Ground loop isolator. Get one

  So I picked up a second hand STX II for $250 AUD including daughterboard (Retail price here is $399 AUD)   The muses op amps are ****. Listened to them once and put the LME47920NA's straight back in.   Now it sounds as good as the STX. Yet to evaluate if it sounds better or worse.    ...

Have you got the volume in the Asus software set to 100 on each channel? By default, I believe it's set to 76. I have mine set to 88 with no noise that I can hear (my computer fans are loud)

Looking forward to picking one of these up, including the daughterboard.   How to the muse opamps compare to LME49720 and LM6172?   A little bummed they are still using a molex and not a sata connector...   Pricing is also yet to be seen...

Is that a G700 I spy? Nice mech kb as well, what have you got? I've got a Filco MJ2 w/ black switches and a custom keyset from wasd keyboards.   Pics of my setup   http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx299/adrian5606/DSCN0089.jpg  ...

AD700's without a doubt. I say that as a happy Grado SR80i owner. The AD700's are simply more comortable and have a soundstage that surrounds you, which gives excellent sound positioning in games. The AD700's are respectable for music but I prefer my SR80i's - Mainly rock/heavy metal with some...

Owning AD700's for a long time and SR80i's since this week, I say get both if you play games. AD700's are nice general listening/gaming cans as they are uber comfy compared to the grados, which hurt my head after a while, and the AD700 soundstage can't be matched by the SR80i.   Youtube...

I bought my SR80i's this week. Excellent for music! Gaming? AD700 is superior due to the sound stage, the SR80i's just can't do it for gaming. Other than that, The AD700's cable is about 3x longer... which suits my desk. I really need a decent quality 1/4" jack splitter now :\

Using 2xLME49720NA + LM6172IN for one afternoon. I am liking this setup very much on my AD700's. It makes my pink floyd tracks sound a lot more lively, better detail. Best $30 I've spent in months.

Dire Straits - Dire Straits Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - The Wall The Who - Who Are You Rainbow - Long Live Rock 'N' Roll Van Halen - 1984   Just a few of the nice albums I have

  Simple, all the info I need & good contrast. I'm a sucker for the old school green screen style.

Quote: Pretty much this.   MP3 (from CD) vs FLAC (from CD) is pretty tough. There are subtle differences that you need to listen multiple times for. It also depends on the mastering of the recording (whether it's had dynamic range compression done to it or not, or how much of it has...

Quote: Is that a 7970 I spy?  

Quote: Agreed. Though now I'm on a quest to find some good rips... or if all else fails, buy some original press CD's
