netforce

... Soon where I will be going but decided to take a little time off for now. Been working nonstop since January 2020 so wanted to spend some time resting. I will still be involved in the headphone biz!

Good luck with your new adventure!

Best wishes on your new adventure. I look forward to hearing where you go next.

This was on Christmas Eve and had to get towed back to my house. Upshot at least was my package I was picking up was a PS5!

Damn that sucks about your car.

Oh dang man! That does suck. Threw a rod or valve maybe?

Ouchy.... that's not what you want to see on a $900 item...

I've been loving my gen 4 m.2, load times in older games like Skyrim are so fast you can't even read the tips.

Newegg has been doing bundles to beat bots so I had to buy the m.2 to get the cpu. I considered returning it since the 2tb was so expensive but decided to keep it. Build is going to be pretty overkill for my needs lol.

I am excited for this round. I like what Dr. Lisa Su has pulled off.

That being said, I am prob going to step up my 3080 to a 3080 ti when those launch and sit on it for a couple of generations like my 1080ti

Going the same route. Snatched a 3080 FWT3 Ultra and gonna step up to a TI or 3090. Also much cheaper than going full retail.

The amd gpus are pretty good, I think after using the 3080 fe for a little bit now, I want to probably get a quieter card in the future. No rush for me, maybe a 3080ti but not sure totally just yet. Will see how the benchmarks compare on the ti.

We have got two of those in the acoustics lab at my college, along with a lot of other b&k stuff.

I am considering if I go from 3700x > 5600x/5900x but I am not sure I'll see a benefit at 3440x1440 and I don't need the cores for workloads.

I didn't try the Sayl when I was at the HM dealer, kinda regret not doing so for mostly curiosity sake. I honestly bought the 5900X as a knee jerk reaction when BH had the orders up a night before launch. Couldn't really justify the 5950X for my uses and thought I should do a little overkill. Realistically, I probably would have been fine with a 5800X as an upgrade over my i7 7700k

Uhh, for mostly gaming and productivity workloads, I think 5600x is where it's at.

Nvidia will release a 3080 Ti with 16 gigs to compete. Gonna pick up a 6900xt if I can get one. This explains the announcement today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy-tubbJ2Vo

Hmm. So I have a GSync monitor with max refresh rate of 120. If the new AMD card can let me hit that 120, will Gsync matter? I honestly don't know how much impact it has had on my gaming.

AMD cards look pretty decent, they benchmarks they showed looked good but should take them with a grain of salt like always.

@Melvillian Expecting them likely Q1 2021 for the higher vram cards personally. Some 3080/90 dropped today on Best Buy and they sold out quite quickly. Demand will be high all around for a while.

Final distro said his son heard it and really liked them but wasn't too descriptive past that. I will try to measure them on some EARS but would need to figure out how to on a TWS lol.

Probably just need to run them BT from my laptop.

Any updates? I'm strongly tempted to try to find a pair because 23/24 years ago I was a nerd into this stuff.

No updates yet, A46 did go live with it: https://audio46.com/products/final-audio-evatw06-true-wireless?variant=36397160497308

I know some people will ask questions they sort of know the answer to just to make sure they know what they're doing, are on the right track, etc.

That or I've noticed some old people legit enjoy trolling after having to take life serious for so long.

I've had many customers 'test' me by asking questions they already know the answer to. I feel like I'm a dancing monkey sometimes. Playing dumb frustrates the heck out of me, I left the entertainment industry behind for a reason. Sometimes its good natured, other times TROLLS

I get a pretty good sense when talking to customers how well versed they are. Sometimes it is indeed an older customer wanting someone to share their passion of audio with.

I do periodically get calls from people who are kinda amazed there is someone with the same amount of interest in the hobby.

@Melvillian Yeah I saw that video. I do think that the hype for this card is a little overblown. It really isn't double an RTX 2080. And it's still 800 dollars, which isn't pocket change.

The GamerNexus video was pretty good and I understand where they are coming from. Still disappointed I wasn't able to snag a 3080 at launch to upgrade my 1080ti but that's life. I got an order placed on Adorama for a card but it is backordered and I have no ETA.

Glad I didn't instantly dump my 1080ti earlier this month when I decided I was going to cop a 3080.

I left a comment about how nvidia has conditioned everyone into thinking $700+ for a video card is a bargain.

@netforce I have a 1080 and really want to upgrade as well. I’ve been dying to play some games like control with the ray tracing on

If this was tacky AF gold I'd cop and wear around town

@zerodeefex Pics if you go full GoldMember with the headphone and gold track suit.

@Phantaminum I'm dark, shave my head daily, have gold shades and several pairs of metallic gold kicks. I wouldn't be a stretch.

Legitimately surprised half of southern CA didn't have rolling brownouts this weekend.

Car was parked in the shade earlier, when I got in the thermo read 131.

Here in Alhambra, coming home from work last night I drove by two streets blocked off because a transformer blew. My buddy up in Duarte had the power go out on Friday but oddly was able to stay up today and yesterday when it was hotter.

How about the BH 770, so shameless they even ripped off the 770 part!

MSR7 ripoff and they just photoshopped the headphones on the same dude's head from the 770.

Meh-ringer, the almighty Chifiman mentor

Aspiring chifi companies leave offerings at their Behringer statues every morning.

Its fine, was adjusting how my fridge door opened and forgot that I left a screw on the ground. Luckily it mostly got the side of the foot, little blood but didn't get stuck. Honestly forgot all about it till I was getting discomfort walking at work.

So when people tell you to screw yourself, I'm not quite certain that's what they mean.

I'm screwed!

Sexy

You know you want to throw those Yeezy's and Nike's in there too :) I'm a 10.5 also - Next time you come to PHX - I'll give you a few sneaker spots to check if you are here for more than one night next time.

Sneakers sent off to the trash where they belong! Honestly with the lockdown, I hadn't even been wearing them much. Would love to give them some more wear in the future.

How were you using the Quads? Nearfield as well or no?

I was on the desk, it wasn't an ideal experience
