    Apocalyptic RPG recommendations thread!

    my nickname for planescape is 'scrollscape'. though the fallout series is more immediately playable and arguably more 'fun', i agree that planescape as a whole has a deeper universe and overall experience. planescape plays almost more like an adventure game at times than a computer RPG...

    Amp Synergy with Ety 4P/S

    I've used etys with a melos, gilmore v2, and a ppa and my vote goes to the ppa. AD8610s in all positions.

    Head-Fier's Essential Software List

    I think not using windows would be a good reccomendation for head-fiers. If you're a code monkey use an open source OS else use OSX. Note that windows by default upsamples your audio- yuck! not to mention that it (even XP) really acts like a consumer OS circa 99... a lot has changed in five...

    Help Me Buy a New Laptop

    I'd recommend a Pentium M model... i get some mad battery life from my dell 8600. I'd also recommend fitting a 7200RPM HD into your budget as that makes a huge difference in terms of perceived speed and responsiveness.

    Grovers, Bogdans, Nitrogens, Cardas....

    The Nitrogens are a unique cable. I think it's a secret what they do, but the end result is that you'll end up turning your amp up higher. They really sound unlike any other cable I've heard- brutally revealing, great mids, huge bass.

    WoW. Aos PPA DAC!!!

    yeah it's mainly 627 in the ground, 8610 in l/r. You can do a 8610 in ground, 627 in the other positions as well, but 627 on ground is my preference.

    WoW. Aos PPA DAC!!!

    The PACE is a very good product. I'm still working on the full review, but here's a quick run down vs bel canto dac 2: (remember that the dac 2 is a $1300 DAC and the pace sells for $730 headamp included) so here are some loosely collected thoughts: the PACE sounds like a DAC 2 "light". The...

    Personality Tests

    I took one of those Briggs-Meyer personality tests and got an XXTJ... dunno what that's supposed to mean.

    Head-Fi is killing me. :)

    Quote: Originally posted by bhd812 no it would be more of a tease cause you know there will be some good reviews and questions after burn-in. most of these posts don't result in good reviews, but some do. perhaps we need a brag forum for all the "yo i just got X; impression coming...

    What's the difference between the first and second generation Cardas cable?

    check the ear-piece connections and the 1/4 plug. The new ear piece connectors look more "authentc" and fit tighter and the new plug is rhodium so it's colored like uh rhodium.
