Thanks for the recommendation the SUB1000 looks great. Will the amp I purchased be sufficient to power it and the bookshelf speakers?  

Hey All,   I finally finished setting up my Micca MB42 Bookshelf Speakers and LP-2020A Amp. Everything is working great but you can definitely notice a need for a subwoofer.  Any suggestions on a nice one for $100 or less? Also, will I need any additional equipment for the subwoofer...

Hello All,   I'm looking for a solid speaker setup for my gaming desktop. I did a bit of research on these forums and it looks like Micca MB42 + LP-2020A for $75 is a popular choice for a budget sound system.   Does anyone have any other recommendations or perhaps improvements to the...

Looking for a solid pair of headphones for around $100. Hoping to find a good compromise between price and performance.   Comfort is my main concern, as I'll be wearing these for extended periods of time.   My main music genres are techno and trance. Plan to do a bit of casual gaming and...

I have never received a counterfeit item from Amazon. As long as you ordered directly through Amazon and not through a Marketplace Seller I believe you'll be fine.

It could very well be the buffering doing it, excellent point. I haven't experienced it with any traditional media players (WMP/Winamp). I think I'll send them an email to see if they've heard of any similar issues.

Really love the music from Kryptic Minds. Never heard of them prior to this thread. Thanks for the share!

Quote: I have to agree with Jason. I have tried several portable amps but the additional bulk (no matter how insignificant) is a nuisance.

This particular issue has been driving me crazy for the past few days. On most days I listen to music over my speakers and pause it to step away frequently. When I return and hit resume there's a loud pop and then everything returns to normal. It just recently started doing this and I haven't...

I've heard mixed reviews on the mixamp. Is it really worth it?

Quote: Well at least the beats had one positive impact on audiophile society.

As others have said there's nothing inherently wrong with eBay. Out of six or seven headphone purchases through eBay only one was defective and the seller was very understanding and I eventually ended up with a full refund.   With regards to what PayPal is asking you to do, I would contact...

I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones and wanted input from you guys.   Price Range: $75-$150 Type: Circumaural (Open or Closed) Looking For: Comfort & Sound Quality   My main use for these headphones is going to be music followed by gaming. I usually listen to...

Well first let me start out by saying that there are two main activities I do when at my computer. I play FPS's/MMO's and listen to music almost all the time. As of late I seem to be mainly focused towards rap and rock. However I also do College Assignments on my Laptop in a somewhat...
