    Please for the love of god.....can i go back

    I lurk 99% of the time. Logged in just to say the site looks like ass. There is something to be said about not fixings what isn't broken. Sure the site looked "dated" but it was utilitarian. Now it looks like if Microsoft was trying to shove Window 10 BBS down my throat - but had the project...

    Elite: Dangerous is $15 on steam until Dec 1

    Just chiming in. A bit of a biased source but I backed the game early. If you have any interest at all in space sims it's a great game to pick up, especially at that price. Further, even if you don't upgrade to Horizons after the fact you will still be able to play with all the players...

    Gaming on one monitor out of a 4 monitor setup

    This is the best solution I have found personally. I currently have a 1920x1200 main monitor that I game on and another 3 monitors for productivity in an upside down "T" configuration. The 3 work monitors are run off of a previous leftover card that wasn't worth reselling while my main monitor...

    Nvidia knows what the next AMD card will be

    Or they knew it would be priced at around 700 and already had a source on preliminary benchmarks and priced the ti to be competitive against a slightly better card. The marginal advantage in some games - not all, meant AMD had to also price match. -This is a possibility I see happening...

    Looking for a slight upgrade... Cans for around $250-300?

    I would like to say I agree with most here when they say anything else closed will probably be a lateral shift. I have noticed, while there are quite a few closed cans out there, they tend to be in the same class as the 770's, only changing in the subjective aspect of listening. Any...

    Beater IEMs for wearing under a motorcycle helmet

    This. I was lucky, after a year of riding I started having hearing problems in my left ear but earplugs, that I wear anytime I am going for more than a 15minute ride is an absolute must unless you want to lose your hearing. I am neither here nor there on the "music while riding" argument...

    It's like listening to my favorite songs for the first time again...

    Congratulations on the new cans. My experience mirrored yours when I got my "big boy cans" for the first time. I had grown so accustomed to listening to music through sub-par headphones that when I switched I was amazed at how much I was missing.

    Is this a good cheap update?

    that is a better step. I have my personal preference but. I would suggest taking the cash you were going to put into the DAC and invest it further into a set of cans. http://www.head-fi.org/t/413589/dt-770-80-or-ath-ad700-for-first-real-headphones When I saw $80+$80 = $160 I...

    Idiotic Quote of the Day

    I have long argued Wikipedia is a fantastic public resource, a widely updated and easily accessible "Cliffs notes" or "idiots guide to" anything. It is a fantastic starting point for anyone wanting to learn about anything, but it is ONLY a starting point. The same thing that makes it great...

    Need Headset Help

    Short and sweet version. Limit your search to stereo headphones. Same price point, the more drivers are in the pair of headphones, the less money went into each driver. Most "audiophiles" see 5.1/7.1 headsets as a gimmick at worst and a technology in it's fumbling infancy at best. I would...

    Enermax Platimax 1200W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    In Jewelry the hierarchy of metals is as follows: Copper < Silver < Gold < Palladium < Platinum < Rhodium Sorry to hear that, If this was recent and you are in the United States you need only fill this out and send it to a department of theirs (certified mail) and they will bend over...

    Classic Doublesight DS-263N. 3 Years Later.

    Hi all, just wanted to throw this information out there to the forum that, 3 years ago, helped me pick up this "classic". My Doublesight DS-263N, 3 years after very heavy use is starting to show its age. On the left side for about 30 pixels wide in a wave pattern there is something that...

    I'm stumped.. PC will boot in one house but not the other

    Agree. I suspect the culprit is a combination of shitty PSU and dirty electricity, when they meet neither can carry the weight of the other. Do not agree at all (being very polite here). "No business"? I am capable of building circuits and have multiple multimeters, an oscilloscope, and...

    Niche gamer soundoff!

    Among some of the niche games I have seen listed, I am a big "4X" fan. I am anxiously anticipating the next in the X series X: Rebirth.
