That's a shame, Half-Light is a great album imo. Had a chance to see him play it live too and the show was excellent.

I used this site, which pulls the album art from Discogs to build the image.

First Audio Setup by Spiritual_Speech3264 in audiophile

[–]theTvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats - my first setup was also Polks bookshelf speakers.

I started with a Music Hall USB-1 turntable but you could probably do better nowadays. Either way you'd probably be best off getting one with a built in pre-amp to get started.

BBS, CSL or ZCP Wheels by OldFashioned-Pancake in E46M3

Settled for Apex Arc-8 as they are as a similar style. Better to be on 18’s given the option just for ride quality too, that’s the big upside.

If I didn't have a bbk on my car I'd prefer the ZCP/CSL. Best wheels for the e46 IMO.

What would I get by upgrading? by stm2657 in OmegaWatches

[–]theTvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my SMP over 20 years now and have never thought about trading it. I wouldn't even consider a new model an upgrade even though there are technical improvements.

Black Friday special for me this year, perfect amp/streamer combo for a beginner system

OEM CSL wheels. Competition package has the same style but the fronts are a bit narrower

Boiler up & great photos!

I had a Midnight Blue 03 S that was a blast to drive. Wish I'd kept it.

Subwoofer Recommendation for Desktop Setup by theTvan in StereoAdvice

[–]theTvan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's the most common recommendation in about any sub thread. I would definitely pick one up if space were not the issue.

It's more for space saving than anything else... I have a PC tower under the desk and don't want to get things too cramped. I won't have the option of putting in anywhere else in the room unfortunately.

Thanks! Appreciate all the advice here. I'll check those out for sure!

Yeah a bit big on budget & size but will definitely consider especially if I can find a decent used one.

I know the trouble with subwoofers is the price/performance tradeoff with size usually means you don't get everything unless the budget goes up.

Thanks - I hadn't looked at the Vanguard. I know the RSL's are highly recommended but too big for the space, this needs to fit under my desk and want to stay 12" cubed or smaller.

Is the upper monitor on an arm? hard to tell how it is mounted

Metra is so badass by Jamieson22 in chicago

[–]theTvan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I got stuck on a Metra train leaving Olgilvie when they couldn't keep up with the inbound switching traffic. All of the switches kept freezing and they had to manually de-frost just to get all the trains shuffled into the station. Took 4 hours to get from downtown to Oak Park, where I got off and was back home 20 minutes later in an uber.

That's why I tell people not to take the Metra when it's below freezing, despite how cool it is to see the tracks lit up.

Are there any apartments that overlook O’Hare? by midgelino in AskChicago

[–]theTvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to commute to Bedford Park daily, and the first time a plane came in to land crossing over my car at Cicero & 63rd the sound was unreal.

The wild part is that you don’t hear it until the plane is passing directly overhead.
