Azimuth

line-level or active analog crossover, or digital?

I am just using passive vertical bi-amping. One stereo amp for L, one for R. One channel for woofer, other channel for mids and highs.

Some things that might help: TENS machine with the large pads, menthol patches (Walmart's are very strong; I like the weak Salonpas ones), lidocaine patches. Hope you feel better.

I feel your pain @Azimuth I'm having issues with my lower back, hip and leg on my right side. Goes slightly painful where I can get by on some ibuprofen and muscle relaxers, to the worse pain I've ever felt in my life and can't even get around. Had x-rays looked normal. Next step Friday MRI with orthopaedist. Hopefully nothing bad or long term.

That is not goo @HotRatSalad. But I take it that they would be able to tell a bulging disc on an X-Ray. I hope you get some relief soon. For me, I am finally back to 90-95%. Still just the littest bit of pain down low, but nothing serious. I have finally put away the heating pads for now thankfully.

Eat some hot chicken

Guess we're sick buddies together man. Let's both eat good food and get better soon!

Day 3 and sinus symptoms trailing way off, but still a low grade fever and wooziness. Ugh.

Wishing you all a speedy recovery. Virus are no fun, no matter the type or variant.

It’ll be over soon. Best wishes!

Thanks @jowls. Some sort of block beyPayPal and Gumtree. I think there are so many scams that PayPal is overprotective here and it’s blocking my transaction. Even CS tried to clear it and it just came back.

If you are confident with the seller I would be happy to act as an intermediary. Let me know by PM.

Finally settled through PayPal invoice. Thanks for @jowls for offering to step in!

@joch I was also about to say, "Know where they are as well." lol. Easy to misplace those little guys.

Keep them with the 3.5 to 6 mm adapters. Or maybe with the 6 to 3.5 mm adapters.

Either way, you can be sure.

@Vansen That's gotta be one of those case of "I don't believe in coincidence: I believe in God incidents."

Whatever moats your goat, rtaylor76

Just pay $8 for a verified account first

This is the best answer @E_Schaaf! lolololol

I did rep it last year. It is quite good with some fat music. Still I like the cheaper Aria a little better for the price.

The Aria’s are heavier and case is bigger. I like the size, fit, look, and feel of the Starfields.

Enjoying the 800 talk around here lately. Feels like belonging to the dark side sometimes, ha. I really, really like mine.

Used especially (usually pretty well south of 1k now pretty regularly) it’s a pretty fantastic value proposition, as long as your chain is in order/to your liking.

Landmark headphone and reference point in the hobby. Was my main headphone for years and still use it since grabbing a Utopia

I’ve never found better for classical despite more resolution with the Utopia and LCD-4. Enjoy!

Is the gold different than the plebeian lead or whatever in more than just the finish? Never heard one of these doodads but as things open up I could imagine getting a dongle thingy one day.

Yes it is different that the normal Go Bar. Better internals.

I would rather die from curiosity than ignorance.

Thanks @gixxerwimp. I did get the quote from Ted Lasso, but it’s is still sage advice.

Maybe you just need to meet the right mouse?

Seriously: using one that is too small could strain the finger, for instance. Having a mouse whose body comfortably accommodates the relaxed hand, requiring little or no effort click, on the other hand?

Unless you are gamer, or some other kind of manic clicker?

I've been using trackballs for many years for work (currently a logitech wireless model). I switched due to mouse-related RSI, but that mainly showed up as wrist and elbow pain. Since the trackball doesn't move that stress is completely eliminated. Not sure it would help with finger pain, as you still have buttons to click. I still use a mouse for gaming btw; trackballs suck for that purpose.

I have started regular finger stretching and that has helped. Will likely pick up a cheap wired trackball to see how it goes. Although I think I already know I will probably prefer the big ball one.

Recently had a $1K washer that was only a few years old fail, and the repairman sang the praises of a brand called Speed Queen. We ended up writing the old washer off and buying the TC5, and we're really happy with it. Has its tradeoffs (like everything) but our clothes have never been cleaner & it's built like a tank with a pretty great warranty.

After too many rounds with consumer crap we invested in commercial laundry equipment. Best investment ever. Works fine, lasts long time. Only change would be to add the coin operation metering for one of my sons that does all his laundry at our house.

^ Seems like people either need a new one every 2-3 years or they last 15+ years...

UMD was the format the original PSP used. Basically a disc in a plastic housing. Was a pretty decent solution to getting console style 3D gaming in a portable.

My favorite obsolete format remains laserdisc.

@atomicbob I do, as that’s how I learned a “bit bucket” is a physical thing.

I've been hoping against hope for years that he would find peace. I guess he has.

Mine arrive today! I am coming from a set of ER4XRs. They are good (really good actually), but I miss engagement from them (no slam, no soundstage depth). Also BA timbre... I expect these to sound more normal in this sense.

You have to mod them to get out of the 4k peak.
