Excellent Set!
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
The video in most scenes is spectacular! It really looks like it could have been filmed today! Though, especially in the first season, there are some standard-definition scenes because the film for them either couldn't be located or was damaged, but I guess that's to be expected for a show that first aired in 1985. The audio is also very good. I have to admit that I didn't check for special features, though I usually don't get into special features in general.

So Good, So Far

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this for about a year and I haven't had any issues with it. It pretty much just works. There were maybe 2-3 times where it had trouble connecting, but I'm pretty sure it was just my ISP. I bought this after the Ethernet port on my Motorola one died. Even if I had to replace my modem every two years, it would still be way cheaper than renting from my ISP, or any ISP for that matter.

It arrived without any damage. The audio and video are both great. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this product. It's also priced right. With this, and the third season (which I purchased at the same time), I was finally able to complete my collection of this show.

Works perfectly. No flaws in workmanship or design. I'll admit though, at first, I kinda wished that it was more compact instead of being joined externally. Then I realized there are probably some applications where this approach is useful.

The video, especially the live-action parts, is good. The audio is great. The special features are nice. The only thing that was really lacking here was the CGI. It looks like they used the original 480p CGI and just upscaled it instead of reworking it for 1080p. But that's okay. I'd rather have these movies as they are than to not have it at all.

An Absolute Beast of a CPU!
on January 27, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an absolutely incredible CPU! I upgraded from the 5600X. I bought the 5600X the day it was released and at the time, I was too focused on keeping the cost of my build around $1,200. If I knew then what I know now, I would have started with the 5900X. This thing is amazing! It chews through HD video compression like nothing else! It compresses 4K video in a much more reasonable amount of time than the 5600X.
Also, the power usage is much lower than its Intel counterpart and as far as I know, the security is also much better.

An Excellent Upgrade!
on January 27, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
This sound card is magnificent! It really puts my motherboard's (MSI B550 Gaming Plus) integrated (built-in) audio to shame! It is absolutely a night-and-day difference. A user on Reddit said that integrated audio is soulless, and now I know what they mean. The audio from this card is much fuller and richer. It is an incredible thing to experience! It is absolutely worth the money!
Also, unlike a lot of sound cards, including many of Creative's own Sound Blaster cards, it actually has an EMI shield, which is a big deal. EMI shielding makes it immune to the EMI from the rest of the system, which makes a big difference in audio quality. In fact, EMI is the reason why a lot of audiophiles recommend USB DACs instead of PCIe sound cards. With shielding like this, you really don't need to go the external route. Well, unless your motherboard uses either the mATX or ITX form-factors.

Lightning Fast!

Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
This drive really *is* worth all the hype! I went from a Western Digital SN550 to this incredible drive and I definitely saw a significant speed increase. It really *is* three times faster than my WD SN550! The OS loads three times faster, the applications load three times faster, etc. It's even fast enough to handle the GNOME desktop environment without too much trouble!
I should mention that I got it on sale for $100, so whether or not the speed is worth the money might be a bit difficult to determine. It's definitely worth the $100 I paid. The normal $160 price is pretty good too, especially considering that it originally sold for $230.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace a Sabrent 13-port hub on which only about half of the ports worked. This on the other hand, while having fewer ports, works fantastically! I have not had any issues whatsoever! Also, due to the design of this hub, you could stack a bunch on top of each other if you need to do so (my Sabrent hub's ports faced upward). If you need a USB 2.0 hub, this is a great one!
I also have Best Buy's house brand USB 3.0 hub, which also works wonderfully. In fact, it can provide a faster connection than my PC case's built-in USB 3.0 ports.

Did you try the My Nevo app? Or are you referring to the lack of a micro USB port? If it’s the latter, open the battery compartment and look for a six-pin connector. If it’s there, you actually can program via a PC with a JP1 to USB cable.

I have spent much $$$ on Soundblasters only to have none of them work! Come to find out that they no longer work on Win 10/11 and there is no fix. I still have the AE-5 plugged but I'm using the onboard sound. I have used creative sound cards for 20 years for music production. Don't know what their problem is now!

Would this work with my Sennheiser 569 headphones? They only came with 2 cables. One has a big 1/4" (6.35mm) connector and the other has a 3.5mm connector. However, the 3.5mm cable has a mic and a remote, so it doesn't work with the extension I have.

I am running a 1050ti which has 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port, 1 VGA. I recently purchased a Freesync which only had an HDMI input. My monitor claims it can support Freesync. I do not see the option when using HDMI to HDMI. Will this make Freesync work?

What's a good speaker wire to run with these speakers?
Pretty much any brand should be fine. Just stay away from Rocketfish - that stuff is brittle! It's very difficult to strip the Rocketfish wire without losing a lot of strands. Even if you successfully pull it off, it falls apart when you wrap it around the speaker terminal. I don't know, maybe they expect you to use banana clips.

When will this product be back in stock?
It's back in stock. It's actually kind of funny because I have a 5600X, but I was kind of wishing that I'd gone with the 5900X because my 5600X took longer than I expected to compress a 4K file. Yet, the 5900X and 5950X are sold out, while I believe the reverse was true on Launch Day with the 5600X being very difficult to buy due to its very understandable popularity; if I had gone with the 5900X, I probably would have been able to buy it much earlier in the day.
