    Looking for a good set of computer speakers

    I recommend the same thing as the above poster.   Better off than using the money on cheap desktop brand speakers.

      I would be the one who commented about the V style sound. The pointy part being the vocal, while the back ends are the instruments and vocal fade-aways being well separated rather than all being meshed behind the main vocal. Everything before sounded like "v", "o", "■", they were all over the...

      Nice feedback. Great to hear that people are appreciating Ted's work.   He makes terrific products.

    The ultimate desktop microphone! (250 $)

      I hope you made that statement while owning other mics rather than the snowball itself.   Like what you said, yes, there is a limit for microphones, but have you compared the snowball to slighter higher range mics? The slightly higher ones are better than the snowball by a long shot...

    Acoustic Foam for room

    All right, thanks.   I'll go get some long thick Pillows and temporarily place them on the wall and see if these mini echo's go away. Will report back sir aye captain.

    Acoustic Foam for room

    Woah. This has got to be the best advice yet.   Since this isn't a PRO studio or anything, i'll use that low-tech method you've given me to the best of my ability.   As for the mirror trick, what i should do is sit in my listening spot and have someone nearby the side walls holding a long...

    Acoustic Foam for room

    To be real honest and straight forward, i have no idea of how do these measurement/recordings and pick out whats bad.   I do have a few studio microphones. Do i use it to record from where i would be listening or buy an actual measurement tool and go around the room? As for the whole...

      You can't just go off SNR. Most tube amplifiers i know have much lower SNR and sound superb. 120SNR is likely out of the audibility range anyhow.   I would advise you to test it out for $400AUD, but to be honest the stock Essence is nowhere as good as the higher priced Muses unit. Most...

    Acoustic Foam for room

      Thank you for the quick lesson. I decided to listen to you a go with a more balanced approach. Will do with some fiberglass insulation covered in Microsuede/Regular fabric.   So i should have them in different thicknesses and materials correct? I found this...

    Acoustic Foam for room

      Thank you for your generous reply.   In terms of room dampening, is the Owns-Corning 703 better than foam or is it just better in the case of being able to mount easier and having better aesthetics? Looking at it, one wouldn't think fiberglass and mineral wool to do better than acoustic...

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Specification wise, it's not that "great". In terms of reproduction, it outputs a more neutral and pleasant sound signature with much better vocals, sound stage, and instrument separation. It is one of the best, if not the best op-amps i have found to date (surpasses second place LME49990 by a...

    Acoustic Foam for room

    Anyone know where to get good looking acoustic foam for room dampening?   I've found a few online that looks decent, but none that really makes it not look like foam but rather a design, if you get my drift.   Examples...

    I have messaged you. Should solve your problem.

      I've owned 4. If i were to get them or recommend them, i'd have to pick the MUSES version. You can buy 6 and install them yourself, however it's a little difficult to source them online. There are many fakes.
