    Not sure I follow your logic there as it is usually software that obsoletes contemporary computers, especially in business environments. Due to the manifestation of Moore's law over the years, hardware is rarely an issue.

    Too funny but, I'm guessing, unintentional. We're on the same page although, I must admit, the field is narrowing considerably thanks to Micro$oft and Windows 11. They're doing their best to place restrictions on both the operating system you're allowed to run on your own hardware and the...

    I perused a few ASUS boards last night and found several others with the same problem. One guy even claimed he traced it to a bad solder connection and could replicate the problem on demand. I didn't mention it earlier because I figured you'd probably already run across the same thread.

    PC's are for DIY nuts. MAC's are for those who view their computer as a productivity/creativity tool and nothing more. The price of their reliability is cost and lack of control over the experience Personally If I can't tinker with it then I don't want it but I do acknowledge this also comes...

    I use Audyssey as a starting point and then fine tune EVERYTHING based on what my ears tell me. Without fail, Audyssey always says my sub is too loud, even when it's clearly not. I'm not saying it's not true in your case but you may be the first person I've ever heard suggest an SVS sub might...

    I agree with you and I'm worried about the future as it pertains to this topic. I'm a "techie" through and through but I suspect many of the younger folks anxious to go along with the proposed streaming and license based world of tomorrow don't really understand what they are giving up. How...
