Strange flex

there's a local classified with a guy selling a 179 which seems like a step up from the 117, but I'm having trouble seeing what all the extra money gets me?

@Armaegis Accuracy, speed, and TrueRMS. True RMS is more accurate voltage for AC voltages. As well as durability and longevity. My 117 is also smaller and lighter weight than my old 77.

I was talking to my uncle who was an electrician at a factory that made UL listed products (water pumps). And he had to send his meter every so often to get calibrated so when the UL inspectors showed up they asked to see his calibration sticker on his meter.

For UPS Shure Post, times I have gotten shipments with that option, its like I can guarantee whatever my package was, its going to take like an extra week to arrive. Feel like that option is, "Whenever your post office feels like delivery"

USPS has always been near flawless for me. For larger packages though, UPS is usually better, but Ground is slow AF, but not nearly as slow as FedEx Ground.

I have a package from the UK which was lost by USPS in Mid-May, still can't even make a claim because it's international, and whenever the undefined waiting period ends, I have to go argue with my local branch manager. No phone service allowed.

TBH - it fits what I was looking for more than (>) what MJ3 is.

@Azimuth Tubes or LISST?

@Claritas Tubes. Did not read reports of much fondness with LISST, and those are actually hard to find now.

@Armaegis If they tried to block it then it would just turn up no searches. It wouldn’t turn up 404 errors. It seems the whole domain is down and he had more than just that on his site.

Most likely... but possible that HF sent an angry letter saying "shut it down"?

Anyways, don't care to speculate too much more... but ya, this sucks. Used it every time I bought used gear.

I'm not so sure. Devbrada is mainly a "catalog of game studio jobs around the world," and the head-fi classifieds is separate to that, but the entire site is down.

I'm always here @Claritas, just more of a lurker these days. And yes @Vansen, it was for non-users. Once you logged it it would go away.

Logged in I still get tons of ads.

Yes @gixxerwimp, they used to go away, now they are all over the place.

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!
