Carpe Diem commented on 50% off Staunch Koala Freak 2.0 Pre Workout $39.97 + $9.95 Delivery ($0 with 2 Qty/ SYD C&C) @ SHN
What's the ingredients? Don't see them listed anywhere?

Carpe Diem commented on 40% off Single Origin Coffee 1kg $25.19 (Was $41.98) + Free Tim Tam + $6.99 Post Delayed Dispatch Only Deal @ Lime Blue Coffee
What's the best before date? I have a fair bit of coffee in the pantry.

clx on 1/2 Price Lucky Almond Meal 400g - $5.25 Each, 1/2 Price Ocean Chef South Atlantic Raw Prawns 500g - $10 Each @ Woolworths

Sounds fishy to me.

Carpe Diem commented on Yamaha YAS-108 Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofer & Bluetooth $165 Delivered @ Amazon AU
Decent soundbar for the price. Just be mindful if you own the Hisense P7, well known connection issues.

Carpe Diem commented on Question about JB Hi-Fi Gift Cards
I used about 8/9 gift cards & electronic ones, when buying a TV a few months back from them.

I'm in a similar position, 39yrs, 55k Super ish & no home or wife...just a cat :) Things could be better but there is still time to make...

Carpe Diem commented on Home Theatre Setup - Recommendations
After much pondering I ended up buying a soundbar in the end, which I never thought I would. Opted for the Yamaha 108 after reading some...

Carpe Diem commented on 11/5: Bauhn 55" 4K Smart $599, LED Bulbs from $2.99, 8/5: Almonds $13.99, Cashews $16.99 @ ALDI
Personally I would not touch Bauhn at this price. For about $100 more you could get a Hisense P6 55, which would be much better.

Great Soundbar, which I own. Decent price but not a bargain considering it was $25 cheaper 2 weeks ago...

I've got a bad feeling about this... Bank balance might be going lower.

Carpe Diem commented on Closing down Sale – 50% off Karma Pillows ($75 Each + Free Shipping) @ Karma Pillows
I guess this deal is a classic example of snooze you lose... Sorely tempted!

Stahh on Hisense 55P7 4K Smart TV $714 + $55 Delivery (Free C&C in QLD) @ Videopro eBay

Better than this model but inferior to the NU8000.

Yep. So I now have two great sets of earphones. I would have actually preferred the X3s because little difference between the two & I...

Carpe Diem commented on 50" 4K Ultra HD TV $399 @ ALDI
I'd rather spend a maximum of $200 extra & get the Hisense P6.

Carpe Diem posted a forum topic Jaybird - Great Customer Service!
So I bought my Jaybird X3’s early last year, which are by far my favourite to date. They went faulty & JB provided a replacement in...

Carpe Diem commented on Budget of ~ $1300 for TV
Lifetime wise is difficult to tell but from my experience, TVs generally have a good lifespan these days. Most upgrade for a bigger/Better...

You have been a lot of help. Cheers! Even though I know to avoid wireless speakers. I may get them for the back because the wiring will be...

Food for thought & they definitely look great! $700 is a stretch though & so entering into four figures is definitely too much...

That's a good way of putting it. I think the maindraw card is that it's double the output of the Yamaha & I love the look of it but lack of...

It is a manufacture refurb from Sony direct, which comes with a 1yr warranty. It seems a decent price & now tempted to pull the plug on it....

It’s been an interesting exploration into the world of audio. I never knew there were so many intricate aspects one must consider...

Good advice. I’ve cooled on the second hand product now. Mostly because every time I found what I assumed a decent setup, it was lacking...

Carpe Diem commented on 100% Cotton/100% Linen/70% Linen & 30% Wool/40% Wool Suit Jacket $49 (Was $369.99) 5 Choices (+ Shipping or C & C) @ Sportscraft
I just got the Dawson 40 delivered & it's the perfect fit. Great material & quality. Already received one compliment in the office about it.

Carpe Diem commented on 20% off All Men's Underwear + Free Shipping @ Debriefs. MicroModal Trunks & Boxer Briefs
I bought two x6 packs during their V Day sale & they are the best underwear I've owned. Excellent fit & level of comfort. Great packaging...

Hisense is vastly better than Soniq/Conias & a different league imo.

The X90F is an excellent TV too. Good choice.

Carpe Diem commented on Home Theatre Setup - Recommendations
Some great tips & recommendations, appreciated. From my initial searches, I've found some very agreeable prices for a second-hand 5.1 setup.

@trankillity Thanks! Will take a look. The description does state more for small/medium rooms. Good price though!

Re Quality - To a degree, it also depends what you watch. I remember seeing David Attenborough's The Blue Planet round my friends & it was...
