Vince Goodrum's "Fuck That Shit, I Got A Better Idea" Threads

[Vince B]

It takes 20 minutes now to get to work....I don't think an extra 10 minutes is going to hurt.  You are truly stupid

The fact that you keep posting so much of your personal info on Getbig demonstrates how mentally challenged you really are.

When taking the effort to maintain the deck every 2 years ( repaint it) it can last a long time.

Hopefully, the builder will use clear pine. Knots can be a problem.

It amazes me that people don't comprehend that Goodrum posted here to show how smart he is. No one else saves like he does.

Therefore he doesn't listen to advices and seldom changes his mind.  Except 6 months later when he claims it was his idea.

I've been reading this thread for the last hour or so and it has provided me with a lot of lolz.  Some really funny shit being said.

Tell me if you guys like my idea for home ownership.  I'm going to buy a big house in Detroit for $1500 cash.  I'd install the best alarm system, the best cameras, I'd bar the windows, I'd install on of those cages inside the house like the movie "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.  I'd walk around my house with a kevlar vest on and have an AR-15 at arms reach wherever I went.  I'll work from home and shop on Amazon so I never have to go out.  I'd have zero expenses other than food, and internet.  I'd put every cent of my income in investments.  I won't leave the house until I'm a multi-millionaire at which time I'd hire some former Navy Seals to come and safely extract me.  lol.

JK, I already have a house.  If I was in my early 20's this is what I would do though, hahaha.

Your libido would soon win out over that ingenious plan!

I'd have an unlimited supply of free internet porn.

I'm willing to give up women for a while.  Once you are rich the quality of ass you get improves.  No problem.

Plus.....sex robots.

I have a friend selling the Bose Soundtouch 20 for $70 dollars because they are moving back to Italy wish I had known you were in the market. I have the smaller bose for bed side to make cool rain noises so I didn't buy it. But yeah.. a LOT of things beat the clarity and sound of a Bose system

This. Bose sucks. Nothing more than marketing gimmick. I had the top of the line 901's.   Sold those and run Altec Voice of the Theater A5's with a McIntosh preamp. No comparison.

If you want small speakers get some Audioengine or Vanatoo's or something.

I don't know that Bose sucks. I do think for the money you can put together a much better system than what you get with money Bose wants if you want to go that route. The 901's as I recall rocked the house and required a separate amp to run. Some night clubs would use them back in the day.

Bose are awesome and even better when you get a huge employee discount....something I don't get with Audioengine or Vanatoo.

how long have you worked for Bose?

[IRON CROSS]

How much do you get paid for insulting me? What a pathetic patsy you are.

No

Ok, tell me what's wrong with Bose

[Primemuscle]

The BOSE headphones I bought for watching the TV are pretty cool with excellent sound quality.

Bose are kinda known by the audiophile community for not being high quality. From headphones to car audio systems to home audio systems, they kinda are low to low-mid grade.

Bose bluetooth ear buds are very good. I've tried several different kinds. In the ratings I checked prior to purchase they were rated high.

I agree that many audiophiles hate Bose. Some of the hate is probably unwarranted. Having said that, for the money you spend on a Bose system, in my opinion, you will get much better bang for your buck if you spend the time to buy individual components. A lot of people just like the convenience of the Bose system, the small foot print and there are some that like the Bose brand. I've had the Acoustimass 15 for probably 10 years now and they have survived some pretty loud parties and several moves. I also have an Onkyo HTIB system that cost about $300 that rocks the movies in the bedroom. In another room I have a Vizio soundbar surround system with woofer. Works great for that room.
But when Vince declares they are awesome, they probably are for him.

Generally, they are overhyped and overpriced for the sound you get. But they aren't bad

[Vince B]

LOL at all the discussion about a low end hifi. What most people do is buy a decent home theatre to go with the large screen TV. That solves the hifi issue for the home. You play your music through it.

Naturally it will cost more but Goodrum will sniff out the bargains.

About Bose. They started out in the sixties and built up hype through various systems that were different. Amar Bose insisted that if you couldn't hear the difference then why pay for so called higher fidelity equipment.

Over the decades his company has built up a reputation for providing good listening systems from walkaround to home systems. I don't think they are the cheapest but, like Apple, you pay for the brand.

Naturally Goodrum opts for the cheapest bluetooth system. There is a 20 and 30 wireless unit as well but are much more expensive. One thing even the best don't have is tone controls. You can't add more bass or treble so have to accept

what Bose considers the right sound. Goodrum can tell his visitors he has Bose so will feel proud of that.

I bought them because I get a huge employee discount on them....70 bucks off total.  Only paid 129.00 for them.

He's going to be living in a mobile home and paying a ridiculously high interest rate so "low grade" is par for the course
