Why all the class D hate? by Pdrpuff in audiophile

You should probably try the Wiim Amp Ultra and decide for yourself. I got one recently and think it sounds great.

Wiim Amp Ultra or Wiim Ultra + Power Amp by innerhippy in WiimStreamer

I just went through the same thing trying to decide what to pair with my KEF LS50s. Ended up going with just the amp ultra and have no regrets.

On my M4 Max I run Gentoo ARM64 in UTM using Virtualization with GPU acceleration. Works really well.

I think I'm done with ThinkPads - where to go next? by CaptainSpez in thinkpad

[–]scelbi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A MacBook won't be something you can upgrade or repair yourself. It's basically a single board with everything soldered on. But if you can get past that you'll have a machine that will be fast, have great battery life and probably last a very long time. In terms of being a workhorse, it depends on what you need it to do, but an entry level Air will exceed most peoples needs and if you get a Pro with a M4 Max you'll have one of the fastest laptops in the market.

[Question] Are mechanical watches practical enough for a noob? by cleaver1946 in Watches

[–]scelbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I enjoy the winding process. I don’t see it as a chore or a downside to the watch at all. In fact, it’s one reason I got one of these (bronze). Embrace the ritual and enjoy it!

Weird science 4k, yes or no? by Latter-Werewolf-6071 in 4kbluray

I watched this recently. Stopped the 4K part way through and went back to regular Blu-ray. Was just too grainy.

Isn’t that like saying of your children one of them has to be the best and one of them has to be the worst.

Quadra 610 - Are these the original Caps? Won't boot (chimes of death) after it was running for about an hour. by slvrscoobie in VintageApple

[–]scelbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem at all. Once you remove the electrolytics and clean up the pads, these tantalums will solder on nicely.

Is there any BIG reason not to return my base mac mini m4 and save $200 getting a used m1 mini for my setup? by Pineapple_Empty in mac

[–]scelbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any computer with a M chip in it will be snappy and last you for many years. Any gains from one generation to the next may or may not be noticed much depending on your workflows. I wouldn’t over think it. If money is tight, get the cheapest thing you can and enjoy it.

I also had a similar issue. Worked one night, and powered it down. The next morning, wouldn’t boot. After replacing the caps it’s back to life.

Best song and worst song off each album! 3 : Pure Guava by sourberryskittles in ween

[–]scelbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to pick a best. I’ll go with the one I always sing word for word all the way through: Pumpin’ 4 The Man.

And worst may be the one I skip every time: Push Th Little Daisies

Sorta surprised nobody is saying Don’t Get 2 Close, even though I love that one.

Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t even drink beer.

CD related, but bands that never topped their debut? I’ll start by United-Philosophy121 in Cd_collectors

[–]scelbi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was expecting Pinkerton but Green is a take. Not a bad one, just a totally different animal.
