    PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)

    What's wrong with you guys? Everyone has an old desktop computer lying around. Stuff it with some high capacity disks and voila - you've got a nas.

    The Hobbit Movie Thread (and anything else related to Lord of the Rings & J.R.R. Tolkien)

    I haven't checked out the extended version of an unexpected journey, can anyone say how much it adds to the film?

    Do you have tinnitus?

    I'm 21 and I've got mild tinnitus in both ears. It does not bother me at all and I can't hear it either unless it's extraordinarily quiet. That said, it'll only get worse with time.

    Tea-Fi?

    My favourite vendors are www.mountaintea.com/ for oolong and http://o-cha.com/ for green.

    Just ordered ASUS ROG G750JH-DB71???

    In general laptops are a bad idea for future proofing. They allow very little upgradability and are usually more expensive than their desktop counterparts. They only, and I mean only, reason to consider a gaming laptop is if you need (at any cost) portable gaming performance.

    Windows 8 got you freaked out? Try this

    Came here to say the same thing! Normally I'd pirate it but I like it so much I paid for it!

    Pranking the French audiophiles in 2004...

    lmao I was scrolling down the page seeing some amps and then bang! It hits you like a Norse god.

    Anyone else looking forward to the Opteron A1100? 64 bit arm, 8 cores, ecc compatible... the list goes on. I think it'll make an excellent home server/nas cpu.

    Whats the best way to guess your way through a multiple choice test.

    Agreeing with nikp, look for the options that are repeated the most in the answers. This is especially helpful with answers like:   1. a  & b 2. a, b, & c 3. b & d 4. b, c & d 5. all of the above

    What's Your Alcoholic Drink of Choice? // Drink Discussion

    I've become really fond of scotch and aged beer. As for names: Lagavulin, Aberlour, and Glenfiddich for scotch. Innis and Gunn for beer. I'll still binge on cheap beer and whisky at parties and get-togethers but when I'm not trying to get pissed then I prefer the above.

    Brief Odac impressions

    I bought mine from Audio Poutine here in Canada and I really like having both 1.5mm and RCA outs; it makes changing between speakers and headphones easy. It really is a shame the designer went MIA before giving us the ODA. Nonetheless I don't think I'll be parting with my ODAC anytime in the...

    Bottlehead Crack, background humming noise?

    Make sure all the solders on your output tube are clean and there's maximum clearance between wires. I had this issue when I first built mine but it went away after going back and separating the wires best I could.

    Audio Technica ATH-AD900x Impressions Thread

    I keep coming to these for my next main headphone. I sold my HD600s for cash just before Christmas and never managed to sell my Bottlehead Crack :/ but I'm thinking O2 + AD900X will provide me a nice experience in the future. Now if only I could manage the working capital to make it happen.

    DAC for Bottlehead Crack and Beyerdynamic T1's - help me narrow my options

    The ODAC is nice, I've got one feeding my Crack to HD600 and I'm very happy.   Edit: Doesn't have S/PDIF though, but you said it wasn't a deal breaker. A big pro though is that it's much below your maximum price and well documented on NwAvGuy's (albeit biased) blog.

    Review by 'Phait' on item 'AKG K240 MKII Headphones'

    First off, I am by no standards a veteran audiophile: I have only, within the last half-year, started my journey into the world of hifi sound.   To begin - the positives. The mids were stunning, a quality that extended up through the highs. The bass, some call it lacking and some plenty, was...
