KEF C35 Speakers sound muffled/clogged

hey there! I got these speakers from a friend who didnt need them anymore. I connected them to my Pioneer A209R amp, listening to CD/Vinyl. The sound of the tracks on the C35? Muffled, a bit clogged.

The speakers look almost in perfect condition. I havent opened them up yet, but from outside it looks like they've been kept clean and take care after.

any idea what might cause the issue? I tried different positions, farther away from the wall etc - Ive browsed this subreddit for similar issues. I also double checked the phases.

What are the chances of a Mamiya 6 to stop working?

I love this camera, but I havent properly shot film in a long time (2 years+). mostly use p&s camera. I still have 1-2 cameras lying around that I don’t mind because they mostly mechanical and also not that expensive im case smth happens to them

with the M6 tho… every few weeks I worry that the electronics stopped working for whatever reason and I grab it and check it. still works fine. but I‘m real afraid that it might just develop some problems because its not used at all for a long time. I dont want to lose that much money but also very reluctant to give it up and sell

is there reason to worry? or am I trippin

Caut centre culturale și locuri unde se adună tineri, artiști și oameni creativi

salutare

stau de mai mulți ani în afara româniei, dar am copilărit în bucurești. mult timp am venit doar să-mi văd familia, însă de anul ăsta am început să petrec mai mult timp prin oraș și să-l redescopăr.

unde stau eu am un cerc de prieteni cu interes pentru artă, cultură și un vibe mai alternativ, mai ales când e vorba despre politica. când vin în București am senzația că nu prea dau de genul ăsta de oameni. Sunt sigur că există, doar că nu știu unde să-i caut.

ce locuri recomandați? centre culturale, cafenele, baruri, galerii, evenimente, orice loc unde se strânge lumea

mersi!

Rammstein Raritäten Vinyl - Bootleg oder Original?

hey leute

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit diese Schallplatte geschenkt bekommen, jedoch nie angehört und denke darüber nach sie evtl. zu verkaufen. nun habe ich nach einiger Recherche gesehen, dass es oft Bootleg Versionen sind, meist erkennbar an einer weißen Schallplatte (das Original ist schwarz)

ist es irgendwie möglich herauszufinden, ob es echt oder bootleg ist, ohne die Folie abzureißen?

What sector as my third ETF pick?

hey y'all. my base ETF is VWCE and my second base is AI Infrastructure (AIFS). I’m based in Europe btw, so many ETFs mentioned on this sub aren’t available to me — hence me asking more about sectors (:

I’d like to keep these two around a 70/30 or 60/40 balance. I know AIFS overlaps with VWCE quite a bit, but I’m personally interested in AI.

Now I’m looking to add a third ETF at around 5% — something a bit riskier but still reasonable and future-relevant. I want intelligent future-oriented exposure without blowing up portfolio stability, and ideally with minimal overlap to my current positions.

A few ideas I had:

  • quantum computing (probably too much AI overlap)
  • nuclear
  • rare minerals
  • defence
  • infrastructure/utilities

Would love some reasonable suggestions(: thanks in advance!

Just got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder

and it makes so much sense its not even a surprise. for years there was always this constant feeling underneath that I am not safe, this nagging anxiety even in moments where I was happy, laughing and enjoying myself - part of me was still bracing and getting tense.

now it reached a point where I am constantly overwhelmed. it feels like burnout after coping with this stress inside of me for years and years until my body just quit.

ive tried a lot. vitamins&all that stuff related to health, meditation, somatic work, (trauma) therapy, sports, yoga, breathwork, inner child healing, CBD, ashwaganda, psilocybin microdosing, acceptance, letting go, not fighting it. nothing really helped. on the outside I grew a lot as a person - overcoming challenges, becoming more confident and successful. but on the inside it kept getting worse.

the most confusing thing was/is that my head and my body felt like they lived two separate lives. my head was optimistic, motivated, curious and wanted to experience life. but my body was always, literally always, saying no to everything. meeting friends, going for a walk, reading, concerts - no matter what, my body resisted it. I never fully felt safe for the last 6 years. my body was still stuck in old emotions and traumas, but I couldnt reach them.

I’ll visit my therapist again and talk about this diagnosis and the next steps. I just want to finally chill the fuck out. calm my nervous system that is constantly firing and sending warnings.

what actually helped you? a new form of therapy? medication? I feel like I reached a point where I tried everything I can do on my own, and now I need professional help. also just talking about it doesnt do shit anymore, Ive talked about this stuff for years and years haha. I want to enjoy things again. I am reaching my limits but also very optimistic and hopeful that things will turn out fine(:

What ETFs apart from the usual suspects (All-World, S&P500, QQQ, etc) do you swear by?

or what kind of branch?

and for the sake of discussion give a bit more insight as to why, dont just throw in "VWCE" and thats it

How much time per week do you spend trading and researching?

I just started getting into ETFs and am slowly but cautiously building a safe portfolio while not taking too many risks - I know how tempting it can be. but I still like to read through trading forums and learn some things along the way.

this makes me wonder - how much time do you spend trading? I guess if you really want to make something out of it, you have to treat it as a part time job kind of, right?

hey liebe Community! ich bin 30 Jahre jung, ansässig in Wien und neben meinem Masterstudium arbeite ich seit 6 Jahren in Cafés in Wien, Fokus auf Specialty Coffee. Ich habe sehr viel Erfahrung und bin euch sehr selbstbewusst in meinen Skills als Barista/Kellner/etc.

Nun hatte ich vor einiger Zeit ein Bewerbungsgespräch, wo ich zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben danach gefragt wurde, wieviel Geld ich verdienen möchte. Habe ich in der Gastro ehrlich gesagt nie wirklich hinterfragt. Ich war kurz verwirrt und wusste nicht, was ich sagen soll.

Ich habe leider absolut keine Vorstellung darüber, wieviel man verhandelt / verhandeln kann. 1€ mehr die Stunde? Oder sag ich direkt zB 200€ mehr im Monat als der Kollektivvertrag?

Freue mich über jeden Ratschlag :) LG

So out of instinct I bought VWCE (90% of my pie) and IUSN (10% of my pie).

Thinking it would bring more diversity and coverage. Now I am second guessing it, does it actually add any benefit? I just want to keep things simple, auto invest for 5-10 years+ and let it sit there. is it better to just go all-world?

edit: since I am looking for simplicity and basic investment I have decided to sell my small share of Small Cap ETF (was only 50€) and just focus on my VWCE, let it sit there it auto invest for 10+ years and let it do its thing (: I feel like the more ETFs I accumulate, the more stressed I get about **what if's**

thanks for all the input!
