The signs of quality and attention to detail are already there for all to see!

One was designed by solution focussed engineers looking to balance a host of competing factors, material use, strength, interoperability with systems manufactured by other companies.
The other was designed by fed up engineers based on the insane demands of a drug addicted narcissistic nazi.
Actually I am misremembering, apparently capacitors are bad for audio, so to get the best you have to have chunky inductors and circuitry to do powerfctor correction to get a PF of 1. I was remembering big chunky power conditioners that look like batteries but are actually huge iron core inductors. They get your audio equipment "closer" to the power generation, which "improves your soundscape". I'm sure he was using the stupid crazy priced audiophile powercords as well.
Oh, I was going to say you know a higher grade of audiophile than I do, but then I remembered that no I have met one. He had installed what was in effect a powerwall with supercaps and was generating his own waves through. His speakers cost more than my car, individually. I want to say Palladium Studio References. Wow yep. Thanks for that little blast from the musty vaults of deep memory... Well a 10 minute conversation 20ish years ago and a lot of "Ohs" and "Ahs" at his photo album.
Oh and the latencies, the really minimal processing that a CRT does compared to an LCD means that input lag could be insanely low. Subtlely different to refresh rate, I always felt it was the gamer equivalent of audiophile grade speaker cables personally, but some people swear they can detect it.
Oh that's OK I just wanted to reminisce on the glory days, my backlog is so long already I could use all my spare time for the next year and still barely make a dent.
First time I attended a LAN party was with a group of 40 people who hired out the two conference rooms at the local library. First medal of homour game was a blast, especially 1 moment where I ended up last alive getting advice from the other 7 people on my team who were clustered around trying to coach me through taking on the last three Germans from the other team. Also helping to cart all the monitors in was some good cardio, kinda miss moving 24" Sony Trinitron CRTs around... Oh wait no I don't at all.
You should give the Amiga version a go via an emulator. You might be interested in the differences. Loved that trilogy back in the day.
Oh I think I have seen this one, don't the vampires get to go public now? And we find out werewolves and fairies are real too?
"Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited."
Its not working.
I'm kinda looking forward to finding out which Chinese OEM is building this thing and how they will be contorting the definition of Made in USA to apply it here.
