Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Win1300: Based on the commentary I’m probably preaching to the choir but a nice sound system needs great source material. Too much of what is produced today is mixed to sound good on crappy AirPods and the like. So boosted frequencies - so much so that they are cut off. I have a decent 5.1 surround and a Sony SACD and DVD audio set up. I bought a bunch of stuff when it first came out and look forward to stuff remastered for that format- Pink Floyd wish you were here is an an example. I have pretty eclectic taste in music so you’ll find 5.1 versions of Hiromi, Norah Jones, Metallica, The Who. the Flaming Lips, Clapton, Insane Clown Posse and more on my shelf. If you are looking for very well done remasters check out anything from Mobile Fidelity. I unknowingly - at the time - bought Pink Floyd’s Meddle when they released it in the early 90’s - for a two channel mix it is quite immersive. My got to source on best versions of source material is the Steve Hoffman forums. I stay away these days because I’d rather spend my money on other stuff.

That is certainly true, like feeding quality ammo through a firearm, to get the best from any sound system you need to feed it high quality recordings. I'm familiar with the Steve Hoffman forums. For the best two channel recordings done with binaural microphones look up albums from Chesky Records, or any binaural recordings. They can be incredibly realistic for two channel if your system is set up right. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RSG: For years I have used 3M P-95s when I have a need for various dirty work tasks. But since those are unobtanium since late January, I have to take care of the few I have left and use them till they are literally worn out. Recently was able to order some U-Line branded N-95s with valves on them to keep me going. Overpriced and when they arrived I was disappointed to see that they are made in China (or course).   Yup, the boxes of N95's I have at work are all made in China. Weird how they create the virus, and then sell us masks...that's a monopoly! Where the fuck is Teddy Roosevelt! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Freakinout: I own land in NM too Don't have a picture of it handy, but my farm has a similar spot. Hill >>> valley >>> Hill which is great to stand on the one hill, shoot across the valley into the other hill. It's only 50 yds from my backdoor, lol. That's the best part.  This was out my den window. Then I also have a good sized pond with a decent dam that is 10-12 ft wide,making the toe of the dam 30 ft thick. There's an open field behind it giving me about 150-175 yds of shooting distance depending on where you stand. I put hay bales in front of the dam, set up targets and use the dam as a backstop (primarily use it for pistols though). |

Just went looking for property near me for shits and giggles...cheapest thing was 59 acers for 54k. Price is good but it is the top of a ridge along the entire like 3 miles except for the one little flat spot they used for the picture...
. everything else over 45 acers was 150k and up. I hate to say but my range membership is less than the taxes I would pay much less the actual property....

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By djohn: According to 3M, the 9205+ Aura is Made in the USA. Unfortunately, it's an N- mask (not a P- mask), so NOT rated for oily aerosols (ahem, "spicy air"). For dirty work tasks (sanding, painting, and ding repair on surfboards  ), I'm still relying on the bulkier but more effective 3M half-face respirators. 7093 P1OO filters are readily available from domestic sellers on eBay, and even the 6035 medical filters seem to be available from international sellers. Hard shell filters last a lot longer for me than N95 masks (so more cost effective), and the respirators provide a more reliable face seal, but YMMV. I miss being able to casually stock up on basic masks and gloves at Home Depot. Exactly! I will look into that 9205 Aura. The one I always used is the 3M 8577. The P rating wasn't important in my case, just found that it was very good for my purposes with a good seal and fairly durable. At this point I'm wondering if those will ever be available again. |
