So I think I'll sell one of them.Get What You Want, Get What You Need at Our eBay Store I have two of these, which is overkill, so as I was looking to see if people are actually buying Alesis Masterlinks, I got curious and typed in Super Jupiter and. I get the feeling (possibly incorrectly) that Reverb is better for truly collectible gear, while eBay is better for cleaning junk out of the studio. I have an old Alesis Masterlink, for instance, that I can't imagine anyone would want, but a quick glance at eBay suggests it might be worth $150 or so. So would eBay or Reverb be the better alternative? My primary concern is that I don't want to come up empty after the 30 days.Ģ. Which I suppose they could be, except they take soooo much space.) I have a Gibson G101, for instance, which is somewhat valuable (probably a grand or two), but it's a very narrow audience that would be interested in it, so Craigslist would likely come up empty. (I'm the only sucker who thought these would be a cool collection. The challenge with these is that unlike vintage synths, buyers are trickier to find. A lot of this stuff is going to be tricky to get rid of, though, so I'll need to use eBay or Reverb. Usually I try to buy and sell on Craigslist, because it's all local and easy. I'm going to need to get rid of some gear soon.

The B660 board also packs better USB support with five gen-2 ports on the I/O panel, whereas the Z690 model only offers two. Full disclaimer though, we highly recommend that as pricing approaches $200, you consider abandoning the B660 platform in favour of Z690, as quality boards such as the MSI Pro Z690-A start at $190.įor $190, you can get the MSI B660 Tomahawk WiFi, and while I would normally opt for the Z690 board, if you don't care about CPU overclocking, it's possible to argue that the B660 is the better value option.įor starters, you get Wi-Fi 6 and wireless networking of any form isn't offered on the Z690 board. If for any reason you decide you want to spend way too much on an Intel B660 motherboard, MSI, Gigabyte and Asus are all willing to accomodate you. It's a jam packed board that offers almost everything you get on the larger mATX models. It also includes Wi-Fi 6, Intel 2.5 Gbit LAN and eight USB ports on the I/O panel. You get an 8-phase vcore using Vishay 60A power stages, so more current handling than most B660 boards. That battle will be fought by Asus and Gigabyte, and I'm giving it to Asus as the ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi is available in the US and is in my opinion slightly better offering high quality audio and an extra M.2 slot which is highly valuable on this kind of product. While potentially a good value combo, when paired with a 12400, it's not exactly the best Mini-ITX B660 board. If you only want to use the Core i5-12400 then it'll work, you just can't upgrade. ![]() The affordable Asrock board will be best suited to Core i5 processors given it only packs a 5-phase vcore using five 50A powerstages, so the same powerstages used by the Soyo B660M Classic, there's just three less of them, meaning Asrock's little ITX board won't be able to get the most of of the Core i7-12700, likely far from it. ![]() We could only find three Mini-ITX B660 motherboards currently on the market: the Asus ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi which costs $220, the Gigabyte B660I Aorus Pro which isn't on sale in the US yet, and the Asrock B660M-ITX/AC which costs just $120. The VRM performance is comparable and it also packs a great feature set. Couple that with the big heatsinks and you have a recipe for a high performance VRM which dominated our testing.Īlternatively, if you don't have access to this model in your region or pricing isn't favorable, a strong competitor is the Gigabyte B660M Aorus Pro AX, which also costs $180. The VRM on this one is rather mighty, packing a 6-phase vcore with two Renesas 60A powerstages per phase, so for the vcore there are a dozen 60A powerstages. The board itself is littered in heatsinks, there's a large heatsink over the B660 chip, two M.2 heatspreaders and two large VRM heatsinks which also extract heat from the inductors, and the I/O shield comes pre-installed. Wi-Fi 6 support is provided out of the box, along with 2.5 Gbit LAN and plenty of USB ports, 8 in total and that includes a Type-C. It's a tad steeper at $180, and while that is Z690 territory, its VRM puts most entry-level Z690 boards to shame. When compared to the Asrock HDV, you're looking at ~60% greater CPU performance when paired with the Core i7-12700.įor those of you with your sights set on a Core i7-12700 or Core i9-12900 build, and are willing to drop a bit more cash on the motherboard, the MSI B660M Mortar WiFi is a great option and the best MicroATX B660 board in our opinion. In my opinion, $120 is what you need to spend right now for a decent B660 board as that will afford you the Soyo B660M Classic via AliExpress with free shipping to the US.įrankly, it's worth risking any potential warranty issues on the Soyo board as it's worlds better than anything you can buy locally for under $140. ![]() ![]() The problem is that there are very few affordable B660 motherboards that aren't complete junk, the Asrock HDV is currently retailing for $100, the Phantom Gaming is no better costs $110, and then there's the mATX version of the Pro RS for $120. As we've shown, the cheapest B660 boards like the Asrock HDV are a complete waste of money as they'll limit you to Core i3 and a few select Core i5 parts (anything else and they will make the CPU throttle), at which point you might as well buy a cheaper B560 board or preferably jump to AMD's AM4 platform.Įven if you only plan on buying a Core i3 or i5 processor now, having the option to upgrade down the track for more processing power is worth spending another $20. The best entry-level motherboard has to be capable of supporting up to the Core i7-12700, at or near maximum performance. ![]() FTP can be used for offsite, while SMB (Windows and most OS’s) and AFP (Apple) are good for other PCs or NAS on your local network. Backup to Dropbox and the like is a nice feature to have.įTP and SMB/AFP: Backing up to other computers or NAS boxes on your network or in remote locations (say, your parent’s house) is another way of physically safeguarding your data with an offsite, or at least physically discrete copy. Online storage services are a great way to maintain an offsite copy of your data. Online support: An offsite copy of your data is a hedge against physical disasters such as flood, fire, and power surges. ![]() Optical support: Every backup program supports hard drives, but as obsolete as they may seem, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are great archive media. The better software will retain and cull older backups according to criteria you establish. Any backup program you use should allow you to retain several previous backups, or with file backup, previous versions of the file. Versioning: If you’re overwriting previous files, that’s not backup, it’s one-way syncing or mirroring. Any backup program worth its salt allows you to schedule backups. Scheduling: If you’re going to back up effectively, you need to do it on a regular basis. Some will also create a restore partition on your hard drive, which can be used instead if the hard drive is still operational. Any backup program should be able to create a bootable optical disc or USB thumb drive. Imaging is the most convenient to restore in case of a system crash, and also ensures you don’t miss anything important.īoot media: Should your system crash completely, you need an alternate way to boot and run the recovery software. ![]() Image backup/Imaging: Images are byte-for-byte snapshots of your entire hard drive (normally without the empty sectors) or partition, and can be used to restore both the operating system and data. Some programs automatically select the appropriate files if you use the Windows library folders (Documents, Photos, Videos, etc.). That’s life in the cheap lane.įile backup: If you want to back up only your data (operating systems and programs can be reinstalled, though it’s mildly time- and effort-consuming), a program that backs up just the files you select is a major time-saver. Seagate, WD, and others provide backup utilities that are adequate for the average user.Īnd of course, while we describe the features to look for, you’re going to find fewer of them in free software. ![]() Additionally, if you intend to back up to a newly purchased external hard drive, check out the software that ships with it. Features you don’t need add complexity and may slow down your system. Backup softwareĪs with most things, don’t over-buy backup software. Or, just give the trial a whirl and see if you can live with it. Check the location of the data servers if speed is important to you. Speed: Speed, in many cases, is far more dependent upon your broadband connection than that of the online service, though the geographical location of the storage and the equipment in between can make a significant difference. In truth, all the services we’re aware of are near-100-percent reliable. If there are too many outages in service, buy accordingly. Check for news of outages and the vendor’s own service blogs. Availability (hopefully 24/7) can also be important. Some of the larger ones even back up to different geographical locations. Reliability: Generally speaking, data centers are backed up to the hilt. If private encryption keys aren’t available, read the privacy policy, especially with the free services-there are significant differences. Sadly, using your own key often limits the types of services (e.g., no mobile backup) available. Do NOT lose it, as it is absolutely required to restore your data. Privacy: If you’re concerned about the privacy of your data, make sure you use a service that allows the use of a personal encryption key that you define. Note: iDrive even supports Windows Phone. Make sure the service you sign up for supports all of your platforms. OS and device support: Most services provide client backup software for the major operating systems (Linux, OS X, and Windows) and both Android and iOS. ![]() "You've heard it all before, haven't you, Jack?" says Gahan. Talking in a curious blend of New York and Essex vowel sounds, Gahan is unnervingly forthcoming about the past, even though his 15-year-old son is in the room. This album does have a wonderful atmosphere under a blacklight though… however, that doesn’t mean it’s very spooky."I know that if I get high again, I won't survive it," he shrugs. Alcholism is genuinely scary, not Halloween scary. 7/10.īela Lugosi‘s Shivers & Creepiness rating: 3/10 - Don’t expect the mummy/werewolf type of monsters here… the real monster is the man himself. Paper Monsters is more like one long emotional roller coaster of a song that you have to listen to all the way through. It’s not something you would listen to all the time, and you probably wouldn’t go out of your way to listen to any given individual track, save maybe “Bottle Living” or “Dirty Sticky Floor”. Or you could put it on and lay on your bed if you’re in one of those depressive moods and it might just make you feel a little better afterwards. It’s perfect background music on one of those cold, rainy November afternoons. Paper Monsters is an excellent autumn/winter kind of album. “Goodbye” brings things back though, and is a good way to close the album, with a loud mess of guitars and drums fading out into oblivion. Perhaps tweaking the track order a little might have helped remedy this problem. “Hidden Houses” has some cool, trippy distorted guitar chords, but it just feels like the album’s zenith was already reached and we’re just coasting along to the end right now. “Bitter Apple” makes neat use of that scratchy, skipping record sound in the background, but it goes on for about two minutes too long. ![]() “I Need You” brings the tempo back up a notch after the sadness of “Stay”, and does it’s job well within the confines of the album, but alone it doesn’t stand out much… which makes me wonder the decision to make it one of the singles released from this album. However, the album loses it’s legs slightly (just like Dave’s used to… oh… bad joke) during the second half. It even sounds like Gahan gets ever so slightly choked up during certain moments of the song. “Black and Blue Again” is a hazy, bluesy sounding cut that takes the minimalist approach until breaking out into a brilliant cacophony of sounds while Dave growls “You said I’m not very nice./You see I’m not very nice.” And despite all the evils and bitterness mentioned on the album, “Stay” is by far the saddest track, and if it doesn’t at least bring a tear to your eye, you must be part of the Borg. It’s heavy, electronic blues groove, coupled with a shockingly good use of a harmonica in a rock song make it one of the standout tracks. But after three slow, sad, and emotive tracks, “Bottle Living” makes sure the listener stays awake by delivering a rage filled boot to the face. His singing is as good as ever, filled with sentiment in all the right places. “Hold On” and “A Little Piece” continue the theme, as Gahan recounts tales of fighting demons and the stark loneliness alcholism brings with it. Dave’s gasp of air at the end of this track is particularly unsettling, representing the moment he suddenly came back to life after lying (quite literally) dead for a few minutes. The lyrics aren’t exactly high-class poetry, but are instead blunt, most of the time very gloomy, getting directly to the point and not skirting around anything. “Dirty Sticky Floor”, and just about all of the songs on Paper Monsters deal with Dave’s well-known problems with booze and drugs. The album begins and immediately dumps the listener into the dark, cold, rain soaked alleys of the songwriter’s mind. I suppose the problem with that is you probably won’t like Dave Gahan’s solo work if you don’t already have a tolerance for Depeche Mode. That’s not watered down keep in mind… my opinion is that Paper Monsters is a rougher, low key translation of DM with a raw electronic sheen. Being the experienced musician and songwriter that Dave is, the album has no trouble finding it’s identity, which is almost like a stripped down version of Depeche Mode’s music. Paper Monsters is Dave Gahan’s solo debut. Besides, an album with ‘monsters’ in the title is bound to be bustling with scariness, right? We’ll find out what Bela Lugosi thinks later… ![]() Someone wanted me to review a Depeche Mode album, but this will have to do for now. Our drummer, Ricky, said that he knew the first time he heard it he knew it was going to be a big hit. I had no idea even what that meant. I knew there was something about it because it just kind of came out of nowhere, but I didn’t know it was going to be a big hit. I didn’t really come from the school of writing a hit song and making it popular - I was just trying to write good songs. To be honest, I wasn’t really in that headspace. When it was finished, did you think it had the potential to be as successful as it was? I knew at the end of it that it was a love song, and I kind of come from that world, so it can be interpreted as a spiritual song or a love song. I feel like people have just been taking it for whatever they want it to be through the years - which I’m totally fine with, because I think that music should be interpreted how the listener wants to interpret it. I didn’t really think about it when I was writing it. This song has often been interpreted to be about God. That’s happened to me maybe three or four times since then, but they’re really few and far in between. So I’m always really sensitive to those moments when I feel like something magical could happen. Sometimes when it happens quicker than your mind can get involved, it can be a really special moment. But I think that’s a really common thing - the songs that have the most impact happen when you least expect it, and that inspiration just comes out of nowhere. It’s inherent in humans to overthink things - I’ve done that so many times with a song that I think is going to be amazing and then I end up ruining it because I just obsess over it. You don’t really know the biggest moments of your life while they’re happening to you. That almost sounds like it was fate, since it was the song that kicked off everything for you. It ended up being the first single, and as soon as it got released, it just took off really fast. It was finished in like 10 minutes - the bridge, the lyrics, the melody, everything. From there, everything just kind of clicked. ![]() ![]() I was feeling this something inside of me that needed to come out. So I took a break, I went into the other room, and an acoustic guitar - which just happened to be in this dropped D tuning - led to me playing this guitar riff that ended up being “Hanging By a Moment.” I just started singing, and it was really channeling this song from another place. I was doing a vocal at Ron Aniello’s house, and I heard this… it must have been the chorus, I guess? I knew that something was happening. You’ve said that you wrote “Hanging By A Moment” without thinking about what would happen to it. In light of the most recent accolade for “Hanging By A Moment,” the Lifehouse frontman chatted about that fateful idea and how the melody of the song’s chorus is “almost nursery rhyme-ish.” 58 spot on Billboard‘s Best Choruses of the 21st Century list. And now, almost 16 years later, the song earned the No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2001 and is still Lifehouse’s biggest song to date.
