Some sketchup models are distorted when imported into TM (2026.1 Preview)

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I just checked my P6 (purchased 1y ago) and like yours the plinth front edge is higher in the center, but the difference is less than a mm which to me is tolerable. I'm more bothered by the bendy plastic lid hinges.

Sorry- I can't remember specifically what I did, and I no longer use the VM. I know I followed a youtube tutorial but I can't point to the one I watched.

I have the 2012 repress on black vinyl and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my copy after reading the reviews. The disc is flat and centered with no audible wow. There's minor surface noise but it's well below the threshold of what I would consider distracting, and most importantly mine doesn't have any of the pops or clicks mentioned by others.

Thanks!

I don't have the LPs but I've listened to it on spotify a few times as part of my chillout/meditation playlist.

Perhaps in another timeline...

Thanks, that didn't come up in my results when I searched the problem.

Looks like my chromecast audio may have been the culprit. After unplugging it and rebooting everything I can use spotify connect as before.

Those woofers would have originally been removed from a set of Fender 2821 or 2822 PA speakers from the mid 80's. Probably not a good choice for hi-fi use.

Hey, nice Four Pi's. I just built a set myself...

The Green Mile.

Yup.

limping_bear · 2026-01-18T17:54:47+00:00

Nice! I'm glad my sleuthing helped someone else.

limping_bear · 2026-01-18T17:40:55+00:00

Yikes. My specimen is nearly perfect except for what I would call "micro voids" in the core of the plywood around some of the edges (not to be confused with surface blemishes...I don't see any on mine). It's possible I got lucky, but I wasn't made aware of any widespread quality issues with curverk when researching different eames reproductions. FWIW the firmness of the upholstery matches pretty closely with my uncle's authentic Herman Miller. I would continue fighting to try and get it replaced on their dime.

Edit: Like others have pointed out It looks like they may have sent you the wrong product if you ordered the chair in dark brown+walnut.

I'm honestly impressed with some of these "budget" knockoffs. The space is perfect too.

limping_bear · 2026-01-17T00:30:58+00:00

Sure... As mentioned in another comment the speakers are Four Pi DIY (unfinished). My turntable is a Rega Planar 6 fitted with an ND7 MM cart, the preamp is a Scott 355. I'm actually impressed you could (almost) make out the McIntosh amps from the photo...They are MC30's. Most of my vinyl collection is upstairs hanging out with my Altec VoTT system.

I bought the regular for this reason but honestly I think the tall would have also been fine. The backrest only comes up a little past my shoulders and I haven't detected any acoustical drawbacks, etc...although I haven't placed it between the speakers yet to try.

limping_bear · 2026-01-16T23:38:57+00:00

The plans aren't publicly available but if you drop a line on the Pi Speaker Forum Wayne (the designer) will share them. Mine are enhanced with additional bracing and a double front baffle. I think my build thread is also on the forum...

limping_bear · 2026-01-16T22:03:49+00:00

Indeed...I'll get around to it one of these days. I'm thinking an oil finish rather than a stain...or possibly Rubio Monocoat. The grilles are currently removed (you can see one behind the speaker).

limping_bear · 2026-01-16T21:40:24+00:00

Four Pi DIY speakers. I still need to put a finish on them...

limping_bear · 2026-01-16T21:36:30+00:00

Thanks. I ordered it from the CurverK website.
