For forever i would buy computer speaker sets and hook them up to my TV and that's ok, but more recently started getting into powered studio monitors and have no clue why people waste money on anything else, not even expensive and sound divine.

Same reason you didn't buy monitors sooner.

Which computer sets did you have and what monitors do you have now?

The computer speakers were all logitech brand, the monitors are Mackie 6'' ones, I think they have a new version now:
https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-MR6mk3-6-Inch-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00EA1W1M0

Thinking about getting a sub to go along with the monitors but those are quite a bit more and the speakers already have a ton of bass.

Were the Logitech’s the THX certified sets? If not, I can totally understand why the difference would have been night and day.

I agree, it's great value and great sound. No need for a receiver or anything. Also on sale fairly often.

I bought a refurbished Logitech 5.1 Z680 setup for my pc in like 2003 or something and only recently the headphone jack is finicky but still fine. My home theater setup I bought all NHT's in 2001 and still going strong. Spend the money on a good setup and you won't have to upgrade for a long long time.

Nice ultrathin JLC buddy :):respek::)




It's amazing how pictures don't do watches of these prices justice. When you have the watch in front of you every little detail seems exquisitely polished, and new colors are even appearing. The sunburst dial alternates between silver and champagne colored. I love the design of the master collection, I think more brands should have similar simple, classic and elegant designs. I find the huge diver watches ugly.

I bought a brown replacement strap for it and it makes the watch look even better.



My recent purchase: I bought a hardware sequencer

Good choice! I need to find nice replacement straps I don’t want to pay £400 for jlc croc ones. Ideal world I’d like a brown croc and an orange croc to spice it up now and again :) or maybe khaki.

supposedly the JLC straps come from this artisan so you can get same quality but more choice and cheaper :)

Crazy repect crazy.

I've bought far too many poly dice over the years, including metal and semi precious stone. I've supported a Kickstarter and got one of every color it produced. But I've never gone so far as to have custom dice made. I'm impressed.

There's no such thing as too many dice. I think I have a good 8 "sets" in pouches and then a cubic foot vase filled to the brim. Actively have to stop myself from gathering more because I only run 1 game IRL already and they're mostly just pretty.

Where did you get those customs made? I am working on a new campaign I'm going to do as serialized one shots that could use a few special d20s to make it a little more exciting than just looking for the 20's and 1's.

what up brake buddy. I just got these to do my brakes. It has been like 20 years since I have done a brake job.

Also I used to get Bendix brakes for free, this is the first time I have ever paid for brakes.

I'll be seeing it boringly sober, I'm afraid.
