ASUS Model GTX760-DCMOC-2GD5 invented a new version of the Mini Card GTX 670 In fact, it is a transfer to a new card the technology with old housing. Entire card has a length of only 170 millimeters behind the cooling chamber 5 phase power VRM that draws voltage from 8-pin PCIe power connector. GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU Mini treats the core frequency of 980 MHz and Turbo mode, it accelerates to 1033 MHz. Memory is clocked at standard clock 6 GHz. entire structure was valued at the amount of $ 300.

SuperSonic Model PEF256GSRUSB using is such a fast data transfer experience its interface transfer rate gets a decent read at 150 MB/s It is exactly the same as the one presented in the beginning of the month 128GB version but this one with more capacity. Unfortunately, such a precious device is no longer in the market. Here memory is recorded at a speed of only 30 MB/s Sam SuperSonic XT weighs just 13 grams and measuring 59.7 x 12.2 x 19.8 millimeters.

Thermaltake has prepared this time, something for those who are bored already dark, gloomy attached.
Latest Housing Urban S31 Edition Snow is white as snow. Just inside are black. S31 Urban Snow Edition will be offered in two versions. The first is VP700M6N2N in the standard version and the other is VP700M6W2N with a window on the side. Both are standard Midi-Tower ATX. It has cabinet finished with a brushed aluminum texture and perforated mesh on the front. In the middle you can hide six drives and three optical drives. The front panel also mounted USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, and audio connectors. As usual in this class can expect a good cooling system. So it is here. Here we have a whole bunch of fans 120 millimeters. One is at the bottom, one at the rear, and two on the top. There are also holes for liquid cooling system.

Overview Edifier E30 Spinnaker and Creative ZiiSound T6

We continue to follow the current trends of multimedia sound and today in our lab are two speakers that meet the most demanding requirements. Great design, excellent workmanship, the most extensive connectivity and control - that is their main features.

Both sets include a top-level decorative systems, which, of course, reflected in the price that easily passes the mark of 10 000 rubles. It is only natural that the number of “chips” offered for the money, a pleasant surprises even the most experienced user.

Speakers Creative ZiiSound T6 and Edifier E30 Spinnaker

For example, today, almost everyone has at least one mobile device, permanently connected to the Internet. Therefore, several transformed the approach to listening to music. Tracks are much more convenient to take out global web and transmit to the speakers without wires. And the presence of Bluetooth speakers on the side in such a situation is not a far-fetched option, but truly necessary decision.

Scope of delivery

After unpacking the two boxes, we can say that today's systems are sold with a decent enough supply of kits, which include a lot of extra things for ease of use.

Edifier E30 Spinnaker comes with an external power supply with a separate cable-specific cable to connect the two speakers together, a wireless remote control the puck and appropriate signal cables including optical.

In the box with the Creative ZiiSound T6 you'll find two satellites, wired volume control, wireless remote control, cable USB, signal cord and even corporate Bluetooth-transmitter BT-D1.

Edifier E30 Spinnaker

Without a doubt we can say that the system E30 Spinnaker is one of the most exciting and advanced in the decorative segment, not only within the model series of Edifier, but also on the market as a whole. Acoustics is made in a very non-trivial cases, which are conceived as emerging designers to stylize the sail. Of course, you can spend, and other similar, but, in any case, the exterior was very catchy and memorable. This does not take away.

Edifier E30 Spinnaker

For housings use high-quality materials (plastic and aluminum good ribs), so there is too much to find fault does not work. But the main feature of new items we do not consider design refinements, and serious enough stuffing. The fact that each of the two columns is a tri-band. In three separate heads with dynamic amplifiers. The bass section is based on two speakers with cones to 4 inches. Each of them is placed in a closed volume, which is excellent in terms of sound resolution. This scheme reduces the volume a bit, but the distortion and other negative issues will be kept to a minimum. To reproduce mid and upper involved full dynamics in the upper part. Naturally, they work on their space capacity. The dome high-frequency transducer, by the way, is made of padded fabric - no compromise on the quality of performance.

On the surface of the table columns are installed without any problems, and cable management in this case is very well thought out. In the grounds there are special channels where you can consolidate all of the cords neatly. A lot of them will. As required minimum supply power from an external source and to connect the two loudspeakers each other. In the classical use more will be added and the signal cable. By the way, the feature of this model is the availability of high-quality built-in DAC, so a sly input connector can be carried out not only an analog connection, but also digital - on optics. In addition, there is ready access to a powered subwoofer, which has already been formed correctly truncated low-frequency signal.

Manage acoustics is assumed by the hand-washers that can work across the wire or wirelessly via built-in battery power. The rotation of the upper portion relative to the base allows you to control the volume and mute button lets you.

 

Creative ZiiSound T6

Creative ZiiSound T6 system is made in a classic style with the traditional approach, but the interesting points in it, no less. In this case, the satellites are built on two full range speakers that are mounted in separate chambers. It is assumed that rotating them relative to one another, can give sound of greater volume. And I must say, this system works quite well. For example, the company is promoting such tricks BOSE, when the multi-directional sounds and their reflections form a really good volume. Therefore, if you buy the ZiiSound T6, be sure to experiment.

To install the caliper on the surface of the table are used massive pedestal and connected to the amplifier are quite unconventional wire length of approximately two meters.

Sam made a subwoofer is also very original. It uses a single speaker with a rare acoustic design in the form of passive radiators.Two on each side of the diffuser are precisely those emitters. Again, the solution provides a more beautiful sound in the low-frequency range with minimal distortion.

Wired remote control Creative ZiiSound T6

With control from Creative at the full order, as provided several convenient ways. First, there is the classic wire plate with locking ring. It can be put on the table, and the regulator will always be at hand. By the way, here additionally mounted another output jack for headphones and input select button and activate Bluetooth. Also attached to the classical control system. It, for example, it is convenient to use while sitting on the couch, if the acoustics will be connected to the TV.

Subjective impressions

Let's start with work via Bluetooth. With her two systems to cope without too much difficulty, and within a radius of 10 meters, you will not experience any problems. Separately want to mention the brand transmitter Creative BT-D1. It should be used only in cases where no wireless interfaces on a computer, for example, old desktops. No difference in terms of growth in sound quality compared to standard means, for example, it does not provide a laptop.

The sound of the two sets was expectedly different. ZiiSound T6 provides quite normal full bass, the power of which is sufficient for the average room. In this case, the satellites form a strong support, but the middle is slightly littered and distorted in terms of tone. Treble slightly not enough to achieve the effect of airiness. Acoustics easily copes with simple music, well voiced movies, but demanding tracks of heavy directions explicitly draws.

Edifier E30 Spinnaker boomed a little more modest, which mainly concerns the lower limit. The general sound level in this register is not much to complain about, the low-frequency region of fully worked out. Small speakers do well with its task, so in most cases you can even do without a subwoofer output which is provided. The middle of the beauty in details and is clearly beyond the capabilities of ZiiSound T6, plus to this, looks much more confident and upper frequency range. These speakers do well with a typical music, rhythm and lose only the most arrant music. Distortion with increasing volume does not increase, and the system can be listened to with an impressive level of sound pressure.

Conclusion

The high price of both sets has done its job, and each is worthy of serious evaluation. Creative ZiiSound T6 impresses with smart design of satellites, comprehensive management capabilities and a wireless interface. In this Edifier E30 Spinnaker is somewhat more recent model, and technological solutions we see it higher. It uses the full implementation of the speaker, with remote control-washer, which can be used without wires, and in addition there is also the popular Bluetooth and high-quality optical input. In terms of sound ZiiSound T6 confidently pulls low-frequency range, but loses in the areas of middle and top. From the combination of all the factors of advantage is clearly on the side of E30 Spinnaker.
