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

[Trell]

Most of my recent purchases are firearm and car related lol.

Just got back my stock for my carbine back from getting a custom grip "fin" to make it CA compliant It was cheap for a custom fit piece and feels great, but the fact that I have to have it at all sucks.

Hyve +2rd extensions for my M&P Shield making it a single stack 10rd which is impressive for a compact EDC. Hyve extended mag release also.

The STI had a turbo coolant leak and that wasn't cheap (parts cheap, lots of labor) Immediately took it on a 300 mile trip to my parents place though, and it is running great. Still only has 34K mi on it.

The WRX is having problems receiving remote signals so i frequently cannot lock/unlock it. Bought new remote, it works more often but still fails sometimes and is getting annoying. Did not happen until they recently did my required airbag recall replacement, hoping it is not related to that because it has been a few weeks.

Is all of that about firearms

Hooray I finally got the IKEA shelf I need at my goodwill thrift store in mint condition. Only 16 bucks. Raha put in on top of my family’s compact car with a sheet underneath and some thin ropes. Thank goodness I’m only like 5 min away. Hazard lights on all the way. Phew.
I may get another one later on. Need to put my Blu-ray’s there now. Pic cause ya love em.

Hey, I'm reading Mistborn right now!

Also, you should have loaded that from the bottom first, it's going to be very top heavy and tip prone if it isn't anchored.

I need to start Mistborn just been on a reading slump. The bottom part will have my vinyl and above in my Blu-ray’s it’s real steady now. Almost done.

Other merchants are also selling it for the same price without any additional tax. I currently have the UBP-X800 but since the X700 offers Dolby Vision I'm debating if I should purchase it.

I’ve seen tons of the 700s eBay for $100-150 used or refurbed. Looking to buy one when I get a 4K 55 inch.

Damn, I wanted to see pics of it strapped on top of the compact car! That's the fun part!

Have you given them a thorough test?
Do they link to your phone easily and consistently (that is the most common flaw i have encountered with these).
The second most common problem is some have the outside surface as one big button that is very sensitive to the slightest touch so it is impossible to adjust reposition them without turning them on or off, etc.
What are your thoughts on this pair? Do they beat earlier ones you have had, or are they pretty much equivalent?

I used to own all of them before, except the Krall and Buble(this one is new and sealed). Playing them in shuffle right now. The Guns n Roses is a video greatest hits compilation on DVD. I’ll leave that for this weekend. Rah ha.

You know what? It did run through my mind, but it was a hot day. I just wanted to run in and turn on the fan. Phew. So much space still on that shelf. I’m truly lucky I got it so cheap.

I had no problems. It’s close to the Anbes 359 signature, except the soundstage ain’t as big yet. I did a overview on the headphone thread:

The Headphone Thread! Share Your Gear and Impressions, Etc.

Congrats on your setup- it’s very nice! As far as headphone imaging goes, it usually is “between the ears”, not out front. There supposedly are some models that can image more like speakers, but I have not heard them and satisfied with the difference. The big advantage of headphones over...

They are a keeper. I don’t use them for phone calls, but heard they are great. The buttons are clicky which I prefer. No problems with reposition at all.
