She arrived yesterday. I was busy all day though and didn't have time to unpack her. What a beautiful beast

I got her hooked up, but not set up yet. I'll play with her tomorrow. Everything was brand new in the box. As you can see from the picture, the plastic wasn't even removed form the face plate. Remote was still sealed, as were the antenna and power cord.

Make sure to do the update first before setting anything up and the web tool is awesome to use! Congrats.

Also by default, the AVM 70 is set to auto shut off in 20 minutes, I thought I was having issues when I first got mine.

I do like the way you think, sir.

This just came in.

This is to upgrade the JBL soundbar at the trailer from a 5.1 to an ATMOS soundbar. The sub on the Monoprice is an 8" bottom firing verses a 10" bottom firing of the JBL. I lose a couple of Hz but gain more placement space as the unit is smaller. I will take the JBL system back home and put it back up in bedroom 2 where it stays for the winter and now forever. I will bring the Monoprice system home on closing of the trailer for the winter along with the LCD display that came with it and set it up in bedroom 3. It makes more sense to raid everything from one setup and one bedroom then split it across both bedrooms.

RC stuff. I buy what I must and build what I can. This has an axial motor, trick wheels and tires. I designed the chassis and suspension myself and gathered the parts about the internet. Way cheaper than real cars but scratches that same gearhead itch for me. Body, I bought separately and altered it for my purpose.

These are kitchen table projects. I wake up before the birds. I like having this to do until the sun comes up. Some music in the background, or perfectly silent. Great way to start the day, or end it, for that matter. I made the rocks from cement as an obstacle course. I sit out there with the birds and squirrels in the AM with my coffee sometimes.

Open box at Visions here in Canada. Got it for ~450$. Can't wait to try it out with the new 4K UHD movies I got this week.

Just purchased a miniDSP EARS rig for headphone measurements. Could be useful for future endeavors.

This arrived last night.

Nice! I have been wondering about those - are they more comfy than the originals? I have the Pink Floyd edition, like them well enough but comfort could be better...

I just sold my 3s, and I am happy with my Sony Earbuds WF-1000XM4, but they are a great set of cans. Congrats.

Great band. Well recorded with nice bass. Jazz/funk/electronic sort of.

I picked these up from kijijji with a price tag of $4.00 each including shipping. They sound good.

Cassettes. I still have a few but no players in a long time.

 

[Bucknekked]

A great recording of their best stuff. Enjoying the heck out of this

 

[lovinthehd]

Got my P/T C/C set today! Good stuff so far (still on the bluray) https://porcupinetree.com/recordings/closure-continuation/

 

[j_garcia]

Got tix. DAMN they were expensive, but I've never seen them live.

 

[Alex2507]

I've never seen them live.

I'm pretty sure at least one band member has actually been dead.
