Took about three hours to refinish the existing weird old house mailbox with a modern model. Tried to use the existing post, though it was super crooked so I might end up ripping it all off anyway.
Before
After
I absolutely suck at carpentry and have none of the right tools.
I got through the full Dirac setup and splurged for the full frequency range correction to let me correct above 500Hz. The system sounds fucking amazing. It's like an audio scapel! I can pull the entire image apart and hear everything. It sounds as good as anything I have ever heard. I need to build a filter with the few dB roll off rather than dead flat.
I had to cut out the back of my rack to get it to fit but it does fit now.
The BluOS features have also made my Squeezebox Touch obsolete.
Got sick of cords all over the place.
DIY'ed a charging drawer using a cheap conference room table fixture from Amazon. Much cheaper than the commercial products that run around the $300 mark.
