By happy coincidence I bought a 3 meter version of that for my sub, think I got at least a tenner off it too :D I do get where your comming from about the crazy price you can pay for audio kit in general, not just cables. Last night I watched a youtube vid where this guy up in London had spent...

Agree 100%. I snagged a 3 meter set of QED Performance 40i RCA interconnects from my local branch of Audio T when I was buying my subwoofer last year. Paid £40 rather than the £90ish sticker price. Bit longer than I need right now but already had in mind the furniture revamp I mentioned...

I know what you mean about the snake oil claims, I've seen enough of it with interconnects and speaker cables. The limited testing I've been able to do in that area has told me that good quality can be had for modest amounts so I generally draw the line at £40 to £50 any more than that and the...

@JasonM I was typing up my last post and didnt realise you had also replied. Are you able to send me any links to the power cords you use please? This has been a completely alien situation for me, if they are reasonably priced, or I can find something equivalent at a more palatable price I'll...

Got distracted by the football so took a bit longer than expected... Rebuild just about complete. Just waiting on a splitter to give me a few more USB headers to control the fan lighting but otherwise everything is in and powered up. Switching to the new PSU kicked the noise up a bit so I've...

Thank god for working from home....logged off and ran to the utility room to grab an extension reel as the nearest socket is on the other side of the room. With amp cranked to max the noise is there but you have to put your ear about 6 inches from the speakers to pick it up. At "normal"...

Thanks for the reply wonko - Tried it with both onboard and AE-9, no noise from the HK when connected to either source. Tried it on the center and surround channels too for good measure, still no noise from the HK. I don't use the ACM module but I have got the card plugged into a dedicated 6...

Thanks for the suggestion, mobo only has wired networking and no BT capabilities. Wifi card (which does have BT) was removed from case during troubleshooting (see OP ;)) with no change in symptoms

Just transplanted the system. Didnt feel the need to reinstall at this point.

Fair enough - I routed the cables round the back, mounted the psu and used some plain screws with serated surface to grind the paint off down to bare metal (no sandpaper here at the mo). Thanks for the reassurance - Disconnected the rad fans at the same time as remounting the psu. Neither...

Thanks for replying Jason, I've currently got the PSU outside the case sat on a cardboard box so I think it would be fair to discount that? As for Hard drives, I've got an m2 ssd plugged into one of the motherboard sockets and nothing else so no dice there either...

Over the last few days I have been tearing my hair out trying to chase down a ground loop that has manifested. My original build was (only listing components that should be relevant) Aorus X570 Pro Motherboard Inno 3D GTX 1080 Sound Blaster AE-9 TP-Link Wifi-AC internal card. EKWB Watercooling...

Welsh Air Ambulance have a huge store in Cardiff which takes just about anything in a usable condition

I upgraded my PC sound a few years ago, was using the 5500 sub with an AV-receiver until I upgraded to a hifi sub in the black friday sale last year. The 2nd one was on the main TV but started playing up - on some channels the sound format shifts from Dolby Digital to just a stereo feed during...

Been an Everton fan for 35 years and though I want to say Burnley, Watford and Norwich, I look at those fixtures and my heart fills with dread. Saturday was a flash in the pan IMO, the next 4 games I see as 4 defeats meaning the away game at Watford is a must win and at least one draw is needed...

It's the sort of film I can't help but watch when your channel hopping on the TV. I'm a sucker for The Sting like that too. Watched the new Dune again last night and felt the same as I did when I saw it in IMAX - it's OK but it could have been sooooo much better

Ahh I didnt realise it was a full frame. If it can expand out to handle a surface that big then you won't have to worry about an extra leg. My bad.

I got a Quad Lock case for my Note 20 Ultra which made it so easy to attach to my bike. Not to big but still chunky enough to provide good protection and very easy to put on/take off. Got another for my S22 Ultra when I traded it in so really happy with it again. Unrelated to cases - My...

My brother-in-law bought the IKEA Karlby kitchen worktop for his desk and its a very nice surface. 186x64 for £150. With a desk that big it will be worth adding a leg to the middle of the desk to minimise any sagging that might develope over time.

I'll almost definately be trying to get one of the new 4000 series cards when they launch if the performance rumours are true. I'm trying to justify it to myself on the basis that there's no guarantee we won't see the same sort of shortages with the new models as we saw over the last two years.
