    I spent a fair bit of time on Sunday at CES listening to various headphones. Unfortunately many of the conditions were not ideal (noisy show floor). I really liked the Audeze LCD-4. I was less of a fan of their LCD-3, the LCD-X and the LCD-XC. The Sine and iSine didn't really light my fire...

    Upgrading WiFi card in laptop

    So based on my research unless the seller listed the item's condition as "For parts / not working" the buyer is covered by the buyer eBay protections and can get their money back if it doesn't work. The This item is sold as-is with no warranty in the listing is basically irrelevant with a item...

    Upgrading WiFi card in laptop

    Hmm... So most of the eBay listings for the Intel adapter say not to use it with Lenovo or HP laptops. like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-7260HMW-WiFi-Bluetooth-4-0-PCIe-Half-Mini-Wifi-Card-/322372049570 This HP Elitebook I have was sold with the Intel 7260HMW...

    Nice Deal: Asus RT-AC68U router clone $59

    How does that work for you? Are you treating it as a discrete 2nd wireless network with unique SSID and settings, or are all the settings the same and your relying on the device to connect to whichever one has a stronger signal? My understanding is that there's no way to have a device...

    Local (LAN) Hostname IP lookup problems

    No, it's really just a Windows 10 pro box that has network shares and a lot of storage in it. The DHCP is done by the wireless router.

    Local (LAN) Hostname IP lookup problems

    I swapped out my router yesterday for a different one and now my fileserver's hostname reports the wrong IPv4 address to other systems on the LAN. The server has a static IPv4 address. Rebooting the router yesterday fixed the issue for some number of hours, but now it's back. I'm guessing...

    Upgrading WiFi card in laptop

    Has anyone tried upgrading the WiFi adapter in a laptop? Seems like it's just a matter of swapping out the old Intel HMC card for a different one. I've got a few laptops that are Wireless N (or older) that I'd like to change to AC. One HP and one Acer. It looks like I need to use an Intel...

    Perhaps easier said than done. I'm sure I don't have those lurking about. A reboot of the router seems to have fixed the issue. Now I have an unhappy Windows 8.1 box to fix that can't / won't contact Windows Update for the past few months. And of course the Windows Update repair tool says it...

    I'm not sure I've settled on anything just yet. Right now I'm really upset with some misbehavior of my network. The master browser is misreporting the IP of my file server when I use it's network name. I'm trying to figure out which machine is the master browser.

    I finally played around with the T-Mobile router today. I followed bootymonger's guide and it went smoothly. I've got it swapped in place (running the latest Merlin) replacing my Linksys E3000 (running Tomato) to see how it works / behaves.

    Audio Equipment

    Planar magnetic drivers don't really have an inherent sound signature. They have more of a lack of coloration of conventional drivers. I was referring more to whether you'd like the HE-560 or the LCD-2 with the sound signature comment. The HE-500 are a bit analytic somewhat like a studio...
  24. S

    Audio Equipment

    Yes, the HE-560's should be very decent. I think it somewhat comes down to what sort of sound signature you prefer. I'm not sure if there are Head-Fi meets around you or any CanJam events where you could hear them and others.

    Well, I guess the Askey Wi-Fi Router and the Asus TM-AC1900 are the same thing because I got the Asus, but the marking on the box also says it's a Askey Wi-Fi Router. I haven't played with it yet.
