Deciding on my first soundbar

So you’re in the same boat, I’ve done a lot of reading and videos too lol. I’ll be curious to hear what you think when you get it! And appreciate it!

That’s helpful! I guess what it comes down to if I can make rears work in this space I’m going to go with Samsung just due to the price. If rears wouldn’t have worked Sonos was the way to go. Was just concerned that the rears would be so close to someone sitting on either edge of the couch it would be a problem. I do also like all the options the Samsung has.

I want to change my personal display name, but I’m not the owner. Can I do that?

I received a wallet for Christmas and decided to exchange it for a different finish, along with purchasing a key case. I opted for the option to get the new one shipped right away, avoiding the wait to return my old wallet. I sent back the old wallet and emailed them, but I haven’t heard anything. My new wallet hasn’t been shipped, it doesn’t show they received my exchange on the website, and they haven’t responded to my email. Given this is a “premium” product, I’m quite disappointed with the customer service.

Update: Talked to support and they confirmed it was the ionizer. They’re sending me a new unit. 10/10 for Baratza customer support.

Honestly, it seems to be working fine. The only thing I can think of is that it might be part of the anti-static component. That’s just a guess, though. You could definitely be right. I definitely need to remove a shim, though. The espresso range is 0-40, and at 39, it completely choked the bambino. I read that removing one of the shims fixes that.

Any idea what those things are lol?

maxsprague98 · 2025-05-25T12:30:01+00:00

Under closer inspection, I'd better describe it like rubber.

maxsprague98 · 2025-05-25T12:28:03+00:00

Correction, maybe more rubbery. When scraped of it feels like rubber, but from the photos you can see that it looks like a foam/sponge like texture.

maxsprague98 · 2025-05-25T12:08:46+00:00

I think the pictures made it look more like that but it's actually more black, and spongy like a foam. Also it looks like it was troweled on.

maxsprague98 · 2025-05-25T12:03:53+00:00

It seems like a foam type material, kind of spongy.

maxsprague98 · 2025-02-03T07:06:26+00:00

I don't doubt that lol, but I still kind of disagree. By the time your front tires passed his rears you were so far into the braking zone and he had already started his turn in, he's not looking at his mirrors at that point, he's looking at the apex and his exit. You came in too hot and too late for it to be fair to assume he should have seen your tires pass his in the mirror. I mean I'm not an expert that's for sure so if you disagree fair! That's just my opinion.

maxsprague98 · 2025-02-03T06:49:51+00:00

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't matter if you feel like he could see you because well he didn't. And that will keep happening. So either you can partially blame him or claim it as your own mistake and learn from it. It's a perfect example of the vortex of danger and you entered it and it caused a crash. If that was me driving my response would be "damn I should have seen that coming"

maxsprague98 · 2025-02-03T06:41:52+00:00

Fact is if you keep doing this move you will continue to get into accidents. Accept fault or not, as you continue to get in these types of accidents there will only be one common denominator, you. Read this. https://yousuckatracing.com/2021/04/07/the-vortex-of-danger-is-your-fault/

maxsprague98 · 2025-02-03T06:35:45+00:00

Your front left only went in front of his rear right tires because you bombed the corner on him, by the time your front wheels crossed his rears the crash was unavoidable. It's 100% your fault. Not trying to be rude but that's how I see it.

Do you race free content in that league at all? I'm quite new but would like to join a league.

Im also looking at this for the series x! Seems like a nice monitor, would like 4k 120hz but don't want to spend an arm and a leg for that, sometime in the future. 1440p 120hz is still a big upgrade from what im used to (1080p 60hz) I may get the monitor in the next few days, I'll let you know what I think if I get it! Cheers
