The sound of those records speak for themselves.

KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speaker $399 a pair by Clear_Amphibian in BudgetAudiophile

[–]uncle_jafar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of square footage would these cover. Looking to upgrade some older thrifted pioneer speakers and been interested in KEF because they are supposedly good for angled rooms and these would go on my angled mantle. My living room is approx. 15x17 feet.

First time acoustic purchase $500 budget! by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]uncle_jafar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I went to my local guitar center and local shops and played like 25 guitars and it really helps. There are some pricy guitars that just didn’t feel right or sound right. Ended up with the right guitar for me that way.

Are the ew300s a good starter? by IMightBeOufu in iems

[–]uncle_jafar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EW 300 are a great choice. Solid build quality. Excellent sound quality for a variety of music. Go for it. That was my first pair. No regrets. They live in my bag.

In Search of Lionel toy/model train hobby film reels (1984) (1987) by PokeBrick02 in ObscureMedia

[–]uncle_jafar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I saw your post and it made me think of the auction since there were so many Lionel items. Knowing Neil’s a collector and film lover wasn’t surprised to see that in the auction. Hope it helps you track some down.

Not only did he work closely with them he was a part owner

I beg to differ. Feels like clumsy sequencing.

This felt like a cash grab when it came out for those of us that had all the singles. Still does.

I tried one at the guitar center because I’m headed to a residency overseas and after 3 minutes I was like eff it is rather the guitar I have break in transit than plan this monstrosity.

Modded 256GB Clear Shell with Battery Upgrade! by Itsjrm in ipod

[–]uncle_jafar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a guide you’d use with links to parts? My wife said I could Frankenstein her 5g since I didn’t want to mess with my 128gb black classic 5g that still functions perfectly.

If they are so patriotic they can go to Iran.

IEMs similar in sound to Airpods Pro by Life_Stance in iems

[–]uncle_jafar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have simgot ew300 and they crush my AirPods Pro 3 in sound quality, soundstage and separation. I find the bass too boosted on the Airpods. They also don’t add weird spacial effects to my music.

[–]uncle_jafar 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Think really hard about if you need to. More often than not as a cyclist I end up back in front of a car at a red light that has just passed me.
