I've got the fever for the flavor of... ChiFi sound? :)

I wondered if it meant something along the lines of hot, high temp, as in "hot stuff" meaning good, or great. I'm really not sure.

You have too little fever? Add more fever tweeters.

This shit’s gonna haunt my nightmares.

When I was in high school my neighbor gave me his old console phonograph set. The big wooden kind. Had two 6x9 and in that big cabinet space they would kick out some serious bass. I remember though using them to experiment with them putting the speakers in shoe boxes just to see how it changed the sound.

Maybe try the newest driver it was released on Mar 26, 2021. Tried today, so far so good. One thing to note it will instantly restart your computer, so save your work if you intend on doing so

@Gazny Thank you. I'm going to give that a try. @bixby I should have mentioned that the sound output from the device is fine, the crackling from the sample rate mismatch is on the input (external mic used for Zoom calls). I'll let ya know if the driver upgrade helps.

Grrr. Driver update did not fix.

Looks like something off our GE range. Glad it is working for you!

Holy Schiit! It was destiny!

Just joined the chickenhead club. Thanks!

@fraggler not without a splitter on the output (to feed 2 amps), so may as well just use a Sys that way. @Biodegraded at that price point I'd consider getting a second Modi Multibit instead and use some MiniDSP stuff I've got lying around to do crossover and volume control in the digital domain. :) Shuolda got the Nano Patch when it was like $50, which feels like the right price for what it is.

I had been looking for a nanopatch on Amazon for a few months and finally snagged one about a month ago but promptly returned it bc it had very bad channel imbalance for 80%-90% of the range. Haven’t seen it in stock since. Just using a Sys instead.

The solution for now: RCA splitters on the Sys plus a chicken head knob to make adjusting the volume less fiddly.

The opposite. Had an epic dump that just needed to come out but the body wasn't willing. Once I let the load go I felt like I had been running a marathon.

Are we about to have a thread started that is literally all shitposts?

The OP was just a quote from Glengarry Glen Ross, but now I'm kind of hoping it becomes an epic shitthread. :)

Crazy stuff, wonder where it will land by tomorrow morning

It was trading at $3-$4 last week, today it closed at $58, after hours trading it peaked at $90! And then r/wsb got locked and now it looks likes everything is falling

Hadn't even thought about him for ages until I was reading the obituary. Deserves huge credit, has a place in history, but no nice guy.

I didn't know he's been found guilty of murder.

I saw some Twitter comments about how he missed Trump's pardon by one day. Savages.

Good grief, I've just read another article about him: he really was a bastard!

that the ymk set?

@Syzygy Kind of endearing, isn't it? I assume it's a mistake, it's a pretty low-quality Aliexpress item: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000644744227.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.4706853eDYrrsb

@Cellist88 No, as far as I can tell that one doesn't come in DSA profile, and my goal with these keycaps was to shorten the profile height as much as I could.

Will go down in history as one of the most ugly vehicles right after the Pontiac Aztec.

It's like a stunted growth mid-size SUV.

I rented an Aztec once (not on purpose). As I pulled out of the downtown lot, a staggering old drunk gave me the most disgusted stare, turning to keep me in view until he almost fell over. Like "I might be a bum, but you're driving _that_."

MF DOOM ALL CAPS

One of the greatest.

Ah, haha.. didn’t catch that. A couple of my vocalist friends do this because it makes it easier for them to hit the right key.

Having never used a custom IEM, I'm having to guess what the experience is like. Is it because the mix is not great, or simply because no amount of good mixing can make up for not directly hearing your own voice when singing?

Not really sure not being a vocalist myself but I think it has to do with the difference in sound of what your hear resonating in your head versus what comes through from the mic.

It's not quite as nice as my Corsair K70 with Cherry low profile speed switches, but it's a good feel nevertheless.

Are those Scrabble inspired? Very purty!

I'm not sure where the color scheme inspiration for that set comes from, but I agree, it's purty

No CPU cooler included (if I had one I'd include it but I don't).

I use basically the same hardware after I upgraded my gaming rig years ago as my Roon/lynx E22/music server!

Thanks y'all; this is spoken for now.

I'll take it !

DM'd

Thanks brother !

Good luck! I had a stack similar for a while, but found myself getting serious cricks in my neck looking at the top screen (had Outlook up primarily, with work on the bottom one). Nice video conferencing setup btw.

What's the little angled thing with 3x5 keys/displays just to the left of your lower screen?

That is this: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck . Even if you don't do any streaming (I do, mostly for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBlQeIjnNVk&list=PLvB5tiM8nvVjVBbl6BN_ugkhl_ToMBBOE) it's a super fun accessory. Wish I'd gotten the XL size.

Switching from tweaked mac minis to win desktops sounds better to me as well. But perhaps it is the player to pc synergy.

I'm a mac guy but I'm probably getting a windows box for gaming since Catalina went 64 bit only. That being said, the new M1 macs seem super impressive.

Yeah, I really hope the M1 pushes the whole industry forward. I still like my iPad Pro for stuff it's good at. Apple's inability to deeply support its dev ecosystem is a risk.

Jvc fd01’s. With spiral dots, those stay in for a while, then they break seal every few minutes. These azlas act like they’re glued in. Amazing

@purr1n word. I’ll try to post something over the weekend
