The x850xt isnt that much of a downgrade compared to the 3850 and 4670.

That's the ultimate system in theory, in practice it is seriously flawed in the most important aspects. That video card will have incompatibilities with dos and Windows 98 3D titles, anything beyond a Geforce FX is a bad choice, and in the sound department Windows 98 is half midi and half EAX, WinXP is all EAX, a simple SB Live + SB AWE + softmpu configuration would have been a much better choice. Basically it's impossible to have a nice system for Dos, w98, and wXP

Karl you are a genius! Love your channel!

Luton?

If you can't tell the difference at least 8 out of 10 times during a double blind test, then it's all in your head. Placebo effect, confirmation bias, wishful thinking, take your pick.

It can also play Sega and NEC TURBOGRAPHX-16 in America. for the 3" CD Form factor games for handheld devices. It plays each device invented on Sega and NEC, plus Pioneer Games.

You might have to change all 80 capacitors with new ones!! After the replacement, it will last 30+ years more

I used a pair of cheap RCA cables and it got rid of your accent.

Incredible! Now please, sell it to me.

You need to play with a CRT, much better!

Great video, the author is more knowledgeable than me. I'm upgrading my audio system and considering replacing my cheap cables. I had but lost an article that explained what makes a good or bad cable. Different impeadence from source and return REQUIRES a capacitance that needs to be at a certain level. Too high causes frequency rolloff in the upper frequencies too low and the total signal degrades. at a certain point the capacitance is just right, any lower WON'T make a difference but may cause other problems. The tests in this video suggests all of these cables probably have about the same capacitance. I saw one reviewer ( to be kept nameless) compare a dirt cheap cable to a three thousand dollar snake oil ( in my opinion) cable. He tested the cables A B blind folded, and preferred B because he found the treble was too harsh in A, he felt B was warm and natural. Perhaps he should have lowered the treble when listening to A, but obviously cable B was restricting the upper frequencies, perhaps having too high a capacitance. By the way, cable B was the $3000 one.

I get the impression either CQM was missing some low-pass filtering the other chips had or maybe it had some quantization problems introducing extra higher harmonics.

Howdy. Assuming the gear is High End. Lancaster HiFi says there is a difference between interconnects and shows measurements to back it up. Regards.

the big problem with getting an amp like this is, if the amp needs any sort of major service to the V-FET circuitry, you need a rocket scientist to fix the thing, I know from people who tried to fix Sony's many V-Fet amps from that era, they are very difficult to correctly get fully working again.

So… there are measurable differences.

How is the exchange rate for “half a monkey”? 😂

What are the controls to this FRIGGIN GAME????? How do I punch the zappy robobitch?

When I replaced a Marantz CD6006 (used as a transport only) with an Audiolab 9000CDT transport - both into the same Teac NT-503 dac over the same cable - I heard a significant improvement in terms of quieter background, more detail, etc.

great video thanks a lot. I'm obsessed with this game. It is marvelous

i assume you also fix the problems with games when the CPU speed is over 2.0GHz on windows 98? and also the problems with DirectX as installing 9.0 causes some older DirectX games like The Need for Speed SE to not work.

😂😂😂 this video is a lie . Complete lie , only applies to these who use very low quality systems or have hearing problems or simply don't know their music to catch difference. There are many variables here and in many cases good cable will make a nice difference. In some cases for some people it will not make a difference, room acoustics make far bigger difference of course and if someone throw speakers into untreated room those nuances that cables bring may not be heard at all while same set up in a room with good acoustics will be heard very clearly . Also that AQ cable you show could a china made fake ...

Different horses for different courses. Short cable runs well, yeah, let's say cabling can be subjective. However, if one's system also happens to integrate a multi-channel setup too. To keep the noise floor to a minimum one really needs to go with shielded cables. Unshielded cables can often act as antennas for attracting RF, and the longer the cable, the better the antenna! Probably explains why when I used to disconnect my Heights and surrounds within 10 minutes, the noise floor used to come back down to satisfactory levels. The more cables I shield, the quieter the room becomes. In fact, the last group of cables I shielded were my HDMI's and Lo behold, the room became slightly quieter yet again. When friends came around, I used to show them loud it goes. Nowadays, I prefer to press pause and show them how quiet it goes. None of them gets it, of course 😂

When switching on the bedroom TV, I could hear the signal even before the soundbar came on. Managed to make it up to 80% quieter with an entry-level HDMI shielded cable. However, being extremely sensitive to this particular type of noise, and after putting up with it for over 6 months, I ended up purchasing its stable mate flagship cable. Now, the faint background signal noise has totally disappeared 🥳 Conclusion; many different forms of shielding!

What is it with the accent? LOL. It's like a mix of ten different ones all spoken at the same time.

A hooker is much better choise then a cable, made my day !!!

*Just buy decent quality RCA cables $20 a pair and it will be great for any system.* 😂😂😂😂

Car Audio is important. Bad rcas give alternator interference coming through speakers. Triple shielded twisted solves this. They cost more.

AQ are well known for their rip-off products.

I have had two sets of Ns-1000M ... I liked them, but after listening and watch GR-Research "Danny"s upgrade on them , I'm not so sure anymore.... ha ha ha :D

How do you slow down the CPU in order to corect for speed issues (or even start) some old DOS titles? or properly initialize sound in games like DOTT, Highway Hunter, etc ??

14:42 "these two cards are the only 3D accelerators from the era that were capable of running 3D games at a reasonnable level". Other cards were rubish". Well, as you stated initially, you couldn't find a PowerVR card...

Shit, this is your famous Dragon! Here I have Vega on my channel - that's what it sounds like.

You are giving missed information about gold transistors. Sony TA-N90ES also use same gold transistors. And also after 95 all top model es series integrated amp are use same gold transistors

The Virgin Sound Blaster 16 Users VS. The Chad Ensoniq Soundscape S-2000 Listeners

The ESS Audiodrive ES18689 was better!

have same board. it can work with c2d (with pin mod, some volt mod), up to x6800 so you can get an ultimate performance, get you bios updated to c2d version (from vogons), and you're good.

Beautiful! I wish I had one to match my Cygnus Power Amplifier.

Just picked one of these bad boys up - waiting for it to arrive. Found your channel whilst looking it up - glad I did. Great videos! Have you looked into the Yamaha TG300? Pre XG and with a distinctly different sound from Yamahas later XG modules. I think it’s well worth a look!

I have the Sony cdp-xa-7es, and the ta-n80 es, and the ta-e90 es. I love my system.

In Akustik doesn't want to sell cables either. In any case, the cable capacity is a secret. This is not a secret with the Belden 1800F. 85 pF/m

You can test if there were errors in your recording process. Record twice the same track with same cable. If the two recording cancel out each other, there’s a difference in cable. If they don’t, there’s an error in your recording process.

I had a Voodoo2 and a friend of mine a banshee. When we had a Lan party both cards had a good performance, never know he had a slower GPU. Maybe because he had a K6/2 cpu and I a normal K6 🤷

My Dad&Mom bought me an ACE TONE organ which seems prophetically lead me to be a Roland Boss user which then working for the main distributor company in Indonesia since early 1990 then be my best favourite collabs company compared to other world top brands distributed by my office: KORG, Technics, Ensoniq, EMU, CASIO, Rodgers, Johannus, Fostex, AKG, etc some no more but we are still friends) until now even though Roland Group is no more with this company. Rest in Peace Sensei Ikutaro Kakehashi San. Thank you for keeping the musical We Design The Future on. Cheers!

I still remember the into of that game like it was yesterday, the athmosphere of the first act blew me away at the time.

Wow, I had an Ensoniq Soundscape and had no idea it had MT-32 support, but considering the results here, yeah, I am probably happier for having not known, as I would have been convinced my card was broken. Edit: wow, immediate nostalgia blast for some of those DOOM MIDIs, haha. And Duke Nukem 3D too!

i remember going to buy this exact card at some unknown dealer first when it came out and i was so happy with it

Real proper overview and comparison mate! Much appreciated.

I can not say this enough... i seen a 20k price tag on some audioquest cables..20k!!! Who in there crack head mind will pay that?

cool that you have the box. This game was always a favorite of mine, even though I only played the first room from the demo back in 1995. I might have the demo on a PC Gamer disc somewhere?
