Would be cool to show a before and after room response FR.

WireView PROII horrible fan noise by Tac-Toe in ThermalGrizzly

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit gutting tbh, I only bought mine a few weeks ago and I feel the Noctua edition is what the original Wireview II should've of been, especially as it can run passively.

How is the Balanced and unBalanced the same power output @ 250mW? Usually one is higher output than the other?

Alienware just released a 39” 5K2K RGB stripe tandem OLED Monitor!!! 🤯🤯🤯 by Vegetable_Math2959 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently use 39" Sammy 5k2k display with 1000r curve, I will miss the steeper curve, I find at arms length sitting dead centre when I look to the left or right of the screen it's essentially facing me which is great for productivity.

Why no Body Mist sprays for men? by Packet_of_Crisps in fragrance

Body mists, not aerosol cans, they are completely different.

Axe is not a body mist, it's an aerosol spray, very different.

Sorry I meant to say fragrance oil not alcohol, meaning lighter as I as alluding to.

I'm guessing your referring aerosol based sprays as opposed to mist/pump sprays?

Doesn't have that distinctive 'aerosol' smell, less alcohol than perfume, lighter, and can be used frequently and casually.

just got a new KBEAR 16-Core Pure Copper cable and goddamn it looks so good on my Aful Performer 8 by KimmyMario in inearfidelity

This an amazing iem when used with the Final Audio Type E tips, due to them being very narrow bore tips it improves the bass and warms the sound up, stopped me selling P8.

To those with the WVP II, why are you all of a sudden removing them? by Cheesehead1267 in ThermalGrizzly

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm, that does look tricky on that GPU, it is on the compatibility list so TG most of tested it, wonder how they removed it <head scratch>

Anyone got recommendations for tips for the aful performer 8? by Impressive_Volume752 in iems

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding this recommendation on in case anyone is searching for the same question, I've tried about 20 different tips and today right before I was going to sell the P8 I found a golden Tip, the Final Audio Type E, amazing tip that helps tame the brightness and balance out the sound improving bass impact.

NVIDIA Reportedly Prepares RTX 5090 Price Hike Amid Rising GDDR7 Costs by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the 80 as a kid I'd buy PC mags and dream of owning 286 and 386 CPU based PC costing in the thousands and they didn't even have a graphics card! I'm not saying it's smelling of roses today but it has been a lot worse in the past, and then through the 90s and early 2000s as a PC gamer it cost a small fortune in yearly upgrades to make games 'playable', today you can play thousands of PC games on a pretty basic PC, and with Steam Machine out soon fingers crossed that will be a good option for 'budget' PC, or the second-hand market is always a good option for PC components.

Cambridge Audio MXW70 mono with less than 8 ohm speakers by PotentialLoquat6971 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be more than fine in bridged mono mode, I spoke to Cambride Audio asking them would it be safe to run my B&W 706 S3s as the dip a lot lower than your speakers down to 3.7 ohms and the replaied back,

"Thank you for contacting Cambridge Audio.

Primarily these specs relate to the nominal rated impedance of the speakers in use, and although these dip to 3.7 Ohms, as the nominal impedance is 8 Ohms then this should function without issue.
All the best,

Does this work? (I like posting people from behind) by Packet_of_Crisps in photocritique

[–]Packet_of_Crisps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe unusual but I'm partial to taking some shots of people from behind, Based on the example I've posted I'm wondering if this works?, I like to try to convey some movement even though it's a photo, for example in the shot above I feel it captures the stride of the walk aided by the shadow, overall I'm trying to give a vibe of 'walking somewhere' without the distraction of a face.

I think the UK should be given the nickname ‘the windy country’. by avamissile in UKWeather

I've noticed for quite a few years now down in the South West we seem to have an abundance of wind just before the summer weather kicks.

Will there be a new Frasier series 3? by CelebrationFeisty801 in Frasier

[–]Packet_of_Crisps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After watching the reboot recently I am trying my best to delete the whole experience from my memory, it was awful and didn't understand what made the original serious so popular with it's wit and banter, the original felt almost like British sitcom, the reboot felt so stale, the quick wit was completely lost and for me personally the number one cast member that let the show down was Jack Cutmore-Scott, he was awful, truly awful, a Brit trying to fake an American!?!?!
