I did burn out. Still can't write anything, and I've been out of the review business since late 2018. I don't regret doing it for so long, really, but after 11 years of it not even coming close to leaving the four figure yearly income bracket doing it I just had to stop. My income had actually...

Thanks - the site does have the ability to watermark, but also has enough ability to block downloading that I haven't bothered with it yet. Every image I post on social media is always watermarked, however. And nobody but paying customers gets the full resolution out of the D800.

You'd be surprised - the hardest part is finding a storm active enough to do lightning frequently. From there, as long as it's dark enough, all you need to do is fire off a bunch of long exposures in the general direction of the lightning.

Yeah, I thought about doing some YT stuff myself but I'm still so burned out on power supply review writing I can't even get any novel writing going for long. I'm not sure I even want to see that huge FastAuto again, and it's literally sitting in a box in the next room. That's the price I pay...

Haven't talked to Tazz in ages, but I'm fairly certain he's still having health issues. I don't have much hope myself the site will ever be the same as it was, assuming he can even bring it back at all. Hope he can... all 446 of my reviews are backed up if he needs them.

Tony's working on overhauling the whole site - be patient, folks.

Yeah - I was born in Oklahoma, but I'm Canada's problem these days :D NCIX has always been Canadian.

That's news to me :p

Rumour has it there's one more due to show up at CES. IIRC Ultra is the only one planning to actually release their 2kW anytime soon.

Nobody... it's pretty much for bragging rights only ;)

Uh, no, I like the one I'm testing because it's a better made unit than most of the ones Ultra's used before. At no point did I claim they'll have a 0% failure rate. At no point did I claim they were the best on the planet - that's not true either. It's not even the best built one I own... that...

An excellent point - people love to complain. A couple years back, FSP released a model that started having a higher than average failure rate, the FSP530-60GNA. Over at OCForums, where I do most of my posting, we had perhaps one person a month posting about a failure with theirs. Immediately...

What about post #40? Clearly you're more concerned about quality of customer service than the quality of the PSU itself. Fair enough. I'm the exact opposite... I want mine to last for years without having to open it up and fix it, and not cost a fortune in buying it. The Andyson made Ultra...

Which one? The OEM Andyson units aren't even on the market yet. Actually, that Hiper in your profile is better proof - it too is OEM Andyson. One of the lower end models, but Andyson nonetheless. Sunbeam also uses that particular OEM. It's mostly the X-Connect (the Youngyear one) known for...

I've been an electronics tech for 18 years, don't work for Ultra, and when it comes to electronics I do consider myself "in the know." You'll have to show me proof they're made from crap parts, because I have seen the exact opposite from Ultra's OEM Andyson stuff (they just started using this...
