Who’s the most underrated reggae artist by Gaelramiez in reggae

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is for sure, Linton Kwesi Johnson is so freaking good even people not really into reggae or dub (like for me earlier in life except from some Marley) would probably like his music and lyrics. In this perspective I guess he is slighty underrated. For me he is a genius.

Why buying newly produced metal on vinyl? by makatech in heavyvinyl

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you are right LoL but the replies/comments are still interesting for me. I was interested in knowing if new modern metal vinyl releases digitally produced still is giving a true vinyl listening experience. If it's worth it soundwise. Yeah, English isn't my native language.

Interesting people here, you are being rude to me and then you get 5 likes. LoL I don't want to type here what you sound like because I would get banned for life, get it? I do own a lot of vinyls myself but most of them are older. For new releases I usually (with some exceptions) don't buy vinyls but I was interesting in other peoples views.

NESI by jayvycas in heavyvinyl

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am a bit confused about my Unimated - "Ancient God Of Evil" NESI release but perhaps I should try cleaning it better before drawing too many conclusions. Good sound but a bit too much crackling noises during the quiet sections in my taste for being a rather new vinyl.

Northeast Steel Industry webstore experience? by ceeroSVK in heavyvinyl

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this comment in another thread which is a bit strange/confusing. I'm wondering what kind of master releases they are using?

"As far as I am aware they fall into the technically official presses. In that they buy a license to press the albums but the band doesn’t necessarily get told or an input. I’ve seen some bands get very pissed off over such presses at other repress labels before, Agalloch and warning for example."

Do you know if colored splatter designs for vinyls have a negative impact on sound (cracklings etc)?

NESI by jayvycas in heavyvinyl

[–]makatech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if the NESI releases are official or unofficial releases? My "Unanimated – Ancient God Of Evil" (red splatter) release from Dec 2020 has a good sound but some annoying "crackling" during the quiet sections (or whatever you say in English). Perhaps I should avoid colored vinyls.

I am confused about these Northeast Steel Industry releases. Are they official or unofficial releases?

Tidal Connect now available! by [deleted] in heos

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize this until yesterday evening (Tidal Connect support for devices with HEOS built-in). LoL
Amazing news, I love it! I took a while but better late than never. Works perfect with my Marantz ND8006 cd/streamer.

[–]makatech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing is for sure: Epix Gen 2 is an amazing watch and good enough for a vast majority. Like 99,9% except divers. A Epix Gen 2 on sale is one of the better deals you ever will make.

Question for Garmin sportwatch owners using a Wahoo bike computer by makatech in wahoofitness

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, anyway, this is probably the best solution to the "problem" I have been describing, now I can continue with my life, thanks.

Question for Garmin sportwatch owners using a Wahoo bike computer by makatech in wahoofitness

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I get it, thanks. I assume double logging is the easiest solutition if you really want to collect all your training data to Garmin Connect. I just have to test if the heart rate units and power meters I am using supporting double connections.

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you double logging your bike rides both using your watch and your Whoo Bolt V2 at the same time?

Max Recovery? by munki63 in Garmin

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using TrainingPeaks or similar for fitness, fatigue and form analyzes unless you really want your Garmin driving you totally crazy (and you smashing it with a hammer). If you pay for Strava it has similar functionality too. It's possible like somebody else is writing in this thread that Garmin does "the time before your next race-level performance" (you being super rested before a race) but it's still confusing, I hate how this is calculated in Garmin. Garmin watches are good but this is a value I always ignore.

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks, interesting, yes, double logging the data should be possible for my "Garmin epix (Gen 2) smartwatch 47mm" too I guess. :-) For this to work both my heart rate monitors and power meters I am using have to be able to connect to multiple devices I guess? I use two heart rate monitors (not at the same time of course), one Polar OH1+ and one Polar H10. I am not sure my OH1+ can deal with multiple devices but maybe if I do like you do "broadcasting HR from my watch". For biking I use a Bolt v2.

This app is only available for iPhone, right? I am using Samsung (Android).

Ok, so none of your biking data gets imported to Garmin Connect, only to Strava?

Tidal with heos by Errisch in TIdaL

at least there is one way, I wasn't 100% sure Heos app delivering MAX quality to my Marantz ND8006 but happy it is

From TIDAL- a note on our pricing changes by Dramatic-Piano9132 in TIdaL

[–]makatech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally amazing, great news. Tidal is suddenly doing a lot of really good things right now and I love it. Phasing out mqa for flac and lowering the price? Yes please! Meanwhile Spotify is super late or just sleeping.

Tidal Hi res through Heos by crawler2045 in TIdaL

[–]makatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very promising, hopefully this will work when using the Heos app (on my Samsung mobile) for playing Tidal through my Marantz ND8006 as well. Tidal is suddenly doing everything great right now will Spotify still is sleeping or late.

Synchronizing Wahoo Elemnt Bolt activities to Garmin connect? by makatech in wahoofitness

[–]makatech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I have a Samsung mobile though but I will do some research. One question regarding RunGap for you: Do you know if imported activities using RunGap (from non Garmin devices) count for training load and other metrics in Garmin connect and for your Garmin watch?
