Orange Crush series OR Vox Pathfinder series

garret — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 15:11:38 +0800

Hey guys.

I am planning a new amp next week, a small one for practice in my flat after work.
I have been looking at 2 amps, the Orange Crush 12L and the Vox Pathfinder 10. ( Cos of their price range not so far apart)
I haven't tried any of these amps out, cos i'm planning to buy them online ( no musical instruments store in my area or near it)

Any advice from whomever have had the experience playing or heard those amps really appreciated.
Thanks.

Is Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 a wise choice?

garret — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:13:06 +0800

hi, a quick question here...i've been going back and forth between these proc..
Xeon E3-1231V3
i5 4690
i7 4770
I'm looking at these processors. Overclocking isnt super important. I'll be doing a little more CPU intensive things for work on this so its not just for gaming.
gonna pair it with gtx970 btw..
as far as i know the xeon is on par with i7 4770 in terms of performance and even better in some cases, just without the on board gpu..
I've never used xeon and nobody that i know used them...so i wanna ask around here first before buying.
any opinion, suggestion, experience etc..are highly appriciated..
thanks

Help! Voltage Confusion

garret — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 04:12:08 +0800

Hey,

I'm sure this question arises many of times on these forums. But I wanna buy the TC Helicon gadget from the US as they retail there at RM956 as opposed to 1888.90 here. Now on the details on the Mains Voltage reads...

"100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz (auto-select)"
(Do i need a stepdown transformer etc..)

Would I be correct in assuming that means I'm in luck? or is this not the case, haha? Ive been quiet confused in the whole debacle, if someone could absolutely clear the whole thing up and inform me what my options are? that would be super appreciated!

Cheers!
