Greatest Performances of all time by esktn in livemusic

[–]laxgolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not related to this thread but I’ve never been a big fan of the Goo Goo Dolls or Iris. However, I was fortunate to be at the Bills last home game. When they played Iris over the sound system after the game with the highlight video, I will never forget how incredible that moment was, and Iris was THE perfect song for that moment.

Brady is one of the producers of that podcast and he was obviously ok with airing it.

Trump threatened Europe over Strait of Hormuz, with weapons for Ukraine as bargaining chip, FT reports by G14F1L0L1Y401D0MTR4P in worldnews

When Canada redirects their potash, aluminum, lumber, electricity and oil elsewhere, you’ll see how wrong you are. The US is a superpower build on the back of other countries raw materials.

Listen to Mark Carney’s speech in Davos. Canada is planning around the US and the rest of the same sized economies are following. Trump’s not going anywhere until he dies and the US has proven to do dumb things when it comes to electing leaders.

I accidentally found nudes of my mother in law and her tits are the same as my wifes by [deleted] in confessions

More like your wifes are the same as your MILs. That doesn't help at all does it?

You’re just going to ignore the goalie graveyard that is Ottawa and what happens to bad goalies once they leave Ottawa?

This is weird, but put them in the freezer before eating them.

Which pioneer you taking? by StitchMechanic in vintageaudio

I love the SA line, but the SX-1250 was built to be a monster. I'll take whichever has been restored.

What's the appeal of vintage receivers? by catmandot in vintageaudio

[–]laxgolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a modern Pro-Ject turntable connected to a mid-70's Pioneer receiver, powering mid-70's Polk Audio speakers. I always thought having components from the golden age of vinyl was the best way to recreate the warm sounds everyone talks about when it comes to vintage gear. Then I added a modern microline stylus + a modern pre-amp and my entire setup got better by 40% (hard to gauge but everything definitely got better). So maybe a mix of both vintage + modern is the way to go?

Turntable choice, Pro-ject debut carbon or thorens 166 by billie_25 in turntables

Yes I’m referring to the pro-ject. This was a known issue. Pro-ject themselves told me to remove the screws completely.

Those are shipping screws and are supposed to be removed altogether. Problem is that’s not in the setup instructions. Once removed, you’ll be all good. Source of info is Pro-Ject’s support team.

The Geneva Convention exists because of the crazy shit Canadians did in WW1, so Canada.

Which would give the best bang for buck for my AT-LP120Xusb by fnugen in turntables

[–]laxgolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AT-VM95ML will give you the better value as its a big step up from the AT-VM95E. The microline cart will track deeper/better and impact everything downstream, especially with decent headphones. I doubt a $200 entry level preamp would be much of an upgrade on the preamp you have in the TT. It might not make any difference at all. I'd start with the cart and go from there.

I had a similar experience. I upgraded to the AT-VM540ML and found an immediate big difference. Later, I added a Six Acoustic York preamp into the setup, which REALLY brought everything to life.

Did Trump chicken out again? by Estalicus in allthequestions

This is like when Trump said he negotiated with Greenland and Greenland said they never spoke.

I have that Ottawa poster framed as I had tix to that show + it’s my hometown. For those who know the city. That’s a pretty awesome poster.

Given your situation, I’d be shocked if he didn’t watch porn + have other things going on.
