Motherboard manufacturers going for "Hi-Fi" onboard sound
I bought an Asrock Z87 Extreme4 and I just realized today that apparently they tried to add some kind of fancy onboard sound to it that is supposedly better than typical motherboard onboard sound. I saw the "purity sound" logo on the mobo when I put it in, obviously, but apparently it's actually...- MD1032

My first foray into DIY: Pot headaches with a cmoy and other questions
OK, so, I built a cmoy the day before I left for Wisconsin. Might not have been the brightest idea but it didn't take too long and it was a lot of fun. Here's a picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/MD1032/Cmoy/IMG_2178.jpg I made a mistake when buying supplies. I...- MD1032

Head-Direct RE252 review: Prepare to be blown away!
Fang and Head-Direct have struck again with a fine piece of equipment here. The RE252 is a direct upgrade from and improvement to the RE0. The soft silicone molded piece that goes around the driver actually has a lot to do with the sound…it brings the driver and the sound it produces into...- MD1032

Assassin's Creed II - a truly exceptional game
...just go ahead and say Assassin's Creed II is the best Action-Adventure that has been released this decade, period. The storyline is completely kick-***. If someone wrote a book based on this game, I'd run right out to B&N and grab it right now. MYST is the only game I can think of that...- MD1032

My Christmas surprise for my friends (56k warning)
Happy Holidays, everyone, How much is enough? I decided a couple months ago that I have more than enough audio equipment.

A brief comparison: SR-60i, SR-80, SR-80i
For this really quick test, the track is "The Real Me" from the remastered Quadrophenia. I have like 15 minutes to do this comparison before I mail this guy's SR-80i's back to him...lol.

How do you deal with the changing seasons, physically?
Personally, I love fall and winter because everything cools down, the plants go dormant (fall allergies ended officially today for me because we got a stiff frost last night), and everything's just generally more pleasant. Unfortunately, I also run into two extremely irritating problems which...- MD1032

HiFiMAN HM-801 - The best portable audio player - mini-review and discussion
I had the privilege of listening to this MP3 player for a very long time (probably close to two hours) at the recent NJ meet on the condition that I would post something in the meet thread about it. Frankly, though, I think this player is worth discussion among those who have heard it. I've read...- MD1032

Team SODA-Fi - Soda drinkers unite!
All right, who else out there drinks excessive amounts of soda each day? I drink probably 2 cans a day, plus at every meal, and of all different kinds. I'm a Diet soda drinker myself because that's the way I was raised, so most regular soda tastes nasty to me. But heck, I love this stuff. I...- MD1032

Musician's Forum?
This is a thought I've had for a while. Now that there's enough band geeks floating around out there with me, I think it would be awesome to have a forum here for discussing actually making music instead of just listening to it.
