Knobs are easy to source and replace yourself. I prefer tapered knobs, so I spent $7 and got a nice machined all aluminum on for my Asgard3.

What is that Sony? It suits.

Looks like a BDP-BX370.

Tyr and the Yiggy are both live changers. All of my old CD sound new again, I am hearing stuff I never heard.

Agreed, with a slight variation of Aegir and a recently received Yggy LiM in my case. Long time lurker and a second post with this one.

You need a real red.......

I'm not a big fan of red, but if I had to choose one it would be something like this.

Blue isn't my favorite either (probably closer to 3rd) but it was the only color I really liked when I purchased my vehicles.

A/V design by interior designers is what led to video screens above fire places, in-wall speakers, and "lifestyle" systems. I say never let an interior designer near your A/V setup if what you want is function over form.

I'm not talking about having the interior designers overrule function (i.e, not form over function). Once function is set, however, there is plenty of room for aesthetic considerations.

Or large, concave video screens.

How were those ever supposed to work for more than 1 viewer?

Kind of like Coalinga Gray.

Coalinga is the location of the N California aerobatic competition.

Can the LISST not be used in the Noval version because the new LISST will be more specific to replace 61NP?

Does that mean if we still have the old LISST it could be used in the Noval version?

Must add a blue car to the mix

I'll throw my hat in the ring with "Tiefseeblau"

Reminds of Volvo’s old Polestars:


Would love to own one, but it really doesn’t make sense for me to buy other than EVs in the future. Maybe a C40 Recharge when they start showing up on the used market..

Got my electric XC40 in that blue

I finally got to see it in person on Monday and it looks SWEET!

Nope. It keeps it from being a monolithic black slab. And, with the new matte finish knobs and buttons, I think it looks really good.

And if you search the past six months or so of this thread for "knob" you get two or three versions of Knobs 'R Us from your friendly Schiitizens.

And funny you brought up cars… You've seen my car. It took me close to four months to hunt down this particular model, trim level, and color. Because going with anything else would have bothered me too much.

A friend of mine just took delivery of a new truck he ordered six months ago. Ford delivered the wrong truck. And wrong in some pretty big ways, like 4WD when he doesn't want that. He's seriously considering keeping it because he doesn't want to wait another six months. It's really pitiful we've been reduced to things like this.

Of course the frigging grain varies, that's why one buys wooden things....

But the last two generations have grown up with MDF and LDL... And then there's NC and the card board trees...

My current Volvo had been driven over 150k km when I bought it (barely driven in by Finnish standards, or should I say burned-in…) and I haven’t spent over 500€ for any repair or maintenance I’ve had done for it. Newer Volvos might be more expensive to get fixed, though. That’s why I stay far away from German cars, too. Suberb cars, but expensive to maintain.

Mrs. macdonjh likes to think about a German or Austrian brand for her next car. I told her she'd have to seriously consider changing from buying to leasing in that case.

+1 Mazda currently has the best red. Toyota/ Lexus has the best pearl white. Nissan used to have the best black, but not so much any more. I'm not a big fan of the lacquer finish gray showing up on so many cars. The blue like our host's C8 is cool, but I wish automakers would offer more colors. Hell, there's no inventory anymore anyway, so they don't have to worry about a certain color sitting around on a lot. Just paint to order from a selection of colors. Like Mr. Ford used to do, except, you know, with choices.

Started a new job last year. One perk was a company car. I could have any color I wanted as long as it was Blue.

Nice...I see you're a Chevy Guy

Well, you know what they say!

I thought so too but then my son traded in his Chevy for a Ford F150. I own a 2011 Mustang and a 2018 Ram with the small diesel engine. Since I am such a sensitive toad, I refer to the Ram as the "EmoDiesel".

ORT

Only if it uses KT-150 tubes. 6L6's and EL-34's sound more like a Honda Civic with a fart muffler.

Lisa and I both hate colorful cars (LOL, riiiight).



So yeah, I get it.

I also like silver (on our products).

But we also need to make something that's reliably producible. Something even Apple is learning with the new Midnight-colored Airs: https://9to5mac.com/2022/07/19/midnight-macbook-air-easily-scratches/ -- full disclaimer, the same thing happened on my black Surface Pro.

Wow, I like both cars but the 'stang is way cool, for my money I am kind of old school not into rented heated seats, etc. I DO enjoy a blue vehicle, since 1989. My first major purchase out of university and have not regretted it, still runs strong to date.
