I can't say what the other cards do in surround mode since my interest is in 2.1 only. In my system I'm running a power amp which won't have a pre-out and as I stated in my original post, I don't want to run signals through my subwoofer. I want stereo signal to go straight to the stereo amp...

Seeking an upgrade from my current M-Audio Revolution 7.1, I purchased an HT Omega Claro Plus sound card. Much to my dismay, this card is incapable of true 2.1 output and outputs a separate subwoofer signal only in 4.1, 5.1 or 7.1. Looking at the manuals for the Asus D2 and the Auzentech...

Unfortunately, I don't have usable access to a PCI express slot on my motherboard. Additionally, I use nearfield monitors and not headphones due to problems with tinnitus. When comparing the Claro+ to the Asus D2, the Claro+ appeared to have fewer problems and better customer reviews than the...

No one with comparisons or opinions between the old M-Audio Revolution and the current HT Omega products?

For several years I have been I have been running a 2.1 system from my M-Audio Revo 7.1 using a B&K Reference 4420 amplifier, Von Schweikert VR1 monitors and a Dayton Titanic subwoofer. Though I game occasionally, sound quality is much more important to me that gaming performance. Lately I...

If you don't wish to solder, you can also paint the ends with Caig Pro Gold, let it sit awhile and then wipe it off. You will have to reapply periodically but it is an alternative if you have zero DIY skills.

I bought mine used for around $385 US and I absolutely love it. I was using an SR-71 as a home amp, but I thought the imaging and the bass of the Aria slightly preferable for my ears, through my HD580's. What really sealed the deal was the crossfeed. I always missed the crossfeed of my old...

I'm looking for an upgrade from my modded "Tushi" 3960. I can use the Tushi or a Sony DVP-S360 as a transport to the DAC. Any thoughts or recommendations? Aragon A2D2? Theta Chroma? I only have about 11" of depth to work with, so I'm not sure the MSB offerings will fit in the space I have to...

OK. So for the rest of us who are uninformed but curious, where do we obtain Enigma Audio Oenomel interconnects?

There are Arcam and NAD models out there that are les than 12" deep but, so far, no one has mentioned them. Any particular reason why?

My current source is a modded Toshiba 3960. I'm looking for a used redbook player for under $500 that offers more (and punchy) bass with smooth, extended highs. The player is for my bedroom system, so depth is a factor. Much more than 12" deep will not work. Any thoughts or opinions out there?

Sorry. Wrong Forum.

After much begging and many QTB posts, I was able to snag a pair of HD600 grills for $12.00 each, shipped. While this is more that the $12.00 a pair previously charged by Sennheiser USA, the USA warehouse no longer stocks HD600 grills. They will *GLADLY* sell you HD650 grills for only $37.00...

If you want to purchase HD600 grills, go here quick !! http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=164959 I have a pair of 580's I have cared for lovingly for more years than I can count. The addition of the HD600 grills made a subtle improvement. The addition of the HD650 cable...

I would like to compare the analog outputs of my CD player to the DAC of my Corda Aria. Since the digital input of the Aria is USB only, I was curious if anyone manufactured a digital cable that was RCA at one end, and USB at the other.

Can't add a subwoofer to a 2.0 system?? That depends upon a number of factors, including the soundcard being used. I'm running my M200's with an Earthquake subwoofer.

The M200's are self-powered. New Egg has them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836136102

Whether or not the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system is best for you, depends upon your use, your tastes, and your goals. If you like alot of gaming with low frequency effects, will use your system mainly for movies, or like hip-hop style bass, then the Klipsch is a good choice. If you mainly like...

I believe Headroom is running a non-advertised special of $229.99 for the HD600's. That is why they have been showing as back-ordered lately. For the few dollars more, you get brand-new 'phones, with warranty, from a reputable source, that supports this group !!

In testing both, I thought the sound of the Klipsch was geared to gaming and the sound of the M200 was geared to music. I've had my M200's for several years and I've always been happy. I did find that the use of a decent subwoofer cleans up the lower midrange of the M200's. When using the...

OK. A newbie question regarding rechargeable 9v batteries. The Plainviews are highly regarded at 9.6v but only 1700mHa. There are other rechargeable 9v batteries out there that list 9v and 2500mHa. At least in power tools, I tend to think of amps as representing the guts and the power in use...

When DVD's from the rental store freeze or skip due to scratches, greasy fingerprints, etc. I have had good results with lemon pledge and a 100% cotton cloth. I always wipe from the center hub to the rim.

The upgrade bug is biting again. I'm currently using a modified Toshiba 3960 and I'm considering an upgrade to this source for CD redbook playback. Anyone care to compare the "Tushi" to the Arcam 73T or Alpha 9? Has anyone had the chance to A-B the Arcam 73T against the Alpha 9??

The Teac may be cheap, but the +/-2db frequency response doesn't even equal many PCDP's out there let alone surpass them. One more item on the used market is made by Proceed, it is the PCD (not to be confused with their CDP). If it sounds as good as their preamps, it should be delightful unit...
