  1. Nope. By the time I had enough worth cashing out, the exchanges I was familiar with stopped supporting it. I hate you both ?
  2. Good afternoon everyone! Everyone should be up to date now, please let me know if there is any edits that need made!
  3. In, Simmons572 (and only this account this time.....) And yes I know I am late lol
  4. Okay that was a mistake.. I just sabotaged myself on a bunch of PPD using my old FLDC username. Just ignore that ?
  5. Off to the races! Had to shut off the R9 Fury X due to tripping the circuit breaker, but we got the 980 ti, 1080, Vega 64, and 2070 going strong.
  6. My apologies for the delay in update folks, the spreadsheet is now up to date. Fantastic setups everyone!
  7. This is something that will be corrected soon. For now, I will just provide the direct link.
  8. Finally got a slow day teleworking, so I have everything updated now. Welcome to the club @Dasparx!
  9. GDI... I just fixed that like not even 2 weeks ago............
  10. Hey folks, time for an update for this rig. So ever since I moved back in February, this lovely little system has become my portable VR/Streaming rig. I am absolutely loving beat saber, and definitely need to grind harder to get further into Expert+(+) difficulty. However, the 6600k in this system is definitely showing its age. I was absolutely shocked to see a CPU bottleneck, but I guess 4 threads is no bueno. So I am currently in the process of waiting for parts to ship the the second revision of this build. I intend to replace the CPU/Mobo and upgrade to a 10700, as well as add in an additional 1TB SSD. Hopefully I can get some photos taken while I work on this. And also, since it is such a process to disassemble and reassemble this thing, I intend to stream the rebuild tomorrow (Thursday, 1Oct) on Twitch. Check me out on my Twitch if you all want to observe this madness!?
  11. Done :thumbs_thumbsupup: Also done :thumbs_thumbsupup:
  12. Sounds good bud, thanks for clarifying! I mean, I guess in your defense, those JBL's are my Dad's which he bought new in '84, so I respect it. Also added your retired "equipment" :drunk:
  13. So I have a question for ya, for clarity sake: What is the Sony AF-7? Google is not helping me here The mirage 7-msi, is there a specific model for this one? Quite the impressive setup, thanks for contributing to the madness! Also, let me know if I missed anything aside from the 2 I already asked about. It sounds like your highend may be suffering more than anything else. Have you confirmed that your speakers are capable of outputting those sounds? (I.E. reducing the volume and getting close to the speakers to see if you can spot the details) My theory is it may have something to do with either nodal alignment, or sound treatment. However, if you have tried my test, then it may be something with the amplification, or the preprocessing of the audio. Those Polks should be capable of full range audio, maybe with the exception of a bit of manufacturer tuning for specific output. Another suggestion may be try messing with the outputs your speakers are connected to on the receiver. I noticed with my buddy's setup, he had some issues where a preset audio mode was doing some processing to essentially remove certain frequencies from certain channels. Especially since you are running what appears to be a 2.1 channel setup on a 7.2 channel receiver, there may be some preprocessing on the head unit that is just cutting frequencies given a specific audio mode.
  14. is that supposed to be blue potates
  15. Jesus guy, you've been holding out on the audio side of things! You should drop into the the Home Theatre Audio thread and post what you got.. Now back on topic, loving that mobo choice E, look forward to seeing more updates!
  16. Updated my entry. As said in the headphone thread, had to replace my oDAC over the weekend. While I was hooking up my turntable, I set a ground spike through my audio gear and the only thing that took a hit, fortunately, was the the oDAC. Still sucks but it be like that. Also, since I guess it is relevant, I added my pair of Schiit Sys's to my entry. I wasn't using them before due to not having the turntable, but now they are re-implemented. Somehow, I ended up with 2 despite only purchasing 1. Schiit just told me to keep 'em, so that was sick. Use them both as passive toggles, 1 for out to either my Asgard or Darkvoice (speaker vs headphone toggle), and 1 for in from the turntable or the dac to the amp (PC vs Turntable toggle)
  17. @axipher @jpmboy @Nammi @NavJack27 @xlen Got you all added to the spreadsheet, let me know if you see anything that needs adjusted! Had to replace my oDAC over the weekend. While I was hooking up my turntable, I set a ground spike through my audio gear and the only thing that took a hit, fortunately, was the the oDAC. Still sucks but it be like that.
