I don't think you can go wrong with either Acoustic Zen Adagios and PSB Synchrony One if you find a used pair.. also monitor audio silver 500 7g is stereophile recommended "A" for 2022 @ $3200/pr. they have some great cabinet and xover tech in those things. They are on my list as well

more tandoori chicken, this time with a super spicy curry sauce w. himalayan chiles. Side of stir fried broccoli & baby bellas

I didn't. got on my knees and lookin thru the viewfinder like a madman. the angle was also terrible but i didnt feel like driving to a better point. If i had a telephoto lens on my nikon 1 v3 I couldve easily set up a nice automated time lapse. the mirrorless has a lot more success in low light...

really hope someone one ups me, I could not get a good shot once the eclipse happened for my life. Also non-weighted tripods are trash. All shot D3300 + 70-300mm AF-P DSC_0755 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0771 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0800 (1) by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0823 by...

I was never impressed with the AF-S 55-200mm, this one is leagues ahead. wicked fast AF and not bulky at all. great portraits @ 70mm too.. @ 185mm DSC_0474 by rick houston, on Flickr @ 260mm DSC_0478 by rick houston, on Flickr @ 125mm DSC_0558 by rick houston, on Flickr @ 300mm DSC_0567...

Very nice, I need to get a NDF filter for similar shots. Went to some local nature preserves experimenting with my 70-300mm af-p dx DSC_0310 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0547 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0406 (2) by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0618 (1) by rick houston, on Flickr...

subaru n/a engine head gaskets are notoriously garbage. most start leaking after 100-120k. If it's a fresh rebuild I hope the heads were machined and they used a new head gasket. glad to hear it was the rad cap. A friend of mine with a 04 forester using the EJ251 N/A motor used STi...

Most of the hafler amp topology is very similar within the same line. I'm assuming my 9505 is basically a larger version of the 9180 linked. I don't know enough about circuit design in this explicit example to tell you for sure but I would pick it up unless your speakers are extremely...

My P4000 and 9505 are still more detailed than many different amps I've used/auditioned in my systems. The "MOSFET" amps get the rep of being warm and less resolving, and this may be true for other amps but I've never found both my P4000 or 9505 to be accurate in their presentation. Also FWIW...

used 3.7+ maggies + stereo subs is a great suggestion, but will be harder to dial in than conventional dynamic speakers also suggest used legacy aeris Revel F228Be monitor audio Platinum PL300 II Canton Reference 7K psb synchrony t600 NHT 3.3 (basically impossible to find used but worth...

sorry to ruin the surprise but those were polk RTi A5 in the back of my subie 2 posts up.. They sounded great but needed more room than allotted in my current space, and they are clearly not taking over the 3.3s when they are reinstalled, so I sold to a friend. honestly phenomenal speakers with...

having fun... road trips mean thrift stores & craigslist searching late at night lol got some nice stands with adjustable height to give me a +/- 1inch distance from tweeter , a lil more room treatments. also grabbed a nice lil power amp otw back to LI. seems to be a mid 90s VSP labs trans mos...

after a job interview went to a local preserve/beach. got some cool shots of mute swan gaggle DSC_0082 (1) by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0051 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0047 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0918 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0954 by rick houston, on Flickr DSC_0178v2...
