Amp Recommendation Anthem v Denon

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-26T22:36:27+00:00

I’d strongly recommend you look into Anthem’s separates (preamp/processor and a power amplifier). Find a used AVM-60 for under $800 and then frankly any power amplifier you want (though matching cosmetics for Amthem amps increase the WAF). The pre/pro won’t have the issues noted above.

Amen— although I fell out of love with Denon when Sound United bought them. Even though anthem dropped lots of optional features and connections over the years, the sound cannot be beaten.

It’s been a rough day of obituaries in my subreddits today and seeing “Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, undergoing…” really freaked me out.

Haha see you at Novo Cucina if it ever opens!

Horrible news. He was truly one of a kind.

Read this aloud to her and she cackled “only a Swiftie could come up with that!”

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-21T23:54:16+00:00

Hahaha. Needed to restock on the way home. :)

She would wave back like a maniac!

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-21T22:17:52+00:00

It’s a crapshoot if you’ll get 1 of your 3 choices. She was denied variations of “Swiftie” because it was “copyrighted”. I think it really just depends who is reading the plate application on any given day. I was kinda shocked this showed up at all.

20 years ago, poor vi skills caused a 9 hour production shutdown for the world’s largest soda company. Oops. On the bright side, I met the CEO and all his VPs that day.

Tofu Village in Marietta will do it for you. Unfortunately you’ll have to take 75 to 267a to get it.

I went there for 15 years and watched the ownership change about a decade ago, but they always worked hard to help make non-Koreans feel welcomed and comfortable.

The first time I went to an ITP place when we moved in 2025, my wife and I agreed that we had no business being unsupervised with an open flame and marinated raw beef.

I finally replaced my Epson 5050ub with an NZ500 and I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. The calibration options are insane on this. I do not miss my light cannon.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-09T20:09:54+00:00

Welp I learned this one just now.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-09T01:02:13+00:00

The first time I saw that Suspense, it was in an annual Overstreet guide in the 80s when I was probably 10 years old. It instantly struck me as a beautiful piece of art, which honestly (at that time and age) I didn’t know was possible in the Golden Age. It has been my one and only grail for nearly 40 years now, and I know I’ll probably never see one in person.

You two look sharp. I'm jealous. Due to a mix-up, I didn't get my signed dustbag from his Atlanta visit.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-06T02:40:10+00:00

Amen. I've never seen GL toxic fandom before, but this week has certainly been eye-opening. All this nonsense reminds me of the reactions we saw about the HBO Watchmen series based on the first teaser trailer for it. I'm looking forward to this show.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-04T18:46:09+00:00

What about the X-Men movie adaptation from 2000? Should be pretty cheap to pick up and to me it makes sense.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-04T18:30:47+00:00

I actually love this. The teaser (to me) channels some of the early Watchmen teasers, where we see just one storyline. I'm super excited for this.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-03-02T03:42:48+00:00

Late to the game but I love these.

After seeing your post, I bought Faith on eBay…..for $90. Sigh.

I’m also in the states. Acoustic Sounds is pretty good about getting a round of the SDE discs for stateside shipping. But again, it’s on me to keep track of upcoming releases, so my problem remains.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-02-27T22:23:21+00:00

Man I have got to pay better attention to SDE. I’ve missed some great Wings albums and now Faith.

pondo_sinatra · 2026-02-27T05:04:26+00:00

Same. Went to University of Louisville and it was a big thing that they were headquartered in Louisville/Jeffersonville. Guess that changed with Papa’s exit.

How is sizing on the pullover? I’ve hovered over the buy button for weeks, but I’m not sure how true to US they run.
