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

[hemiram]

New? Well, new to me I guess. I always had the hots for some of the old silver faced stuff. I sold stereo equipment until about 1980, and the Sansui G series were always one of the "Wow" ones, looks wise. I got this recently, with a year warranty from one of those places that restores old equipment, a G5700, a transition unit that has both an analog tuning scale and digital readout:

I bought a bluetooth adaptor so I can play music from my phone through it and a amp/speaker switch so I can run my main speakers and another set with it and my AVR. Only thing I won't have is a volume control at the receiver, but the phone will work well enough. I threw my back out trying to pick it up, so I need to get someone younger than me to plop it onto the shelf.

That's a lovely vintage amp! I was going to suggest a BT adapter that has a remote and volume control. I'm sure there must be one out there, but you already have a BT adapter.

Switching to a new Aeron Chair. Been looking at less expensive options for a while now but nothing satisfied me.

Drove 40 minutes to a showroom today to try it out. It will be much more supportive than any other recliner, executive chair or gaming chair I found. 12 year warranty, too.

I ordered a tape loop remote volume control about 30 min ago!

I did some research after promising my son a new chair for graduation. Settled on the Icon Q2 as a good mid-price chair. You can spend well over $1k for a good office chair but the Q2 comes in at around $500 here and it's a nice mesh-back chair.

I really didn't want to spend so much. I'm not a furniture guy, at all. After sitting in it for around 15 minutes and learning the controls, I understood why they have been so popular for so long.

Also, working against me is my size. Too many office chairs don't support folk with a large frame. I'm 6'3", and on a good year around 230#. I'm coming off a bad year and paying for it. *facepalm

Options for us big folk are limited, and when it comes to ergonomics, I've found you really have to match your size to get the benefit.

Hey I'm around the same size.

You mind sharing which one you got? Unless it's this one.

If it is I may do an Only Fans thing to pay for it.

Yup. That’s the one. Size C… especially if you are taller.

that sale might end today. Uncertain, though. 20% off is a good incentive.

Went to Book Off to sell some items and picked up these. After selling the items my net cost for the movie & Funko was $2.38 for both.
