Eversolo Play CD Edition with DALI Opticon 2 MK2

About a month and a half in with this setup and absolutely loving it. First HiFi setup and I’m happy I jumped into the pool, let’s see if I end up under water.

Trust “VVallet” Scam E-Mail

Got a phishing email from trust wallet with a link to an app.trustvvallet link asking for a seed phrase.

I’m not into crypto but figured I’d give a heads up. I’m sure I’m not the first or only one to get this.

Anyone have an empty they’re only chasing safety cd case they’d sell?

My brother hooked me up with his old copy but we don’t have the case? Any chance there is an empty one somewhere out there? Couldn’t find one on eBay

Did anyone else get an email from BLR that TTN (CD) was back in stock this morning?

By the time I clicked a minute later it was sold out, so if it was real it wasn’t many copies.

Scoops today, pretty hyped.

The SACD version of Transatlanticism has a little crack on the front of the jewel case, but I got a pretty good deal on it. The EU 30th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust is absolutely mint, and being my moms favorite album, this record means so much to me. Excited to have this cool ass version of it.

Little scoop today. After seeing AG in Lancaster on Sunday I am ever more hyped for 9/15.

Crazy too I grabbed this on eBay and it ended up being my local record store so that made picking it up easy. Kinda annoying they’re using eBay to resell stuff instead of putting it on the shelf, but I get it. Their general customer base would be shocked seeing this in the bins at $40.

Lancaster performance was amazing. I remember reading some posts when the reunion shows were announced about Anthony’s voice that were far from positive, but he sounded incredible.

Stay safe between now and the 15th yall! See you soon!

Am I biased or was Lancaster absolutely amazing?

I wasn’t at any other shows this tour but is there anyone that was and can they tell me if I’m insane or was that everything it possibly could have been.

Is AG cool with signing Saosin Merch?

I’m gonna be in Lancaster super early, making a day out of it. I’ve got a room right across from the venue and the two-hour drive back to Philly after doesn’t tickle my fancy.

I’m thinking of bringing my 2003 original copy of translating the name and having it in my bag incase I see him out and about before the show. Do yall think he’d be cool with signing it?

First Stereo setup opinions / advice

Hi y’all,

I’m looking at putting together a stereo primarily for listening to CDs, but would also want streaming to be high quality.

I have a connect that’s able to help me with with a discount on components and I have a budget I’m trying to stay under for amp and speakers, so with that considered I’m thinking about a CXA81 Mk1 and a set of Dali Opticon 2 Mk2. The budget is about $1500 but I’m able to get about 50% off equipment.

Anyone run this combo? Have any insight? I have a Sony Blu-Ray player with optical out I planned on using as a CD Player, and I’m wondering if the CXA81 is solid enough for streaming or if I should plan to get another device like a WiiM Pro for streaming at high quality.

I appreciate any insight, I don’t have a ton of experience with audio equipment at this price point so excited to get a nicer than a soundbar setup at home for myself.

A UTX-85 that needs some love and resuscitation.

I've had this knife for almost four years, and about two years ago it really needed some love, so I took it to a local guy who's Facebook and yelp had all types of great reviews. I learned my lesson. He did not have the skills to sharpen this blade and did some damage. About a year later, I was drunk as hell at a buddies house visiting for the holidays. We had talked about my knife needing to be sent back to microtech, and he had just gotten his Dad some type of belt sharpening thing, I let his dad run it through the machine knowing damn well I didn't and he didn't really know what he was doing. It definitely didn't help. I was kinda already at the point where he was trying to help and the knife profile was busted, so I was pretty much like screw it, maybe this will be a good result, lmao.

I haven't learned to sharpen knives, and haven't spent the money to purchase any equipment. So I'm looking for suggestions. Do I send it back to microtech who has said it will return "much skinnier because it needs re-profiled" or look for someone else trustworthy to do the work?

Is there someone on this subreddit who y'all trust that would want to do the work?

Looking for opinions and happy to read your best jokes about the bullshit I've put this knife through. I'm trying not to disrespect it further lmao.

Anyone else going to Lancaster and going to be in town for a bit before?

I don’t really want to drive home two hours after the show assuming I’m going to have a few drinks, so I grabbed a room right across the street. I’ll probably be in town a bit early and plan on grabbing some dinner and drinks before the show if anyone’s gonna be around and doesn’t have anything lined up.

Translating the Name CD 2023 Reissue - anyone have one available?

I’ve got the 2003 and 2026 versions, but looking to see if anyone has a copy of the 2023 Re-Issue they’d sell. If you aren’t sure which you have, I added a photo with both versions. I’m looking for the one that lists born loser records and death do us part as shown on the right.

Home Run Derby: Glove or No Glove?

I’ve been taking on a ton of extra shit for work this week because one of my peers is out on LOA and her store was closing to be remodeled. Long story short, as a reward I was given a ticket to the Home Run Derby tomorrow.

I’m a 38yr old grown adult and I haven’t taken a glove to a game in over 20yrs, but I’ve gotta take one tomorrow, right? Section 105 in the first 10 rows. Couldn’t be a more prime seat for catching a ball, especially Schwarber or Harper and I know myself well enough to know I’d be excited as all hell.

This post screams looking for approval, but really I’m just curious what you’d do. I know I’m taking mine.

Yesterday’s Mail

Hyped with both of these, but especially the Hopesfall album. One of my best friends in high school and after who has passed away had hopesfall AIM sn and this makes me think about him.

This Day Forward - In Response

Who else thinks this is an incredible album? It's probably something a good chunk of people have never heard but growing up in bucks county and going to shows at polanka park and later first unitarian church, this day forward was it for me back in high school. I loved glassjaw too but with this day forward being a local band this was my jammmmm.

Album is still damn near perfect today. I wish I would have caught the reunion shows a couple years back.

When your best local record store is AG’s local record store, sometimes you get lucky.

I’ve been hunting a copy of this lately, and hadn’t had any luck. I pulled the trigger on a BIN for an open copy on eBay yesterday morning that was priced below what it had been selling for, but still not a price I was excited to pay.

4 hours later a handful of these popped up at Siren and I was lucky enough to call in and buy one while I was at work.

Now at least I’ll be able to keep this one sealed for the collection and have the other to listen to.

Signed copy of Anthony Green - Reconcile at The Tile Works I was lucky enough to grab today.

I had already gotten one of these via born losers website but I saw Siren Records posted a small quantity of these for sale today and got lucky enough to grab one and the went over to pick it up before they closed.

This album isn’t available via streaming services. There are a few of the songs posted on YouTube, but the full recording is only available via physical media or purchase of the digital version. I love that kind of approach to releasing something, and the recording sounds amazing. This will get to stay sealed up and hang out in th crib.

Currency change in offer

I put in a ticket, but I'm more curious if this is normal.

I'm looking at a CD that's listed in ¥, and I have my default currency set to $. On the app when I submitted an offer it showed $ so I assumed it was converting my offer of $50 to ¥, but now in looking at the offer on the website, it seems like I offered ¥50 on a ¥10,000 item. Do I need to just ignore the $ sign? I don't want to accidentally submit a $10,000 offer on something in the future when I mean ¥10,000 for example
