Creative Sound blasterX AE-5 vs DAC?
How does the AE-5 compare to the X-Fi Titanium HD for surround sound emulation in games? Is this an upgrade from the X-Fi’s CMSS-3D? My current setup is Titanium HD to a Schiit Valhalla 2 tube amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. Is it worth upgrading to the AE-5 for strictly gaming...- ajlong12

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
Thanks Jalo! I really love it. I needed the longer 9ft cable for my setup, and I'm glad I went for the black/brown color with the Makassar ebony splitter and red engraving. It all came together really well and was worth the wait IMO. I really like how light and flexible it is considering the...- ajlong12

Rate The Last Movie You Watched
10/10 Saving Private Ryan I watched this movie over the Memorial Day weekend, I think it speaks for itself as I am sure most here have seen it by now. It is just so well done and, for a person like myself fortunate enough to never face such combat, it's brutal realism is a stark reminder...- ajlong12

PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)
Think I'll be getting the EVGA GTX 1080 Classified, but the hybrid AIO liquid cooled version sounds intriguing. It will be interesting to see how well these custom, non "Founders Edition" cards can actually overclock given the voltage lock. From what I understand the reference Founders Edition...- ajlong12

Best gaming mice
By far my favorite gaming mouse is the Steelseries Sensei. I purchased a Sensei about 3-4 years ago and I just love the design. I have since gone through 3 more Sensei's, but now I just buy the RAW version for ~$40 once a year.- ajlong12

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
Ok Trevor, I appreciate your attention to this matter! Like I said I'm not trying to be a sour grape or dissuade anyone from your business, all I would suggest is better communication with your customers on wait times with these long Draug 2 cables. I promise once I receive the product to post...- ajlong12

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
I don't mean to be a sour grape, but I will say there could be improvement in regards to communication about wait times and delivery. I have been told directly by Trevor to expect delivery of my Draug2 on three different dates now, none of which have been met. I do appreciate his work and the...- ajlong12

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
They definitely looked sweet when I had the 290's, until summer of last year when I switched to a single 980 Ti and the Acer G-Sync monitor. Unfortunately, AMD's crossfire support was atrocious and I was fed up with the constant hassle. I may go for a custom loop again in the future when big...- ajlong12

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Hey guys! Just got home to unbox my new HD 800 with Valhalla 2 amp. I have to say, the positional audio in gaming blows my AKG Q701 out of the water. Instead of just hearing "Side to side" movements, I can now accurately position units IN FRONT of me. I see what you mean when you talk about...- ajlong12

Hey guys, I recently won a pair of Sennheiser HD 800's off eBay, they will be replacing my trusty AKG Q701's on my gaming PC. I love the wide soundstage of the Q's for positional audio in competitive FPS games. I know the HD800's are top end cans, but can I expect them to have an equal or...- ajlong12
