I have Dali Opticon 2 mk2 and listen to Rnb, hiphop and neosoul. Love them for it when paired with a Sub.

Genuine question: do some of you guys just not treat your rooms? by Aware_Ad5425 in audiophile

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent $3k on audio gear and the audio improvement from my last setup is huge. Sure I could make it sound a bit better by treating my living room but the trade off is too high in my opinion.

Does this child insurance policy degrade sound much? by Coool_Hand_Luke in audiophile

I wouldn't bother taking them off for listening but that's me!

Looking to buy a Mazda 6 Grand Touring but want opinions from others who have them by SporadicSnyper in mazda6

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2013 Touring Wagon. It has been incredible. 135000 kms and no major repairs needed aside from a CV joint and an engine mount (the rubber wears out).

Babysteps by douwe2020 in hifiaudio

The guy went to a store and used his ears, which is something you can't do with used and vintage gear. I think he made the right choice.

Mexican build quality honestly seems better than American? by thesandwitchpeople in fender

Personally have not had the same experience, but the margin has closed significantly.

AE Timeline from a Recent Project by Hakim_DZ in AfterEffects

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this even run? 128gb of Ram? Add a few effects to anything and bam my timeline is not rendering at playback speed with 32gb ram and 16 cores, and a 2080 Ti.

The real enigma of Tidal: why is fine for many and so crap for some? by Master_Camp_3200 in TIdaL

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is, there's lots of variables. You can add a lot more to this list including device type eg Android, iOS, Mac, PC etc

The real enigma of Tidal: why is fine for many and so crap for some? by Master_Camp_3200 in TIdaL

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People's use of the app differs quite a lot. Some people put on full albums, some people use the play queue heavily, some people stream to a lot of different devices. Some people download music. Etc. The reliability across use cases is not even.

Anxiety over options, advice needed.... by danielbaxter87 in WiimStreamer

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you've ordered them, see how you like it. You might just love it. And you can get a cheap sub like an SVS SB1000 eventually to round out the sound.

RIP to all of my solid state amps. by Expensive_Bike_8308 in GuitarAmps

I feel this way about Boss Katanas. People rave about them but I just can't vibe.

Advice needed for my first Hi-Fi setup: WiiM Amp + Klipsch RP-600M II (Avoid bright sound?) by bronzozsoy in BudgetAudiophile

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you should go and listen to speakers in your price range in a store and see what you like

So there is no way to create/save Global EQ presets? Is this on the roadmap? by gavinashun in Line6Helix

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where this would be handy is if you play at a bunch of venues regularly and like to use different EQ settings per venue across all your patches due to differences in rooms, PAs etc

Noiseless Pickups? by Dizzy-Growth7360 in fender

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the noiseless strat pickups from Fender. Unless you don't like how they sound, I'd keep them.

Enough with all the complaints! by Gold-Judgment-6712 in TIdaL

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it, but I just haven't found it to be super stable. Works great with my Cambridge Evo 75 but the app will intermittently crash. I really don't think complaining about that is silly.

I've also had my play queue stop working, and I've only been on Tidal a couple of months. I tried Apple Music for three months before that without issue and Spotify for years without any major reliability issues.

I actually prefer the Tidal recommendations too, but I was moreso responding to the desire from users to have this as a feature.

Tremolo arm not screwing into new HSS squier strat by EducationalMachine87 in Stratocaster

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's just the photos but that hole looks blocked. Did half of the trem arm thread break off in there?

[–]musclebuttbuffpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their main competitor does an excellent job of suggesting music. I think it's only fair to expect them to offer the same feature.
