That voice in Jysk ads just goes through me. It's really high in the mix and sounds "sharp" or something. And the overly enthusiastic delivery too. Brutal stuff.

I'd probably be wracked with guilt for quite a while, but I'd eventually get over it, with the pangs only needling me on anniversaries.
Eventually I'd stop blaming myself and remember the good times.
Would probably still listen to Misotheist.

Managed to hold off listening to it until I received the physical version(s) and had my first listen yesterday evening.
All the praise I've seen so far seems wholly deserved. It's a very ambitious piece and it fucking delivers in spades. Despite the non-metal elements, nothing seems out of place.
Production is sublime and Riedl's vocals sound immense.

I like them quite a bit anyway. Saw them live twice and they were bloody brilliant.
Give 'em a go shur. What's the absolute worst that could happen?

Quote from: Eoin McLove on October 10, 2024, 09:22:57 PMMan this new album is good. It's a total riff-fest. The new drummer blends in seamlessly as well.

Found out yesterday that the drummer is Misotheist's vocalist's dad!
And yeah, class album. Still getting plenty of play here.

In the gym, working with a cable machine and a bar. Obviously using both of them.
Have the cable machine attachment and weight plates set up for the particular exercise I'm doing.
Finish a set on that and start using the bar, which I've placed right beside the cable machine.
Some cunt comes over and sets up the cable machine, changing the attachments and weights for a set he suddenly wants to do.
Does his set and fucks off leaving me to reset the cable machine for myself.
Didn't ask. Didn't even acknowledge me.
And we're the only 2 people in the gym. There are plenty of other things he could have used.

Can't get my head around that sort of entitlement.
I'd always make a point of asking someone if I could use something if I thought they were going to continue with it.

Brighter mornings when I'm leaving for work. About bloody time.
Going to and coming from work in the dark takes it out of you after a while.
I have a mate in Svalbard and she wouldn't have seen daylight since the end of October :-X

Lad at work walking around whistling tunes like his life depends on it. Can hear him approaching from miles away.
Drives me fucking demented.

Quote from: The Heretic on January 28, 2024, 04:11:39 PMThanks very much, that's great information, the 4ft cables wouldn't be an issue for me really as its for a small office type space so should be ok! Cheers!!

No worries! Let us know what you go with.

Quote from: The Heretic on January 28, 2024, 12:58:00 PMThank you, that looks like a nice piece of kit! Ive been looking at separates as well and just got lost with all the options plus it always ended up pricey and space is a consideration. Would you say there's enough power to "feel some oomph" from the music (totally subjective I know) rather than just high volume?

Yeah It's a minefield alright. I was looking at the Marantz MCR612 (pricey!) and the Denon D-M41 (no USB) as they both had built in amps. I wasn't prepared to start down the separate amp route. If I was, I'd need to hear them before deciding. Fuck blind buying at those prices.

As for my Panasonic, I have no regrets! Plenty of heft and clarity. No subwoofer port, if that's an issue for you. Bass is absolutely fine on this though. Listening to the last Reveal album right now and it sounds great.
Something else worth mentioning is that the speaker cables that come with it are a bit on the short side. Maybe 4ft each? Not an issue for me with my setup here, but it may be for you.
