@alwayssts How in the Gods name is preferring good audio is being a boomer? There are almost no headsets that would actually reasonably compete with decent headphones in terms of detail and tonality, especially wireless ones since a lot of good drivers require a decent-ish amount of power to...

Or, you know, if you want you can just go with a good hi-fi pair of headphones and a USB mic. Not EVERYONE needs a headset.

“Neodymium Magnetic Drivers” I love how this is presented as some cool innovative massively important feature when this is essentially like the most ho-hum humdrum dynamic driver for any headphone.

I thought it’s been accepted that Windows 12 isn’t a thing for now and what leaks there were essentially were misinterpreting 24H2 changes, no? Am I missing something?

Supposedly there will be more of one once 24H2 hits. But if you really want to go for the throat, then you could argue that the last actual major kernel change was Vista and we’ve been just riding that ever since, so…

I mean, I think I could source you some Russian ones locally maybe and send them via DHL or whatever, if you ever up for it. Not sure if that would be worth the hassle though, since the post service and delivery is likely to be worth more than the tubes themselves, but hey, it’s an option.

I know, hopefully you aren’t completely incapable to this extent since you’re here on TPU, it’s just a comedic routine and a bit of advice if someone who DOESN’T stumbles on this thread somehow. Mechs ARE less water resistant, that is true.

@QckSilver Funnily enough, the Cyclosa was marketed by Razer at the time, from memory, as a spill-proof and “durable” model. Guess you technically tested out that claim. It’s a membrane, so that tracks, those can be very resilient until they just suddenly give ip the ghost completely.

@dirtyferret Okay then, riveting discussion, I concede the point and humbly slink back into my garbage container from where I post using an old ThinkPad.

Uh… no? The methodology for at least the Cultist version is laid out and explained well. True, it might be that there aren’t a lot of respected PSU reviewers that test them thoroughly in an actual professional manner, but that’s not a knock against the list itself. The data has to come from...

I didn’t. I just quoted the tier list itself, which was what the initial question asked for. I even said multiple times that it’s a good PSU and haven’t warned the OP one way or another except mentioning that I’d be wary of hooking up a new build to a PSU on that old of a platform (caps do go...

Bruh. Just pull off the keycaps next time, clean them under warm tap water and leave overnight to dry. Frame/base itself just wipe with a wet cloth, give a spray with compressed air or vacuum with a soft brush nozzle. It’s not exactly rocket science.

It does feel like a Rocket Lake “we just need to get something out for now” situation for them, yeah. Essentially an interim solution, although if priced well it can be not a bad thing. But as I mentioned, I don’t feel like a price war is in the cards.

The best tubes I’ve ever experienced when I owned a couple of tube amps were from some of the Russian manufacturers, like Reflektor and Voskhod. Sovtek and Svetlana are p.gud too. It, uh, might be hard to source them currently in many countries.

…but that was literally a second post in the thread where I told you that such a PSU is under the F tier in the Cultist list precisely because it is considered outdated. Not because it’s a BAD PSU, just outdated and said list is focused on providing buying advice by considering the current...
