So update on this.
I do like my Fulla 2, it does run a touch warm. The main problem was the old Logitech amp I was temporarily using. The tone it was pushing through was very strong in the mids which made them overbearing and harsh, and there wasn't much fidelity. I would imagine because it was...
They wouldn't and that's not what I got them for (to correct the speakers). Just wanted a cleaner and better sound card.
At one point in time with a specific driver I was getting bunch of audio jitter with that sound card. Newer driver got rid of it. I think it still clicks every once in a...
OH I'm not having that kind of problem that I could tell. It actually pushes them fairly well. What I meant at not very good at music was related to the freq. response curve being a bit spikey, the tone of them in the mid to kinda high area... odd bright spots. A review of them confirmed that...
lol. I just have an old Logitech THX system whose speakers I kept blowing up so now it's powering a pair of low end Polks from BB that aren't very good at music. That's ok as it's just a hold me over until I get around to building something completely different.
So for now the Fulla 2 is a toy...
Anyone have any recommendations for a USB Soundcard for higher quality DACs than what's in my HTPC Laptop (Thinkpad T520).
I mean eventually i can use the display port audio out to a proper amplifier but I don't have that yet.
So now for music, movies, just would like something with really...
I corrected the title and added "cheap" since that made more sense :)
Well with TVs I'm hoping the switch to LED backlights will help with longevity with the inverter or psu of CCFL backlights being a problem at times. Less overall power draw and heat too \o/.
I forgot to mention that my own...
Yeah, my 690 was subjected to pretty hot ambient temps during the summer so that might have contributed. Interestingly a buddy of mine has a 690 too that was bought from place and time with the same problem *shrugs*. Still rather disappointing for a machine of that kind of build.
I went around...
hah, yeah I've done em... 8-10 years ago lol. I Haven't had any bad cap problems till recently other than on a TV backlight PSU but I just pointed it out to my dad (that it was likely bad caps) and let him have at it which was the problem and has been fine since.
I found www.badcaps.net which...
Also, I'm curious to whether having a machine in a higher ambient temp environment (90+F) vs a cooler one (60s) would noticeably decrease the lifespan of capacitors... I would think so.
I'm probably going to end up replacing the caps on the mobo of my Dell Precision 690 just because there's only like 4 of them that need replaced and I want that machine to work.
I've done this before with an old Epox 8RDA+, pissed me off when the caps went bad on that one too cuz I really...
I ended up using the OpenVPN built into Pfsense 2.1 and i'm really impressed with it. It wasn't that hard to setup and it was pretty well streamlined in. There's even a package you can install (called Client Export) that will auto generate client installation files for windows...THAT is slick...
