    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    I picked-up a Presonus Temblor 10" subwoofer off Craigslist for a really good price, to try out. I'd been increasing the bass on my Kanto sub over time and wanted to see what a 10" can do. But it hasn't impressed me. I find it gives a lot of generic rumbling, sort-of like if you have a gamepad...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    Because it concerns a country you don't want to hear something potentially positive about? If I posted that a US company was aiming to create new gaming platforms, or that some Western country was overcoming challenges to successfully grow their tech industry, would you still claim it isn't...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    I don't think that's the plan, and that it's more like the government wants to get Russian companies working on infrastructure for those things. If they can produce a Russian game delivery platform, Western and other publishers can then directly choose to list their games on them, rather than be...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    Putin's ordered his government to look into creating Russia's own Steam Deck, SteamOS, and basically Steam itself The government instruction Google-translated from http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/73305 I'm curious to see what people think about the actual timeframes it might take...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    The Klipsch ProMedia and HiVi-Swans M10 Plus are a couple of 2.1 systems suggested in this thread. There may be others. I didn't try out many 2.1 systems, so I can't really comment. The Edifier s351db 2.1 setup I tried didn't give me the clarity I wanted, and the bass was too soft for my liking...

    Russia launches Games of the Future - a major competition event combining e-sports with athleticism

    Russia has launched a new annual sporting event, called Games of the Future, combining digital and physical sporting activity. It began on February 19 in Kazan, Russia, and will run until March 3rd. It is being participated in by over 100 countries, apparently including some Western states, such...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    I've had experiences that make me think I should always have a camera recording when people are working in my house, or being left alone in room with valuables in them. It's prudent to do. Better safe than sorry.

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    I will add, with the 1st amp connected and its wifi disabled with an ethernet cable, the amp, monitors, and sub are sounding great together, and practically inaudible in terms of white noise when no audio is passing through. The amp automatically goes to sleep after it's been idle for maybe 10...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    I'm currently using the amp with an ethernet cable plugged into it, to stop the wifi noise. If I put my ear right next to the subwoofer, I can still hear some extremely-faint activity sounding in the speaker, but I need to have my head immediately next to the sub to hear it. So, it's not an...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    The amp is connected to the same power strip as my PC, monitor, subwoofer, and some other stuff. The good news is that connecting it to an active ethernet cable stopped the noise. The bad news is that I have to be running an ethernet cable into the room, from outside of the room, to do that...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    The amp makes the noise even without a sound source connected to it. So, the only wires I could shorten are the stereo wires coming from the amp. The sound plays in both my monitors and my subwoofer. The sub has a well-shielded RCA cable connecting it. I tried hooking a dummy cable (a short...

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    As you might've seen in another thread, I recently got a Martin Logan Forte stereo amp, which has wifi functionality. It takes maybe 40 seconds or so for the wifi to initialise after the amp is powered-on. And until the wifi initialises, the amp is appropriately quiet, except for any audio I'm...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    Nope. It's CCA, but it could be good. If I order more wire, I'm probably going to get this stuff, and hope the stuff I get isn't oxidised when it arrives and doesn't oxidise on me later (like a bunch of the reviews say happened to theirs). This CCA stuff looks promising, because it's 14 AWG and...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    I've decided to keep the Kanto YU6s. They sound really good and are a nice contrast to the KRK 7000s, which, being mixing monitors, don't try as much to flatter the sound. Both are excellent. The KRKs sound a bit meatier and more natural, with lots of detail in the low-mids, and the YU6s make...
