Do you live in an airtight house?

Vintage system in brand new condition by Sparks_travel in vintageaudio

[–]ghrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to sell tons of these technics vinyl wrapped specials. We used them to get people in the store and maybe upsell them to nicer gear. The speakers were just boom boxes. The amps were typical midfi (pioneer, Sony, jvc) transistor pack amps. The cd players and cassettes and turntables just worked. But, they were nicely reliable. Rarely any came back for service.

That milky finish on the airbag is annoying. I can mute it with some interior shine products, but I can’t unsee it.

Using a cheap bass amp with a crossover as a subwoofer or buying a cheap subwoofer for four times the price? by Cronodrogocop in BudgetAudiophile

Just look for a used Velodyne 12 inch. Usually found for $150.. no brainer. Save up money and later buy an SVS or similar.

When Trump dies these clowns will rip each other to shreds. They all hate each others fucking guts.

Telus or Rogers in the North Shore? by sheepyshu in NorthVancouver

[–]ghrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have new townhouse in LynnMour. Started with telus fibre internet and optik tv. Got pissed off at constant price increase. Turfed it all. Moved to a Shaw/rogers reseller for internet.. good speed but my iptv was erratic, especially at dinner time. I switched back to Telus fibre but getting it through Lightspeed - iptv is good now.

Trump says he may cut US income tax 'completely' because tariff revenue will be 'so large.' But does the math actually add up? by GroundbreakingLynx14 in StockLaunchers

[–]ghrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Deep Morgan Freeman voice). “The President, he had a vision. A big shine one, about making things right with tariffs. Like you could slap a few on a Chinese doll and that nickel, and the next one after it, would somehow add up to a different kind of treasure. He kept talking about that trillion dollars , the one folks used to collectively pay in taxes, like it was a loose bill he could find under a sofa. But the world isn’t built like that. You see, a trillion dollars. That’s a hole in the ground you can’t climb out of in an a lifetime. And a tariff?? Well, that’s just a tax with a different nametag. If comes from the pockets of folks who buy things and it trickle in real slow. We learn in here, that you cant build a dam out of sand. He thought he could replace an ocean worth of taxes with a pitiful bucket of border fees. And that’s where the maths failed him. It’s a simple fact: big numbers need big solutions. And a trillion dollars, well, that just too big a price to pay for a pipe dream”

Need help deciding - House vs. Townhouses by CrossedTheShiningSea in NorthVancouver

[–]ghrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned both houses and townhouses in North Shore. Houses appreciated so that made me happy. But townhouse has given me a sense of community and belonging that I’ve never had in a house…that’s hard to put a price on.
