They'd be stupid to put something new out til the demand started falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audeze, an expensive and legit "serious" headphone company (have got a set of their LCD-2's) have announced a new product that seems to be the next best thing. Not expecting any/many to understand, but if interested it's available cheaper as a pre-order The head tracking to me is the killer - as good as the other stuff I have is, it's the link I've been missing. If you've ever played with dolby headphone, SBX, Astro, surround headphones etc before this maybe the one to actually do it properly. Not pushing them on anyone, but if interested in this stuff, the pre-order price maybe something you want to get onto. (nothing to do with me - no kickbacks etc - just saying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lose power about once per month here. The last time I checked you had to give your right nut in exchange for about 5 minutes of run time from power loss.

Hopefully will keep the server and network going for at least an hour, maybe 2 - enough time to finish what I have to and save everything. Most outages here are less than an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
