Haha will do ;-)    And thanks. There are a few local options. I have a mate a few hours away building a studio so i'm probably going to wait until he's cashed up enough to do the treatment and go in on a big order of something. Polymax Absorb and Bradford Rockwool seem to be the local go tos...

Been a while since i've done an update. I didn't get much love at the other forum but have made some big changes over the last few months.    I sold everything except the rega and cables and got some A77x's. Unfortunately setting up out of the corner hasn't been possible so i'm using the...

I made a post there cheers :).   If I go the Opals it seems they may come with their own mic and software to adjust the speakers to your room too. I realise treatment will give better results though so I will experiment with both.    The same shop sells treatment kits which I guess I'll just...

Thanks again Cel. I have still haven't stopped reading and being Australian, have already fallen in love with the Event Opal Actives. The same local store seems to stock them at a good price too although on back order right now so ill call Monday and see if I can get a chance to check out both...

Thanks cel4145 I was beginning to think the length of my post had scared everyone off. ;-)   I just tried the sub crawl and as suspected the rear corner behind me is best. But much too difficult to wire to and the ridiculously long RCA runs it will need turns me off. It goes ok next to the...

Hi guys,   This will likely be long winded but i'll note any parts you can skip.   Backstory (skipable) 3 or so years ago I decided id had enough of logitech and wanted something decent with a small footprint for my desktop which where I do the most listening. Actives seemed to fill the gap...

Quote: Yeah I do now. As you may have gathered from the evolution of the conversation I was learning too. Not that it mattered at all (except to you) or was worth editing as it was the pic without side vents I was trying to show  Was just tryna help with the info i had and I was pretty...

No problem.   I'm 99% sure the latest version is the only one with side vents, but you better wait for one of the masters of the mstage to confirm that. I'm sure it was actually said in this thread already somewhere in the 204 pages. I'm not searching lol, but if you use the 'search this...

Here is where i got mine in May http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330454610560#ht_6491wt_897   They also picture the old version but the one i have beside me def has air vents lol. And they list the technical changes in the specs too.   I assume most retailers didn't bother updating a pic...

Quote: Look for side vents. Old version doesn't have em.   Although they seem to be reviewing the new version here, they have a pic of the old version with no side vents. http://www.headfonia.com/matrix-m-stage/

Yeah that's something I had forgotten about and a good idea thanks. But fingers crossed after a night of reading and hair pulling i may have solved it. Figured its me/my system as i'm struggling to find anyone else with the issue.    I installed the drivers shortly after the windows install...

Just wondering if anyone can share their thoughts on some issues i'm having....   I have the auzentech x-meridian 2g soundcard and have been having issues with it. I have been unable to get the included ASIO, or asio4all to work for more than a song or two no matter the settings (musicbee &...

I made mine sound warmer by changing the cold blue led to a nice warm red one....  hehe   Matches my rega dac better too :-)

Quote:   I started with a very cheap $5 one. . And upgraded it to a Chord Prodac. I think any upgrade from the cheap original would have made some difference though, the original was pretty suss and dac lost its input lock once or twice which would come back with a wiggle of the cable...

I think its been drummed in by now, but again every1 is 100% right. Dont throw $$ away on expensive cables. A $20 cable over a $2 might be a good call, but a $200 one probably wont sound any different with this amp.    When getting into this i stupidly spent a fortune on a bunch of chord...
