I'm trying to decide between these two powered speakers(or any others in the price range with similar performance) and decided to ask for some opinions. First, a bit of background on my listening area; Medium/Large computer desk, 22" Deep x 8' Wide. Medium sized room(11'x11' with 12-13' Ceiling)...

I'm looking for the best sounding MP3 player with at least 30GB of Storage. It will be mostly for music, but If I end up with a Zune or iPod, I'll use it for Pod Casts as well. I won't be using an amp, and I have a pair of Denon C700's that I'll be using with it. I know SQ is subjective, but...

Lately, I've noticed my audio has been cracking. Randomly, and quite frequently, I here crackling during any sounds, be it music or movies. It's become quite annoying, so I've decided to find the cause. Well, after a few tests, I've realized it's my Motherboard that causes the cracking. This...

Okay, as some may have read, I am currently building a 2.1 Speaker system for my computer. I've got a couple of questions regarding connections and whatnot with some Monitor Audio BR2's. Here they are:Does the Receiver/Integrated Amp I get needs a Sub Out, or is there some other way I can...

Hey there, how's it going? I'm currently trying to configure the best sounding 2.1 Speaker System for my Computer, meaning near field(<1m) listening. I'm quite new to speakers, having just decided to make the switch from headphones to speakers, so I'm not sure where to best spend my budget(which...

Okay, so I am thinking of leaving the headphone world for speakers(Keeping 1 pair of cans just in case ), so before I do anything, I am going to start considering my options. I am looking to get the best speaker setup I can for my computer, with a price range of $500-$600. Now, I'm not sure what...

Is it possible to convert a CD that was burnt to a single file FLAC File + a CUE File into MP3 files? Meaning, can I convert the single FLAC/CUE File into 13 MP3s so I can put it on my Sony A818? And if so, what would be a good software to use? Thanks.

I am thinking of moving from my 60GB iPod to something with a little better SQ. I'll be using a pair of Denon AH-C800's and I won't be using an external amp, and do not plan on using one later down the line. But before I make the leap and upgrade, I need to know one thing; Is there a big...

So, I've found finally found a pair of cans that I simply love for my Prog Rock/Metal(Grado SR225), and now I am searching for a pair of IEM's. These will be run straight out of an iPod. Price range is about $150, but the cheaper the better. I'm currently using a set of Shure E2C, so I am hoping...

Well, tomorrow I'll be receiving my Grado SR225's, and about a week from now I'll be receiving my ALO Modded Ultrasone HFI-780 Jena Wire. So, now I will need a DAC/Amp to drive them. I don't care if it's a DAC/Amp in one, or a DAC and an Amp, but my set price range is firm. It's all I can afford...

How do these two different cables compare to each other? Any strengths or weaknesses that would make one better than the other? I'm looking to re-cable the Ultrasone HFI-780 and I'm not sure which cable to use. The prices of the cables don't matter, just pure SQ. Thanks.

The question is simple. I'm looking for the best set of cans that can be put to their full potential without a dedicated amp. The source will be a PC Sound Card(X-Fi ExtremeGamer, hopefully upgraded soon) playing high bit-rate MP3's or FLAC/APE Files. I don't want an amp because of where(and...

Before anyone says it, I have searched. And yes, there are plenty of posts about this subject. But not one of them offers all of the answers I was hoping to find. It's a wealth of information to absorb, so it's plausible I may have missed it, but meh. Anyways, as the title says I am looking...

So I've recently purchased a Meier Audio 2Move to pair with my DT880's. After a little use, I've realized I don't plan on actually using the 2Move with my iPod like I originally planned, so I now figure I'd be better off with a decent Tube Amp. So that is where Head-Fi comes in. I plan on...

Just a quick question regarding DAC's on Amps. I already own a Sound Card for my computer(Creative X-Fi Extreme Gamer) so would a DAC be a waste on an amp for my needs? Or would it be possible to connect the DAC to my computer for listening to music, but then disconnect it to use my Headset for...

Well, I am looking at purchasing a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880(or HFI-780's, haven't decided), and I've heard the the DT880's require an amp. So after searching around for awhile, I've concluded that I know.... absolutely nothing. So, if you had to buy a budget amp to get with the DT880's, which...

Just as the title says, I am looking for the best set of cans for Progressive Metal/Rock and Power Metal(The majority of my music). I've read around quite a lot and there seems to be no definite answer(Of course, sound is objective though). ATM, I am leaning towards the Grado SR80's(or 60's if...
