    what do you think about swarovski nl pure vs zeiss victory sf? nl pure got more apparent field of view (also real field of view). and 8x42 vs 10x42 (do you think 8x42 is a better choice only for the sake of larger exit pupil, if other things dont matter)

    Good desktop review and thanks for having both together for comparison. I have been using the Suunto compasses (MC2G and M3G) and very happy with them apart from the 2 degree resolution. I also have the Cammenga lensatic but that also has low res at 3 degrees. I was looking at the Truarc 10 which has 1 degree res but the fact that the baseplate has only one straight side it is not ideal given it is a map baseplate compass. Have you had any restrictions due to the one only straight side. Cheers from Australia.

    I like an excellent knife. If I’m likely going to need to split a good amount of kindling, a small froe doesn’t take any more space than that knife. Fashion a handle for your froe with your excellent knife. The splitting froe has the right taper and temper for its purpose as does your excellent ,scalpel like, knife. The froe blade ,including the tapered eye, can be the length of your whole excellent knife. The fact is, if you build a knife robust enough to take the abuse of a splitting tool and pry bar, your still going to need an “excellent” scalpel like knife. I’ve been looking for that knife for months. I hold Victorinox in the highest regard. They are true masters at the craft. The grind on their meat processing knives is perfect for the task. What they accomplish in that factory is almost unimaginable. Congratulations on getting your hands on one.👍 and thanks.

    I have the previous version of these and they are optically superb. However I noticed that the focusing wheel is wobbly and imprecise which is inexcusable on these high priced binos. You won't have this problem in Japanese binos.

    Maybe I am late, but i saw 1 month old comments, so im gonna try to ask :) I have a pair of Jamo 100W rms/150W max standing speakers. I know they are not the best, but these where my first speakers as a kid 20 years ago :) I am using a sharp amp that has 2x40W power (and is at least as old as my speakers). My problem is the connectivity, but also, when i turn on 50% power and try some rock music it feels like the speaker is vibrating/distorting. I was wondering if i buy an AS-301 could it drive the speaker better? Or do I need the AS-501? Or maybe my loudspeakers are old, and they never will sound good? Electronic music with big bass sounds okay, but guitar and drum kills it. My primary use case wound be to hook it up to the TV, and see movies. Sometimes listen to music. It is not a necessity, but i thought if I have a pair of big speakers why not use them?

    Hi there. As I have it, those "ramps" in the handle are for gripping the knife "chef-style" for slicing. The thumb and forefinger nestle in there as one grips the blade. Very clever. The hex lanyard hole - This is actually rather important, especially in a survival kind of application. The ability to drill holes adds a whole dimension to camping/survival. The choice of 1/4inch is important as one can get bits in multiple sizes as well as the one that comes with the Venture system kit (20mm), which it seems you did not order. A spade bit is much lighter and less bulky than those awful Scotch augers one often sees. It's interesting to hear you think of the Falkniven as a survival knife. In my opinion a survival knife needs to be much bigger (Becker BK9, Fallkniven Modern Bowie or CS Trail Master). Your characterisation of where the Venture fits in tallies with mine (and that of Felix Immler, Mr Victorinox!). Nice review! Cheers mate.

    You should probably watch the video from start to finish, before calling it stupid. You are confused.

At the start of the video there are a list a binoculars that I discuss, you obviously skipped that part.

    Believe it or not the Tuner in the Sony STR 190 isn't bad at all. I've heard many negative reviews on it but maybe i live in a more receptive area, i'm pulling in plenty of stations crisp and clear. With that being said, i'm using the Tuner section as a stand alone component hooked up to the Yamaha A S301 so i'm getting the best of both worlds. I would have kept the Sony STR 190 as my main unit but running my 4 OHM Wharfedales made me uneasy so i upgraded to the A S301 which can handle the 4 OHM load. But you can't go wrong with either units for the price.

    Had a first version talon 44, bought Jan 2010. I did my mountain Guiding courses with it. Travelled hundreds of times with it. Skiing, alpinism, trekking, bushcrafting, dessert, roughness....really heavy duty stuff. And now, only now is starting to tear a bit. Itsthe best, lightest most comfortable baflg i ever had. Even better than my Millet Epic. Wpic is bit more padding but heavier and bunquier. The first/modified first version of talon was something unique. As i said I'm a mountain guide, and have been carrying backpacks outdoors since 1991... I don't know why they just fuck up with good perfect features. What's the purpose???? We're not fashion killers. We don't care about feature modernity shit . And still the osprey is the best in the market.

    I agree that a sub out on the Sony would be an awesome addition, but at $148 you can't complain. I use it in a 2.1 setup and as you stated, having the ability to turn toggle the subwoofer on/off with the remote is super convenient. I also find the option to adjust the bass/treble via the remote puts it over the top.

It is a youtube video meant to go over detail and comparisons of 2 very similar watches. I agree the differences are minute. Considering by the performance of the video it seems that watch enthusiasts enjoy the level of detail I discuss. So people may want to see differences side by side. It is just a hobby.

    if you can get an NL for close to the price of the Companion 8x30 I would hands down go for the NLs. NLs will be bigger. I have the Zeiss SF 8x42 as a full size and the Companion as a compact. The NL 8x32 could be both in one. Sometimes I wonder if I should have got 1 alpha 8x32 for everything.

    Can the S801 DAC be used as a substitute/replacement for a 2ch audio-interface (eg: Focusrite 2i2, Universal Audio Volt 2, etc.)… for recording into a computer (and not just for computer playback). I know it’s supposed to be used for playback/convert digital stuff into the analog/amp, like computer-usb-out into amp-usb-in. But, can the DAC’s USB also record external sources into computer? (like recording a dj mix from dj mixer outs, or recording a music-production from Mackie desktop mixer outs, etc.)

    These can be modded to vastly improve the sound. I found the tweeter to be too harsh and swapped them out in favor of Tympani soft dome types. I swapped the factory butterfield cross-overs for a pair from Infinity two-way speakers and don't use the midrange drivers except to simply plug the holes. I also converted the cabinet to bass reflex by adding two port tubes to each cabinet front. Very small tubes perhaps a little over one inch. I also added acoustic batting inside to smooth bass and absorb hollow box resonance. A lot of mods but in the end they sound decent and far more enjoyable. A 3-way crossover such as a Infinity Reference 5 could also be used and keep the midrange operating but I think I would in that case add a L-pad on the mid to tone it down. One oddity with these from the factory is the mids are wired reverse polarity.
