I have Sony core towers and corresponding center channel.

using this for last 9 years without much issue on a Denon x2000.

Upgraded to a Onkyo RZ30 this week and towers sound fantastic after Dirac adjustments.

Decided to upgrade to a Elac 5.2 center and reran Dirac. It didn’t work as expected, center is too quiet. I cannot hear mid ranges despite boosting the range via Dirac curve.

I had to adjust the center channel level by almost +9db to hear something sensible while streaming Hail Mary on Apple TV 4K.

I have decided to return it and stick to Sony center channel for now.

Is there a channel out there which doesnt suck?

budget is less than $500.

So I got this model from Costco last week.

tried the water boil test and I don’t see more than 5” ring forming on the pan with water.

Is this coming scamming Costco customers? Says 8” , has 5” coil. no way this can be used for 12” pans as documentation says

This is disappointing, back to Costco this week with a scathing review.

buyer beware.

Also is there a portable induction model with legit 8” coil?

thanks

Looking for a Mac Studio 2025 with M4 max. Any configuration would do but looking for base config as budget is pretty tight.

Please comment if you have one and send a PM with the offer.

Thanks,

Most modern games allow to use raw mouse input, this makes for pretty decent experience when using different mice or switch mice.

Can this be added as an option to the settings Menu?

Got a new Shafer today.

Did everything, front through axle removed.

Tried the rear one and it just free rotates on its axis and doesn't loosens up.

Tried opposite side (derailleur side) and now that derailleur hanger is loose too.

Now I cannot get the through axle out and put the derailleur hangar back in no matter what I do.

Obviously I also cannot install rear wheel because of it as through axel free rotates on its axis.

What gives? What can I do to fix this? Is this a common issue with through axle bikes?

Thanks

Hi All,

I got a 1080v12 this week for cheap and have done close to 6 miles running in these over 2 days. Fits good with ample room in front of toes, rear of shoe looks good in terms of fit too.

It just feels a little stiff though which I am guessing shall ease off by 50 miles or so.

Few things I noticed.

  1. Right back pain( a mild one) is gone but I now feel slight ache on both sides of my back, instead on right side when using my Verbablast.

  2. I feel much faster compared to el cheapo verbablast I was using.

  3. Right feet digits ( except toe and pinky) ache a tiny bit.

Is this kind of adjustment normal for human body?

Do I go through this every time I buy new shoes. ( I plan

So looks like gas pipeline to our house has a small leak.

And pge just shut down the line until we get it fixed.

Plumber quoted $6500 to dig and install a new 30 ft gas pipeline.

Does it makes sense to just replace kitchen stove and water heater to an electric one?

Will that be a better option?

If panel requires an upgrade will that be a better choice?

Location: Bay Area.

Thanks,

Hi,

So the torsion spring on our 20 year old garage door gave up this week.

Also noticed couple of metal links holding doors intact are shot.

Cost to replace spring along with the rollers is close to $1150 according to a Garage repair company.

I checked online and Home Depot is charging for a new door, opener and installation around $3000.

  1. Are homedepot installations trustworthy?

  2. What is the direct drive openers? And these better compared to belt and chain openers?

Thanks

How do I disable unlocking doors on my Model Y while car is in Drive/D mode?

When the car is stationary on a Stop sign or when I stop before I reverse, passengers often open the doors making it dangerous.

Heck even someone outside the Car can open the doors in Drive mode if Car is stationary. This is just ass backwards design unless I missed something.

Makes easy for someone to just open my doors and pull out my work laptop from rear seats or worse anyone can get hurt.

Please tell me I am a moron who doesn't know how to do this?
