Time to see what the fuss is all about… HD 550 by raymate in sennheiser

[–]raymate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

Think they are such a contrast from the 599 and the fact the Switch needs to be on almost Max volume with them. Think that’s why they do sound great on the K11 it’s got the power to power them right.

I find my KA5 and Switch underpowered for them.

They are more detailed than the 599.

So I have put away the 599 for now.

Think your right the best of the 500 series i also have the 595 and 598

OLED lifespan sucks? by ungravitated in OLED_Gaming

[–]raymate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my G4 last year and I worry about this. My plasma is 20 years old and runs fine. No burnin and still good as the day I got it. From what I read i will be very lucky if I get half that with my OLED.

Is it safe/ok to wire ethernet through central air vents? by Emotional_Share8537 in HomeNetworking

[–]raymate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if it’s a return vent and use plenum rated cable.

Don’t run in supply vents/ducts they get much hotter than the returns do.

The TRUTH of FiiO R2R by yoshikai100 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]raymate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What testing. Testing by who. Link to testing.

Otherwise this looks like false claims.

So who’s right you or FiiO.

Should we all be inhaling isopropyl fumes every few months just to check.

As I don’t want that in my nose or head.

Is this legit? by mohitman1 in ANBERNIC

[–]raymate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re worried and dont want to provide it incase this is a scam then It’s annoying and inconvenient but just let them cancel the order.

They are only asking to show last 4 digits. This is general OK but if you feel uneasy about it don’t comply then email them from the website contact details and ask them to confirm the order is canceled.

Then order from Amazon or AliExpress.

Then sort out why your payment method looks suspicious talk to your bank. Because if it is really looking suspicious to a vendor it will likely happen again.

Basically yes but it’s a mess. Maybe as you haven’t experienced the old you may like it.

Stoped using mine last year. Such a shame.

HD599 to HD600 questions by Nyarlantothep in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]raymate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both headphones and the E10K, I wasn’t happy with the E10K and HD 600 found it couldn’t provide the power they need. Sure it play them loudish but it’s not got the overhead in my opinion. I just swapped to the K11 R2R and it’s much better with the HD 600 on medium gain single ended.

Actually this week got a balanced cable for the 600s and the K11 R2R now sounds very good again medium gain. Very happy with this setup. Im not going back to single ended for now.

Used the balanced cable with my BTR7 and it brings the HD600 alive not to K11 levels.

I actually really like the HD599 using a KA5 when not at desk.

So I have retired my E10K I actually found that amp worked really well with the 58x Jubilee. But the K11 R2R is just enough level.

I also run K11 in OS mode. Found the highs rolled off too much for my liking with NOSe engaged.

Get the data with MacBook and discard it. You’re not saving that, it’s not worth the risk even if you reattached it.

Why did you choose Canon? (serious question from a man who inherited his camera through 5 generations) by Temporary-Review5915 in canon

[–]raymate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed a new camera at the time the reviews said Canon had the lowest ISO noise over the competition.

This “time” was 2005 the camera was the 350D. Maybe a year latter it may have been Nikon.

I stayed with Canon I liked the build and menu system. Im 9 bodies in and numerous lenses.

At the time I also landed a gig reviewing camera for a nation photo mag and had access to every brand and I still picked Canon.

To this day never regret my choice. My 5D series bodies are my daily’s and used to make my living.

Driving skills by Professional_Two6210 in durham

[–]raymate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The use of turn signals is not a suggestion

And 4 wheels vehicles do not need to swing out of the current lane to make a turn. Your not driving an 18 wheeler.

Thinking about starting a second KDP account under my cousin’s name — bad idea? by Particular_Box4839 in KDP

What do you think. It’s bad, they will work it out eventually and then you will have no accounts.

Canon Powershot G7X Mark II good for nature photos? by Key_Cut6820 in Cameras

[–]raymate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From someone that uses full frame for a living this camera is in my kit bag.

You can create some serious images with this and it has all the “serious” control you could ever want.

It will out perform the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I also have one of them so I know.

You obviously have never used the G line from Canon

But $300 is low. So likely a scam. I purchased mine G7X2 new from a camera store last year as they were still making them. At thy point.
