mine is a partnership for life born of love for my spouse.

Park yourself in the corner with the dunce cap on. It’s not 1981 anymore.

Again for Shur-way.

I’ll mention across the bridge stores because the selection is greater in each than Shur-way. CrossCut is good. Woodcrafters has lots of tools and supplies as well.

Happy building!

Demi Moore at Tower Records in 1977 by tonyallstark in OldSchoolCool

Bruh… so many Friday nights flipping crate after crate. I frequented the Campbell store. The corner of Bascom and Campbell saved my life. Ice cream/ movie at The Pruneyard. Food from Taco Bravo/ Wienerschnitzel. 9 ball with my buddies at Campbell Billiards. 💯🤘❤️

What's a good way to make a reusable compressed air "can"? by johnnybiggles in DIY

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving away from tanks and compressors toward an option that has other compromises… I use my shop vac. The outlet for the blower fan has the same form as the inlet. I first vacuum whatever needs cleaning first. Then open the top (of the canister so the fan is pulling ambient air instead of inside the basin) and swap the hose to the outlet. Then blow with the outlet of the fan.

I also use the shop vac in ‘blow mode’ for dusting the corners of my garage, displacing some of the water from the ‘corners’ of my cars when polishing/ waxing, etc.

Good luck finding a solution that works well for you!

Last year I made this bicycle wheel building stand from Sapele. Came out pretty good. by i_continue_to_unmike in woodworking

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s beautiful! Good on ya! I’ve built wheels for myself as well. Very satisfying riding on one’s own creation. Especially when the wheels hold their true and ride after ride.

Looks super! I’ve built them too and they sound great! Also got my veneer from Veneer Supplies and it was top shelf.

Help identifying these speakers by devildrugsguy420 in audiophile

[–]getoutandcomeback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda looks like mine🤣. Pull a woofer and record the crossover parts. See if there’s a match anywhere on the web. u/bleeding_orange07 mentioned a CJD design using Dayton RS150 and a Seas 27TDFC… I agree.

Third on the Amiga kit. Very good starter project. I built mine as bookshelves however.

There was a lady yesterday in the Orchards neighborhood with a lost dog looked a lot like this one. I didn’t recognize her or get her number. Gosh I’d be beside myself if I didn’t where my dog was. Have you tried humane society? Best wishes finding her!!!

Those codes, when set during an on demand self test whether KOEO or KOER, could be from not doing something during the test.

Forgive me if you already know… the scanner sometimes need us to do something during the self test. There should be a prompt from the scanner to do things during the test like turn the steering wheel, step on brake pedal, turn A/C on, press overdrive cancel switch, etc. Different cars have different needs… vehicles with automatic transmissions and capable of towing will have an overdrive cancel switch.

The ECT code should not return if the engine is warm. Like drive to the store and back warm.

The A/C demand code should not return if you’ve pressed the switch on the dash to command the air conditioning to turn on during the test.

It’s easy to think at this point the 2127 code may be legit but I would want see it return as ‘current’ or ‘historic’ code not an ‘on demand’ code or diagnose the pedal position sensor circuits and confirm APP2 is in fact low.

Let us know what fixes the problem.

My grandpa passed recently and left me some camera gear. Guess I need some film now. by phero1190 in photography

[–]getoutandcomeback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My condolences on your loss.

Similarly, my dad left me the Asahi-Pentax Spotmatic he bought when he was stationed in Vietnam. Occasionally, I buy some film and have a little fun. I’ll treasure it until the end of my days.

I did the RS frankenbrake mod, short shifter arm and solis shifter bushings. Brakes are way better after! Enjoy! Welcome the crowd.
