But with $40 off the Costco price, that should about pay for a year's membership, and you're still getting the Costco price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power bank and wireless charger probably put you over $20 easy. I started using wireless chargers in hopes to avoiding replacing cables when manufacturers switch charging ports.

GA Russell Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 As you may have noticed, I have not been seeing deals on stereo components this Christmas. I wonder why. Does no one have a stereo system anymore? However, today I see two bargains for you late shoppers which are sure to please and amuse. 1) a firelog which smells like Col. Sanders' eleven herbs and spices - $9.88 (51% off) https://www.walmart.com/ip/KFC-Limited-Edition-11-Herbs-Spices-Firelog-by-Enviro-Log/280532214 2) a waffle iron whose waffles resemble legos with which you can construct buildings, etc. - $39.99 (33% off) https://sellout.woot.com/offers/cucinapro-cucinapro-building-brick-electric-waffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many minutes does 128 translate to? Depends on the bit rate (compression level) of the file. Typically, an mp3 file with a bit rate of 128 kbps (kilo bytes per second) will take up 60 megabytes per hour of music. Higher bit rates (less compression) will take more space.

It is, but not this generation, which was discontinued in 2015. These are refurbished units that can be upgraded to iOS 9, but cannot run later versions (iOS 13 came out last fall).

mikeweil Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I have been listening to dozens of tracks from as many CDs to test my new bedroom system since it arrived last Saturday - too many to list them. That small Micromega MyAmp system passes the test effortlessly. Anybody looking for a cheap amp that sounds like a much larger and more expensive amp should consider it. The matching headphone amp is on its way to me. The amp can process signals from network via cable or bluetooth just as well, and they sound great, too. https://micromega.com/en/products/my-range/ Edited May 2, 2021 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
