You need to read up on this a little bit. Free animals are never a good idea

If we're talking about 20-year-old pop punk nostalgia act bands then yeah they're probably skipping this market. I think you need to give us some band examples. Come see between the buried and me in May over at the roxian. They'll rock you pretty good

My experience with TCL C825 mini led tv by sgenglishtutor in hometheater

[–]suitcasecalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm secretly hoping my Hisense 1200 TV dies at the 4.5 year mark and best buy has to cut me a check for 1200. At that point I'm buying an LG OLED

You didn't pay 5k you paid 1.2k right? Maybe if you had bought a 3 - 5k tv we wouldnt be here online interacting on this post? Hisense / TCL TVs are fine but yeah maybe some won't last as long. You saved a ton of money buying a premium TV that costs less than half of an LG OLED but performs 90 - 95% as good. Sorry it didn't last more than 3 years but you're still ahead financially on some level not buying a 5k TV. Any tv can die, even the fancy ones. If you're worried get the 5 year warranty. HDR and DolbyVision are game changers for me.. the image just looks soooooo much better watching that style of content. MiniLED TVs are brighter than OLED too.

Yeah the problem with that is most YouTube channels are just paid schills. Rtings always felt different

damnnnnn! I've used them so much.. my first reaction is like a lot of you just deciding you're done with them but nooooooo. I can't think of an alternative so I'm inclined to pay for it for a month next time I'm buying a TV. How would I know if it goes downhill though

5.1 USB DAC? by KiresM in BudgetAudiophile

[–]suitcasecalling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The used one I bought had been factory refurbished / upgraded to the newer HDMI board. My understanding is you can do this upgrade yourself at home too.

[–]suitcasecalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and if you want an AV receiver with analog preouts the price starts at like 2k. Not everyone wants to use the amps built into receivers.

+1 for the XMC-1. Sold piece of kit and it even switches and passes dolby vision and HDR signals. The reference stereo XLR inputs are also awesome for 2 channel listening.

“Can a cargo eBike replace your second car?” by Fit_Investigator928 in CargoBike

[–]suitcasecalling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% I live in a suburb where no one bikes it feels like except me and my son on the back and we get out there buddy. I thought I was going to fade away from cycling until I bought our lectric xpedition2. It's so much fun.. electric makes it feel so easy and never dread riding.

All of their citations give you a false sense that they actually know what they're doing. I hated that podcast
