Thanks, better bass than the Grados and AKGs probably due to being closed back. And I pretty much got them at a really good price as in 30 dollars shipped. Reactions: panteragstk and afterlife2

M MrBoat Audioholic Ninja Nov 13, 2016 3,616 0 113 64 Tampa, FL. Nov 19, 2022 #8,724 I am pretty fanatical about dusting my speaker drivers. My home can get dusty, and I don't always have time, or the HEPA to deal with it. But I do keep it out of and off of my electronics. In the trades, I always keep a dust brush in my tool kit. Especially when I was doing interior remodels and had to keep cleaning as I went. This usually consisted of a worn paint brush from 4-6". The bristles were finer and worked efficiently for dustier messes. An old paint brush and a drywall joint knife as a dust pan worked perfectly. Went looking for "dust brushes" online and it came up with a lot of things that are for designer dust, it seems. Not the old fashioned kind like I deal with on most days. When I can't find what I need, I always end up looking what the girls are hiding. Why? They have the coolest tools. Their makeup brushes make some of the best dusting tools on the planet. I bought an assortment pack for my speakers and electronics and anything else I tend to tinker with. These get into the grooves of the surrounds and everywhere else and gentle as can be. The smaller ones can detail around any screens and other built in tweeter grilles and whatnot as well. Just can't let my GF see these because she will nab at least some of them. They act weird when we use girl tools for guy things, like we're not really supposed to have them. lol Reactions: Eppie, Mark E. Long and afterlife2

No, my fault as I didn't realize it has gloss top and front panels; simply not a fan as it's easily scratched and attracts finger prints and dust like a magnet!!

I have TLJ and Rogue One 4K already. My old discs are mostly sitting around, need to give them to my parents for their other house, but some duplicates are already 4K since I bought box sets for some and the parents haven't gone 4K yet.

Verdinut Audioholic Spartan Aug 31, 2016 5,998 0 113 86 Montreal, Canada Dec 1, 2022 #8,738 Hybrid Smartwatch with ECG, Heart Rate & Oximeter - ScanWatch | Withings The hybrid smartwatch that detects atrial fibrillation, with ECG and an oximeter for SpO2 measurements—plus activity and sleep tracking. www.withings.com I've just received this watch. I chose the one with the blue dial and the rose gold body. With it, I will be able to find out if I experience an atrial fibrillation episode in my sleep as it can take my heart rate 24 hours a day, as well as other health measuring features including an oximeter. This product is made in France and sold from Withings US warehouse located in North Carolina. It is approved by US medical associations and cardiologists. While it provides an ECG recording feature which is available for US, unfortunately this feature has not been approved in Canada so far. Last edited: Dec 1, 2022 Reactions: afterlife2

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Dec 1, 2022 #8,739 Got this Audio Technica AT-33Sa cartridge installed on the recently refurbished Acoustic Research XB turntable. OMG! This thing beats the Hana ML cartridge I also recently got and put on my other TT. Deeper, more defined bass and smoother everywhere else in the frequency range that I can still hear. The Shibata stylus on a boron cantilever is much more forgiving of light surface defects as well as any artifacts deep in the grooves, yet retains all the detail that it should. Incredible value!!

Aluminum tubes I cut to 1ft lengths, made some captive cover cups and carpet spikes of solid aluminum. All given a ScotchBrite finish. Love the cleaner looks, cable management likely later this weekend. Edit: Oh yeah, my spend on the whole project added up to about $214. Money well-spent!
