[QUOTE="Amelith Nargothrond, post: 620846, member: 60405"] Wasn't that rare, there are plenty of low cost PSUs out there and plenty of electricity problems. Back then, when I worked in a computer shop (which had its own department of technicians for warranty stuff and repairs - and I worked there), we had almost daily people coming in with the PCs they bought from us with these kind of issues. I mean it's rare if you count the number of PCs we sold and the number coming back with PSUs burning out stuff inside a PC (the ratio between these two). But overall, we had to deal with them almost daily. Just PSU issues, literally daily, and not just once a day. Ok just phoned one of my buddies who works at my supplier's service center, these occur much less than in my time, he said in average like once or twice a week (and they sell like hell). Things have changed indeed. But I also might count in the fact that they don't sell garbage (back then, we did sell very cheap stuff). Can't beat the wire. No wireless (and so, digital) stuff can match the softness, warm sound of a classic-style analogue equipment. I didn't get there yet, but one day I am going to buy a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 S and a tube amp and a top quality DAC for it. I do have a very good DAC, but not good enough for a tube amp. I don't use surround speakers (I own one, a Logitech Z5500 - old, but it's back in its original packaging), as I like the pure, unaltered stereo sound of music (awesome for movies though). Replaced them with a two speaker/channel stereo studio setup. Not that good for movies, but for music it's heaven :) [/QUOTE]
