The Overclockers Difference

Suitable for both home recording studios and professional mix engineering, the Eris XT studio monitors combine sterling audio quality with the flexible tuning and connectivity you've come to expect from PreSonus. It’s Eris, remastered. With their smooth, accurate frequency response; powerful amplification with tons of headroom; and acoustic tuning functions that ensure you always get the best sound... it's no wonder that the original Eris®-series studio monitors have been a runaway hit since their introduction. The Eris E8 XT is a substantial update to a lauded classic. Deeper lows and a wider, more controlled sweet spot (thanks to its new EBM wave guide design) mean that our best-selling studio monitors just got even better. Things get rough for the Radeon RX 6600 XT when you compare it to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, though. At 1080p, the RTX 3060 Ti is typically around 15% faster than the Radeon RX 6600 XT, despite costing just 5% more. And, in Metro Exodus, the Radeon RX 6600 XT lags a whopping 38% behind Nvidia's card, which is a huge difference. The cooler here is frankly overkill for this GPU. Through all of our testing, the MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming X topped out at just 67°C, which is extremely cool for a graphics card with a 160W TGP. The original ADAT offered only two autolocate points plus a return‑to‑zero function, but the XT features a full 10‑point autolocator which is quite independent of the BRC and, to my mind, rather more logical to operate. BRC users can, therefore, enjoy the luxury of 10 additional locate points with the proviso that the XT's own locate points can only be accessed from the XT's front panel, not from the BRC. Exactly the same is true of the auto punch‑in/out function — if auto punch‑in is executed from the BRC, then the XT's own auto punch‑in function isn't used, but if an auto punch‑in is executed from the XT's front panel (which works between autolocate points 2 and 3), the BRC doesn't get involved at all, other than as a remote transport control.

An intuitive and discrete handlebar remote allows you to toggle between modes without your hand leaving the safety of your grip. The Fuel EXe’s motor is tuned for tone, measuring in under 0.2 tu – five times less perceivable than other light-assist bikes – so you can forgo the annoying whine of most e-bike motors to stay in the moment and connected with nature while you ride. Paradoxically, where the greatest change is evident is the area that has changed least in hardware terms — the transport. If you've heard anything at all about the ADAT XT, it's probably that the transport winds significantly faster than it did on previous ADATs, but at heart it is based on the same Panasonic SVHS mechanism. Essentially, the transport has been modified so that it is capable of winding around four times faster than before. But unlike the previous model, where you had to disengage the tape from the head to achieve a good fast‑wind speed, the XT keeps the tape engaged at all times in normal operation (unless the machine is left idle for several minutes, in which case the tape unlaces itself to prevent head wear). It is now possible to go into disengaged mode by hitting Stop twice to double the fast‑wind speed, but this is unlikely to be needed unless you're completely rewinding a tape. The outcome is that the fast‑wind time is about 40 times play speed which, although not quite as nippy as a DAT, is actually quite close.

RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S)

Fox Performance 36, Float EVOL air spring, GRIP damper, tapered steerer, 44 mm offset, Boost110, 15 mm Kabolt axle, 150 mm travel With a compact motor, the Fuel EXe’s chainstays are able to stay tight at just 440 mm, keeping the ride nimble and playful. So what about the sound quality? The new converters are technically superior to the original ones, and on some material it is possible to hear a difference, though it is very, very slight. If anything, the sound is smoother and less metallic than it used to be, but then I never had any argument with the sound quality of the original ADAT. Summary Tonality is measured in tonality units, or tu for short. Sounds that measure under 0.1 tu aren’t perceivable to the human ear, while sounds over 0.4 tu are grating and annoying.
