Peachtree amp500 Amplifier Review

[DonR]

Glory Hallelujah!!! I'm not the only one here who finds 'very unique' really irritating.

Just like 'One of the only'.......


S.

Rather unique and highly unique.

 

[Vive la dissonance!]

Losing precision of language usage has a direct consequence, the diminishment of expressivity.

An attractive amp, though: I voted great, because the faults, such as they are, lie outside the human audible range.

I went grocery shopping just as the cold snap started and as I was carrying the 2 med weight bags home when I had a slight asthma attack. Wheezing and whistling lungs from the extreme cold. I was more than a bit concerned. I've had one near death asthma attack in my life and that was enough to scare the daylights out of me. That was from bathroom cleaning products that mixed a bit, created some nasty gas that I inhaled and after I was blue and gray colored and could not get off the couch to make a telephone call for help because I was so weak. I have the clothing to go out in these extreme cold temps but I'm not going to. I ordered-in groceries from Walmart and have lotsa food and stuff so I'm waiting this Arctic air out till warmer days arrive in a few days. I love skating. If I had somewhere outdoors to go skating I would be on that like white on rice. Like a canal would be awesome.

I'm sorry to hear you have such a serious condition. I wasn't trying to imply anything by my comment ( other than I'm a bit "eccentric"). My apologies.

My father used to go winter camping in the Boundary Waters - way out in the woods many miles from any sort of civilization, Nordic skiing, camping and the whole shebang for a week or two.
Pile up snow and dig out a sleeping space in the mound.
He slept outside when it was -40f/ which is also -40c , actual temps not wind factor.
Crazy.
He took me out in a tent one cold night for some easier cold winter camping at a park. it was -20f/-29c that night. His gear was so good I woke up dripping in sweat, literally covered in it and I am normally cold when I sleep.

O' no worries mate. My asthma condition is considered mild compared to those that have it full blown.

I used to do winter camping in British Columbia with the Boy Scouts. We would camp out for 3 days @ about 3000'+ elevation in some pretty cold conditions in nylon summer tents. If it snowed (Like a foot or three.) we would wake up with the tent(s) partially or completely collapsed over our bodies... lol. The fire pit after a 3 day camp was usually about 6 feet deep from the snow pack. I would never camp out like that unless I had something in mind and at the time it was a requirement for the Chief Scout Award. Otherwise I prefer my warm comfy bed with central heating. I've also camped out in winter in a dilapidated old cabin that had a fireplace and we had that fire raging allll night long.

Seems like you could do a lot better with other Class D offerings at the same price, or very close. I wouldn’t buy it.

I was thinking the same thing.

I have stood for hours at -40f taking wildlife pictures. Last time it was in Hokkaido Japan. It was so cold that I had icicles formed on my camera LCD from moisture in my breath!!! Got me shots like this though:

Had to get up hours before sunrise to be there.

 

[amirm]

I forget who asked but yes, I will add power off noise to the same measurement.

Wow... That is not only a wonderful shot but a brave bird...lol. I had no idea the cranes (If that is a crane?) can winter over in harsh climates. I have only seen cranes in the West of North America in all seasons but not in the prairies in any season. I'm pretty sure I would not wake up before dawn, brave -40F(-40C) temperature and stand for hours without a electric heater. I can ski and snowmobile under slightly less extreme terms though.

At -40, F or C doesn't matter.

Yes, that's the scary part of it. It simply does not matter at that temp you're gonna freeze your azz off...lol.

Worth it: great image of the national symbol. Also, Hokkaido in winter, impressive.

I only ever think of temperature in Réaumur so I am glad he specified the units.

(This is of course a massive lie, just been looking up temperature scales and that was the only other unit that could have had -40 and not been the same as -40 C or F as I know you know)

I dunno about that I'm sitting here as snug as a bug in a rug with -41C temps outside right now.

THOSE POOR BIRDS!!! What a way to die... freezing to death... I have been in -60C (in the wind)when I was at CFB Cold Lake. My fingertips got frostbitten even though I had gloves on.

THOSE POOR BIRDS!!! What a way to die... freezing to death... I have been in -60C (in the wind)when I was at CFB Cold Lake. My fingertips got frostbitten even though I had gloves on.

I've endured gale force winds with very cold temps atop a 8500 foot mountain during a whiteout. I finally took a gamble and decided to ski down regardless of the possibility of skiing into a tree, rock or off a ledge. I eventually made it downhill a short skiing distance and was in the lee of the mountain and was able to ski out. My hands where frostbitten upon making it to the lodge and being a dumb 8 year old I immersed my hands under water and gradually increased the water temp and then it hit me... Pain! The water was not even that warm and I was in agony for 45 minutes after. Don't immerse frostbitten fingers in warm water.... sigh* I've heard about CFB Cold Lake and have a understanding of how cold it gets there and reports are that it is pretty darn cold! Lol. At present I have the blinds closed, they have been for days and am hunkering down this Arctic air mass we are enduring. I'll pop my head out on Saturday when it warms to -15C.

S.

The word 'unique' in informal speech means also 'not typical or unusual', and so 'very unique' makes sense.
