I've used beard oil before, but I'm convinced that it wont be a special or specific oil just for beards and must surely be made up of a carrier oil such as Jojoba or grapeseed, and then with some fragrant or essential oils added. I already have Jojoba oil (which can be purchased reasonably cheaply on ebay etc) and essential oils in the house and so mix my own.
Castrol 😳
 
I started building up my 4K collection in the past year and change. I used to buy DVDs and blurays and then stopped for a long time, just buying digital every now and then. These are my most recent pick ups, kid couldn't wait and immediately opened her Wicked movie haha

I'd avoid grape seed if you make your own. The shelf life kills the blend. If you do use it, add meadowfoam seed oil to offset that to some degree. Personally. I love ostrich/emu oil blended in. Softens the beard like crazy.

Thanks for posting just what I need for my Paradigm setup, that I never bothered to get. Prices/quality of subs have really gotten better last few years. The other subwoofer should really augment your desktop setup it does my Kanto Ori setup.

Yes, I am enjoying them both very much. I wanted to get the matching sub for the Monitor Audio Bronze 50 speakers in my living room, but its almost $1,000: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_893B6GW10G/Monitor-Audio-Bronze-W10-Urban-Grey.html Not to mention, my amp only has speaker wire outputs so it wouldn't work with the W10s having only RCA inputs. I'm not getting a whole new amp for that.

I have a general understanding of specs, I know it isn't everything - but I still can't justify exactly what I'm paying twice as much here for that other subs, such as the RSL, can't do for nearly half the price.

Yes compared to REL, Sonus, and Monitor Audio, or even the budget Paradigm Defiance, RSl has out spec’ed them all, and it’s a class D amp sub to boot. I was not familiar with them.

Helpful review

This was my previous desk setup squeezed into the corner of a bedroom. I now have space for an office so have upgraded my setup to the below.

- M4 Mac Mini
- 2x 27" 4K Monitors
- Magic Mouse
- Desktronic Desk
- Lots of cable management under the desk
