  1. Hey guys, Just a heads up of a post I saw on Facebook. For a small company in a niche market, that kind of loss can threaten being able to stay in business. Avoid crazy deals and no buying off the street or in back alleys/white vans.
  2. I'm sold on the uturn, but now it appears the wait is until May:(
  3. The emotiva is $90 with my e club discount.
  4. Oh I think I am going to go with the uturn and that emotiva sale on the phone preamp. Should be small and simple enough for the wife to be able to play grandmas records and gives me an excuse to purchase vinyl.
  5. Ha. I was on their official website and I simply didn't scroll down far enough to see the rest of the description. Yay .
  6. What are the measurements of the uturn?

    just confirming you guys know the price is per speaker, so you technically need to buy 2, correct?

    Glad you guys got in on the deal - I have to tell you, these things are super impressive. Great treble and midrange, tons of bass, it gets bass-i-rific in my room. And, they have the little DIP switches on back to tailor the response, you can set the bass cutoff, treble cutoff points, there is a lot of versatility in the EQ to get it just right in your room. Mine are running flat, but I could probably trim the bass if I wanted to make it linear. Nah, just kidding, I like the bass.
  9. Hi! A few weekends ago, we visited my wife's grandma's house for a final time, as she was recently admitted into a home, and they are going to have an estate sale. This was a chance for the grandkids to sort of go through and pick any momentos they wanted. I thought it would be nice to take home her grandma's old vinyl and possibly play it a bit. I am not a vinyl guy at all, nor do i see myself really getting into it. So all I am looking for is a very cheap, small space, functional vinyl rig that my wife can listen to her grandma's old records.

    Secret emotiva warehouse sale Stealth 6 factory renewed for $330 each! That is a KILLER price (I got mine for the full brand new retail )
  11. This uke is the real deal. As a classically-trained instrumentalist (violin) and vocalist, the instrument is darn perfect. The intonation literally is perfect all the way up the fretboard, and the tone is so darn consistent throughout the range. Great dynamics too, it plays very soft without losing its tone, but you can really drive it home without it breaking up. This is a tenor, curly myrtle back and sides, by Mya-Moe.
  12. LOL. Believe it or not, that was my first ever YouTube recorded and posted. In fact, the YouTube capture app warned me, "you sure you want to do portait? It is not going to look good," and I still ignored it. I am actually serious, the app warned me portrait would me it look like shit.

  14. New uke day! Ukes are like the step children of guitars, yes?
  15. Lol. Heartfelt says the same thing.
  16. The heartfelt beads are two way, like boveda.
  17. The heartfelt beads work perfectly. It's such a stupidly simple concept that just makes total sense. Basically the beads are impregnated with a certain salt solution that emits a certain RH. The humidipak is essentially the same thing. One of the more weird options that works as well are kitty litter beads.
  18. I use something similar for my ukes. I found the cigar world has many products that basically keep RH dead on at 50% RH. I use tubes filled with humidity beads from heartfelt industries. There are tons of DIY options as well. I have 30 solid ukes in my classroom and over long breaks I put them in plastic bins with a container of water storing crystals I bought from Home Depot and those work well.
  19. I would just like to add how much respect I have for these canst do sennheiser as a company. A friendly headfier sent me a set to borrow and every little detail about the product is awesome. Packaging, instructions, box, all very professional. I forgot how nice quality the stock cable is, very practical and usable though. Great fit, very light weight, and regardless of your tonal bias or preferences, this is a great sounding headphone and handles all the technical aspects wonderfully. And it doesn't look too alien sitting in your head either. Oh and the headband mechanism totally passes the big head egg shaped test.
  20. Yeah I love abalone. It's blingy but in a subtle, not ray Samuels kind of way.
  21. On the covered bridge (the darker one with the black binding), the inlay ("rosette") is abalone. On the mya moe (the fancy one), it is a wooden rosette of walnut.
  22. You should check out my mya moe - makes my covered bridge look "homely" in comparison:
  23. It has been the same with us for the past 7 years! This is truly the first time we have a distinct area for the kids, and that area is for the audio/video side.
  24. My wife and I completely rearranged our family room area where the setup is, and we were actually able to integrate the speakers and tv together. I've got the oppo feeding the Doug DAC feeding the Dsha 0 feeding the First time I've ever had something that resembled an actual listening space. We watched a few blurays, some netflix, and now on to some football, and the stealths can definitely serve as HT mains. Huge dynamic swings, never breaks a sweat when asked to push, and that bass though.
  25. Well, my first custom is ready to be shipped! Should land next week. And I grabbed a mya moe myrtle tenor that popped up for sale new from mya moe! https://www.myamoeukuleles.com/uketracker.php?trackingNumber=1258
