Upgrading to Dynaudio Focus 110 -- Which Sub/Amp to use?
Deleted. Bought Parasound HCA1000 to go with the Dynaudios. Keeping my SVSPB12NSD for now. Using Marantz SR5002 as preamp until I upgrade to a DAC/preprocessor.- dallasstar

V-Moda vibe duo vs maximo im-590
As great as the maximos may or may not sound, they are worthless, imo. Both my cousin and I bought the maximos, and both of ours lost sound in one ear within a month. My cousin even got his RMA'd, and the same thing happened to the second. I just threw mine out and bought Westone 3's. I'd...- dallasstar

bookshelf speakers with larger woofers than elt525
My cousin recently visited me, and when he heard my AV123 ELT525 + SVS PB-12 NSD, he was really impressed and wanted some speakers exactly like them. However, he doesn't have space for a monster subwoofer to accompany them like the PB12-NSD. I got my speakers for about 150 on sale. The sub...- dallasstar

Subwoofer problem
Does your soundcard have an equalizer? Perhaps equalize the bass down? Also, how are you working with audio inputs/outputs? Are the speakers connected to some sort of crossover, so that they don't reproduce the frequencies the sub is taking over for? Also, where is the subwoofer placed relative... -
Subwoofer placement/direction for front-firing SVS PB12-NSD
Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. I'll put it in a corner next to the front speakers. -
Subwoofer placement/direction for front-firing SVS PB12-NSD
Hi Guys, I just got an SVS PB12-NSD subwoofer, and I'm hoping to get some advice on how to place it. I had two ideas: 1. Place it right next to the couch (to the side, next to a wall), with the subwoofer driver facing toward the front speakers. 2. Place it right next to the couch (to the...- dallasstar

Good subwoofer between $300-$500?

Good subwoofer between $300-$500?
Hi, I just got a new apartment in NYC and now I want to make it a proper home, so I'm buying stuff. Just got an LCD TV, a PS3 and the AV123 ELT525M speakers. Now I need a subwoofer. Any suggestions? I've been considering this one and this one, but I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on what...- dallasstar

Looking to get my first set of headphones. Looking at the Equation RP-21's. Any thoughts?
I don't consider the RP-21 to be an audiophile headphone. The details were lacking, and the bass was a bit muddy at times. At this price point, a Grado is a FAR better deal. However, I must admit, I LOVED the way the RP-21 is completely unfatiguing, no matter what I play with them. You can...- dallasstar

Q-Jays or UE Super.fi Pros's
When I first bought them, I had to replace the filters after only 2 days and I was ANGRY. But then, as I experimented with different eartip sizes, I found that there are many ways to wear the Q-jays: foamies, small eartips that make a good seal DEEP in your ear, or large eartips that make a good...- dallasstar

it's very obvious when they need to be replaced. the sound becomes muddy in one or both ears, or it cuts out altogether.- dallasstar
