Good desktop review and thanks for having both together for comparison. I have been using the Suunto compasses (MC2G and M3G) and very happy with them apart from the 2 degree resolution. I also have the Cammenga lensatic but that also has low res at 3 degrees. I was looking at the Truarc 10 which has 1 degree res but the fact that the baseplate has only one straight side it is not ideal given it is a map baseplate compass. Have you had any restrictions due to the one only straight side. Cheers from Australia.

I like an excellent knife. If I’m likely going to need to split a good amount of kindling, a small froe doesn’t take any more space than that knife. Fashion a handle for your froe with your excellent knife. The splitting froe has the right taper and temper for its purpose as does your excellent ,scalpel like, knife. The froe blade ,including the tapered eye, can be the length of your whole excellent knife. The fact is, if you build a knife robust enough to take the abuse of a splitting tool and pry bar, your still going to need an “excellent” scalpel like knife. I’ve been looking for that knife for months. I hold Victorinox in the highest regard. They are true masters at the craft. The grind on their meat processing knives is perfect for the task. What they accomplish in that factory is almost unimaginable. Congratulations on getting your hands on one.👍 and thanks.

I have the previous version of these and they are optically superb. However I noticed that the focusing wheel is wobbly and imprecise which is inexcusable on these high priced binos. You won't have this problem in Japanese binos.

Nice comparison, overall from far and the less knowledgeable, one is dress piece the other is toll looking.

Wery bad loudness nothing worth

Thanks for the sharing. Would it be hard to pick things from bottom of skarab? coz it's deep and the opening is not large enough

Maybe I am late, but i saw 1 month old comments, so im gonna try to ask :) I have a pair of Jamo 100W rms/150W max standing speakers. I know they are not the best, but these where my first speakers as a kid 20 years ago :) I am using a sharp amp that has 2x40W power (and is at least as old as my speakers). My problem is the connectivity, but also, when i turn on 50% power and try some rock music it feels like the speaker is vibrating/distorting. I was wondering if i buy an AS-301 could it drive the speaker better? Or do I need the AS-501? Or maybe my loudspeakers are old, and they never will sound good? Electronic music with big bass sounds okay, but guitar and drum kills it. My primary use case wound be to hook it up to the TV, and see movies. Sometimes listen to music. It is not a necessity, but i thought if I have a pair of big speakers why not use them?

WORTHLESS video! Who cares about Nichicon capacitors??

I have the AS-301 and it's surprisingly good. Sounds like a lot more than 30 watts/channel.

In my country it's 271€ (Sony) vs. 345€ (Yamaha). I'd go for Yamaha because of the loudness, as I have to listen at low levels.

Thank you - this was helpful for sized comparison of the two!

Hi there. As I have it, those "ramps" in the handle are for gripping the knife "chef-style" for slicing. The thumb and forefinger nestle in there as one grips the blade. Very clever. The hex lanyard hole - This is actually rather important, especially in a survival kind of application. The ability to drill holes adds a whole dimension to camping/survival. The choice of 1/4inch is important as one can get bits in multiple sizes as well as the one that comes with the Venture system kit (20mm), which it seems you did not order. A spade bit is much lighter and less bulky than those awful Scotch augers one often sees. It's interesting to hear you think of the Falkniven as a survival knife. In my opinion a survival knife needs to be much bigger (Becker BK9, Fallkniven Modern Bowie or CS Trail Master). Your characterisation of where the Venture fits in tallies with mine (and that of Felix Immler, Mr Victorinox!). Nice review! Cheers mate.

i dont think Sony could just add digital inputs, banana plug binding posts and a sub out and keep it the same price. The main point of difference is the integrated DAC of the Yamaha. The RS- 202 by Yamaha would be a better comparison for price and features.

Have you tried WM1Z compared to this WM1A?

Why does he keep saying SLC`s ? Stupid and annoying for people researching bino`s...

Believe it or not the Tuner in the Sony STR 190 isn't bad at all. I've heard many negative reviews on it but maybe i live in a more receptive area, i'm pulling in plenty of stations crisp and clear. With that being said, i'm using the Tuner section as a stand alone component hooked up to the Yamaha A S301 so i'm getting the best of both worlds. I would have kept the Sony STR 190 as my main unit but running my 4 OHM Wharfedales made me uneasy so i upgraded to the A S301 which can handle the 4 OHM load. But you can't go wrong with either units for the price.

Had a first version talon 44, bought Jan 2010. I did my mountain Guiding courses with it. Travelled hundreds of times with it. Skiing, alpinism, trekking, bushcrafting, dessert, roughness....really heavy duty stuff. And now, only now is starting to tear a bit. Itsthe best, lightest most comfortable baflg i ever had. Even better than my Millet Epic. Wpic is bit more padding but heavier and bunquier. The first/modified first version of talon was something unique. As i said I'm a mountain guide, and have been carrying backpacks outdoors since 1991... I don't know why they just fuck up with good perfect features. What's the purpose???? We're not fashion killers. We don't care about feature modernity shit . And still the osprey is the best in the market.

Informative review, thanks!

I agree that a sub out on the Sony would be an awesome addition, but at $148 you can't complain. I use it in a 2.1 setup and as you stated, having the ability to turn toggle the subwoofer on/off with the remote is super convenient. I also find the option to adjust the bass/treble via the remote puts it over the top.

Great stuff!

How sad an adult is so obsessed with trivia, your perspective is on what is important in life is badly distorted.

Hey, I have a question. I am about to buy B&W 603 s2 speakers from 2020, but I don't have an amp yet. my room is 60 m^2 5x12m. which one should I go with between the as301 501 701 and 801?

Good informative review. Thanks for sharing.

I'm with nikon 200-500mm f5.6 and nikon d750. I'm about to get monarch m7 10x42. The question is can i spot any difference between monarch HG vs m7 and swarovski nl 8x32 (for example)?

My shop rig is a Yamaha AS501 with Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 speakers. Very smooth.

Companion 8x30 is only slightly cheaper than NL pure 8x32. Is it more worthwhile to get NL pure in your opinion?

Para la gente ke dice ke los cuchillos de plástico no son cuchillos ,yo les digo ke aguantan el mal trato mil veces mejor ke los de madera,y lo saben pero no lo admiten,prefieren belleza a funcionalidad

Good video though. Good commentary.

The price tag on the venture is a bit too rich for my blood -- $100 CAD. I just can't justify that when I can get a Swedish made Mora in stainless steel for under $20.

I was thinking about buying a venture, but I think I will choose mora kansbol. Preparing meals.

A very well used F1! 👍

Nice overview of an interesting knife, man. 👍 I might give one of those Ventures a try!

If excellent and expensive are not for u a pleonasm, u mor*n

Great video and thanks for the compare.

Additionally I read somewhere the midrange driver in these is wired reversed-phased compared to the tweeter and woofer. Not at all certain why Yamaha did that.

Can the S801 DAC be used as a substitute/replacement for a 2ch audio-interface (eg: Focusrite 2i2, Universal Audio Volt 2, etc.)… for recording into a computer (and not just for computer playback). I know it’s supposed to be used for playback/convert digital stuff into the analog/amp, like computer-usb-out into amp-usb-in. But, can the DAC’s USB also record external sources into computer? (like recording a dj mix from dj mixer outs, or recording a music-production from Mackie desktop mixer outs, etc.)

Thanks for this review these are the two I was looking at. I think I’ll get the skarab because it’s a little cheaper.

Still using mine ❤😎👍 ima shameless Sony Walkman fanboy

This kind of review what im looking for

Why is everything so expensive in a america I have that bowl and paid £11 / 13 dollars in uk I brought it because it reminded me of baking with my nan

Is this hip belt removable?

Kudos! Great video. Very thorough👍

I just purchased a 701 (no dac) brand new for $650. Definitely would have gone with the 501 but at $650 i couldn't pass up the 701 Pairing it with my wharfedale diamond 12.2 bookshelf speakers, a klispch s120 sub and Technics SL1200MK2 turntable

Your voice is TERRIBLE !

Glad i have theold one! Great video

Is the new one taller? looks taller in the video. Worried about personal item size

These can be modded to vastly improve the sound. I found the tweeter to be too harsh and swapped them out in favor of Tympani soft dome types. I swapped the factory butterfield cross-overs for a pair from Infinity two-way speakers and don't use the midrange drivers except to simply plug the holes. I also converted the cabinet to bass reflex by adding two port tubes to each cabinet front. Very small tubes perhaps a little over one inch. I also added acoustic batting inside to smooth bass and absorb hollow box resonance. A lot of mods but in the end they sound decent and far more enjoyable. A 3-way crossover such as a Infinity Reference 5 could also be used and keep the midrange operating but I think I would in that case add a L-pad on the mid to tone it down. One oddity with these from the factory is the mids are wired reverse polarity.

Bought Japanese version (new) on ebay for $400

Good thing you didn’t try the Leica Noctivids and the Swarovski NL’s. I’d also like to mention you can’t appreciate and or see the optical qualitative differences looking through an upper mid grade to an alpha level bino in a store for a few minutes. You have to live with them a week or two to clearly see the differences.

Oldest is about to head off to college and I'm beginning to think about what he will need to start out in life. Very thoughtful presentation.
