you better upgrade those ancient CRT's to high end LCD's.

By the way I found CRTs really to be throwing alot of signal distortion at my poor shielded ICs, so I got an LCD and it works great. Just another reason to get LCD - achieve blackness in your audio signal!

My IC's and external soundcard are to the far right of the desk behind the LCD in the little cubbyhole.

I dont hear any bad JuJu in the headphones comming from the crt's
Plus the trinitron CRT has a huge thick sheild on the inside to lower interference comming from the monitor (and going into it).

Not going to buy LCD's all around, dont have $1,400 to spare to get 2 more of the dells that I got

Although very pretty, LCD's are still not quite up to par for hardcore gaming.

Plus, CRT's are a bit cheaper.... I guess im a bit old school about monitors (Anyone have a few thousand laying around to buy a sony fw900 24 inch widescreen or sony f520 21 inch for me?. If you only have $700, a Mitsubishi 2070sb would be nice as well. Thanks.

)

Well, most are cheaper, at least......

Cheers,
Adam

That's like saying you better upgrade those ancient tube amps to high end Solid State.

Prehaps i missed it, but what brand/model power conditioner is that?

Absolutely. I can't stand LCDs, I don't know why. Give me a nice big CRT and I'm happy

 

[dj_mocok]

CRT rules....
I Have nice 19" CRT and not planning to go to LCD path...

Monster Power HTS3600

My dell 2001FP is actually quite kickass for gaming. I bring that one to Lan parties. Its on par with my CRT's gamewise. The only drawback is they are 3 times as much.

I got my 21" trinitrons for only $240 shipped

I used to love my old Iiyama VMP450 19" CRT running at 1920x1440...

...Those were the days...

These days i'm stuck with my LG1710S TFT... not bad I guess, just a shame its impossible to achieve true-black, and that i'm tied down to a max resolution of 1280x1024...

Maybe my faith will be restored with flat panel stuff when OLED goes mainstream... who knows...

 

[neueziel]

I'm glad you gave head-fi the more high tech sexy looking monitor. I myself perfer CRT's. Aren't CRT's still better than flat panels or has that change? Currently I"m using a 19" NEC trinitron.
