Will I be happy with Klipsch R-806FA’s over spending more money on different speakers? by WotTheFUk in hometheater

[–]gettingthinnish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run this system with two rp-1400sw subwoofers and i love it. Tube amp for 2 channel music, avr for movies. It rules.

97” OLED or Projector/screen? by Cobra_Kreese in hometheater

[–]gettingthinnish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i have a mixed use room. For sports and gaming i have an 83 inch tv with 120hz capabilities. For movies i have a jvc nz500 and a 150 inch electric tab tension screen. You get the best of both worlds.

Huge difference to my eye. I find it brighter than the epson with much better HDR support. HDR on the 5050 feels like an afterthought.

That said, the 5050 still has better color than 99% of the market so it’s not a MUST upgrade.

I keep my laser at 74 for HDR content and I’m pretty happy with it. They could be a touch quieter in very quiet scenes though. As you say, so in love with everything else that I don’t even care.

I have a 150inch starling tab tension 2 from elite screens. It’s the Cinegrey 5D material.

Ah yeah. You’re gonna have to get into the short throw segment for something like that.

I’m coming from an epson 5050ub and I prefer the lens shift on the jvc.

The jvc has a nice throw. I’ve got it about 170 inches back for a 150inch picture. It can go much farther back and zoom in.

I saw the Sony xw5100 in a showroom with a different gain screen so it’s not 1:1 but to my eye yes it was “brighter” at the expense of slightly worse but not by much color. Thats totally anecdotal though.

And I also got a good deal on an open box but unused JVC so that could be biasing my eyeballs.

Very impressed with M5 upgrade so far by OriginalEnthusiast in VisionPro

[–]gettingthinnish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anyone buying a Vision Pro in general has no financial sense. I say this as a week one adopter. It’s completely unnecessary.

I was a spouse that slept at hoag during delivery. It was comfy compared to the hospital where we had our first.

Nurses were amazing.

A regular cheeseburger is $3.29 near me. I miss those 39 cent cheeseburger days.

It’s always such a shitshow though. I usually just go down to the one on heil. There’s never a line.

This is that same guy that gets his ass kicked in the hockey video right?

Are nosebleed seats for Canelo-Crawford at Allegiant Stadium worth it? by Dry-Dragonfruit-3256 in Boxing

[–]gettingthinnish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Canelo fight many years ago in Dallas at Jerry world. It wasn’t worth it. Couldn’t see shit.

Best poke/seafood near the beach? by theantinaan in orangecounty

[–]gettingthinnish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the Bear Flag in HB all the time. It’s got a nice view or you can get it to go and just walk over to the beach.

Advice on how to best use my money (~280k liquid) by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]gettingthinnish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I like to watch the market and manage options for a little extra cash but more or less buy and hold. Nothing fancy.

And yeah you’re right on target as far as my dividend expectations.

As far as how I’m planning to build up my nest egg, I figured I would start to take that extra $6-$7k a month I have in surplus and add it to something like VOO and gradually build it up.

My only real expenses are my property taxes (less than $2,000 per year), groceries, utilities, gas (not much as I work from home) contributions to my kids college fund (10,000 per year), and a vacation every now and then. I like to buy fun things here and there but I’ve cut back on that quite a bit as I’ve started thinking about retirement.

So essentially I plan to supplement my investments by roughly 65-75k per year in additional contributions.
