It's a i9-9900K on Z390 MSI MEG godlike. Don't think the 10900K is out yet. Bit disappointed they will still be on 14nm.

It is a bit disappointing but at least the chip thinning they have done clearly helped with temperatures as they don't run like a blast furnace lol.

True true. Although AMD is still killing it with their threadripper especially in areas of productivity. Competition is good for the consumers though.

Hey! Twins.. :) Are you overclocked?

Hiya! Yes, both CPU/GPU,albeit not super aggressively. My room already puts out lot of heat w/ 38GL950G and XB271HU plus the PC. That's why I removed the Focal Arche I initially had on my desk and put the tiny Schiit stack, which still sounds awesome.

I have made a few adjustments to my listening station since before. Especially as my compulsion to buy random vintage pairs of headphones on the auction site results in a massive expansion in my collection, I ended up needing to put together a rudimentary shelf to begin storing them.

I'm going after that whole family of Koss electrostats. Those T.3 boxes are surprisingly useful outside of driving the Koss ESP 6's; I've got one hooked to my AKG K340s and my Denon drives them beautifully. A friend was gracious enough to gift me his Schiit Modi 2 Uber, so I'm running that as my DAC. For my regular headphones I have an ALT No.1 Class A amp, which works flawlessly and sounds gorgeous. The Adcom speaker switch is for hooking all of my electrostats up. $6 for that thing at Goodwill.

I've got a few more headphone stands coming to me in the mail, so this lineup is still subject to change. My family and friends (except for one) think I've gone off the deep end.

I really hope Microsoft can provide such a clear message for some bugs coming with Windows ...

Really! I would appreciate simple, honest errors messages like these:
  • Just wait for it, asshlle
  • Go away--I'm busy
  • You...talkin' to me?
  • Not now--I have a headache
