So I found an old vintage looking radio in my garage (replica type of thing made in the 80s). Basically it was trashed. So I stripped out everything and am now left with an empty box. I already have a new speaker and a small amp ready to go. That leads me to my question.... How can add radio...

Well I've been enjoying my MS1s for a couple of years now, they're still rocking pretty hard. However living in the dorms there are moments (more often than not) where I'd like to spare my roommate from hearing my tunes (all while canceling out him watching TV). Some background. I listen to...

Just got them in today. Hooked them up via SPDIF from the Emu 0404, and turned on what I consider to be my benchmark songs (Clapton Unplugged -Signe 1, Whole Wheat Bread - Loud and Clear, Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons, Grateful Dead - Sugar Magnolia [from Hundred Year Hall]). All I can say is...

Alright I need some speakers for my dorm room and eventually an apartment. Mainly they will be used for the computer. Now here is the problem, do I go bookshelf speakers or the 2.1 computer speaker setup? My output is an emu 0404. I have an old JVC 100w receiver at my disposal. Price range...

The pimeta->MS1 combo right now is pretty good but sometimes it seems lacking in the bass department. I know that the MS1s are capable of some solid bass because I can hook them up to my old receiver and be in bass heaven. However the rest of the musical spectrum is sort of lacking on that...

I just had a thought. If someone is building a desktop computer and used one of those cases with the headphone output on the front, why not add a cmoy in there and have it output through that jack. Or replace the jack in the front of the tower with a better type. Wouldn't have to be a cmoy of...

Picked up a pair of the KSC 75s finally. All I'm gonna say is the hype is real. I doubted but they truly do come sort of class to the MS1s. Overall the MS1s sound better but these hooked up to my new shuffle are awesome.

So I'm looking to add speakers to my rig (just bought a $30 sonic impact t-amp). As you can tell by my amp I'm not looking to break the bank on this one. I do also own a 70s era JVC receiver thats fairly nice but needs a little maintenance before I'll use it regularly (Volume adjustment doesn't...

So I decided that I'm going to build a switch so i can go back and forth between my t-amp and my pimeta. Then I got to thinking of just making a passive preamp while I'm at it. Now here's my question, how could I add controls like bass and treble boost to a preamp? I assume it would then have to...

I use my emu0404 to output to my pimeta right now. I just bought a t-amp so I can hook up some bookshelf speakers that I have around. Basically I'd like to add a pre-amp or maybe just a simple switch to avoid messing with cables all the time. Any advice on cheap products? (Think under $40...

Over the holidays I am looking into getting a new monitor to use in my dorm room. Since I will being watching alot of movies and tv shows (and doing some graphic work) I think I would really enjoy a widescreen. However I need some recommendations on something around 20 inches or so. Probably no...

Going to see the Dalai Lama speak tomorrow using my free student ticket. I dunno, just thought that was kind of cool and that I'd share it with all of you (i'm in a weird mood tonight i guess).

Well I've moved into my dorm. It isn't a terribly large place and we have a very small 13 inch tv. But I do feel the need to play some madden on my ps2 so I was wondering if there is a good solution to playing it on my computer monitor. Is there a video input device that would be able to play...

Just wondering what everyone's favorite toppings are on their pizza. I personally love cheese and mushrooms. Somedays I like to go all out with mushrooms, sausage, peppers, olives, etc. But overall I gotta stick with the simplicity of just mushrooms.

Just a heads up for all you out there (like me) who have yet to pick up those insignias that people are raving about. Best Buy has them on sale again for $40.

Well the way I see it, a good watch is one of the basic staples of a man's possessions (headphones too of course). I'm addicted to wearing them, I find it necessary to have one on at almost all moments; it literally drives me crazy to not have one. However I lack one that is fitting for dressier...

Well for my drom I don't plan on using headphones all the time. So currently I have my old JVC Vr-5505 hooked up to my computer with 4 random speakers that I don't really know how I acquired. It sounds decent but I've been wondering about replacing them (2 of them are rather large so bookshelf...

My sneakers finally gave away and sort of broke today. As I have been unfortunately blessed with somewhat wide feet this makes shopping for shoes a real pain. Anyone else have wide feet and know of a company that makes good looking shoes for us strange folk? I checked out zappos and have...

As I was listening to my music the other day I couldn't help but feel that the MS1s jsut weren't wowing me anymore. Initially I shrugged it off as simple upgraditis. However while trying a new plugin for foobar2k, I noticed I didn't have it set to ASIO as the output. Changed that quickly...

Well I'm looking to pick up a laptop before the start of the semester. Anyone have any good recommendations. Ideally $2000 would be a good number to spend but i can up it to around $2500 if the situation calls for it. I'm not real worried about gaming but would like to have something with a...

Normally I listen to my MS1s at a very comfortable level. Today I had my pimeta turned up for a movie I was watching. Of course I forgot to turn it back down and when I started up some music....well it was louder than I normally woudl listen to. The song was Bad Religion's "The Empire Strikes...

I don't remember how but I discovered that I had the radioshack version of the Koss Plug. Since the sound out of these things is awful I decided to make it my first recable job. Radioshack near my house is closing (the whole store is on clearance) so for about $5 I bough a stereo plug, and 50...

Well the plannign for a new pair of cans is slowly taking form (I'll miss you money!). So anyways, I'm using MS1s and am happy with them. Thus I sort of feel obligated to stay the grado path and jump to some RS2s. I like rock, I like the grado sound, and basically I know I'd enjoy them. But I...

Well I'm not necessarily in the market right now for an amp but I probably will be in a few months. I currently use MS1s (might be upping to some RS2s come next semester). Basically I want to know what amp will really bring out some impact in the bass department. Ideally I wouldn't want to spend...

Alright I was thinking of buying and modding some KSC75s (probably pick up two pairs just in case something goes wrong....or if nothign else to do comparisons). So I've pretty much figured that I'll recable and do the kramer mod (can anyone tell me how these two will change the bass...I like...
