Not a good deal, especially if you don't need the extra PCI-E slots that X570 offers. Just buy the CPU on its own and get a cheap B550…

Looking at rting's measurements, it seems that the Xiaomi is the faster panel.

There's nothing AMD-specific. It's just the same as it's ever been. Shove CPU into the CPU slot, shove RAM into the RAM slots, boot up,…

This might have been true for Zen 1 or Zen+, but running at 3000MT/s was pretty much pain free for Zen 1, and almost all kits at 3200 will…

What CPU and what RAM? If you want to get it sorted PM me because tuning/OC-ing RAM is something I do a lot.

Your complaints don't really apply to the standard B450 buyer because: 1. B450 released dirt cheap, and **at its price range, you are…

Mate I sent you to three sets of measurements which objectively demonstrate that: 1. The Ananda/XX/XS Platform are high sensitivity, which…

Again, I'd really like to know where your objective evidence is coming from. An amp's job isn't to alter a sound signature. So long as the…

The XS' measurements show them lacking in sub-bass. The Ananda's, which seem to be built similarly, have fairly high sensitivity and a flat…

Unless there's a review you can link me to that shows that it measurably is in terms of refresh rate compliance and G2G performance etc...…

Given the 3070's been on sale for around 840, and given that the 3070 outperforms this card by quite a bit with DLSS and better RTX on…

In what universe are these actually bargains? You can buy and OC a 3090 to obtain similar performance, or just buy a 6900XT/3080 which gets…

If you're gaming at 1440p, note that you'll almost certainly be GPU limited all the way down to a 3600/10400F unless you're on a 3090 class…

$235 for an overspecced motherboard on an architecture that's barely overclockable? No thankyou. Get a 5600X for around $300, and a decent…

This is designed to be mounted on your ceiling, with a cable going into your router. Don't use wifi extenders in general. They just make…

If you are using a dGPU, 11400F and the cheapest motherboard you can find that supports it. No reason to go AMD atm with these prices, and…

Oh no the 589s are fine. You'd have to be driving something very dumb and very inefficient and very loud to trip the DX3 up.

[Measure exceptionally clean with plenty of power to…

> With better equipment the floors in the sound are more evident. To an extent. This doesn't mean that most people will be able to tell you…

The problem w/ hearing a difference is that you need to be double blinded. The scientific consensus is generally that our ears suck and…

I linked it above, but here it is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc Of course MQA responded like absolute twats, which you…

I use the DT1990 Pros with Dekoni and Brainwavz pads... Sometimes I EQ down the treble peak and bump the 1khz region a bit, otherwise I…

Dfly red is garbage for the money, measure an order of magnitude worse than the Tempotec Sonata HD pro costing only $50.

MQA does not add extra detail - it actually removes it. There is no layering or tinkering. You can see…

The E44 looks great and has been on my radar for a while... I just hate that they stuck the cables out instead of giving me jacks to plug…

When it was released it was quite groundbreaking, I do admit. It also has lots of convenience features that - while I wouldn't use it - are…

Ask yourself if you really need balanced (and a 789) to start with... If balanced is neccessary, the [Hidizs S9…

It's really cute, but the features on it can be done in your computer, and you can get equally good/better measuring gear for less than…

Modern Topping offerings measure better for the same price/cheaper. They also have the A30 pro for a bit more, which provides more power…

Depends on use case. If I'm gaming, I'd rather not pay for an 8 core CPU when I'm GPU bound. A 6 core is plenty and offers the same in…
