As long as they are in great shape, yup. Driver surround holes, tears or other issues would drive the price down. My friend sold VG pair recently for approx. $750.

Agree with @bixby. Considering used Heresy 2 prices have gone above that for birch raw cabinets. That sounds like a good deal on Forte 2s if they aren't beat.

Home ownership, gotta love it!

Seriously, hope they fix it up for you. I’m on a well too - good for some things, but not for power outages.

The main problem is we are on a leg of power that has no redundancy, so any damage along the 5+ mile stretch and power is out for 3500+ people.

I feel your pain. We had to throw all our food out 4 times this past year. Just got a generator a couple of weeks ago, so welcome to the club.

The same reason I upgraded from my old Onkyo to a newer Marantz. Dolby vision in particular.

Nice. It was on my shortlist. I went with the Yamaha TSR-7850 instead, but only because I've been a loyal Yamaha receiver guy for years now.

@Skyline same reason I went with Sony, I've had Sony receivers for a long time. 20 years ago I got a hand-me-down Sony from my pops and it was 4-5 years old at the time. That receiver is still going strong in a friend's garage.

I'm on Firefox for PC but Samsung stock browser for mobile; it just works really well. I've been wanting to try Brave for how well people here like it but too lazy, lol.

About my only bit of whinging is wanting to link things to my Google account because I've already resigned to selling my soul to them.

Pale Moon --- Like Firefox before they spoilt it.

I switched to Firefox on desktop when they released the “quantum” update several years ago. I’ve been happy with it.

Serenity now. RIP

Manssiere! RIP

I guess speed varies per mower too though. He has a commercial Gravely.

Mine is a Craftsman Z550. Made by MTD like every other non-commercial zero turn, but I like the Briggs and Stratton Pro engine over the Kohler or Kawasaki so I went with the Craftsman.

I used to have a commercial Gravely. Loved it for the 2 acres in GA. In FL I don’t even own a mower!

@ergopower's suggestion of a pole jack in addition to the bridging should eliminate the issue if bridging alone doesn't quite nail it.

For a china display cabinet, where things are rarely moved or taken out, you can secure everything with Blu Tak. https://www.amazon.com/Bostik-Mastic-Adhesive-approx-801103/dp/B00I42EOJE/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=blu+tak&qid=1586865605&sr=8-2 ...

For the liquor, you could try lining the shelves with silicone mat like this: https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Counter-Resistant-Tablemat-Placemats/dp/B07D9CTW2B/ref=sr_1_39?dchild=1&keywords=silicon+kitchen+mat&qid=1586865845&sr=8-39 It should easily absorb vibrations, but actual movement might be amplified, as you would now have the bottles on a soft surface.

Try all the cheap'n'easy before getting structural!

@Cspirou, there might be another one on Sunday, 9PM Pacific I think it was?

@Lyander - that would be 6am local time. I'll probably be sleeping

Crap, forgot where you were, my bad! On the upside this might become a monthly-ish thing, so it's not like it's a limited window. Also just guessing loads of people have a bit more free time now to chat lately, haha.

Lol. Before the virus stuff, I was trying to organize one with friends. Make sure to take stretch breaks!

@fraggler Stretch breaks are a must. This will be the 5th time I've done this lol

You can skip the journey by hitching a ride on some giant eagles. Gandalf knows them for some reason, ask him...

It was Culligan. The softener is great and everything else about the install went great, they just didn't check under the sump crock lid when they put the lines in.

Shit, that coulda been worse though, glad it was minimal.

Water/flood damage. Too many of us. Glad you caught it before it got really bad.

After this I'm building a workbench and shelves in the garage. It's a 2.5 car with a 15x25 workshop on the back.

Man, that's awesome! I really miss having a work bench. Didn't fully appreciate having one until moving to my current house without one.

My father imparted this wisdom: you don't own a house; it owns you.

It sounds damn good. Digitally sourced or not, it was done with care.

Wishing you much happiness in your new home!

My listening position in the living room is dead center now, and the speakers are only about 10ft apart and I'm about 10ft from each speaker, so soundstage and imaging is really wild.

After that overpriced apartment of yours, smart move. I should do the same, but even housing prices in Jax, FL are going up more than my wages.

Definitely congrats....best of luck, make it a home.

Mazel tov! Moving in and unpacking can be a slow grind, as are repairs (if any is needed). But, you did it! The hard part is behind you. "Onward and upward!"

Steel is not as hard as diamond. Nowhere near.

I think you would be safe playing a stainless-steel record of anything. Unless it knocks the stylus off its mount.

(pedantic afterthought: yes, diamond is brittle, and, although it can scratch a hammer, the hammer can crush it. So... how hefty are those transients? lol)

But the GOOLIES always respond the same way.

The dude that did the pre-move survey was an audio guy and asked a bunch of questions about my setup, and at the end he said he was going to insist they make crates for the KEFs. Pretty awesome since my wife's work is footing the bill for the whole move.
