Thoughts on the new Naim Nova PE

Personally, I will stick to separates but does this particularly appeal to anyone on here? https://www.naimaudio.com/uniti-nova-power-edition

    Hey in case you haven't got anything yet, I'll throw in my few cents.

    Mic wise, I would get a dedicated microphone. When buying a headset usually the money goes into the headphones and the mic is just an add-on. I have a mic that requires an actual audio interface to run but I'd get something like a blue yeti or a Audio Technica AT2020 (USB). If you want something clip on I'd look at the mod-mic, maybe a little pricey though.

    Headphones wise, I can only really talk about what I use for gaming which is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s. They are closed back but are really nice all the same. A friend has a pair of DT990s which are open back so that may be more your thing.

    Hope that helps.

    What headphones do people have?

    I'm in the market for my first real pair of headphones for just listening to music. I've had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s for mixing, but now I want something to step my game up. I've been looking at the Focal Clear MGs and I'm even curious of some Grados. What do you have?

    Interesting question. Personally, I started with a text editor transitioned to vim, then to VSCode and now I've settled on a customised neovim install.

    I'm a believer of PDE, that is personal development environment. It's a concept one of the Devs of Neovim TJDeVries talks about.

    In essence it's the idea of building your development environment how you want it. Personally, Neovim allows me to do this. For example, I have a VSCode style debugger, incredibly fast searching with ripgrep, vim keyboard shortcuts and uses the same language servers as jetbrains products.

    Here's a link to his full conversation on the topic: https://youtu.be/QMVIJhC9Veg

    Purchasing a guitar based on its frequency response

    I just went to a lecture where the lecturer was explaining a way to measure the response of a accoustic guitar with an exciter on the bridge and a method called the exponential sine sweep method. He was suggesting that you could measure and then replicate a guitars response onto another guitar and using this you could make far more accurate replicas. This could be used to preserve the sounds of old famous guitars. My question to this community is would consider buying a guitar based on a graph of its frequency response and how that compared to other guitars? Is this valuable research?

    linux Linux Why should I switch from my MacBook M1? Convince me.

  • IndependentRanger IndependentRanger 1 year ago 100%

    Hello from a software engineer in test.

    I use Linux because of habit of looking for an alternative to Windows that didn't require Mac hardware. The machines we've been allocated are dog slow Dells, so it was either pain or Linux.

    I spend most of my day either remoting into embeded units or servers and debugging/writing scripts to test them. I do that over SSH and bar one I can think of, they all run Debian or a variant.

    For me personally, I like to have my development environment mimick (with some niceties) what I work with. In general, I sleep better knowing if it works on my machine, it will probably work on the thing it will eventually be used against. I also know the terminal like the back of my hand and have grown to depend on it for basically everything development. I would never not want to use it.

    However, my tech lead runs Windows 7, uses VSCode and relys heavily on GUI programs in general. I would also say, he is far more efficient in his tasks than I am. When I questioned his use of these things he responded "It's how I like it" and that really stuck with me.

    The key take away from this ramble is create a PDE, a personal development environment. Linux is great because your can customize just about everything you'd want to. That being said I'm sure you can customize your Mac just as much where it matters.

    Just stay awesome!

    Note - I would however check out neovim for the exact reasons I've stated here :)

    Sounds like a fun character to play. The next thing to concentrate on is what does this entity want with her? Why save her? Is it actually really weak and needed a body? Are these nightmares from people from her past lineage who are fighting to get her back? If so can we meet one of these characters in the campaign?

    All things to ask your DM about. The story will just flow from there and I guarantee they will appreciate it. - A forever DM

    TIFU By telling my PT it was my birthday this week

    I had just finished blasting a 06:15 gym class and was absolutely exhausted. For some reason, I thought its a good idea to mention it's my birthday this week and immediately my PT stops and he has a certain look on his face. My PT is a lovely guy, but he's up for a bit of banter. He asks me if I've ever heard of Birthday Burpees. I say no, and he asks if I'm down for a challenge. I'm writing this 50 Burpees later (rounded and doubled for my age because "he likes round numbers), lying on the floor struggling to type because of the sweat. God I'm unfit :) TL;DR Don't say yes to birthday burpees
