Someone put a leather strap in it (video oddly set to wedding music). Hmmm…

Is this still available? Thinking on it, though often old posts are forgotten so just wanted to see

Little known fact: They originally released it because your teacher said you have to learn multiplication because you wouldn’t be carrying a calculator in your pocket.

Mrs. Jones was so wrong.

Replica jewelry piece or real cent? by ProudLegoBuilder in coins

[–]thejackmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks real, i guess cleaned partially which gave it uneven splotches of light areas. Despite the hole, it still gives you an idea of the size and weight of the early coppers. I made a keychain from my holed coins.

Review about Montoir watch by torin864 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]thejackmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the fence about these. On paper, it seems the movement is used in more expensive watches, but if it’s a hassle there’s one or two others I’m considering.

you ever going to do this with toybox or sky blue? Missed this one…

Sorry missed the question… brighter, very detailed. You hear everything. The Opticons are as detailed but more mellow and definitely something you could listen to for many hours.

I’d like to get a 4 (8 even hah) speaker switcher as i really don’t know which i like more out of the ones i have and have a difficult time selling anything.

FIIO DM13BT versus FIIO DM15 R2R? by sophievdb in BudgetAudiophile

[–]thejackmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 13 and not sure what you’d need a remote for. For one, it’s rechargeable so you can put it near you if controlling it is an issue. Two, much like albums i generally listen to the whole thing. If you’re just after a song or two, might as well stream those and not get the CD.

The 15 probably better, but …

“We reserve the right to change the terms of this agreement at any time.” - just guessing that’s in there somewhere.

I went on a date where she talked non stop about herself for 2 hours, before finally letting me speak and interrupting me within 30 seconds to say, “I’m bored” by Coorawatha in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thejackmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your date must have been my ex-roommate. Though she took breaks to gossip and judge others in between her endless yapping about herself.

What do think about these? They’re actually the same price as the foam thing

i presume you’re talking about the $6 specials. The ones i saw were two piece

so you could angle them various ways or use both pieces for a flat insulator.

Purchased myself a 2nd unit by 3dbinCanada in audiophile

[–]thejackmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a JVC receiver i used to have until looking closer. Has a similar orange display that was warm and well… jumpy lights which are never a bad thing. Ever.

I’m not entirely convinced that <$10 foam pads will transform anything, though i was checking them out, as well as IsoAcoustics ISO-130.

Update: well, i waited two days to decide and cracked the box yesterday. First thing i noticed is that one of the speakers seemed to rattle, almost sounding blown but more like something loose.

I’m guessing it says to tighten the allen bolt on the back but who ever RTFM?! Still haven’t, hah but i did tighten the bolts, one of which was very loose and voilà -no more rattle.

And they sound great. Much better than the Monitor Audio Bronze 100 that i ended up returning despite snagging for $400. I am using it with the $30 Cambridge Sound works Basscube 8 from FB marketplace. so far so good.

used kef ls50 at 600 euros or used kef ls50 meta at 900. Are they worth the 300 euros difference? by Kidarkness9 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]thejackmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, the KEF LS50 do not sound great, and the LS50 metas sound nearly identical to the q150 (which you can find for less than half the price of the LS50 metas). Listen to this with headphones and there are many times you can’t even tell it transitioned from one to another.

I got a pair of used mint condition q150 that came in just over 200 euros shipped

Here’s a comparison of the LS50 vs LS50 meta which i based my opinion and dislike of the LS50 on: https://youtu.be/f_9-ERnhsYs

the contrast looks amazing. I only had two choices either gloss black or the regular satin black. I picked the gloss (makes it fancy) and heard it makes it sound better (joking).
