    The life and times of a laptop with an added poll for your curiosity.

    Yesterday, I upgraded my laptop doubling the RAM and maxing it out. It already has a good solid state drive. Can you believe I bought it in late 2011, and I've been using it since. I think it will last for another year before getting too slow, so I guess I will be shopping for a new one...

    CD/DVD/Bluray/whatever drive for PC that does SACD? Resolved!

    Is there an optical disc drive that can go into a computer that will correctly play back the SACD layer on an SACD disc, with correct output to a 5.1 audio card? I am not finding one, the internet says no, what does AK say ? OS is Windows 10 at the moment.

    Computer Noise

    Hi all, First of all allow me to apologize if I am posting this in the wrong forum but it does relate to watching films, etc. through my Hi Fi. Granted I am using an old system, a Quad 303/33 setup with Beovox 5700 speakers. It all sounds great, especially when playing a CD/DVD but as soon...

    Computer CD-R Drive Differences

    Old Hardware Nostalgia

    Inspired by the similar topic on one other computer-related forum, I'd love to hear your input(s), if any! Do you collect and/or remember old hardware? Do you still play any of the old games? If so which ones, and/or which ones you remember from back in a day? I'm primarily referring to PC...

    Turn the Humble Pi into an Audiophile Quality Tube DAC/Amp

    Pi 2 Design has announced a follow up to the innovative 503HTA tube hat. The 502HTA (ok, not the most exciting name) is a full size shield that offers the same single tube grounded triode with Class-A Fet buffer. But they have reworked the design for much lower noise while the new layout makes...

    For any computer people from the early 90's

    I have an opportunity to get a Hewlett Packard 3000 series minicomputer, I believe its the 917 series PA-RISC, probably from around 1992. Two reasons, its mounted in a huge rack that I can stuff my rack gear into, but also, having dreams of turning it into the ultimate dos box, or something...
