Sold my speakers last week (nothing I've heard can compare to these Grado SR80 headphones) so I took some updated pics of the setup.

There's nothing "special" about them, they're just really good quality headphones. Infact they're so good, I'm tempted to buy even better ones from Grado.

I wasn't until I got a pair of SR-80s.  Music just isn't the same :happy:

I suppose I was, but not on the scale that I am now thanks to these headphones.

One thing though; they sound so much better with an amp. My iMac has an amplified headphone socket, and it sounds much better than anything else I've hooked them up to.

Once I've got my iPod shuffle, I'm going to be buying a dedicated headphone amp and power supply for them:

Wow, that is really expensive. I really need an amp for my sennheiser hd-580s but that costs a bit too much for me right now, heh. I was hoping it would only be 150, not 300 :(. Even unamped my headphones sound so much better for music than my klipsch 2.1s with monster cables. I tried them on my receiver when I got them over 2 years ago, and they sound way better on that then on the klipschs... Maybe I will invest in some hd-680s (if they haven't been discontinued since I last shopped for headphones) and an amp instead of klipsch 5.1 ultras in the future. BTW your imac looks awesome. I can't really see it from the picture, but I am assuming you have a nice desk too :ninja: (yeah I know that considering that its not really in the oic that is a crazy question, but whatever, I am getting desperate for a new desk). Mind sharing what it is and where you got it? I am in the market for a new desk and everytime I pm someone the desk they have has been discontinued or is only available outside the usa, lol.

Nice iBook roadwarrior

Thanks. I love this thing. I bring it just about everywhere with me. When I'm at work, I can use it to run Remote Desktop to the Dell so I can do my newsgroup downloads (which are saved on my wife's Blue & White). Too bad the network at school has the required ports blocked, so I can't control the Dell from there.

    • Nvidia outs hotfix driver for BSOD, wake from sleep, G-SYNC, Smooth Motion, NV-Failsafe

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Nvidia outs hotfix driver for BSOD, wake from sleep, G-SYNC, Smooth Motion, NV-Failsafe by Sayan Sen Nvidia today rolled out a new hotfix driver in order to fix various issues related to monitors and displays. The company notes G-SYNC-related frame pacing troubles should now be resolved on Ada Lovelace GPUs, ie, RTX 4000 series graphics cards. For anyone not familiar, G-SYNC is Nvidia's in-house proprietary adaptive synchronization tech that syncs the GPU's framerate output with the monitor's refresh rate in order to match them and eliminate screen tearing. On the topic of synchronization, Nvidia claims improved stability when gaming with Vsync or vertical sync on multi-monitor displays. The company also finally fixes a bug wherein displays would fail to wake up from sleep mode. Another bug has been resolved when certain monitors were identified as "NV-Failsafe" since the EDID information was incorrectly read by the GPU. EDID or Extended Display Identification Data of a monitor essentially contains the necessary metadata that lets a GPU understand the features and capabilities of a connected monitor. Ghosting and jittering problems as well as game crashes during the use of the Smooth Motion functionality have also been fixed with this release. Nvidia Smooth Motion feature is a driver-based AI model that delivers a seemingly "smoother" gameplay experience by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames. Here is the full changelog for the new GeForce hotfix driver 610.52: [Ada] Resolves a frame pacing issue on certain monitors when G-SYNC is enabled Resolved an issue that prevented the EDID from being read on certain monitors causing them to be identified as "NVIDIA NV-Failsafe” Improved gaming stability in multi-monitor configurations when using V-SYNC with DLSS Frame Generation Resolved an issue where certain monitors would not wake from sleep mode [World of Warcraft] Gaming stability improvements Resolved an issue that could cause jittering or ghosting in some DirectX 11 games when Smooth Motion is enabled Resolved an issue that could cause some games to crash when launched with Smooth Motion enabled General stability improvements when the system fails to create a new allocation Others in the feedback thread also point out that the hotfix patches a blue screen of death (BSOD) issue. You can provide your own feedback there too after downloading the new 610.52 driver from Nvidia's official website at this link. Keep in mind that this hotfix is not essential to install unless you are having any or all of these issues. As such you can stay on the latest available GameReady driver version 610.47.
