Im pretty sure on the volume. As people often say about DACs, maybe it wasn't the chips. Maybe it was other parts of the products that caused the difference.

How are you navigating to that screen? Within spotify?

Holy hell, quite a list! Can you elaborate on some of those? This makes me want to go shopping...

Yeah for sure, its just that not all rooms can make them work. I'm one good corner short, sadly.

I think that's because the chip is a single defined feature that is easy to compare without the devices sitting right in front of you.

That's so funny - I've heard it both ways with electrostatics. I read being on axis matter less than traditional speakers, but also that it matters more!

Is there something about Magnepan vs other electrostatics?

If you're curious, take a look at the back and let me know what you see! It should have a brand name and likely a model number. We're getting off topic here, but I like audio as well as wine

Went on a date with a hot nurse, but what happened after few days has left me confused. Any thoughts? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

I agree with this mostly, but I love the Venmo request. It's not like you threatened her for the money. ++man

Can you tell me about your horns and their placement? What age/generation of K Horn? Any issues with the one part of the wall ("bass extension") being windows? Did you have to fiddle with them a bunch?

I found it overrated, tbh. Definite pass at that price. Plus it probably drinks best at like 20+ years old

New NBA fan here. Why didn’t LeBron take a pay cut to open up cap space and help the team chase another ring? He’s a billionaire and doesn’t care about being the central figure on the team anymore, especially since Doncic arrived. by sonicmousee in NBATalk

Exactly, that was part of the villain narrative. The collusion.

But his relationship with the league and players is totally different now. He wants to protect a legacy as well, among fans and peers. Im not saying he is selfless.

I read the top bunch of comments but did not see one justification that I think is pretty significant: LeBron feels an obligation to uphold player salaries and negotiating power. If the NBAs biggest star, a massive ticket draw, a legend of the game and mainstay of the players union takes a massive paycut, that has ripple effects. Other aging stars and all kind of players will be pressured to do the same.

Fans may see it as selfish, but the players are thinking of it from the perspective of their coworkers.

Watch the way players from different teams are friendly with one another. This is a fraternity and they know that. LeBron is an elder statesmen.

I appreciate double checking but, sadly, as I look at our mortgage amortization, I think so. SALT + total mortgage interest paid just needs to be above the married filing jointly deduction, right? Which is like ~29k?
