I agree with this. The welcome bar takes up a lot of valuable screen space and it's not a great look. I hope at most it's meant to be temporary because the site's content should be able to speak for itself. I've redesigned customer portals before to get rid of that text on the home page. It muddies the portal's information hierarchy and unlike those portals I've redesigned, there's no need here to fill space for the sake of filling space due to a lack of content. Getting rid of that bar alone would make the titles of the Latest Activity columns plus 1-2 threads in each column visible above the fold. I'm also on 1440p. Half an ultrawide minus taskbar, or 1720x1400 to be exact. The content below the fold is in three columns as expected for that screen width. The Latest Activity columns don't collapse to one column until you're at or below 750 pixels wide.

Impressive. If reviews for this were widely available when I was buying the SX8200 Pro, I may have gone with the Gold P31 instead. In theory, its superior power efficiency mentioned in this AnandTech review would be good for a laptop too. It seems that SK Hynix didn't have the Gold P31 start making the rounds in the press until mid-late August though.

I also have the XPG SX8200 Pro as I got the 1 TB version for my laptop a couple of months ago. It's a new Ryzen 7 4800H laptop, but unfortunately, it's still limited to PCIe 3.0, so my choice boiled down to either the SX8200 Pro or the Sabrent Rocket. I was seeing a better price on the SX8200 Pro and stacked a Newegg coupon on top of it. At the time that I bought the SX8200 Pro, the 970 EVO cost about $45 more. It did get a price cut recently, but if I was going to spend what it cost before, I would rather have a PCIe 4.0 SSD (for a motherboard that would support it) instead of a Samsung. Meanwhile, the SX8200 Pro has been great so far.

I love this setup for music. I'm always impressed by the soundstage and the depth whenever I listen. I don't have many audio enthusiast friends, so It's by default the best system I've assembled and heard, but it also has a very high WAF. Even the Rythmik D15SE beautifully disguises itself as an end table. Unfortunately, I hardly listen to it now because I haven't turned on the TV much in the past couple of years. My TV and A/V receiver are both seriously in need of an upgrade, and I really want to upgrade the TV to a 65" LG OLED, but if I'm not turning it on, what's the point? Desktop Workstation Wharfedale Diamond 10.0 bookshelf speakers TSC T100-110 10" ported downfiring subwoofer SMSL Q5 Pro 2.1 channel amplifier I used to have a Virtue Audio TWO.2 before the Q5 Pro. I accidentally blew out the TWO.2 when I was moving my desk and the speaker wires still connected to the back of the amp fell off the desk, landed right on the coax terminals of my UPS, and tripped the circuit breaker for the room. The Q5 Pro has better bass and the digital display and remote control are nice, but the TWO.2 was better balanced and more detailed overall, and also just a finely crafted piece of hardware.

Shopping for active noise cancellation as a feature made comparisons difficult. It's a value-added feature that doesn't directly translate to SQ from the cans themselves, and people don't often compare SQ between ANC and non-ANC headphones. Despite how much I dislike them as a speaker company, I admit that I gave Bose a much longer look than expected with a used pair of QuietComfort 35 II's.

Hi all. Thanks to @UltraMegafor the link to here. It's funny, I've been part of the old site for nearly a decade, but I didn't participate regularly because I either wasn't following industry news or upgrading my machine. Now that I'm beginning to focus on these things again, I was spending more time on the old site posting in that damn "We Are Live" thread than actually following the hardware. You know it's bad when you can't even go on a forum to find the content you want, and instead spend more time exasperated at how the new direction of the forum violates every principle you've learned and absorbed professionally. I'm glad to see a lot of familiar usernames here, even if we haven't had direct exchanges before. I was never super active on the old site, but the familiarity helps set my expectations of this community and the level of discussion I hope to see continue here.
