    Master AI (Artificial Intelligence) Discussion/News Thread

    After seeing and reading about the personalities and tech bros who have been crying out in full throated support for AI for the previous 10odd years I wish it fails miserably for them, the power requirements, the water and cooling requirements and the very reasonable concerns regarding the scale...

    Tough choice : desktop speakers

    I’d be very tempted to try the IKM monitors https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloudmtm/?pkey=iloud-mtm-mk2-black-pair https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloudmmpro/?pkey=iloud-mm-pro-black-pair Or for a cheap option but very good sounding check out Kanto , good enough that I built a...

    FiiO BTR17

    Not fussed regarding the chips or any pops etc, I'm so not a critical listener for such things ;) , as long as it transmits a signal leading audio to my iems I'll be happy enough. I don't think it has parametric eq, it has the hiby mseb equalisation which is fine, I've used it before on a...

    FiiO BTR17

    Ahh, I’m apple/iOS so that’s why I have held off, there’s a few reports of iOS users having to use chrome browser to adjust stuff rather than the app.

    FiiO BTR17

    Cool :cool: , have you tried the phone app yet?, and if you have is your phone android or iOS?. I have this Tempotec V1 arriving tomorrow which is basically the same as the BTR17 in functionality/size with the addition of a dap with sd card, it’s using the same Hiby software as Hiby R1 so it...

    Upgrade of the day: Shorter cables

    Of course you heard a difference, the signal has 36” less distance to travel so only a complete idiot would think otherwise

    CrinEar IEMs by Crinacle

    Converting $170 to £ it’s £124, but I guess with 20% vat (in uk) of £24.80 it ends up being £150 so fair enough I guess.

    Is There or Will There Ever Be Another Singer Like Ann Wilson (Heart)?

    Introduced me to a folktronica band called Tunng with their release “mothers daughter” way back in mid 2000s as well as countless others, I’d absolutely love to spend a weekend going through his record collection. A mate from Glasgow knows him quite well as her music/album label has been...

    Is There or Will There Ever Be Another Singer Like Ann Wilson (Heart)?

    I was introduced to Jill Scott by Gilles Peterson on his R1 show way back in mid 2000’s, the track was “Golden” and soundtracked the summer of 2005 for me. https://tidal.com/browse/track/5307692?u

    Improving ASR as a member/moderator

    There’s also permanent thread bans as I have found out/experienced for pointing out/reporting hateful/misogynistic comments regarding greta thunberg on the humour thread a couple of years ago, I merely pointed out that I found “insert names of 3 political figures here” much more damaging to...
