KRK G3 Rokit 5 + HRT Music Streamer II...ear fatigue - what to do?
The reason for the hiss is you are using an unbalanced output from your dac to your speakers. These monitors are meant to be powered through the 1/4 or xlr jack as they are less prone to noise. I would suggest getting a dac preamp that supports balanced outputs such as the focusrite...- boxthorn

Looking for similar external EQ
If you want the exact knobs and layout with a custom enclosure, it wouldn't be far out to charge $750. That would require custom fabrication, and a matching custom software. No one's doing that for $75.- boxthorn

Creative Gigaworks T20, T40 & Audioengine A5+
If you are simply using the speakers for gaming and movies I would recommend the T40 as it provides a warm, fun sound without breaking the bank. I have them and they are more than enough for simple youtube video, gaming, and movies. If you plan on using the speakers for analytical music...- boxthorn

Paradigm atoms are good, but the ebay listing is overpriced. I would look into purchasing the klipsch b-20 or the psb alpha ps1.- boxthorn

That would require programming the controls so they can match the software. Perhaps someone might do it for $750, but definitely not $75.- boxthorn

Hello, Sometimes I am approached by strangers who have zero feedback and zero posts trying to buy items I've posted for sale. Is there anything I should be cautious of when I am receiving verified paypal payments with verified addresses?- boxthorn

Bought Studio monitors, how to hook them up?
Hello, I bought individually powered studio monitors for mostly listening to stuff. I do not feel like spending another hundred dollars for a usb interface. The two types of inputs accepted by the monitors are xlr and trs. I would like to plug in and switch between my macbook and my cd...- boxthorn

Where to get Triple.Fi 10 Reshelled?
Hello everyone, I have come to the realization that I really like the triple.fi 10's for most of the music that I listen to. It's not great for Jazz or Classical but I have the AKG K701's for that. Otherwise, I am perfectly happy with the sound and I hope that my chasing of the dragon has...- boxthorn

Best small and powerful amp? SQ doesn't matter
I don't think the E11 would cut it, I've tried several Cmoy amps also and they aren't quite loud enough either. I am using a line out from a source that is very weak. Thank you.- boxthorn

Best small and powerful amp? SQ doesn't matter
Hi everyone, I am in the market for a small and the most powerful amp. I have tried the E7 so far and it is not loud enough as I am using a source that is very quiet. I've even tried hooking up the E3 and the E7 together and that doesn't cut it either. It needs to be portable, or it...- boxthorn

[Impression] FiiO E10
Try with different headphones, different files, and try on different amps such as your iphone or your computer. If you are sure it has imbalance problems you should return for RMA. I've had channel imbalance problems with mine, so I returned it and got a new one. Quote:- boxthorn

[Impression] FiiO E10
Quote: I agree with you on that the number of failures are certainly higher because of the amount of amps they produce. However, the fact that Fiio has gone through 2 revisions in just 3 months of time, and the fact that they have now changed the audio jack on the rev. 2 tells...- boxthorn

Their quality control isn't very good, as I've experienced channel imbalance issues with mine, but I got a replacement. Try to contact the seller and see if they'll send you a new one.- boxthorn
