Bought my Fluance RT-82 before the pandemic and upgraded the OM10 stylus to OM20, and now that one's wearing out.

I was thinking of an upgrade to the OM20 or a lateral move, but after some research, it seems that I may have maxed out on the quality of my Fluance RT-82. I've seen posts that do not recommend buying medium or high end cartridges since the Fluance tonearm is not that good.

If that's the case, what turntable should I upgrade to? I'm fine with either direct or belt drive. My budget would be around $600-$700

Idk why I just love that premise so much. Whether it's a tribute to Old Hollywood or a drama/comedy focusing on the movie making itself, I love them all. So far I've seen and loved:

Hail, Caesar!

Babylon

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

The Studio (TV show)

Any other recs? Also non-fiction BTS footage could work too

As a reference, we are a Mexican American family. We speak Spanish at home, but I'm afraid that the constant English will eventually lead our 2 yo toddler to not want to speak Spanish at all. Much of my family is Mexican American too and some of my cousins decided to not speak Spanish at all (idk why, maybe they thought it was uncool in their teens?), unless they are hanging out with Grandma

Our school district has Spanish classes but that doesn't start until he's 5. There are Spanish immersion schools, but they are definitely more expensive than a regular daycare, so I would like to know if the extra expense is worth it

Metallica has spoiled us with a big collection of live music recordings. However wouldn't you like to listen to Harvester of Sorrow 1991 live at Moscow alongside MOP 1989 live from Seattle?

I recently got a Schiit headphone amp stack for my WFH station. I also have a living room listening station with bookshelf speakers and a vintage Pioneer receiver for my turntable

​

My dumb question is, how would I build the same setup using Schiit products? I know I would use the Mani for phono and a Gjallarhorn or Vidar for speaker amps, but none of these have volume knobs!

Got a headphone amp setup for my WFH desktop PC. Honestly I'm getting a bit fatigued with my headphones, so I want to add some speakers. Passive speakers seem to be incompatible with my setup, but any other recs are welcome! Budget $300 a pair, but could be convinced to go higher. Thanks in advance

Fluance RT-82 -> Schiit Mani -> Schiit SYS (to add my phone) -> xDuoo TA-66 -> Sennheiser HD600

El otro día compramos barbacoa para un domingo familiar. Sobró un poco y me voy a hacer unos taquitos más tarde. Me da hueva sacar la vaporera nomás para las sobras. Es de ahuevo calentar la barbacoa en una vaporera?

I'm a mod of a small garage band that's rising in popularity. They usually do venues with 250-1000 people capacity (usually bars) and fests like Coachella and Lollapalooza. I didn't think they were that big, but there's been a rise in people asking to buy/sell tickets.

One user reported another accusing them of spam, but looking at the profile, it looked like a regular profile to me. 2 years of post history on both niche and main subs. I deleted the posting just in case, but maybe it was a genuine post? How do y'all deal with these situations?

Our baby boy (edit: 2.5 years old) used to eat relatively well. Ate chicken, salmon, ground beef, eggs, and even veggies like baby carrots and broccoli. We gave him some fruit as a side.

Nowadays he barely eats any protein anymore. He takes a couple nibbles of chicken, goes straight to the fruit and demands more once he's done eating the fruit. He still eats some carbs like pasta, bread and tortillas. The only protein he still eats consistently are eggs. He apparently eats well at daycare and finishes his food (with the exception of veggies)

My issue is that I know he likes the food. He just ate some and didn't spit it out. Sometimes we make games with it (we pretend to steal his food, so he eats it before we can steal it) and he eats it fine. Once he outright refuses it, we stop insisting, but he asks for more fruit, which tells me he's still hungry.

Do I give in and give him fruit so my child won't go to bed hungry? Or do I refuse to try to break this pattern? Any advice?

We don't want him to go to bed hungry, so we give in and give him fruit after trying multiple times to get him to eat. Any advice?

Looks like I need to replace my worn down Ortofon OM20 stylus (upgraded the original OM10). I am open to change the cartridge and try something new. Budget is around $200, but I could do more if it's worth it. Any recommendations?

We recently bought a Halloween themed book and now my toddler is obsessed with anything that's "scary" what are some toddler appropriate movies, TV shows or books that are "scary"? So far we have:

- If You Give A Mouse A Cookie Halloween edition (the one that started it all)

- It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! (At least the title segment)
