I have two animals living in the room with my receiver. Should I do anything about covering the receiver? Or is an occasional clean of some sort needed?   Thanks, M

Hi all,   My new setup will consist of two of these Polk speakers, and this Yamaha receiver. What kind of cables will I need to connect these? Is it just banana plugs on both sides? So could I just get 4 sets of these banana plugs, and this speaker wire? Would that be it?   Thanks in advance M

I'm trying to open these up to replace the cable. I just cannot seem to do it, no matter how hard I steam them.  (Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot.)

I currently have this setup:   http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/audio-video/audio-amplifiers/dta-1-class-t-digital-amplifier-15-wpc.html http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-B652-Bookshelf-Speaker/dp/B002RMPHMU...

Hi gang,   So, I was hoping people could help me identify some IEMs to buy (as I lost my Denons).  There is a particular sound I am looking for, but I'm not entirely sure how to describe it.  I want it to sound "open," "sharp," "crisp," or "clear"; or something like that.  I also DON'T want...

Hi gang,   I was thinking about getting these for my computer: http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-B652-Bookshelf-Speaker/dp/B002RMPHMU   But I think I need an amp for them.  What can you guys recommend?  I'm looking for something cheap but good sounding.  Thank you!

Hi y'all,   I'm looking for relative cheap computer/stereo speakers. I want to be able to hook them up to a TV too. I am looking for something with the highest sound/price ratio.   Thanks!

Hello everyone, Since most of you know so much about audio equipment, I'm sure a lot of you are quite tech-generally-knowledgable, so I was hoping for some help on this issue: I'm looking to purchase a netbook for school, and the only features I really require are (i) word processing and...

Just a heads up, might be bad, but the amazon.com deal today at 2 p.m. PST gives the following clue: Save 75% on true audiophile-quality speakers. So maybe it'll be kewwll... dunno. Amazon.com Gold Box: New Deals. Every Day. Enjoi!

I'm trying to find a durable case for an ipod classic. Is it necessary to get a hard one? What do any of you use (if any)?

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy some IEMs (to make my portable setup more portable). I was going to buy the Fiio E5, and it comes with that $20 PL-30 deal, is that worth it? Are there better entry-level (read: low price, high quality/price ratio) IEMs? I listen mainly to house-type music. THXX!!

So, does the ipod classic 6th gen avoid the problem(s) that the 4th/5th have which require them to be imod'd? In other words, is the circuitry of the 6th gen such that the quality is similar to that of an imod'd 4th/5th gen? THXTHX!

Will good equipment (like headphones and an amp and LOD) make even poor quality music sound better (like 128 kbps or 192 kbps)? Do you guys only listen to like 960/1411?

So, I don't really know anything about this stuff, so I was wondering... (a) why does everyone connect their ipods to their amps via the ipod dock instead of the 1/8" slot, (b) why do people use custom cables for this, and (c) is there like an info. page where I can learn about all of...

Hey everyone, so, I was searching for an mp3 player to buy, and all the threads on it are very user-specific, so here are my details: I own portapros and I am thinking about buying sr60s. I just bought a pa2v2 today, so I will prob. be using that. I listen mainly to tech/progressive house...
