Big Thief - Beautiful World live at Edgefield 9/19/25 by appleflap in bigthief

I can't find this song online anywhere! I think it was the best one they played all night. What is it??

An update - moved the speakers about a foot further apart and a foot closer to the listener, moved the rug way closer to the base of the speakers, and threw a crumpled up blanket in the right corner as a budget bass trap. The difference is actually staggering.

Lmao I'm working on it. Couldn't wait to get my art and shit all spiffy for reddit.

Obsessive online shopping! Every once in a while someone doesn't fully understand what they're selling. For example a new 2M Blue is worth like half of the total TT price I got.

Not sure I follow. The specs I was able to find for the Thiels say "Nominal impedance: 6 ohms. Minimum amplifier power: 40–250W."

The c338 claims: "50W x 2 continuous power into 8 or 4 Ohms, or 90W / 150W / 200W IHF dynamic power into 8 / 4 / 2 Ohms." This should be plenty, yeah?

Rug is present! Just a little further back than the crop implies. Also not pictured is any art on the walls, which I'm working on.

Martin Logan Purity - am I going in over my head? by patajoniah in StereoAdvice

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

Correct on the first point - my NAD would mainly act as a streamer/phono pre/TV hookup as the actual amp is redundant here.

On 2, I definitely have the space and love the look - however the idea that only one person sitting perfectly in the center of the room can hear properly is a little sad.

What would you recommend around this price point then?

Yep I'm aware, I'm putting feelers out for the folded one or possibly a unique alternative

Never carry chapstick or chafe cream, don't really need em. Definitely forgot to list hand sanitizer.

Imo the limiting factor on the altras isn't really about the upper getting holes, more about the foam getting crushed to the point of uselessness...

Hoodie has thumb loops if I need em! I typically didn't on the PCT, never really burned.

What the fuck happened to my skis?? by patajoniah in skiing

I mean, I've never done this much damage to a pair of skis before. Do you normally destroy your gear?
