*sigh* I went to college for Mathematics and Computer Science, heck, nearly ended up with minors in physics, chemistry, music, and economics, and stuff like this is what I've done for work among other things. This is my wheelhouse. We aren't strictly talking about how much better one...

Actually no. And it's easy math to check with using the equation of: Original - (original x improvement %) which will give you the value of the better performance. So, if we use 64% we'd have 1.64 - (1.64 x 64%) = .59, which is incorrect. Using 39% we have 1.64 - (1.64 x 39%) = 1, which is...

TBH, if it came with a robust enough app, I'd actually like it. We had a water heater with a thermostat that was starting to fail, that itself doesn't really matter, but what I found interesting was how much that increased our utility bill , I think it was somewhere about $20-30/month. (Our...

Over 1.21 Gigawatts!?!?!?!?! Great Scott!! (sorry, someone had to do it)

It actually isn't like other engine "royalties". Those are revenue based, this change in Unity is install based, and it's a rather significant difference. I believe UE5 is something like 5% over $1,00,000 in revenue, whereas this change is $.20 per install. So, a dev gets a deal from Xbox...

I'll point out the the RP line of Klipsch has a much more controlled tweeter than the rest of their lower lines, not so much "in your face", so I wouldn't summarily dismiss those options.

Unfortunately with IEM's, and to a lesser extent earbuds, how they perform is very dependent on how well they fit your ear. There's no way to say that a particular item won't produce sibilance with a 100% guarantee. The best bet is if no reviews mention it, most likely it won't have it if...

Out of curiosity, does anyone here know the actual production costs of the 20,30, and 40 series cards? To make any kind of reasonable analysis on pricing, you do kind of need that. So far not a single person has provided such data, not that it doesn't exist publicly, nor can be reasonably...

A-weighting is also used extensively for safety in work place environments. But yeah, A weighting leaves out a lot of info, C is absolutely better, but without a frequency response graphic I'd rather have it Z weighted.

Hey, not sure if you ever received any decent responses but I'll chime in here some if you're still looking. I'm going to use my idea of decent for this reply, which may be quite a bit different than yours either direction but it gives a starting point. Basic entry level pricing would be...

I'm running some Swans M10, excellent sound for the price and would take it over most items mentioned so far. The problem is that it's discontinued and has been for a bit now, however every once it a while I come across it still in various specialty stores. I'm not sure if it's worth the...

Well, sure. But I extremely doubt it's $4k, I figured it would be around $8k - $10k Nvidia is paying, Jarred is guessing around $8k or so. I've usually heard it's somewhere in the 40-60% discount they receive.

For TSMC, the cost per wafer at 5nm is around $17,000, $4k is about what they charge for 28nm and I believe their 7nm is going for about $12k.

In addition to the above post, if they make the curvature settable, this would be fantastic. Personally I don't like the severeness of curves for most of the monitors today and this one is supposed to be 800R (eek), if I was able to set my own curve for whatever application I happen to be...

Sure, I've only had 29 years but whatever. I'd say that you are the one without any respect here. If I want to run three 4k monitors, why in the world should I be prohibited from doing so simply because you are bent out of shape over the power draw and think governments should put specific...

You don't understand. At all. GPU's take a given data set and transform it, grab the next data set and transform it. Massively parallel processing is happening here and it's actually rather simple in how it works, so to speak. CPU's are different. They do all sorts of different computations...

You people do know that this isn't like CPU's. Given the way GPU's work, there's not that much that can be done with IPC gains unless new algorithms are developed which is rather difficult at this point because the easy ones are done already. Nor it is easy to simply limit the data being...

This and the fact it was extremely expensive. The Apollo program was billions of dollars in 1960's money, one year it reached 6% of the federal budget. 6% of todays budget would be around 250-300 billion* in spending per year. Back then there was no foreseeable future where the costs of going...

Thanks for the replies! So realistically speaking, other than some performance issues (which I'm not too concerned about), I should be fine with those drives. Out of curiosity are there drives that are quieter than the WD's? They'd have to be 6dB or more quieter at load for me to consider it...

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting a couple of ~2TB drives mainly for storage; basic pics, vids, and various docs for the most part and I'll mirror one drive with the other. My main considerations other than reliability is price and being quiet. Speed isn't that much of deal for me so...

WTH? They are selling at or around MSRP. Newegg sells them in their shuffle at $399-$600ish for a 3060 (depending on manufacturer) and priced accordingly for higher tiers. BestBuy when they get them are also around there with Microcenter just above that. OEM's in their price for various...

Hey there, I highly doubt you're going to get any suggestions here on this site for that kind of question. I'll point you to www.avsforum.com where there are some quite knowledgeable diy'ers there.

The ZS 10 Pro are probably better. Just wanted to offer a cheaper option, I spend a lot of time at AVSforum where we specialize in hitting max budget and then shattering it, it's always nice to see less expensive options offered so I try to do that at times. :)

I was going to mention the KZ ATE IEM's, which are around $13 on Amazon. Here's a review: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/review-are-kz-ate-13-iem-earphones-any-good.2967694/

I will second the QC35 II and 1000xm4. I've preferred the Sony's (have the older xm2) but won't disparage the QC35 any and will simply suggest go with the best fit for your head (the xm3 is good too). I don't know anything of the Sennheisers nor the QC700 so can't say one way or the other...

Hi, When I first read the question my first thought was the settings were probably wrong, but since you've reset them...perhaps it's a hardware problem at this point. If I were to hazard a guess, I think you have problem in the pre-amp stage, afaik usually the headphone jack in most AVR's will...

As an FYI for anybody looking at this thread for reference, with the 1000xm series...at least 1 through 3 (though I would assume they will continue the trend with future versions), the mic can only be used via bluetooth as the headphones do not contain the hardware needed to transmit via 3.5mm TRRS.

The cable he listed was stereo 3.5mm to stereo 1/4", but what he needed was stereo 3.5mm to mono left/right 1/4". Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-153-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B000068O3C (First example I found so I'm not advocating this particular item) Keep in mind that...

On the TV audio ARC setting, instead of auto detect go through the list and see if one of the formats will work. Auto didn't work for my AVR but forcing it did.

Actually, in this case you need to connect via a y adapter which is fine to use for subs, especially in this case. In more modern AVR's where output is a single out, the AVR combines the signal (assuming speakers set to small) of the L/R before the output which is basically what you're doing...

Sorry, was late at night and misread the post thinking that it was infinite across the posts. In this case AA is correct and you need to contact Monitor audio on replacement.

Actually, having the box small won't cause any more overheating than a larger one. As for actually doing it, it'll sound fine...insomuch as it won't sound odd. However, it is extremely doubtful that you'll be making full use of any potential bass extension/total output that the 12 might have...

I'm not too versed on repair, but I can start you off. First, open it up and take a look around. With any luck it could be something as simply as a wire between the posts and the crossover got damaged or disconnected. After that, take a look at the crossover itself and see if one or more...

@kane: he's using a DAC with a sub...guessing he's doing bass management at that point which means you can't use the volume control on a integrated amp as it won't control the sub. @OP: What DAC are you using?

Just to give you another option to think about: 300 Euros gets you into the JBL LSR305 range which are pretty good powered monitors for the price you pay. If you're in a more metropolitan area, you may be able to demo these at various shops...you'd be looking for one that sells electric...

Oh I should also mention that you should take a look over at AVSForum at the Audyssey FAQ/101 thread, though the Yamaha uses their own room correction (YPAO), a lot of what's there will still be relevant...

Hey, Sounds good. Just a reminder, as with anything on CL, make sure you can hear it first. You should hear solid bass without distortion up to a loud level. But if it checks out, that's a pretty good deal at $215. And just to let you know, Emotiva gives it a three year warranty, if they...

Yes, the SVS would be a significant upgrade. Just to give you more options in that price range you can look at the HSU VTF2-MK5, the Rythmik LV12R, and the Emotiva BasX S12. Although it's not in the same league as the above (especially the HSU and Rythmik), the Emotiva BasX S10 would be a good...

Hey, Yes, you can lay it horizontal. As for mounting, it doesn't have any mounting posts or key holes, but there are wall mounts that are more or less shelves, plus you may be able to drive screws into the cabinet (you can email them if you have something specific in mind). Since they are...

Pair of JBL LSR305's. Better than anything listed so far. For $200-250 about the best you can do (without buying used) would be active monitors for a 2.0 setup.
