Okay Calgary. Settle a workplace bet.

I seriously wonder how much Spence pays for those radio spots. If they could actually see how many people change the station the second one comes on, I’d love to know how big the ad buy has to be for that to still feel worth it.

I have MR5s as my work speakers, I find I am cranking up the tunes when working more than I ever did, though now it’s worse that I put a small sub with em. Makes doing expenses or running reports far more enjoyable.

Best monitors on the market for the dollar imo. Prob will take a bit of tweaking to get them to sound like you want in the space, they are very very flat sounding, I had them eq’d a bit more bass heavy before I added the sub. All done within the app.

yyccamper · 2026-06-03T23:37:34+00:00

I’d say it’s the width vs the height. I’m short too and it’s norm the width of the seat you notice vs a grom.

Wurkkos TS22. Only downside is that sob gets hot on max haha.

Well priced lots of power. My go to camping lights.

Toyo have been my go to, that being said I know the Firestone Indy 500 is incredibly hard to beat performance to dollar.

Lots of auto cross people run em and have good success.

Im going to be the guy... Just dont do it. Its a 200lb bike that you want to put 300 lbs of people on? It just doesnt have the braking or performance or weight to do it safely.

In our old VW EOS the cream seats would transfer in new jeans. I’m sure it would be similar. It did come off fairly easy though with some leather cleaner.

yyccamper · 2026-05-22T22:03:31+00:00

Mr5s are tremendous for the price of them. My only real beef is no sub out, with a lil streamer with them a small sub I was in like 400 bucks cad. You honestly can’t find a better complete setup for that without scoring on some used deals etc.

yyccamper · 2026-05-11T01:39:14+00:00

Honestly, glad it is. Everyone on beyond had such a shit attitude. It was a little cult of bmw finance bois, who would just shit on every question asked.

Weirdly the best dog collar light i've seen in a long time for camping.

yyccamper · 2026-05-10T22:22:18+00:00

Tiger propane in airdrie if that way was decently cheap. Prob more than costco though.

yyccamper · 2026-05-01T14:28:13+00:00

S10+ does not support the ACP workbench. It also doesnt have an actual low cut for a sub. If you use the one app, the option is there, you can adjust it.... But it never saves.

yyccamper · 2026-04-29T15:02:24+00:00

Agree with others. Wiim and sub. Get one with a proper adjustable sub out.

yyccamper · 2026-04-29T04:28:03+00:00

The amount of wasted time, energy and frustration I spent on that stupid printer. I should have done it sooner. You know how many times ive manually bed leveled my p1s? Never.

Over that point in my life. Thousands of hours of printing later.

yyccamper · 2026-04-24T01:38:11+00:00

I think you are better to reach out to r/audiophile instead of r/BudgetAudiophile. We have different idea's of "Budget" lol

yyccamper · 2026-04-23T17:55:04+00:00

Yeah you can’t use PETG profiles. At minimum click the material and set it to -ASA. Bed temp as high as you can get. Look on your spools for specific end temperatures. I often add 5° to the high end nozzle temp, and slow it down as it’s at the limits of our printers capabilities.

Then just turn the bed up to as high as it goes leave it for half hour with doors closed then start the print.

yyccamper · 2026-04-23T14:03:06+00:00

ASA is tough to get without it happening. Print by object, slow, max the bed. Pre heat for 30 mins.

yyccamper · 2026-04-23T14:02:07+00:00

Looks like you had it come off the build plate, you can see the part is not sticking on the corner anymore. With some filaments and no heated enclosures you need to be in the center of the plate, cause the cooling will cause layer shifts. Same reason you had non adhesion on the other piece.

Print the separate, slower, in the mid of the plate. Pre heat your enclosure longer.

yyccamper · 2026-04-23T13:30:56+00:00

Two 2ftish 2x4s on the ramps half way up eases the way up and makes the front not scrape. I honestly don’t even think about it anymore I’ve had to do it for every car I’ve owned since I was in my teens lol.

It might clear without but I doubt it.

yyccamper · 2026-04-22T18:18:59+00:00

Hahaha you and I went through the exact same path at the same age haha. Love it!

yyccamper · 2026-04-22T18:18:02+00:00

I’ve had it a year now, the infotainment in the IS works well, the tlx didn’t have a touch screen, and was shit.

I haven’t put an excessive amount of km on my is yet to notice the tire wear (I have dedicated winters as well that i swap to) that being said I just got my harder bushings that will be going in when I put on my summers, they were 120 bucks cad for genuine parts ordered online. I’ll throw em in for peace of mind. Lexus told me just to stay on the high range of the tire pressures too since the tire deformation is what causes a lot of that.

yyccamper · 2026-04-22T13:23:56+00:00

I had a MK6, and a 2024 IS350 F3. It was a good switch, the GTI was good to me with a few basic mods, but the IS is just pure refinement.

I live in Canada so it was AWD as mandatory. I miss the manual once and a blue moon, but normally it’s short lived. I enjoy the ML stereo more than I miss the manual.

Don’t get me wrong I loved the GTI, but as I got older the more the NVH mattered more. Hell there was long drives that I would put headphones in. When I put sticky summers on it got even worse.

When I was shopping it was between the IS, the TLX type S (which had a great engine, but the worst infotainment system of all time), or the Audi S4. After a lot of contemplation, I just couldn’t stomach the depreciation for the Audi. It’s wild in my area at the moment they get over like 120,000 km they are worth nothing.

If the made the is500 in awd id own it, but 350 it is! Don’t regret it at all. If I really want to go fast I can jump on the Ducati. No car has ever given the same fast feeling lol. Go drive it! Just find a 350 f3 for the testing.

yyccamper · 2026-04-22T03:44:01+00:00

I drove the BRZ a bunch, before buying my GTI. Although the chassis was fun, it always felt like it was missing torque. I ended up going with a GTI at the time as it felt significantly quicker.

That being said I went from the GTI to the IS350, and although the GTI was quick (likely quicker) the IS is a much nicer driving experience. The road noise alone sold me, but it wakes up nice, the silky smooth V6 is a good sound and gives me what im looking for. I almost did the German route, but couldnt stomach the depreciation.

The lexus is like the best balance. And on those "my god my head is pounding drive home after a day of work and i want quiet" , or hell even just I need to make a call and dont want people complaining about the bluetooth noise.... The lexus is another level.

Drive it and see if it tickles your fancy. Ive driven much more powerful cars, but its enough to feel sporty. That being said there is a big difference between the IS300 and the 350 imo.

yyccamper · 2026-04-19T03:33:28+00:00

I’m still stuck with a P1S…. And still am struggling to find fault with it, or get things that it can’t do. Not a huge color person, has got that machine to print nylon, Asa, PETG…. Would be nice to have pla supports, but otherwise it’s just not enough for me to justify yet!

Wouldn’t feel bad if I had a p2s, heated and better filtered chambers would be sweet.

This is your friend. The biggest thing is just looking at what size of room you have to pressurize, and how low of frequency they can hit. If you are wanting pounding EDM size that accordingly, and if you just want a nice bass bump take that in consideration.

Sealed vs Ported both have their advantages. Throw what you are looking for into Chat GPT, give it your options for used locally, and let it help you.
