[ashen spindle]

but now imagine if rocket lake had some improvements instead of getting worse over comet lake

adl would look like shit then lol

but hey, first step to have good competition again

[fickle ore]

mebbe

zen 3> for me now

Next upgrade maybe in 10 yrs lol

[ashen spindle]

Oh yeah intel is only on top for 2 months till v cache is out

[crimson wigeon]

But what if it isn't all that great?

[fickle ore]

Well Zen 3 is beating 12900k rn in some benches for min fps and avg fps

game benches

doesnt need to be that good either lol

[ashen spindle]

I mean it’s the same advantages that Adl but better because it’s more L3 instead of ddr5

[fickle ore]

Slot in for x570?

[ashen spindle]

Ya

[fickle ore]

meh, prob not worth 500€

[ashen spindle]

Nah not really

[fickle ore]

and my gpu is gimping me more atm and I dont even game much atm hehe

OW at 300 fps min quality 75% render scale is gpu bottlenecked lol

[ashen spindle]

Well that pain can be alleviated end of next year haha

[fickle ore]

Lol

TOo long

[ashen spindle]

Oh something funny I realized

Multi Chip gpu actually makes it so it CANT consume more watts than monolithic

As long as we stick to pcie card factor at least

[wheat plume]

This subreddit really loves brave-tan recently

[ashen spindle]

wrong channel?

[wheat plume]

Not really?

But also yes?

[ashen spindle]

what even is that

[wheat plume]

Brave-tan!

The brave browser waifu

[ashen spindle]

[halcyon moss]

geezus, rthats so anime oversexualized

[wheat plume]

How is that sexualized?

[halcyon moss]

... realy?

[wheat plume]

She's wearing shorts

Everyone wear shorts

[young pecan]

Hyper minishorts, the shoes, plus the classic anime designed face.

Very sexualized.

But not oversexualized.

Supremely retarded looking, tho.

When're we getting pockets-on-everything-chan?

[pale sigil]

Jeez

All anime is sexuslised on both sides

XD

[fair gull]

so

what ure saying is

bi people have it the best

they can just play both

[pale sigil]

Yes

100%

[fair gull]

you horn dog you

[timid chasm]

you dirty dog!

[pale sigil]

i haven't cleaned my downloads folder in years

no file is >1gb

[reef patrol]

xD

I manage that in a week. And have to clean it out.

[pale sigil]

anything over 1gb usually goes to a different folder

on my nas to be more specific

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-5800x-gets-a-massive-price-cut-to-300-usd-at-microcenter

Shit this makes it quite hard to consider Alder

[crisp granite]

AMD go brrr lately

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crimson wigeon]

it begins

[crisp granite]

offering 16gb of VRAM on a GPU for less than 1000k USD (actual MSRP) is a win imo

8GB at 600 USD is shit at this point

and somehow a lower end card has 12gb

🤨

[cursive summit]

Did you miss the title that it's about Ryzens not Radeons?

But yeah 16GBs of VRAM is awesome

Especially for miners

[crisp granite]

nope, I'm just stating that AMD is getting things right

[crisp granite]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-and-morty-krombopulus-michael-killingtime-gif-9752156

[ashen spindle]

the ram ammount doesnt really matter, think when I was trying it it was using 5 gigs on my 6800 iirc

[crisp granite]

RE8 will eat that amount of VRAM as a light snack

[young pecan]

Sorta.

The highest demand algo is Ethash, and that's on 4 and a half gigs atm.

But some things like GN-GPU don't even need DAGs, so it's more about SPEEDY RAM than big RAM.

[cursive summit]

GDDR6 not good enough

Bruh

[young pecan]

Not for mining.

X is WAY faster.

[cursive summit]

Still great RAM

[reef patrol]

Of course. It's IV better than 6.

[young pecan]

It's not great to a miner unless the ROI is 4 months.

[cursive summit]

Where's HBM3 anyways

[young pecan]

Normal GDDR6 at these prices just can't do it.

[cursive summit]

Was that reserved for professional products?

I think I heard of HBM2e getting adopted

[young pecan]

Ngl I don't really care.

So long as the memory bus is bigger I'm a happy lad.

[cursive summit]

Jesus

HBM3 is insane

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17022/sk-hynix-announces-its-first-hbm3-memory-24gb-stacks-at-up-to-64gbps

[crisp granite]

indeed

[cursive summit]

Also very recent

[crisp granite]

I'd love some of those crisps

mmm

crisps

[cursive summit]

819.2 GB/s bandwidth

That is actually phenomenal

[crisp granite]

nutty

[cursive summit]

I mean where would you even use so much bandwidth

Pretty sure this could sift through entire google's database in a few days

[young pecan]

Literally mining.

Also PLEASE 1024 bit memory BUS.

Or 2048 bit.

Fuck it, put as many bits in that fucker as possible.

[cursive summit]

It's on 1024

https://www.techspot.com/news/92098-intel-disabling-support-support-directx-12-4th-gen.html

Rip 4790K

[young pecan]

20480 bit BUS.

I want it.

[cursive summit]

4790K was a godlike CPU back in the good ole days

I bet not that small of a minority keep using that one to be fair

4C/8T can get shit done

[reef patrol]

RIP... literally RIP how?

OH NO - I CANNOT PLAY MY DX12 GAEMS WITH MY... MY... igpu?????

[young pecan]

Mansen.

MANSEN HOW DARE YE?

Don't you care for little Timmy?

[reef patrol]

[crisp granite]

no

[cursive summit]

But muh raytracing

[young pecan]

Still playing Minesweeper on his iGPU.

[crisp granite]

timmy can go fuck himself

get an actual CPU and graphics card

r/elitistshitbags

[young pecan]

Just get an ASIC and 24 graphics cards, shitbag.

And 2 debatable CPUs.

Had I known they'd be useful I would have gotten cheaper 8700ks.

[cursive summit]

Isn't ETH rn insanely proftable

The little of ETH I hold seemingly doubled in value

[young pecan]

Yeah, Eth is good rn.

[cursive summit]

Dunno why, but it used to be like 25$, rn 50

[young pecan]

Value doubled.

We hit ATH like 7 times in the last few weeks.

[cursive summit]

Too bad I can't be bothered to mine

Need that GPU

[young pecan]

rolls eyes

We've been over you not needing it 24 hours a day.

[cursive summit]

Meh maybe once I decide to ditch this 5700 it'll go into a mining rig sometime next next year

[crisp granite]

no

Aeon

Vexx has gotten into watching porn at night

[cursive summit]

HOW DID YOU KNOW

[young pecan]

Man just doesn't sleep.

Lmfao

[crisp granite]

game and study by day
hentai by night

[crisp granite]

yep

lol

[cursive summit]

Game and game by mornin, day and evenin

Nut by bedtime

[young pecan]

Realistically if you want a card for personal rig you buy something with 11+ GB/VRAM.

[cursive summit]

Eroge throughout the night

[young pecan]

My 1080Ti hasn't stopped mining in 4 months aside from reboots.

I still play games on it.

[crisp granite]

me with my puny 8 gigabytes

[cursive summit]

What kind of weak ass shit are you playing

My whole PC fails to function when mining

Hence I ditched it

[young pecan]

Destiny at ultra, GW2 at ultra, I played some Metro Exodus at high, etc.

Thing is I have enough VRAM to eat the mining.

You don't.

[cursive summit]

8GB GDDR6

You surr?

[young pecan]

Yes.

DAG takes 4.5GB.

[crisp granite]

an excuse for an RTX 3090

👀

[cursive summit]

How's 11GB 5X any better than 8GB 6

[young pecan]

You literally do not have enough VRAM left for texture streaming.

That's why.

[crisp granite]

it's the amount, not the speed ^^

[young pecan]

I have enough capacity to do texture streaming, lmfao.

[cursive summit]

I use teamredminer

To be fair the PC's unstable not cause of lack of VRAM but cause of shitty motherboard

[young pecan]

Mm.

[cursive summit]

Dunno how but playing Rimworld bricked the PC somehow, twice

[young pecan]

But if you wanted to mine something and game you need enough VRAM to support the DAG generation and whatever game you're playing.

[crisp granite]

must be a gigabyte mobo

[cursive summit]

ASUS ShffTUF

[young pecan]

8GB leaves you with like...3.2GB left after reserved.

[crisp granite]

I got an MSI mobo I think was actually meant for mining iirc

[young pecan]

The fuck you gonna play? Vanilla Minecraft at low?

[crisp granite]

so...that's nice

[young pecan]

Plus remember the OS needs some VRAM too.

So you're probably left on 2.8GB remaining.

[cursive summit]

3.2GB is still more than the total amount of system memory I had in 2016

[crisp granite]

[cursive summit]

Poor old A4-5400 APU with 2.5GBs of RAM

[young pecan]

Careful old man. The wind is approaching.

:)

[crisp granite]

I now realise I'm likely not going to upgrade my gaming PC for at least a decade

[young pecan]

Pff, that's an idiot lie and everyone knows it.

Yes I'm sure you're going to see RTX 7000 series and go "Yes, my old hardware doesn't leave me tempted".

[crisp granite]

Aeon...I'm probably just going to daily drive a macbook air since I won't have much time to game for the even remotely forseeable future

[young pecan]

Especially when you've been bitching about wanting a 6900XT for Far Cry.

[crisp granite]

it was a joke

kinda

idk, I was half serious

[young pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/im-calling-bullshit-bullshit-detector-gif-14371589

[crisp granite]

I am getting the next macbook air though

[cursive summit]

Can someone call me once 6800XT falls below 400€?

[pale sigil]

Far cry 6 was fun

[crisp granite]

no spoilers

[cursive summit]

Main villain dies

[young pecan]

THE BAD GUY LOSES.

:)

[crisp granite]

FUCK YOU BOTH

The number you've dialed is no longer in service. Please check and try again

[cursive summit]

Big spoilers, literally every Far Cry got spoiled

[crisp granite]

YOU RUINED IT

[ashen spindle]

goofy dies in season 2

[cursive summit]

To be fair I have no clue how FC6 ends, neither do I really care

[crisp granite]

I slept with your mum in season 3

wow

[young pecan]

Fuck ikr.

[crisp granite]

I really have gone full degenerate

[young pecan]

It's going to obviously be some stupid BS about the bad guy dying and the heroes of the story barely escape with their lives.

[reef patrol]

I only know how FC6 begins...and I kind of hate it. Reminds me of 4. But time will tell. Not expecting to pick it up till next year.

[pale sigil]

@crisp granite he doesn't die

They are pulling your leg

Something does happen though

[crisp granite]

it's obvious the villain loses in the end, and there's bloodshed between the start and then

good enough for me

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pale sigil]

You'll have to figure it out yourself

[crisp granite]

I really play for the violence

violence is fun

[young pecan]

I don't even know, but knowing the standard FC formula I'm willing to bet the story will be typical garbage.

[cursive summit]

Best part about the game is apparently that you can just end the game early.. and it's still the best ending than the one you get by playing the game

[pale sigil]

Honestly, I played 100% only for the actor

If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have bothered

[pale sigil]

There's two endings?

[cursive summit]

Not playing the game, best ending of Far Cry games since FC4

[ashen spindle]

hence my favorite soundtrack in ff14 currently:

[pale sigil]

Don't spoil for doge

[young pecan]

Only 2 endings? Wow, such pleb.

[cursive summit]

When you get the boat after doing some missions and they tell you "to just go", you can literally hop in and literally go

[pale sigil]

I will actually fuck you over

[cursive summit]

You get a pretty cool cutscene

[young pecan]

Cannot FUCKING wait to get my TwoHE.

Probably tomorrow.

[cursive summit]

That's about it

[young pecan]

Gonna spend half a day configuring it for NieR.

[cursive summit]

Isn't it quite telling about Far Cry game quality that the best endings are always the ones you get by just not playing

Or is it just that bloodshed is bad?

[young pecan]

outer worlds noises intensify

[crisp granite]

I'm still lost on where mine is...and I hope it arrives soon enough

[young pecan]

Mine's been at a sorting depot for 5 days.

[crisp granite]

that game just smells like saltuna and burnt gunpowder

[crisp granite]

I got the shipping code for my wrist rest, that arrived 5 days ago

keyboard is MIA

[young pecan]

Same.

Exactly the same timing.

[pale sigil]

Forza 5

[wheat plume]

I just noticed backspace is missing the a

[pale sigil]

Lol

[wheat plume]

WHYYYY

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

the lettering on these keycaps is horrible btw

its like they didnt have curves, so all the letters are made with short straight lines

which makes everything bumpy

[wheat plume]

The way to know capslock is enabled is to check for a blue light from under the key
but the backlighting is also blue but the capslock light is darker blue and less bright

the same dark blue light is under the F8 key to tell you that the laptop is on

[ionic storm]

Wait til you notice Scroll Lock is missing 2 Os, 2 Ls, and a C

[wheat plume]

Yeah but thats a small ass key and a lot of keyboards do that too

The fact that Backspace has enough space for the full word yet they choose to drop ONE LETTER is what bothers me

[ionic storm]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-confused-serious-superman-gif-15454166

[wheat plume]

ssshhhh

[ionic storm]

Wait til you notice they completely wrote out "print screen" though which has one more character than "scroll lock" and three more than"backspace"

They even made the font smaller on that key just to do that 🤣

[wheat plume]

XD

ikr

and | and \ are on the Z and X keys

so I need to press FN to type those characters

[ionic storm]

LOL

picture?

[wheat plume]

also, that shit lettering is very obvious on the C key in this photo

[wheat plume]

OMFH XD

[ionic storm]

sorry that's literally all I wanted a picture for

[wheat plume]

:') I approve

[wheat plume]

this laptop isnt even ISO

its ANSI

cause small enter key

[pale sigil]

Looks like really bad printing

Everything just looks so wack

[wheat plume]

yeah, the lettering is shit

they keyboard itself feels real nice to type on though

[pale sigil]

That would actually piss me off

[wheat plume]

bit hard to press for keybords shortcuts though

[pale sigil]

Lol

[wheat plume]

it does for me too....

[pale sigil]

That alt and fn

[wheat plume]

the C and M and 8 and 0 and f9 keys are all jagged edges on the lettering

any non-straight part of th character is made with a bunch of short straight lines

so its not at all smooth

[reef patrol]

Hey.... Hey... Avanna

[wheat plume]

The touchpad on this laptop is really bad
The speed is odd and it thinks I've double tapped when I haven't a lot
And it moves slightly more after I've stopped moving my finger so I keep missing things I wanna click on

So far it's the biggest weakness of the laptop

I have a cheap Bluetooth mouse
It's decent but tie clicking is sooooo loud

So forget using that in college

also you changed your profile pic

thats illegal

[ashen spindle]

idk who the guy is I just saw his twitter bio

google security engineer isn't gonna do literal opposite of his job

[pale sigil]

He is very famous in the scene but the community were just being impatient and awful, he released one final exploit and said fuck you all im done

[ashen spindle]

ah

and yeah been using zane picture for way too long considering how bad BL3 was

Usually he reports the exploit for bounty money then after x time releases it

lowkey really tempted to get this keyboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERgEmhXNGvo

just seems like a fun thing to own lmfao

[old marlin]

I know 2 people that will buy it already

But once it is in stores

Not kickstarter

[ionic storm]

lol it's not going to stores

[wheat plume]

Why does activating dev mode on Xbox Series X require SPECIFICALLY VS 2015?!?!

[old marlin]

E-retail is a store

[ionic storm]

but they're a legit company who've released a solid keyboard in the past

[old marlin]

They are so legit

[ionic storm]

and the kickstarter is fully funded too

[old marlin]

They stole ramas teaser renders

[ionic storm]

?

I can't even find it anymore

Ah wait

Thought of another company

[ashen spindle]

[misty saffron]

yeah no it doesn’t

[wheat plume]

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3

[misty saffron]

great

but that is an xbox one era string

which nobody bothered to change

[halcyon moss]

im typing on a k3 atm

[ionic storm]

Are they programmable?

[halcyon moss]

hell no

[ionic storm]

ah

[halcyon moss]

at least.. if they are, they arent advertised as such

[old marlin]

the Q1 is at least

[ionic storm]

do you know of any super-low-profile boards that are also fully programmable, and preferably keeps the profiles on-board so you can use the profiles on any system?

was wanting to get an on-the-go board for my tablet and such

[halcyon moss]

that LP85 is so noisy

[ionic storm]

yeah, but looking like my best option right now

[halcyon moss]

I like my K3 with gateron browns.

[ionic storm]

They're all sold out right now too

Only the white back light model too

[halcyon moss]

i wish there was one without back lighting :p

[ionic storm]

Just turn it off?

Lol

[ionic storm]

This will just be easier to carry around though

[halcyon moss]

yes, but do you see where that button it? its too easy to hit and get a rainbow charade on the board! i already removed the keycap

[ionic storm]

And only $95 cuz I know someone else who wants one too and there's a special if you buy two right now

not like the german government is good at this shit on their own

article 13/17 whatever is grown on their shit

[ionic storm]

Nah nothing bad ever happens when germany decides it doesn't trust the rest of europe 👀

[old marlin]

germany also tends to ignore stuff when the EU decides something is not going right in germany

can't wait when the EU will inevitably decide that the privately run credit score system in germany is illegal, since it doesn't follow the GSDPR at ALL

entire thing is completely intransparent and they collect data without you knowing it

[pale sigil]

We had a privately run credit score system too

And still do

When we were in the EU

[old marlin]

same deal with the privately run public broadcast bs

they get all your adress data etc

and you are legally obliged to pay them

but it is not government ran

[reef patrol]

#MakeItATax

[old marlin]

would actually be better

thing is it could be a few times less expensive

if they made the whole thing state owned

and more oriented

so we don't get a bunch of needless shit

that sucks up 80% from the margin

[ashen spindle]

well the original idea was to not have it be state owned so it cant really be a propaganda tool

[old marlin]

yea now instead it is privatized so they can keep racking up the cost

so I can pay for more episodes of giga expensive, badly written crime, series-episodes

thanks

oh and don't forget that I also pay the pension of their old moderators

[ashen spindle]

I've decided I'm getting my money's worth just from the heute-show when they make fun of politicans

[old marlin]

yea uhhhh

I would lake it if the media I am forced to pay i not leaning in political directions

thanks

[ashen spindle]

well it's a satire show

[old marlin]

so being left leaning is satire

[ashen spindle]

don't think making fun of people in power is leaning either way really

not like they dont make fun of die linke

[old marlin]

that is not my point

they should not be leaning in a political direction

if I am forced to pay for them

I am not part of a left party

it is an entirely private company

[ashen spindle]

uhh I still don't think it's leaning in any direction if you make fun of everyone

[old marlin]

why do I have to pay for satire

if I don't wanna support the entirety of the ZDF

bashing politicians is culture now?

[ashen spindle]

that's fine but now you're changing topic

[old marlin]

I'm not

it misses it's purpose

that was my point from the beginning

in addition to a LOT of forced funding it also runs ads

over 10k since starting mid 2019

buying only. no selling. no day trading.

just dumping my money into long-term tech investments

I don't really play with the risky stuff

[ashen spindle]

well by stock market standards amd was risky for a long time and still kinda is

96 core cpu in 2022, 128 in Q1/2 of 2023

[cursive summit]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-unveils-zen-4-cpu-roadmap-96-core-5nm-genoa-128-core-begamo

Jeez

[crimson wigeon]

insert more cores meme

[crisp granite]

more cores

[pulsar lantern]

Love to see a return to competition. Intel and AMD constantly trying to 1up each other, entertaining to watch and is always great for the consumer

Hopefully intel will take a crack at the threadripper lineup with this new intel 7 process or whatever it's called

A return to good extreme editions would be nice

[ashen spindle]

won't happen till next gen though most likely

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/HzieL6ZSOXw

it still makes my pp tingle with delight

[ashen spindle]

extreme editions are cool and all but in a supply constraint economy they are veeeeeeeery far downt he list of important things

just take a look at zen3 threadripper still only being out as the pro version

and after all the changes that Pat as the new ceo can make are not going to be implemented till late next gen anyway

same as the changes that Jim Keller did with the new design, that's most likely the chips after raptor lake

now we just need to get games to work on 128 cores and fps go brrr

[cursive summit]

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/07/elon-musk-faces-a-15-billion-tax-bill-which-is-likely-the-real-reason-hes-selling-stock.html

Well TSLA value bound to drop tonight

[ashen spindle]

god I hope it crashes so hard

[reef patrol]

Well duh? Stocks aren't taxed. Your profit is 😄

[ashen spindle]

sure but there is a new bill planned in america to change that for super riches like him

[young pecan]

Y’mean the tax on unrealised capital gains?

[ashen spindle]

ya didnt look into it really

[young pecan]

Haven’t looked into it much myself.

[wheat plume]

I like this setup

other than only one monitor

[chrome estuary]

those subscriber count bar things is such a fucking ego jerk thing

like a self circlejerk

[wheat plume]

Yeah...

he also has the same speakers as me xd

[chrome estuary]

yeah i know harsh way of putting it but like come on

and really? the razer drum speaker things?

[wheat plume]

Yep yep

[young pecan]

The drum speakers any good?

[pale sigil]

anyone can play a drum but making it sound good is another thing

Aka razer products

[wheat plume]

they arent that bad, tbf

but my only previous speakers was a cheap 30 euro bluetooth speaker

anything sounded better than that thing

[young pecan]

How much are they?

[chrome estuary]

a lot iirc

130 USD for basic
170 USD for a little led ring on the base.

[young pecan]

O_O

For the pair, right?

[chrome estuary]

dude it's razer...

[young pecan]

Holy fuck lmao.

[chrome estuary]

pff no it's for the pair

[pale sigil]

Lana is um

[young pecan]

Why not just get an old set of Magnavox speakers and make a case even at the pair pricing?

[pale sigil]

Special sometimes ❤️

[young pecan]

Or second hand Sonos Ones.

[wheat plume]

shh xd

[pale sigil]

Logitech is fineeeeeee

[chrome estuary]

I paid like... 200$ for a set of self powered TW-J5500 samsung towers (i think that's their item id). They're good and i got them for plug and play but also for heat reasons.

[wheat plume]

Got them on sale one christmas at the store for €85

[young pecan]

That's still more than I'd pay for em.

I got 2 triple speaker Magnavox drivers for free.

[pale sigil]

Lana has also owned alienware 👀

[young pecan]

Needed maybe 20 bucks of repair work.

[wheat plume]

They also have a Pro version, that include a tweeter on each speaker and a subwoofer you place on the floor

[young pecan]

Old vintage speakers, worth something like 500 AUD atm.

[chrome estuary]

i didn't see the pro version on their site but i didn't really look real hard

[young pecan]

Issue was in the coil of one and the second needed a new back, a good clean, and some new wiring.

[wheat plume]

tbf, that machine was decently priced, considering it came with xbox controller, wireless adapter for said controller and also a bunch of games

[pale sigil]

Imagine not having a subwoofer

Tbh lana is the sub 👀

[wheat plume]

LOL

[chrome estuary]

my speakers have a small sub in each of them

[young pecan]

Don't need to pay for it when it's integrated.

Avanna on a higher plane of existence, the strats are unreal.

[chrome estuary]

no not just a woofer, an actual subwoofer. They're considered 2.2 speakers

[pale sigil]

Tbf I haven't used my speakers since I packed em up

Kinda wasted

Was tempted to attach a Bluetooth adapter

[wheat plume]

I cant really use mine currently, my room is right against the neiughbours wall

so they hear ANYTHING I PLAY

[young pecan]

Play the Welcome to the Cum Zone series.

[wheat plume]

wtf xd

[chrome estuary]

i use my speakers primarily. My Verum Ones and the fuckin hip-dac when i wanna be a little more surrounded by sound

[wheat plume]

i wish i could use my speakers more

my headphones get uncomfy after a while

[young pecan]

Wait why?

What've you got?

[wheat plume]

CoolerMaster MH752

[cursive summit]

What

Didn't you have Cloud Alphas

Why'd you get the MH752s

[wheat plume]

yep

my clouds got damaged real badly over the years

[young pecan]

Oh god these look awful.

[wheat plume]

like the pading came out and the fake leather on the cups worn away

[crisp granite]

got a good run out of em?

[cursive summit]

Didn't nearly everyone tell you to get something AKG or Beyer?

[young pecan]

^

Iirc we all told you and Lumi to go with them.

[crisp granite]

get some meze empyreans

[wheat plume]

almost 5 - 6 years

[cursive summit]

I mean if you insist on getting shit products, then okay

But yeah I got myself some AKG K702s

[crisp granite]

noice

[cursive summit]

Great cans to be fair

[crisp granite]

you know who else has great cans?

[cursive summit]

Not the annie edition, but they slap the soundstage

[crisp granite]

ur mum

[cursive summit]

Nah my wife

[wheat plume]

lol

[cursive summit]

And I can't even touch them

Fml

[young pecan]

Personally my HD800S still slaps.

Only minor damage to the headband which needs replacing.

But otherwise no problems.

[crisp granite]

🙃

[cursive summit]

Why the S model

[crisp granite]

sucks to be you then

[cursive summit]

Last I heard nobody was happy about HD 800S

[young pecan]

Was cheaper and the mods turn them into the same phones anyway.

Nah.

[cursive summit]

Idk but Hifiman put the stealth magnets into Aryas so HD 800s might get slapped now

[young pecan]

The HD800 is great, and the S model bypassed a lot of the need for physical mods.

The only issue is EQ.

[crisp granite]

the HD6XX's are just the same thing with half the pricepoint, no?

[young pecan]

They're super temperamental on the EQ.

[cursive summit]

Not at all

HD 6XX = HD 650

[crisp granite]

ah

so...better?
worse?

[young pecan]

Worse.

[cursive summit]

HD 8XX = HD 800 kinda

[young pecan]

800S is a LOT better than 650.

[cursive summit]

Neither

[young pecan]

Disagree.

[cursive summit]

Oh you mean 650 vs 800

[young pecan]

Yep.

[cursive summit]

Yeah of course 800 is a lot better

I meant 6XX vs 650

Same product

[young pecan]

Basically.

[cursive summit]

Different marketing name

[young pecan]

Personally I'd say the 650 is better because materials.

[cursive summit]

Don't ever buy the HD 8XX

Somehow Drop fucked those cans

[crisp granite]

wasn't planning to

[young pecan]

But it's a minor difference, certainly not worth the extra money.

[crisp granite]

I was going to get Meze Empyreans

[cursive summit]

Don't

Empyreans are very underwhelming sound wise compared to the rest of the competition at that price point

[young pecan]

Yeah, why would you?

[cursive summit]

Better off getting LCD-5s

[young pecan]

Audeze or Sennheiser exist.

[crisp granite]

if you insist...

[young pecan]

Especially Audeze at that price.

[cursive summit]

Don't get Sennheiser either

Audeze are great

[young pecan]

This.

My next pair of cans are Audeze for sure.

[cursive summit]

I forgot the name of the company that makes some insanely good cans

[crisp granite]

any way I can try headphones for comfort without all the upfront cash?

[young pecan]

Go to audio meets.

[crisp granite]

...

[cursive summit]

Go to Sennheiser official store

They just have cans for display and try outs

[young pecan]

Audio meets are better.

[crisp granite]

I'm still waiting for a keyboard meet in my city

[young pecan]

They'll have super custom setups and a heap of advise.

[cursive summit]

Oh right, Abyss

[crisp granite]

Abyss

hm

[young pecan]

Plus the best part of audio meets are that you get cheap shit.

[cursive summit]

https://abyss-headphones.com/

[crisp granite]

I've heard of those

[young pecan]

Don't even think about it.

You don't have the 10k for the Abyss stack.

[crisp granite]

I think about the abyss all the time

[misty saffron]

how dare you say he's broke

[crisp granite]

definitely nicer than life here

[cursive summit]

Literally depression

[crisp granite]

I mean...I kinda dig myself 10k in debt a year just on tuition

so...yeah

[cursive summit]

To be fair if the lad has the money for price tickets to travel across the world abroad and live there then the lad can get himself good cans

[crisp granite]

should probably start living the broke student life

[young pecan]

https://www.audeze.com/products/crbn Oh these look good.

Very beautiful design.

[cursive summit]

Don't get electrostats

[crisp granite]

I just don't spend what I earn from my job lol

I get almost 13k a year working part time

spend a thousand at most per

[cursive summit]

Gimme cash

[young pecan]

Thoughts here?

[cursive summit]

I'll invest return you a %

[crisp granite]

no, but thanks for the offer

I already invest my cash in stock

[cursive summit]

Like they have to always be connected to a massive brick of a charger?

[crisp granite]

portfolio grew 3% today

[young pecan]

And?

[cursive summit]

No portability, no bueno

[young pecan]

They're open backs, where tf are you taking them?

[cursive summit]

Also more sources for failures

[misty saffron]

shall i remind i got +1000% on my crypto in 1.5 years?

[cursive summit]

Electrostats in theory are the best headphone tech that exists, but man they are unwieldy

[young pecan]

My portfolio is up 60% today, it's fucking epic.

[misty saffron]

too bad it was 15 usd

[young pecan]

Got a massive boost on my RTM investment, plus my other projects are going nuts.

[crisp granite]

so I can blast my shitty punk music while typing away on my mechanical keyboard paired to my macbook while sitting at a starbucks like the pretentious little bitch boy I am

[young pecan]

I might buy these electrostats.

Be an uber douche with them.

Jokes aside I'm sure these would be absolutely phenomenal.

I'd need to rework my entire audio stack.

[cursive summit]

I'm ok and prolly will never upgrade my schiit stack + K702s

Sounds sick, no real issues with it

I'm still drawn to trying out high end headphones but at this point I already have 2 pairs, I don't intend on making a collection

[wheat plume]

schiit stack...

[cursive summit]

I'd rather collect manga

[young pecan]

Seriously?

[cursive summit]

Mega seriously

[young pecan]

In book form?

[cursive summit]

Yep

[young pecan]

Weird.

[cursive summit]

One of my dreams is to have like a real nice shelf full of mangas and perhaps some kind of statuettes

I just dig manga

[young pecan]

Y'know what.

[wheat plume]

i reallly wanna get a life sized figurine someday

[young pecan]

Good on you for having a life goal that's actually doable.

Props.

[cursive summit]

sexdollsforyou.com

[wheat plume]

nuuuuuu

[young pecan]

Can't wait for the day that backfires.

[cursive summit]

I just want to liven up this bare grey corner

Need some life to it

[young pecan]

Someone makes one that's so realistic a cop thinks it's an actual person.

The media shitstorm will be hilarious.

[cursive summit]

The fuck you on about, police brutality

[young pecan]

No.

[crisp granite]

Aeon...

[young pecan]

Think about the general sketchiness involved in 4chan and then think about how a hyper realistic sex doll fits into that.

[crisp granite]

quit giving me ideas

[young pecan]

cops arriving on site after noise complaints of the sketchiest nature

The media would be utterly hilarious.

I can only imagine it going the same way Mortal Kombat originally did.

[crisp granite]

the media is always hilarious

[young pecan]

Hmm.

I want those electrostats, tho.

[crisp granite]

no

sexdoll

[young pecan]

But...

Electrostats.

[cursive summit]

Electrostatic dolls

[wheat plume]

?

[cursive summit]

For extra the pleasure

[neat oriole]

Electrostatic cringe

[crisp granite]

a little zap when you hit the spot

[neat oriole]

Limp dick planars is what they are

[crisp granite]

you know?

[wheat plume]

????

[cursive summit]

Ares you can't say shit about electrostats, they are literally superior to planars

[young pecan]

Apparently Audeze's new flagship mostly solves that problem.

[cursive summit]

Best headphone tech

Just, unwieldy, that's about it

Neither should you really want it

[neat oriole]

Nothing is “the best tech”

They all have trade offs

[young pecan]

Damn tho, LCD-5 really looks nice.

Holy fuck.

https://www.audeze.com/products/lcd-5

[cursive summit]

That LCD-5s price point looks mega nice too

[neat oriole]

Orpheus is the best estat because it sounds the least like an estat

[young pecan]

Yeah, not bad tbh.

[cursive summit]

So, personal opinion

[young pecan]

4500 USD isn't awful for flagships like this.

[cursive summit]

For a whopping 4.5$ you can literally make yourself headphones from aluminium or some shit

Nobody should really spend so much cash on a set of cans unless they work in the industry

[young pecan]

Why do these go into the 50kHz range?

For what possible reason?

[cursive summit]

When 300$ headphones can fulfill the exact same niche just as well as headphones going for thousands

[young pecan]

Yeah no, guy.

A lot of stuff in the 300 range you can absolutely hear problems in.

[cursive summit]

You need a trained ear to hear anything above 400$ that's worth your money

Diminishing returns

[young pecan]

It's like refresh rates, going up means you can't really go back down since the problems become over apparent.

Yes diminishing returns, but holy fuck I would 100% buy my Sennheisers again.

[crisp granite]

...have you ever tried not spoiling yourself rotten?

[cursive summit]

Like fam I live tried out Sundaras and Anandas vs my K371s, I heard nearly no difference

[young pecan]

I think that comes down to individual hearing.

[cursive summit]

Spacing was noticeably nicer, but no big improvement

[young pecan]

That's no fun, I need my lambo.

[neat oriole]

If you can’t hear the difference why do you even care about anything like estats

Just stick with the cheapest option that you think is good enough

[young pecan]

Ngl I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that in audio there isn't an objective best.

[cursive summit]

I could hear the difference no probs, but the difference was nowhere near worth the 550$ or so for the Anandas over my 100$ k371s

Hence why I got my 140$ K702s now

[neat oriole]

I mean there are objective qualities, but it’s not the be all end all

[young pecan]

Like, yes you can have a thousand dollar pair of headphones and it's going to sound great, but add any valve amp into there and it's easily in the many, many thousands before you peak it out for obvious improvements because of the sheer range.

For example, add different sets of valves and you can mix wildly different sound.

And there's no way to know any of it until you listen.

Tube rolling is known as insanely expensive for a reason.

[neat oriole]

There’s a pretty big tonal difference between the k371 and either of the hifimen and if that wasn’t something you picked up just quit the hobby

Like seriously, stop wasting your time

Be happy that your ears aren’t that sensitive

[cursive summit]

If you are insisting that 550$ headphones are worth the price then you must have a lot of cash to throw around

[neat oriole]

Value is subjective

[young pecan]

As he said, be happy you can't notice the difference.

[cursive summit]

Oh I did notice the difference

The value was not there though

[young pecan]

shrugs How much music do you listen to?

[cursive summit]

Like all the time?

[young pecan]

Weird value proposition for you then.

Personally I listen to music a majority of my time awake, the value for something amazing is absolutely there.

[cursive summit]

I didn't hear anything amazing worthy of 550$ for the Anandas

The sound was noticeably clearer, sharper, spacing was far better and impressive

But it was a midget better, not literally 5x the cash better

[young pecan]

How long did you have em?

[neat oriole]

Like if this is your take, you shouldn’t be giving out any advice. It’s like asking a colour blind guy which monitor is most colour accurate.

[cursive summit]

Around an hour or two

[young pecan]

LMFAO

Yeah, get fucked.

Your advice is basically worthless after that tidbit.

A good pair of phones takes weeks to fully break in and learn.

[cursive summit]

Dunno what audio shop would literally let you to sit around for 100 hours

[young pecan]

Of course.

[cursive summit]

But I've read about Sundaras, they tend to take a long time to get used to

[young pecan]

But owning a pair of phones isn't 'use it for an hour and decide'.

[neat oriole]

If you have the fundamentals down you can have a decent impression out in a few hours

But that ain’t it chief

[young pecan]

Sure but it's nowhere close to owning the things for weeks.

Hell, with my HD800S I was discovering new shit for 3 weeks after listening to music.

[neat oriole]

The trick is the use music to listen to your headphones

[young pecan]

Just songs I thought I knew having heaps of random extra detail I could never hear.

[cursive summit]

I guess one thing about my ears is that I can't hear a difference over the K371s and 702s, and I don't think they use the same driver

[young pecan]

Be glad you can't.

[cursive summit]

Which I actually appreciate, since I can use them one after another

And 371s aren't redundant yet

[young pecan]

Having good ears is a minor curse, tbh.

[cursive summit]

Unlike using Krakens or Steelseries after Cloud Alphas, Alphas butchered low end audio for me

[young pecan]

Personally I refuse to go back to solid state amps, I'm no actual animal.

Valves are just too good.

Too much gets added to the sound that I love.

[cursive summit]

Is valves like a weird way of saying tubes?

[young pecan]

Same thing.

Went from some mediocre ElectroHarmonix valve to a Siemens E88CC, never returning.

The 70s was vintage.

[wheat plume]

LOL

Bish?! WHAT BASS?!

These headphones barely do bass! why u lie like this

its good bass but its not more noticeable than the treble

Who was it that helped me get EasyEffects working last time?

wtf is this button for?

🤔 its gone now

[misty saffron]

uhhh

that is called balanced sound

[wheat plume]

yeah! I know

Ive heard reviews say these headphones have a lot of bass

and im just thinking like wtf.... you deaf?

[crisp granite]

I don't actually like meat on my pizza
