First, Google is a terrific friend. However, I have not heard of anyone beside TAO selling Swan speakers here in the states Second, you are saying "Unfortunately they are not a reputable seller, so I would rather not take the risk.". Please tell me, how did you come to that conclusion or...

Yesyesyes, the PC350 does really need an amp. When I first got my PC350 I plugged them directly to my computer X-Fi Xtrememusic card, but oh boy they sounded quite bad. Some might say 'tinny' is a good description for the sound. However, I got my self a cMoyBB (bass boost) amp and it really made...

Maybe ask the OP of this thread: audioengine-a5-swan-d1080mkii-08-m200mkii which was made 9 days ago on this very forum section. If you expect people to help you out, maybe you should give out a little more information on what you want from the speakers. Do you use them for music/movies/games?

I am not sure I understand. You are talking about RCA-to-USB, right? That is not possible as far as I am aware of, because USB is digital and RCA is analog. What are these special cables you are talking about? There are 2 cables that come with the Swans as far as I know. One of them is to...

I have heard wonderful things about the new Swan M200MKiii ($400). I went for the cheaper Swan D1080MKii 08 ($159) which I like very much. I have them on my desktop table. Sooner or later I plan to buy a sub for them.

Quote: Originally Posted by kite7 Through my experience, it doesn't matter as it still sounds bad with it amped through my HDP. I sold it since I didn't want to mod it and got myself the AD700 instead which is far more versatile for music and gaming. Even my friend's HD555 sounds much...

Waw, thank you all for your answers. Apparently I made an uneducated choice when I purchased the kimber cable. I have now requested a RMA and already placed an order on the belkin. Quote: Originally Posted by Prog Rock Man To the OP, was your problem actually a ground loop? You can...

Hello, Let me know what you think about this one. I contacted a DAC manufacturer about a problem(problem is a high pitch noise from the speakers everytime I start the computer with the DAC connected. This is apparently solved by having a self-powered HUB between the computer and DAC-usb...

Hey, A couple weeks ago I bought the HRT Music Streamer II for $150. I have it setup with Swan D1080MkII 08 speakers for my computer desktop. I appreciate good sound, but I must say that I have limited experience and am somewhat a new-beginner in the audiophile arena. I think that the...

Hello, I have a HRT Music Streamer II. It is a USB DAC. When I have it connected to my computer, I cannot get my webcam to work, because it says that it, the webcam, might already be in use but it really is not. My webcam is a Logitech Communication STX. Anyone heard of this problem before...

Hey, I need desktop speakers to listen to music, watch movies and play games. My motherboard is ASUS P7P55D PRO with Audio Chipset VIA VT1828S I need some opinions, as I greatly appreciate online reviews and opinions before I make my purchasing decisions. Option 1: Swan M200MKIII...
