spritzer Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The lundahl transformers on the output work some kind of magic, definately a step up from the zapfilter. I suppose it could have something to do with the different dac chip and transport design though, so who knows. I hear what you are saying, but I can't help but think there must be some way we can sneak some wood in there. Believe in the transformers!!

spritzer Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah, I think the last time I used Intel was a Pentium II. Same thing here. When it was time to upgrade that computer the Athlon T-bird was out and I've never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron_Dreamer Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 i had a 1GHz T-Bird running at 1.4, once. fast machine, for the time. Those were the days....15k rpm hard drive grinding away....8000 rpm 60mm CPU fan wailing....~65% efficient power supply burning up.....FUN!

Iron_Dreamer Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Justin's rig was pretty smokin', I can completely understand, Vicki. I would be doing just what you are now, if it were at all feasible. I can only imagine how it might have sounded with a better souce. Oh right, I can, probably something like the HE90/ES2/R2R system from MOA, without that silly Sennheiser coloration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well I just sent off the deposit check today, so although not a total purchase yet, I'm going to say for the sake of this thread, my last purchase, other than dinner, was a KGBH SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Not much of a gamer are you...? It's in my old system. My current mighty 5 year old XP2800+ still suffices for the games I play. (WC3, RA2, Q3 and Deus Ex basically). The Raptor hard drive made more difference than any CPU change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDD and RAM are as big a part as the CPU and GPU when it comes to ultimate performance or were you talking about RSA Raptor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
