Also perfectly fine, I just prefer the features the uYouPlus app offers. It’s not only ad blocking, but also sponsor blocking, pop out player, background playback, reordering tabs (so I can remove the annoying shorts tab), and a bunch more.
I use Signtunes with uYouPlusExtra (on GitHub). This does not require a computer, but will cost you 10-15$ yearly to sideload without a computer. But Apple will allow sideloading SoonTM, so it might become free.
uYouPlus is no longer being actively developed, uYouPlusExtra is a fork under active development.
Haha,
According to 16personalities that is my personality. Never thought I’d see this here.
I came across this website thanks to someone sharing it here, so I thought I’d do the same: https://fmhy.pages.dev/storage/#youtube-frontends
I now use Waveform from Tracktion. Not open source, but all must have features are free. And supports linux, mac, and Windows.
However, if you’re used to Ableton Live, you’re probably better off using that. Good luck on your adventure pirate!
As well as Microsoft
And for iOS I can recommend uYouPlus (https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus). The cheapest way to sideload it is using AltStore. But there are other services which offer sideloading on device, these don’t require a computer.
That’s when I search on Lemmy, Reddit, YouTube, or Looria. Worst case, I ask Bing Chat to find some recommendations and reviews for me.

Oh didn’t know that, thanks!
I use WebTorrent nowadays, since it allows you to stream torrents. But before that, I also used qBittorrent, great application.

LAST UPDATE:
I ultimately went for the Yamaha A-S301 receiver/amplifier, paired with some second-hand KEF LS50 Meta speakers.
Around 7:00 PM, I finished work and had just eaten. That's when I got everything connected: I cut the speaker cables to length and connected the wires to the banana plugs. Removed some caps from the amplifier, so I could use the banana plugs, and wired everything up.
However, since I hadn't received all the cables yet, I had to get a bit creative to get some input into the receiver. In the end, I used the DAC from my headphones (JDS Labs Atom DAC) with an RCA cable and a USB-B to USB-C cable, along with my laptop.
My mother cried when she heard it, she thought it sounded so beautiful. I might have shed a tear myself. I've never heard such amazing sound in my life, it's truly magnificent.
In the upcoming days, and years I'm looking forward to enjoying it even more, but I'm genuinely thrilled with this purchase.
Hi everyone, just wanted to post an update. I decided to go with the Yamaha A-S301 and the WiiM Pro, thank you all very much for all your help, suggestions, and tips!
I'm very excited to try out the new setup once everything arrives.
Oh that’s good to know, thanks for letting me know :)
Just checked the prices of the peachtree amps, they look gorgeous, but are about 3-5x my budget.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I haven’t been able to find the “emotiva mini-x a-100” for sale anywhere in Europe, so I guess that won’t be an option.
Good to know that the S501 works well with those vintage speakers. Then I guess it will probably work fine with the LS50s as well.
Definitely adding that one to the comparison, never heard of it before.
Thanks again :)
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to the comparison!
The AXA35 is €410 over here, just wasn’t sure if 35W would be enough to drive em after reading online that people prefer 50-100W.
Amp/Receiver for KEF LS50 Meta
Hi there,
First of all, a little backstory. Three to four years ago I got into Hi-Fi audio because of Reddit advice from people. I bought the HD6XX with the JDS Labs Atom stack. And I am still in love with them to this day. I have been working in the summer holiday as a software developer at the company I did my internship at, which left me with some spare money. My mother’s birthday was coming up so I wanted to surprise her with a speaker setup for the living room. Did quite some research in the past couple of weeks, and discussed the idea with her on her birthday. I showed her some different speakers and asked her what her preferences were. She liked the Q350, LS50 Metas and the Klipsch RP 6000F purely based on design.
Forward to today, I saw a great second hand deal pop up, which allowed me to get a pair of metas, in near brand new condition, for €850. So after checking the history of the seller, I bought them.
I want to pair them with a nice amplifier/receiver that doesn’t color the sound too much (or at all). I’ve done some research and found some options that might be suitable. Based on what others use and specifications. (Min. of 2.1 channels, for a subwoofer in the future, min. 50W output per channel, etc.)
- Yamaha A-S501
- Yamaha A-S301
- Fosi Audio V3
But I was wondering if people here could help me make a decision, or suggest some other suitable Amps/Receivers that I haven’t listed, preferably under €500.
