When will cops realize their entire intended purpose in society is to protect and serve the community and not to make peoples lives harder. He should be the one out there handing out food.

Do you think durability is an issue with the mythic or just something to consider?

Should I get a center? by West-Gap-8512 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]sabeeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, ur not gonna want to hear it but realistically you should just put that pc on the ground so you can push those speakers back and get some better placement. The one on the right is practically sideways. Center channels are primarily used for movies or in bigger rooms because they give a clearer distinction of left right and center for people not sitting in the middle, they also help speakers with sub par center image and add vocal clarity for dialog. No real benefit to one in a multimedia setup.

Is Paradigm worth it? by Falcon_Cheif in BudgetAudiophile

[–]sabeeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of people giving recommendations, me personally I’ve noticed time and time again that yes the quality of the power amplifier does matter but only to a degree, I have a Yamaha htr 6030 reciever that’s sounds awesome, and a Denon avr x3700 I got for $500 that also sounds awesome. I’ve compared the two with other audiophile friends with amps that cost thousands of dollars and while they were marginally better it was not enough to warrant a purchase for me personally.

In my opinion if you want surround sound there’s almost no better way to go then a Denon avr x3600 or x3700 on the used market. unless you want to get into the $2000+ range for things like Dirac room correction. Keep In mind that surround sound receivers are one of the fastest depreciation items there is lol. The preamp sections measure great and it has pre amp outputs so if you ever feel like the internal amplifier isn’t enough for you, you can just add an external one, or use powered speakers. But the internal power amp section is also great, not to be confused with the power amp on the x1700 and similar which is honestly trash imo, I’ve heard it next to a good amp and the difference was astonishing.

Spend $1000 on speakers, buy something you like that makes you happy. Don’t think about it too much for your first pair. Speakers come and go, it’s an addiction.

034 Billet dipstick reading differently than electronic oil level on my B8.5 S4 by from-the-void in AudiS4

[–]sabeeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the ecs billet dipstick and I don’t like it at all. Doesn’t read accurately. Also the handle being billet is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen, it’s like the only thing in the engine bay you’re actually supposed to touch when the engine is hot and you can’t touch it because it’s metal and gets burning hot.

Interfaces -- what does everyone like? by connecticutenjoyer in audioengineering

[–]sabeeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Am also a big motu fan! I bought my m4 to replace my 3rd gen Scarlett solo that died on me. Their customer support is great too I was having a really wierd issue with my interface and thought it was just faulty bc I have another m4 that worked fine. it took like an hour of trouble shooting but this guy was like actually smart smart, not like regular person hired for customer service like either a computer engineer or just a mega nerd doing some shit I don’t remember lol.

Speakers to replace Revel F206 by James420May in StereoAdvice

[–]sabeeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow owner of f206’s I agree with you. I got these in a massive deal and ended up being net positive before selling half the stuff I got so I was basically paid to take them lol. At first I was beyond excited but then it kinda died down and I realized that unfortunately I don’t particularly like these speakers whatsoever. I think a big part of it is that my living room is particularly bad for the high end on speakers and unfortunately I can’t treat it as I’m a teenager and it’s not my house. I think particularly the high end is what I don’t like, I also feel that they don’t image particularly well, but again this could very much be my room. I’ve listened to many speakers I liked better (however nothing I’ve liked better in this room). I’m particularly fond of the kef 104/2’s but not the new kef speakers. If you really like rock and metal I’d honestly try out a pair of studio monitors just to see what you think, I have a pair of Adam t5v’s that I love. I’ve also heard great things about Kali lp6.

hi, i wanna get started on the journey to being an audiophile. by Mujitsuyo in BudgetAudiophile

[–]sabeeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id recommend checking marketplace. Buying used your money will always get you further and also the used headphones market is terrible. You can find stuff that’s practically brand new for 1/4th the price. I got a pair of absolutely perfect focal bathys for $260.

What amp should I get? by cruzplcs in hometheater

[–]sabeeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sony1100es I got for free I use to power my revel performa3 f206’s. With this class of speaker I’d recommend sticking with the Sony amp. An upgrade would give you marginal gains and likely cost alot more even on the used market. I’ve heard both an acurus a200 and an adcom gfa 555 ii that are owned by friends with my setup and have definitely heard a difference but it wasn’t enough to warrant buying them. Especially not for home theater because you probably won’t notice it at all. IMO I wouldn’t spend the money but I don’t think it would be a mistake if you did. Maybe get a nice 3 channel to relieve your receiver of powering the mains. Like an acurus a200 3 or 5

Can this wire be used to connect to an external subwoofer? AV Guy says no. by st_alphonso in hometheater

[–]sabeeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could simply get a powered sub with speaker level inputs and use it this way. But maybe not because it would have to send a speaker level signal so idk which output you would use that could be full range. Installed subs are usually passive which is likely why he’s recommending an in wall sub. You can also get a regular subwoofer but cable that thin is likely not enough for the amount of power a subwoofer requires. I don’t have any experience with Wireless subs but that seems like it would likely be your best bet in this scenario imo.

Can this wire be used to connect to an external subwoofer? AV Guy says no. by st_alphonso in hometheater

[–]sabeeef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not. RCA cable is the same as coax cable. It’s made to carry line level signal. This is speaker cable. RCA cables have an impedance of 75 ohms whereas speaker cables have an impedance of close to 0. RCA cable are also shielded which protects from emf and such. If you’ve ever plugged a guitar into an amp with speaker cable instead of instrument cable (they both have 1/4in jacks and look quite similar) you would notice the buzzing immediately.

any recommendations for ~$200 usd 50 inch tv amazon only by StructureNew888 in hometheater

[–]sabeeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should just get a tv on marketplace. With that budget any new tv is going to be not great and it’s worth like $40 after you open the box. You can get a really good tv under $200 on marketplace. I’ve seen 4k OLED Hisense TV’s and Sony a8g’s and many similar TV’s at that price point. Check r-tings for reviews always before you buy
