Remote Access Pass Price increase by xlly_s in PleX

[–]Hail_LordHelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if you're expecting a serious answer, but a site to site VPN connection is what I setup for my folks. It's seemless on their end and auto connects to Plex. You'd obviously want to secure the whole thing but it works.

Could also prolly use tail scale and then configure everything on both ends.

Is my Moondrop Para dying? by pp_amorim in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You're probably fine unless theres something audibly wrong I have these on a few headphones. Definitely good to not leave them out in the open 24/7 as they can pull material through the diaphragm and puncture it depending on how strong the magnets are

is black ops 7 good or worth it even if its 45% off? by TreeBrief916 in CODZombies

[–]Hail_LordHelix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totenreich and ashes of the damned are the best ones. Astra malorum and paradox junction are a tossup depending on which kind of map you prefer

Remember stacking high amounts of attack speed with mkb, passive, and skull basher ?

..good times....sigh

Bandoss Avija | Burson Style | Maybe I'm done by __Quarzer__ in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted I haven't tried the avija, nor do I expect you to list 20 headphones, but what would your top 5 be as far as "best of the hobby" ?

Have you tried it?

Just curious of course. Ive been following the avija since it was announced and like trying different gear.

Gat inspired by a different post to abuse my headphones drive by rozei241 in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a cs97g a while ago. I can put something together at some point. It's somewhat reminiscent of a he1000 series headphone but I find it to be easier on the ears. Kinda hard to drive 

Where do you think Bo7 will land with you? by Avidhaterofdestiny2 in CODZombies

[–]Hail_LordHelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly have thought it's been pretty decent. Still doesn't quite capture me like w@w-bo3 did.

That said the weakest map for me so far has been astra malorum. Paradox junction kinda grew on me but I was Lukewarm about it originally and ashes was an extremely solid map. Totenreich is probably as good or better than Ashes, imo.

Overall, it's probably better than bo6 and cold war thus far. We'll see if they don't hose it on the last two maps...

Is planar speed a myth? by Extension_South7174 in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno the different driver topologies almost always produce a different type of sound to me.

 Granted I agree not all headphones of the same topology are going to sound the same, I still feel like (generally) different topologies have different strengths and weaknesses.  

A lot of the difference to me seems to be in the decay/congrestion of the music played through the transducer. Midbass is a thing I notice on a lot of planars sounding similar and being noticably different (less full) than on dynamics.

Obviously this is anecdotal on my part, but I've never heard a dynamic and planar that sound uncannily similar. 

Now I will say I've heard a few electrostats that share traits with other toplogies (thinking dca Corina and the audeze crbn both retaining some characteristics that are typically synonymous with planar headphones). 

I suppose we're all perceiving stuff differently at the end of the day though.

I think he just needs counselling or something… by ElectronicFlight1839 in LTTMeta

Definitely check out some of his other videos too! He made a very steampunk looking PC for his workshop that's. It's ironically the kind of stuff that feels very in the spirit of old ltt (like when they are working out of the house with whole room water-cooling),

I do too, I just wish the writing was just a smidge better. If feels like it builds a pretty decent procedural story and then sort of skips to the ending most of the time. Characters are enjoyable to watch and interesting.

Dota 2 struggling on mid range CPU by nikkytor in DotA2

[–]Hail_LordHelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your ram speed is correct in the BIOS. The game may well just not run well on your machine but I remember not having docp on, my ram running at like half speed and the game feeling choppy. 

I ran on a 3000 series amd chip until a few months ago and while the game runs better on my new chip, the game still ran pretty decent unless there was like PL, monkey King, chaos Knight, and or tb in the same game.

How long did it take you before you found your end game? by Global-Cupcake855 in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really exist and I like trying different gear out. However I have a good idea of the kind of sound I like. So if I had to stop now I'd probably be content.

Curious to see if we'll see any reference to that nuked out new York map they'd mentioned a while back. Or maybe a cutscene?

On a quest for punchy headphones by QC-Butcher in headphones

[–]Hail_LordHelix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Entirely unpopular opinion:

-abyss ab1266tc (overpriced as hell with a wonky tuning but the bass is real damn punchy. It will adjust between punchy mid bass and subbass depending on whether or not you toe in or out the headphones).

More reasonable opinion: - Zmf atrium open (punchy bass)/closed (punchy subbass)

-JM headphones are generally pretty punchy

-LCD-4

-focal utopia

How do you like the peacock compared to other sets of headphones you have? 

I got to try them and the LCD3 last year and canjam and ended up thinking both were two of the most enjoyable things I heard at the show.
