    I’m curious if anyone would vouch for a TV manufacturer? Are there any good dumb TVs anymore? I have a Samsung smart TV and it is an absolute pain in the ass to use the remote UI. I have resorted to running KODI on a Linux box instead.

      Sennheiser

      Just FYI, Sennheiser’s consumer audio department got bought out a few years ago. I can’t say as to whether that has affected the quality of their products, but brands being purchased rarely works in their favour.

      I’m a Sony kid these days.

        To be fair, Sennheiser’s consumer line have always been pretty mediocre. Their pro audio line have always been solid and what their good rep is based on.

      Fuckin ASRock, my childhoods nightmares.

      Best friend and I got 2 ASRock boards in highschool, both failed for no reason within 10 months and then months of sending it back and forth multiple times for repair.

      Never buying anything ASRock since.

      ASRock is the only mobo I ever used that died on me for no reason at all and I’m hardly the only one.

        Same for me. Shutdown the PC at night and went to bed, next morning it won’t turn on anymore.

      Asrock used to be budget boards, did that change? When? I never consider them unless on very tight budgets for that reason.
