... and I'm looking for a suitable replacement. My approximate usage: 60% PC gaming, 30% music, and 10% movies. Though I use them primary for games, I do not want a "gaming" headset with a built in mic, etc. My sound card has a dedicated headphone amp, so I can push them if need be. I loved...

Nevermind! I have it sorted. Turns out I need the headphone amp on the ST after all, so the decision is made. Thanks for reading.  

Does such a thing exist? I've been running an Auzentech HTHD since it released last year and I've done everything in my power to eliminate (or even reduce) unwanted background noise ... separating the bracket from the case, adding washers, changing screws, tweaking various BIOS settings...

Heya Head-fi! I have a pair of low impedance Denon cans connected to the dedicated headphone amp on my Auzentech HTHD. The issue is, there appears to be no way to independently control the volume of the headphone output when the phones are not in use. I run my speakers at 50%, but that results...

I own a pair of A2s and a pair of A5s and I wonder if upgrading the wire and cables will result in a noticeable SQ improvement? I'm using the stuff that came packaged with the speakers: 16AWG speaker wire and generic 1/8" audio cables. I've heard both sides of the coin; some recommend upgrading...

Boxing Day is right around the corner, I've perused the Canadian fliers and discovered three subs that potentially rock my world (to be paired up with a set of Audioengine A5s for gaming and music). What are your thoughts? Polk Audio DSW MicroPro 1000 8" for $398 Velodyne VDR12 12" for $300...

I'm looking to make a minor motherboard upgrade in the new year (or Boxing Day, if I find a deal), and I wonder: Is anyone running a PCI-e x1 sound card other than the Creative Titanium with the board (the GA-EP45-UD3P)? Does it fit in the x1 slots above the first x16 slot? Forte would likely be...

Hello! I recently became the proud owner of both a new Auzentech Home Theatre HD 7.1 sound card and a great set of Denon AH-D2000s. Overall, I love the setup. For games and movies, the combo is amazing, absolutely no comparison to the gear I was using prior. However, always in the pursuit...

I'm thinking way down the road here, but I wonder ... If I were looking to upgrade my eventual 2.1 setup (Audioengines + sub, I have the Audioengine A5s, the sub is a twinkle in my eye) to 4.1 or even 5.1, would I be best served employing the same speakers all around? In other words, would it...

Hello! I have a very specific question regarding the Sennheiser HH 10 Headphone Holder and I figure someone around here can probably answer it from personal experience: I want to mount the bracket on a vertical surface, requiring the unit to swivel 90 degrees to the right. However, every pic...

Okay! I apologize in advance for trodding this well-worn path but I cannot seem to find a relatively recent thread concerning this issue, and with Win 7 now settled in and with up-to-date drivers across the board, I wonder if things have changed ...? The old debate: ASUS Essence STX versus...

Hello! I'm currently prepared to pull the trigger on a pair of Audioengine A5s for home PC use, replacing an extremely brutal 2.1 Altec Lansing setup that I cannot wait to kick to the curb. I'm still deciding between the A5s and a pair of M-Audio BX5A Deluxe, but the M-Audio "prone to...
