I also had an X650 fail recently, on Christmas Eve of all days. Well Seasonic responded to my emails promptly (on Christmas Day, no less), and advance shipped me a new unit that I had in only about 48 hours. I for one was rather impressed by their warranty service, especially compared to other...
If I wanted to "show off" the format, I would use the Dark Knight for audio quality, and Man on Fire for real-world, non-animated, non-CGI video quality.
Which is not to say that movies like Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E don't look great, they do, but it is hardly an accomplishment when your source...
This Samsung SSD has been a great boot drive in my system for the last six months or so. Alas, I needed more space, so this little guy has to go. See the pics below for the exact model number, etc. It is in like-new condition, and given the reliability of SLC drives, it should have many, many...
I could not believe how much LinkScanner slowed down my internet surfing! It was like going back to dial-up sometimes (especially when using google, for some reason). I am now using Avira, and not looking back, despite having used AVG Free for years and years. They really shot themselves in...
Hi everyone, as the title states I'm selling one Corsair 620HX modular power supply. I bought this on clearence at CrapUSA a while ago for a customer, who ended up not wanting it. It could not be returned due to their going out of business sale. It has only been opened to test and verify that...
Yeah, open headphones and libraries don't mix, unless you don't mind being shushed. At this level of quality, the deficiencies of the A700 aren't that major, and quite a few folks might prefer their more impactful bass. I'd pick the A700 for gaming, movies, electronic music, rap; call it a...
So far I can only compare them as DAC/amp combos, as I have yet to do any real listening with the Pico hooked up to the analog output of the Apogee.
In this configuration, the first difference I noticed when listening to the Pico is the improved bass control as compared to the Apogee (using...
Some gratuitous audio pr0n for y'all to celebrate my latest and smallest arrival. Don't let looks deceive you, it's amazing how many full-size CD players and DAC's this little wonder outperforms:
I guess I got lucky as mine reports as being shipped out, with tracking number. I doubt I'll move my main system into it, as I'm pretty happy with the Solo, and was never that impressed with the P180, but we'll see if the 182 is much better.
What is it that you're looking to add/change soundwise? Given a certain set of equipment, the HD650 and RS1 can sound quite similar (that's with a Zu cable on the HD650, flat pads on the RS1). With bowls, the RS1 is certainly a different character, but I only preferred it to the HD650 about...
It is generally a pretty balanced sound. The bass is remarkable in it's extension, slam, and quality. It's the whole package of what one could want for great bass.
I just lucked out that I guy I know who lives near my father's house decided to sell his pair, and gave me a good price. Took a trip to see the old man, and got some new cans, two birds with one stone ;)
Hmm....too Grado eh? I can understand that from the perspective that the L3000 has a...
Who needs wood when there's leather? Well I guess you still need some wood to support the leather :D
I just can't stop listening to the damn things. It's an extremely engaging sound. This bass owns your soul! :D
A couple of basic pieces for sale here today, first is a 1GB kit of PC3200 DDR1 RAM from Patriot. It is the signature edition with the blue heatspreaders. I'm looking for $50 shipped.
Next is an Athlon 64 3000+ Venice socket 939 CPU. I'd prefer to sell just the CPU, but if you really want...
The angled drivers in the A500 make it better for sound positioning than the more conventional HD485. The AT's are also very comfortable in that they exert very little weight/force on the head. The HD485 is just a mediocre headphone to me, there was nothing particularly enticing about them...
