The main thing I'm pondering now is whether they ought to go on stands or not. It would be a very tight fit to get them on stands and point them towards me outside of the width of my desk, so I'm contemplating more desk mount stands and looking at stuff like the link below ...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

I'll chime in on this...

I used to hate wearing a helmet while riding, but in NZ it's illegal to ride a bike without one. Anywhere. If you're spotted by the cops they do stop you and fine you.

So I reluctantly gave in to wearing one, and it didn't take too long until I simply wouldn't ride without ...

Re: Speaker nerdery again

Thanks Mik.

I think the overall clarity of the Logitechs that have popped is good but not great and sometimes the bass has been overbearing (though obviously there's a volume knob for that) so an increase in clarity versus a bit of a drop in bass isn't a bad thing. Seems to me looking at a lot of ...

Speaker nerdery again

Friends, you were all very helpful while trying to put together a hi-fi system from my Dad's gear, so asking for your thoughts again.

Friends, I need to buy two of these: https://www.noctua.at/en/products/nf-a20-pwm-chromax-black-swap *

*Note there's a HS, 1200rpm version, I want the normal, non-HS 800rpm version as per the link.

Helpfully the NZ imported recently stopped bringing them in. I ordered some from Amazon US who took ...
