Which Genesis 2 model is the best to get? I've heard one of them has horrible sound, and I work a game store which has a Model 2 for sale, and I want to make sure it's the best one before I buy it.

model 1 gennies have the best sound, and headphone output which is wicked. Model 2 can be good or bad, depends. Model 3 sucks dick and balls

Turn it over and look at the metal plate inside the vents, if you see this, it's shit.

If you see this, you're good.
Model 1 still is superior, but if you're dead set on a Model 2, this is the one you want.

problem is, half board models are pretty rare.
other solution is to get a megaamp board will restore sound quality. But you need to open and do some soldering. Totally worth it.

>>2928702
Model 1 has the best audio but I always liked the aesthetic of the model 2 more.
>>
>>2928702
Not this horse shit again.

They all sound fine.

>>2929261
Not that rare. I came across 3 on ebay just last week for 20 bucks or less, and those were only the ones I could confirm because the seller took pictures of the bottom. There may have been more.

If you use RGB (as you fucking should), you don't have to worry about anything related to video encoders.

He is asking about audio, not video. And if you use RGB then you have to deal with shit load of buzzing audio, unless you splurge for expensive shielded cables, make your own cables, or connect the headphone connector directly to an amp (but in that case you are using a model 1 anyway, not the model 2 like OP asked).

The model 2 sounds way the fuck clearer on that one.
>>
>>2929005
Audio is shit, video is on par with model 1

You clearly presented it an either or option kiddo.
>>
>>2930660
Model 2 sounds better cause it's got that boom box feel to it. You retards need to realize that being clearer=/=better.
>>
>>2934695
crackling bass sounds so great yeah....
>>
>>2934695
Don't forget to play it with your overpriced Beat audio headset on
>>
>>2928702
Just don't get tricked into getting an Asian one. They show up new in box from time to time, but they lack RF shielding and video/audio output is horrible.
