I got my Scorpious M10 in the mail today. VERY light action compared to my other boards. Liking it so far: simple form, heavier than I thought it would be for this price range. Got it from ergogeek through their ebay page (little under $60 including 3 day UPS).
I'll post a review after I've had it for a few days (still making a lot of typos right now :rolleyes:).
iMav - any way of posting a sound clip?

What format do we want to standardize on...wav? I'll add it as an allowed file extention for post attachments.
Probably create a separate, sticky thread for sound clips (although you'd be free to include them in your reviews as well).

Or something compressed like ogg or mp3 - I don't think we need uncompressed for this type of recording.

Yeah, I agree that both (in a review and in a sticky thread) would probably be the most useful.
-
I've included sound clips in some of my reviews like the SMK85.

I imagine iMav uploaded that for you? There's no way to upload sound files through the forum (see list of allowed extensions for attachments in "Manage attachments" link).

I'd go for a lossless codec, but wave (or anything else uncompressed) is a horrible choice.
FLAC, maybe? Although support for that is weak...

get foobar2000 and you'll never look back :D

You guys work it out and let me know.
I'm fine with whatever.

And please say it in a way I can understand ...

Flac is just overkill for something like this.
Mind you that I (and I assume most people) won't have recording equipment good enough for that type of stuff anyways - mp3/ogg at a higher bitrate should be more than fine. This is coming from someone that plays everything in 320kbps/flac through an amp into Grados & Sennheisers - but let's keep things in perspective (IMHO).
-
What Grados do you have? :)

My sources are a M-Audio 5.1 Revolution for my desktop, and a Cowon U3 portable that plugs into a PA2V2 amp. The Grados are a pair of SR80's (mainly for the portable) - my other pair are Sennheiser 555's (desktop only).
A humble setup, but makes me quite happy for what I'm willing to spend on that kind of thing for the time being :)
Are you into headphones?
-
I guess ogg is less practical for non-linux users. I would prefer to upload soundbits in mp3 format unless someone else has a better idea...
-
mp3 it is. I'll start the thread shortly.

That's cool! I used to browse head-fi for awhile. I was really hoping to get some Grados, but didn't have the cash at the time. All I have is a pair of Sony MDR-v6. They got a great range, which is cool for listening to music with alot of layers (i.e.: my fav, Devin Townsend ;)). I figure if I ever strike gold, I'll spring for the Grado RS-1's... but that might be years from now, lol.
Oh, and I also have some Westone UM1s for the portable setup: (Sony NW-HD1).

Not bad either... the problem with getting better headphones is that you also need a better source... and a better amp... and better cables... ;)
It ends up being quite a bit of money :cry: Yeah, I like to browse head-fi as well from time to time - very informative.
I remember Townsend from when he did that album with Vai!
-
That's what got me into Townsend. Trust me, his solo stuff is amazing. If you ever get a chance, listen to "Terria".
I just ordered an Onkyo SE-90PCI soundcard. I hope it sounds good! :)

Here's a video I've found of someone typing on an M10...

I'd certainly like to give one a shot, but I can't keep blowing money on keyboards. :p

Of course you can ;)
No need to rush though. As for getting this one, I'd recommend getting something else for blue cherries.
-
Just an update. Despite only mentioning exchanges on their ebay page for defective items, I explained that I wasn't really confident in anything made by iOne and that I'd prefer a refund.
They were pretty easy going about it, and agreed to refund me once they had received and inspected the board - I shipped it UPS ground today, so should take 3-5 business days tops. Customer service from ergogeek has been very good at all stages so far :)
In other unrelated news, my brown cherry Filco left Japan today :D

Excellent purchase. benippon and geekstuff4u has to have made a lot of money just off the people on this message board alone. :P

I'm sure they'll will make quite a bit more - I for one would love the try the topre's and the HHKB Pro 2 (not anytime soon I think though).

That Topre 86 has a home waiting for it if it really does release in Japan.
