Four of them? Alright, that IS huge. I was considering three of those LG "borderless" 27" (DM92) monitors at one point, but ended up with a single 27" instead. Three would of been ridiculous.- Rebel975

Do you have a multimeter? It should be pretty easy (I would think?- I haven't actually done this myself) to measure the output impedance if you have one. Just use a male to male headphone cable and measure from the exposed side?- Rebel975

I have a 100' cable going from the modem/router (living room) along the ceiling and up the stairs (using those removable wall clips) to a 4 port gigabit switch in my game room. Screw wireless. The GAF was easy to get around by just letting her put flowers and such on the cable. lol- Rebel975

30dB difference seems like a lot. Shouldn't that be easily noticable?- Rebel975

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
I sold my HE-500's for $500, but I wanted a quick sale. They were sold in less than an hour.- Rebel975

Unfortunately, it seems that you can only convert displayport > dvi/etc., not dvi/etc. > displayport - unless you use a very expensive active converter. What makes it really expensive is that it would have to be a dual link dvi to displayport active converter, as I have a 1440p monitor.- Rebel975

I just sold a pair of GTX580's and bought a GTX680. I was trying to hold out for the 780, but really needed a displayport. I'll move back to SLI when the 780's come out. I was also kind of hoping that it'd come out during the step up period I get through EVGA, but I doubt it will.- Rebel975

^What? lol. Maybe it's pixely on a < 720p screen or something, but not on the 1080p, 1200p, or 1440p screens I've had/have. BTW- we have an iMac where I work, and the screen is definitely awesome. Unfortunately, it shows reflections. It's not too bad, but does bother me. To be fair, we...- Rebel975

5.1 speakers vs DH/SC/etc.
I couldn't give a good comparison. I haven't had the z5500 for years. I do remember turning down every channel except for the center at times. Though, I also remember the entire package being awesome. It was my first 'real' set of speakers.- Rebel975

Quote: Sorry, I thought you had forgotten about me or something. My bad. Anyway- You could say I replaced it with a UMC-1 and UPA-500. I get great left/right separation and "alright" front/back separation with my current setup. I'm dieing to add a center and rear...- Rebel975

^I had the Z-5500 for a couple years as well. It was the first real system I had. I really liked it at the time. Well, it's been a while. I did end up selling the headphone rig and moved on to a speaker setup. I only have a 2.1 right now, due to money and space issues. However, it's way...- Rebel975

4 way SLI is the max. The thing is, if you look closely, you can see that those cards don't even have SLI bridges installed. That would seem to indicate that those are some hardcore folding@home machines (or some other program like that). They literally don't even make SLI bridges that support...- Rebel975

I could just give you the mic in that picture if you want. I could even give you the preamp (which is necessary to have enough sensitivity). It's an Audio Technica Pro 8HEx mic and an Art Tube MP preamp. I should also mention that I soldered a power switch on to the power cord of the...- Rebel975

I kept finding that cheap mics had sensitivity issues. The Audio Technica mic + preamp allowed me to make it as quiet or as sensitive as I wanted. I used to troll people by hitting the +20dB switch on it. lol- Rebel975

Quote: I used to use the HE-500's with a mixamp. MLE is right- they're not the best for competitive gaming, but their bass and overall SQ made up for it IMO. I even used a nice Audio Technica mic and a microphone preamp with the Mixamp.- Rebel975
