Hi all,

I bought a 3700x + MSI X570 + 2x8GB 3600MHz CL18 bundle from a local supplier. Was in a bit of a hurry to order it as my old PC suddenly died. But I've realised I may want more than 16GB RAM. If I'm going to fill the remaining slots though, buying more of the same is the obvious choice but then I have 32GB RAM total and no spare slots so I'm pretty much capped. It's half a thought to go big and get 2x16GB which would put me at 48GB total, which is a pretty stonking amount of RAM.

Sticking with the same range of memory my choices are:

• 2x16GB 3200MHz CL16

• 2x16GB 3466MHz CL16 (expensive, and currently sold out)

It doesn't look like 16GB sticks come in 3600MHz flavours, only

These $50 IEMs are way more impressive than the Massdrop Plus (which costs 6 times as much). I can't get behind the MD+, I tried really hard to like them but I just can't.

T2 have slightly lean midbass but meaty sub-bass. Treble is pretty clear, cymbals are quite strong but not excessive. Vocals are slightly recessed but not overly so. It's a slight V-shape but one I can get behind, they are really good for the price.

These sort of swing the opposite way to something like the HD600 headphones, but in a fun way. For portable tunes I like how they sound. The standard foam tips are way too big for me though, these fall out easily so I need to find some smaller tips. But the sound is

The blind test (second table) is quite interesting. I correctly picked 64kbps and 128kbps fairly easily but I struggled to tell the difference at 192kbps and up.

Still prefer FLAC files. Even if it's just placebo :D
