I never really thought about it much before besides the fact that I had noticed a long time ago that my gear sounded better when it was attached directly to a wall outlet, rather than to a surge protector. Recently, I was trying to figure out a issue I was having of gaming on my PC and my aim...

Might just be hype but it does sound promising for a good fun Call of Duty game on PC. Some key points that caught my attention: - Lot's of different modes for replay value (competitive league play, several modes of zombies, and a new battle royal mode) - Being a Battle.net exclusive (don't...

What would be the ideal speaker setup between these two options?   OPTION 1: Tube amp pre-outs -> solid state power amplifier (outputting 90w @ 8 ohms)   OPTION 2: Tube amp (outputting 9w @ 8 ohms) connected directly to speakers via speaker posts   Would be a near-field listening...

I'm looking for a portable device that not only supports the usual MP3 and FLAC files I have on my computer but Spotify streaming as well. Are there devices out there that support Spotify's offline listening mode? So I can save songs to the devices memory (or a microsd card in the device) and...

Recently I have been scouring the forums about information on these two top of the line flagship level tube amps that are still in prototype form. Most of this information has come from meet-up threads where very lucky people have been able to give either of these prototypes a listen. Sadly...

Hey guys,   Looking to get a balanced cable for my HD800.   So far I have been looking at the official Sennheiser balanced cable (CH 800 S) and cables from Norne Audio (Solv & Draug)   The HD800 cable is pretty expensive over in the U.S. (380 USD on Amazon) and on top of that, I am from...

I'm looking for a budget pair of headphones. The sole purpose of these will be for laying back in bed and watching movies/anime. Maybe listening to some tunes as well.   I already have a higher end music setup at my computer and not looking for anything major for my purposes.   I just read...

Can anyone recommend some good headphones (have to be wireless) for the sole purpose of watching movies/TV shows/anime? I already have a rig for music but feel the need to get a wireless pair of phones so that I can relax in bad without having those nagging wires all over the place.   Another...

So I have recently started at a new job (Loss Prevention Officer a.k.a. secret shopper) where I am just walking around the store in plainclothes and catching shoplifters.   When it is a quiet day and nothing is really going on I often find myself getting mind-numbingly bored so I thought I...
