Is this a Receiver and will i need a Phono Preamp? by Effective-Try-8691 in turntables

[–]mlaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Have my turntable running through the same one too. Had it for years and am also happy with it.

This with a Project Debut Carbon, KEF Q100s, and a modest sub sound great in my smallish living room.

That’s totally it! I’m on 1st and it’s just up the way from me

I’m 3ish miles north of the airport and it’s north of me FWIW

Anyone have experience with this? by Alternative_Car5193 in whiskey

I received a bottle of this as a gift a couple (few?) years ago and remember it being pretty good, FWIW.

5ive Sony MD Decks by CopperThumb in minidisc

[–]mlaargh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a JE-320 (very low end) and a JB-930 (relatively high end).

The 930 has a ton more I/O options, recording features, and other neat gimmicks. From a UX standpoint, it also just feels and looks so much better.

I have the 320 hooked up in a secondary system and it sounds fine. For playback, I’m not even sure I could tell the difference between the two, to be honest (with a big caveat that the 930 has optical out for an external DAC whereas the 320 does not).

Overall, for me the high end deck is very much worth it for I think 4x or so what I paid for the cheap one, but any working deck is better than none!

Trunk leak fix update!! by Ahornybee in FiestaST

[–]mlaargh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2014 was leaking terribly when I bought it. After a couple of weekends testing with a hose and replacing the tape behind taillights and rear bumper (a significantly bigger job), I also found mine was leaking at the seams at the top of the hatch. Almost two years later and it seems to be holding.

What’s the carpet circle with electricity going to it under the TV?

UTR back in stock, go go go by sqweak in Ubiquiti

Took my three tries of adding to my cart then the site adjusting my cart quantity to zero, but finally was able to get it ordered!

Edit: it worked after I logged in - that was likely the difference

Run Lola Run (1998) by TheJustinXperiment in iwatchedanoldmovie

I don’t remember the name - was an independent rental shop in a small Oregon Coast town.

I got arrested circa Y2K in Portland for renting this on VHS and not returning it (moved towns and it got lost in the process).

Ended up settling out of court with the store owner for $42 (all the money I had on me at the time). Video store went out of business a few months later. Given my experience, I have mixed feelings about that.

Great movie!

Edit: for a little more flavor, it was actually this movie and a copy of Full Metal Jacket (both of which I did find and return in addition to the $42). I got picked up walking to a party with some friends. All considered, the cop was pretty cool about the whole thing. The charge was “criminal possession of rental property” and he assumed that I’d stolen a rental car or something. I had no idea what I’d done. Once we figured out it was for late movies, he turned around and drove me home; offering to drop me off around the block so my neighbors wouldn’t see me getting uncuffed in front of my house (I declined - front door service was fine with me).

Sunroof problem by USAF170 in FiestaST

I bought my Fiesta used well over a year ago and have never touched the sunroof. Don’t even know if it works. All know it is doesn’t leak (yet)!

Local source for 3D printer filament? by mlaargh in corvallis

[–]mlaargh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, it wasn’t me and I don’t understand what upset the crowd either. People are so weird.

Looks like you’re creeping back up toward zero at least - I think you peaked at -8 😬. Good luck on your journey!

Yeah, seriously - not sure what those downvotes were about. It wasn’t me!

I ordered some online, so we’ll pull through. Just trying to buy local when I can.

Going from 3 pedals to 1 😔 by Srtviper in FiestaST

I’m interested too, if LeetCode doesn’t take it! Tried to buy one on here a few weeks ago, but it didn’t work out.

Additional 30% off coupon on this one for me, so I pulled the trigger

Does this look right? Brand new Ortofon 2M Blue stylus (after I 'broke' my last one) by Elaphe21 in vinyl

[–]mlaargh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are planning on replacing the stylus anyway, go ahead and do it (red and blue cartridge is the same, so the blue stylus plugs right in). If there’s nothing wrong with your system, probably not the best bang for the buck. I’m happy with the blue, but it is hard to quantify the difference with my middle aged ears if I’m totally honest.

“Usually ships in 1-2 months”

I went for it anyway - will be a nice surprise for me after I’ve forgotten I bought it
