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

[fuzz092888]

Been awhile since I've made any audio purchases. Almost all my money is tied up with the new house and making some improvements, like solar panels and a back deck. However, with the school year rolling around I felt the compulsive need to upgrade my classroom a bit since a few things were driving me crazy. I'm going to bring in my Jeff Bagby Mandolins and I'll use these with them

Another load of used CD's. Not sure why it's doubling up, I only got 1 each, rest assured.

Those stands look pretty nice! What kind are they and how much do they run.

Don't know anything about the except what the amazon description and reviews say, but for the price I thought I'd give them a shot. $63 + tax

So... did you pay the extra $96 for the expert set-up of your speaker stands?

Yes. Thanks! Just fixed the post. 820.2 in the white. They have the extra 10% off going again. I’ll probably keep these in 2.1 in the bedroom system. I’m moving the the QA 3020 and 3090 to the formal living room, not the HT room. Haven’t decided on a sub and AVR yet for the living room.

Sub? I recommend duals myself. Have had much better luck doing just that. BTW, I really like the White Gloss myself. Lucky you! Oh, don't forget the pics......LOL!!!!!

Only thing is that shipping ground from Florida to Seattle takes forever. I won’t have them until Thursday.

Yeah, I can relate. Have bought a lot of gear from Acc4Less myself. The wait is always painful. But, hey that is half of the fun.

Actually Alex said he would do it. Although I'm not sure this is the place to discuss payment.

Thanks to someone on here, who I will not mention, I now own this: Weber Smokey Mountain 22.

It actually works quite well. Here in Florida, smoked mullet is a big deal if you were born and raised here, at least. I have an 8ft and a 12ft cast net that I catch these fish with. It is not uncommon to net 20+ in one toss. I have caught over 40 before. Of course we have grilled other things like ribs, chicken and roasts, but this smoker will hold 8 fish (2-3lb) at a time, and with a slight mod it will hold 12.

We did a dozen Sunday:

This is really good eating. These actually almost melt in your mouth. Smoked lightly with Florida Live Oak wood at around 190 F. for about 5 hrs. The heads are left on and the fish is cut down it's back and folded open. Want to have people show up you haven't seen in awhile down here? Let the word leak out you are doing this.

I'm real interested in feedback on the PiHole.

Did you buy that pre-configured, pretty much just plug and play?

So I finally had time to set it up yesterday and I like it. It comes pre-configured and all I had to do was plug it in. I gave it a static IP and have it set as the DNS on my Sophos UTM. So far so good.

I've got about 1.3 mil hosts on my block list thanks to all the folks that maintain lists.

Works much better than it did as a docker IMHO.

I bought a flea collar for a stray cat we just adopted.



Also, my Denon X4400 should be delivered tomorrow. What better time to get a new receiver on a Friday before a 3 day weekend!!!

new keyboard. Same size/layout as old one, but this one has led lights - helps a lot while working in dark.
Got it at $50 sale thanks to Keepa.com alert
