    random noises on 1212m

    #1 i'm getting random static on my computer audio, and it's most definitely coming from my sound card. basically, only some of the time for short periods of time, i would get a faint buzzing in the background, which then disappears back to nothing. so far, i found no pattern on why it would...

    Noise problem from 1212m

    ok, now it's come to this as a summary the audio coming out of my speakers were scrumptious, as was the audio out of my headphones, but something new happened: i hear a ground loop noise from my speakers. I unplugged everything except the computer and speaker amp, and ground loop noise is...

    Noise problem from 1212m

    ok, after some careful testing, i came to the conclusion that it's the computer. mainly because unplugged everything from the wall and computer, then plugged in the amp and computer together, then straight to the wall. buzzing sound was immediately heard when i hit the power button for the...

    PC speakers recommendations

    i put in another vote for the swans. those are basically the same thing as mine... well, almost. their woofer is a sidestep from mine, and my tweeter is superior, but the same company made all the drivers in my speakers and the swans. for the price, it's unbeatable. the quality is outstanding...

    EMU1212M quick question

    you'll want 1/4"(M)->RCA(F) adapters. two of them. then you can then use rca cables to an amp or a stereo RCA(M)->1/8"minijack(M) to the speakers or amp. if you really need, you can also buy a stereo minijack(F-F) coupler. oh, and if you don't get it, M=male, F=female. you can find these at your...

    so someone i sold my headphones to just showed up at my house..?

    ooooook... after reading ALL that (whew), i have these things to say: both parties are guilty. the buyer was guilty of being what i would call a "dick". shows up unannounced, and does it in a very odd fashion. the seller didn't ship it on the promised day. in fact, he KEPT it for 5 days. in...

    turning wood black spekaers to birch

    kinda running off of rick's idea: if it's MDF, take off the old veneer if you can and sand it down with a fine grit sandpaper. you know if the sandpaper's fine enough when the wood stops becoming "hairy" by feel. then you can just slap this on...
