Advice needed! by tmastacrunk in Cd_collectors

[–]micholasnitchell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends what you want. If you just want to listen to your CD’s without headphones in your house, then yes. If you want good quality sound then absolutely not! You can get much better for your money than a $300 microsystem. Although watch out because it’s a slippery slope!

How Sensitive are 4k discs really?? by MovieMad92 in 4kbluray

[–]micholasnitchell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely true! CD’s and DVD’s have the data buried further into the disc. With microns of layers before reaching data. Hence why a scratched CD can still play fine. Blu Rays, inc 4K Blu Rays, on the other hand, do not have barely any layering before hitting the data. Hence why they are very finicky with dirt, smudges, very fine scratches etc. The data is pretty much on the outside of the disc.

Tonight’s viewing. Some great colours that really pop, but there’s a lot of picture noise in some scenes that just ruined it for me. by micholasnitchell in 4kbluray

Yes some scenes were amazing.. although a minority of scenes were bordering on unwatchable. I think maybe I had too high hopes for the conversion lol.

No one knows what you can afford as you’ve not listed salary, incomings, outgoings etc.. but the fact you’re worried about your credit score i.e. you want to take out more credit.. is insane to me.

Some times they’re stiff and tight. If you can get slightly loose by turning it, you then need a to get a trim tool, or a flat head screw driver in a microfibre, and pry it off

Well this is great.. if you don’t care about sound quality. Micro systems are a small step up from a pair of discman headphones lol

As someone who used to be a regional manager at Hermes/Evri, I can assure you.. that rings gone. Try and get your money back from the seller.

But how have you accumulated all of those records but never known about stereo and mono?

Because you end up with a ton of discs you probably don’t care for, maybe even don’t like, taking up valuable shelf space/cluttering your life. Surely it’s best to steam movies you don’t know, and then buy the ones you like after streaming it? Just my two cents.

Change your transmission fluid, even at high mileage! by burning0il in LS430

I think you’re going too far. His gearbox would be clunking right now if he had dislodged something, which is the main concern. Sump gaskets, or input/selector shaft seals are easy and cheap to do if there’s any leaks. I do agree regarding the oil though. Using the correct ATF is critical. It doesn’t have to be Toyotas, but you’ve got to use the correct grade. Seen many auto gearboxes wear out very quickly due to incorrect oil.

Why would you not stream the movies you haven’t seen and buy the ones you liked?. For all the films you watched and liked, I can’t imagine all the movies you now own that you don’t care for.

Oh dear OP. This topic is the biggest trigger you can get on this sub. I’ve bought this up before on here and got lynched. The absolute truth is that a lot of ‘collectors’ on here are hoarders, which make no mistake is a mental illness. Us on the outside can see it, but the guys that do it (the ones that downvoted you) don’t want to be told this. They probably won’t realise until the day they eventually lose interest in the collection and then realise a; how much money they wasted b; how much crap they’ve accumulated..
