You mean, that's not a really big HDMI port? Is it 4K or 8K compliant? The BIG question is >>> Does it have Bluetooth ?

Those are the ones someone on head-fi recommended as well. I decided against them since I have yet to find a single piezo driver of any kind that I could stand for any length of time. It may not be the case with the LZ A7's, but I didn't want to take that chance. However, after more research, and finding a very very lightly used pair, I settled on an absolute mint pair of BGVP DM8's, using nothing but eight BA drivers each. Congrats on upgrade, sucks on IEM's. You may want to check these out. (https://www.head-fi.org/search/4510131/?q=lz+a7&t=post&c[nodes][0]=103&o=date ) LZ A7. You can find these at much lower than retail (or used) if you put in the effort. Mine are paired with an Ibasso DX 160.

The revolver is a 5-shot, compact-frame, Ruger SP101 in 0.357 caliber. The oversized grips are by Hogue. The one in the photo is a 2.5" barrel, but the one I actually bought has a 3" one.
This is a "nightstand gun." Should I ever wake up with someone in the house who shouldn't be there, I can pick it up and pull the trigger. No slide to rack, no safety to unlock - just point and pull. Of course, I pray that I'll never, ever need to use this (and certainly don't expect to), but I do sometimes travel with my work, leaving my better half home alone. I'll take her to the range to let her become accustomed to the recoil, but this is for her too. I used to target shoot and shoot at skeet, but since I don't anymore, I've emptied out all my shotguns and rifles to a friend's collection, and now this is the only firearm we own. I've bought lightly-loaded hollowpoint rounds for the thing, and other than an annual refresher for familiarity and safety, this will probably never be shot.
If we lived out in the country, I might keep more guns. But being in the city for the last half of my life or so, a gun is no longer a tool.

Nice revolver boom. You forgot non jam. For personal defense, I prefer the revolver for that reason, 38spl+p. Less $$, less recoil but also less knockdown. Most women that I know, much preferred the 38spl after trying the 357. I keep both around the home for my S&W. One for target, play. The other for serious business.

It totally looks like court is in session over at casa Boons! Ha, what happens when the Judge says, "I can't think of one single reasonable person who can excuse your trespassing w/ an intent to inflict harm on the man or his loved ones?". .357 rocks - a good friend of mine brings his out whenever we go shooting together. Though I shoot w/ a 9mm his nickel plated .357 is tougher looking. Don't know which is more frightening in the stillness of night, the sound of a revolver's hammer being cocked or the rack of a slide? Either or has to be one of the loudest sounds in context. Anyhoot, little trivia, 9mm is .355 in diameter while the .357 is 2 thousands of an inch larger. I take it the watch goes w/ Boom's piece to enforce his castle's law and curfew? Remember Boom, your 2nd amendment is your right - and rights are not dependent upon how well we establish or articulate them for convincing others - contrary to popular opinion. Lots of books out there to inform the gun owner of what to say and not in case the undesirable occurs. Always best IMO to exercise the 5th to not give those with contrary opinion something "work" on. In all seriousness - I'm one that believes the more experienced - trained and more cool headed the man or woman in defense w/ the gun the less likely actually pulling back w/ 6 lbs or so on trigger is going to happen. Enjoy

.357-.355 = .002 ( 2 thousands )

A lot of the ladies I am acquainted w/ prefer the .380 caliber pistol for exactly the reasons you suggest. I prefer .22LR for target practice though that kinda caliber doesn't really train to deal w/ more recoil. I remember during the Obama years when the government gobbled some billion of .22LR rounds for training. There's lots of .22LR conversion kits for .223-556mm to use the inexpensive rounds for training.

I'm happy I live where I do lol, small city in Canada, bad stuff does happen but not to the extent I hear in the bigger metropolis that's for sure

If we lived out in the country, I might keep more guns. But being in the city for the last half of my life or so, a gun is no longer a tool. Had to chuckle when thinking "country"? That is, in contrast to "sanctuary cities", where it is in everyone's best interest to keep that "head priest alive". Biblically speaking, sanctuary cities are a place where criminals could seek refuge - and as long as they never left or the head priest was alive - these areas were designated a no-go-zone for victims, family of victims, bail bond's man, etc to act out in Justice as well as vengeance. Sound familiar?

Never met anybody that lived so far south in Louisiana that did not eat what they shot! 🤣🤣

You may want to start your wife out with some .38 Special ammo if you can find it.

I just purchased four more JBL 8330A speakers. Planning to pair them with my Sherbourn SR-120 and JBL SVA Center in my bedroom. Easier to hang these than work around towers and bookshelf speakers taking up floorspace

As for home defense legalities, the Parish District Attorney is my neighbor, and Louisiana still goes by the "he deserved to die" principle. Finding a jury of peers in Louisiana who would convict ANYONE who shot an intruder inside their own home has a probability of zero (and I speak as one who has served on a State Grand Jury before).
