You were unaware of the actual meaning of the Ohms specifications of headphones and what they actually mean when you joined head-fi.

You then asked for clarification in this thread and received a selection of educational answers.

Not that you were listening, because you asked again in this thread and had other explanations plus a link back to your original thread with the other answers.

And yet, you still failed to take anything in...

And started to combine your misunderstanding of matters with your posts waxing unconditional love for the HD205 thusly:

Despite your mentioning over a selection of posts (including this thread) that you are having to use vast amounts of EQ and sound enhancement to get them to sound good. That includes, but presumably isnt limited to the X-Fi Crystalizer, SRS Audio Sandbox and DFX Audio Enhancer (which is somewhat in contradiction of your Early post {first quote} extolling the virtues of neutral sound).


To return to the rest of your post:



They made them louder. As by your own unbreakable preconceptions, low Ohm headphones don't need an amp, so the Logitech speakers cant have made a difference, it must just be louder.




Gosh a sceptic being sceptical? What would the chances be?




Yea!



I think that you have to get me to faceplam one more time before I eat my keyboard.

That was harsh................ I mean good god how long did that take you.

Guitar amps was a metaphor....get used to it.

Re-routing the Soundcards output via Speakers Headphone jack does improve the Sound output from the headphones.

Not the best thing money can do...but for me they lying spare at home so i tried to tell u how i used it.

Having a BOSE attitude can screw up your thinking.

if the speaker system headphone jack impresses you, i cant even imagine what a good solid system would do to you =)

To each their own.....

I went to buy Creative USB Soundcards but they didnt let me listen before buying....so i ditched the plan.

Finally this is what helped me...

The Source is all 320 kbps (VBR).

What Soundcard do u use?

Bud, sources here mean both files and hardware. No doubt 320kbps files are good enough, but your soundcard is still terrible.

-----------------------

Another suggestion is you should read more and try more. find the meet around your area and join. It will help you learn and understand a LOT more than your own assumption.

Good luck

Lets say this... i am hearing the best of the worse if not worst.

best? afraid not.

Laptop Sound Card - Audio Advantage Micro

With about just $10 more, it's pretty decent (IMO far better than that cheapo 2.1.

also, you can carry it along with your laptop anywhere.

or you really take that 2.1 speakers with laptop all the time.

I don't see how merely increasing the volume of the cr*p sound from your laptop soundcard = increase in sound quality. It's too bad this thread can be googled. Extremely misleading.

However - what you hear is what you hear I guess. You can't really say you are hearing the best or worst of anything, unless you know that your laptop soundcard deserves that distinction.

Please don't tell me we have another oicdn ego on our hands.

I do agree with Tsi; ignorance is bliss. If it floats your boat, that's great. But to go on a hurt pride rant against some of the most knowledgeable and helpful members of Head-Fi is not a wise choice, because nobody will benefit from such a thing.
