What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[zieglj01]

Well I did it -- the Integra prices at AC4L are really nice -- so I picked up the 50.2 -- and with the 20% off and $8.99 shipping it came to $248 -- placed the order at 12:59 and got a shipped message at 1:26 -- they are quick/fast -- if it all works out, I will be selling my Yamaha 581 which I recently bought.

This thing has some power

the DTR-50.2’s left channel, from CD input to speaker output with two channels driving 8-ohm loads, reaches 0.1 percent distortion at 147.4 watts and 1 percent distortion at 172.4 watts. Into 4 ohms, the amplifier reaches 0.1 percent distortion at 200.4 watts and 1 percent distortion at 259.8 watts.

A Case of ICE COLD MILLER LITE BREWS 12 ounce cans, cause I like to recycle back into the system. Update: My brand new Attorney at Law I just hired today!

True, but that beverage doesn't qualify as "beer."

If I had known then (4 years ago) what I just learned now, I'd have planned my system better to keep the front speakers equidistant from the receiver to be able to utilize these cables!

Just installed these 2 components to my existing Sprinkler System.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WP88T2S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now I am able to control my Sprinkler System from work or when I am on vacation in Cancun next week.

Very simple installation and setup. Seems to work great.

So today I just ordered the WiFi module for my Gate Opener so I can remotely open/close my gate from anywhere.

Love that rain bird controller! That's a great price too. Where's my card...

So darn easy to spend money, isn't it?

Sad but true. Wish I knew the formula to make money by spending it!

I just received a second one of these DVD players as inexpensive replacements for some dead CD/DVD units I've been culling from older A/V systems.

A good deal -- looks good

If you have an older AV receiver or don't need HDMI it's definitely an inexpensive way to play CD's & reg DVD's

...guess I just don't fit in with the " "Circle Jerks".

Wonder how that unit would compare to Onkyos flagship? or Marantz flagship? or Yamahas flagship? between the three the specs are very close. Outside of features and soundfield processing, Mid level units are a great value paying.

umm,..I believe it's called the Money "Marketer's". there's this thing called penny stocks..

Man...you've been as busy as I have!

Nice touch on the sweets...always a big Reeses fan...Paydays were a favorite too.

The speaker stands look like they adjust for height...how high to the go?

LOL....yeah the sweets I sell for my Philippine Sister. She is always looking for ways to make a buck or two. I also love the Resse's and the Paydays. As far as the stands go, they lock in at 32.5" and my new desk is a little bit over 30". But, I also have the Mo-Pads on top of the stands. As such, my Wharfedale Diamond 220's are the perfect height and sound fantastic! They are vented via the bottom so placing close to the rear wall is ideal. Thanks for the compliments. Now I have the other half to finish. Just had a busy week. Hope to have it done very soon. Looking forward to getting my Wharfedale Dentons up and running.


Cheers,

Phil

My stands are a tad too low for the surrounds...probably will end up building some plinths to raise them up.

Good deal on the Wharfedales...as much as I get a rise out these new toys, I'm ready to get back into enjoying the music...I've played a few CDs via the Oppo 205 and I like the results, I'm looking to buy a few SACDs and maybe a bluray movie today.

I need to get an early start in that attic tomorrow to finish the wiring for the surrounds.
