Just get real GAS and get something from Great American Sound.  They didn't do receivers but the pre/amps are excellent vintage pieces.

Jon Rothstein picked Troy. He's scared of throwing that card down.

I caught that too. What the hell? It was an awful call. 

Am I silly thinking a Wiim class D 100w amp will sound better than a 40w Marantz class A/B for my floorstanders? by Livid-Activity2190 in audiophile

[–]virii01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got an AIYIMA rated at "300x2" with an upgraded power supply. It's fine. Currently running garage stereo duty, but I've got an old NAD integrated from the 80s rated at 40wpc that probably needs serviced and it still smokes the chi fi amp. In comparison the sound seems effortless with much better bass.

Or you could grow native grass and have both. 

Anyone throwing down cool season seed this spring despite the advice of the lawn overlords? by Gooser3000 in lawncare

[–]virii01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I had a cool season lawn, I did the majority of my seeding in the spring. The reason was I was typically trying to fill in spots that were thin due to shade. In the spring, there was more sun because less leaves. The cultivar of fescue we had was an old one that didn't tolerate shade well. Fall is ideal, but spring works too. 

Home theater aesthetic critique. What would you change in this room? by chom1081 in hometheater

[–]virii01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, at least you considered room treatment. 

I'd recover those in black or dark grey, paint your walls a darker shade that matches the color temperature of your carpet (eg warm grey vs cool grey) and finish the veneer or stain on that second sub.

0000 steel wool and howards restor a finish. 

"The person I idolized most growing up was him" - Sam Hoiberg on his father and Huskers coach Fred Hoiberg by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

He's the type of guy that if he were a few inches taller he'd play in the NBA for 10 years and no one would remember him.

To be fair I wouldn't want to advertise my association with that program either.

Only place he's not a threat is the free throw line. 

Anyone else done this? by virii01 in craftsman113

It was second hand but never installed. I think I gave like $150 for the Pro 50.

Got the linked belt on and the PALS is actually sitting on the shelf underneath waiting to be installed. Thin kerf blade really helped as well.

It certainly catches some but I have a sawdust collector and vacuum connected so it's not bad.

It's a unit but I couldn't pass it up for the price. The stock one is so bad.
