I'm having a heck of a time trying to configure both soundcards to communicate with each other via SPDIF. I've tried many things and no signal is being received in patchmix. Any suggestions on how to properly set up patchmix, order to install the soundcard drivers, etc.? Please help! - Steve

I've recently been getting back into gaming, and it didn't take long to realize that the 0404 doesn't cut it for gaming. Various aspects (sound effects/music/speech) will cut out at random times in F.E.A.R. for example. So i'm looking for a way around this that isn't a pain (reconfiguring the...

Currently I run my audio signal to my speakers via 3 different interconnects. For example, I run Cantus ICs from my EMU 0404 to my Gilmore Lite, then I run a Monster Cable IC from the Lite to my Dayton subwoofer, then I send the signal from the line out on the subwoofer to a Sonic T-Amp via some...

Am I hurting (i.e. changing) the sound of my music if I use the following settings? Foobar Album Replaygain Preamp +6 DB gain (since Album Replaygain alone takes away so many DB) Patchmix Trim Pot -0.1 (Prevents all clipping, with maximum DB) The reason i'm trying to maximize the...

Does there exist a video player (that plays standard video formats like avi/mpg) that allows you to resample the video's audio on playback? The reason I ask is that I prefer to listen to audio at 176400 on my EMU 0404, and it's tedious switching patchmix sessions to 44100/48000 when I want to...

My Gilmore Lite's blue LED, is blinking like crazy (this is the first time i've actually noticed it blinking - it could've always been blinking). Is it supposed to blink? At first I thought maybe it's blinking to the beat of the music (that would be cool eh?) so I paused my music and it kept...

I recently received a brand new Gilmore Lite and have some questions about the "Loop Out" feature. As I understand, the Loop Out doesn't work like a pre-amp, it just sends out the audio signal without adjusting it (gain etc.) at all, right? Also I assume that the amp will not be damaged by...

Recently i've been looking for a CDP to use during the summer because my room gets really really hot listening to music all day on my computer (which pumps 90 degree air into my cramped apartment bedroom). Anyway, it seems that the NAD C521BEE is the most highly regarded CDP under $300, so i've...

I have a Woo Audio I tube amp with pre-amp functionality, and have yet to use the pre-amp. I seem to remember a post that warned about it being dangerous to headphone tube amps for there not to be headphones connected to their output while the amp is on. Is this true? Because I would like to use...

Anybody have any experience with these interconnects (http://www.fidaudio.com/)? I'm interested in peoples opinions on their sound quality. I purchased them today with the emu 0404 breakout adapter (also purchased the 0404, it was time to upgrade my m-audio revo 7.1). The IC's had a pretty cheap...

How come 6AS7 and 6080 tubes are so hard to find? Most of the online tube stores do not sell the 6AS7 or 6080, and one's that do sell them sell unbranded 6080's or a variation of the 6AS7 (6AS7G). Is the 6AS7G tube the equivalent of the 6AS7? Thanks, - Steve

Please excuse my ignorance, but I was wondering, what are the functions of the two different sizes (6AS7/6080 & 6922/6DJ8) of tubes used on the Woo Audio 1 amp? Also, what is the purpose of the big steel shield on the top rear of the amplifier? - Steve

I recently acquired a pair of Senn HD-580's and have been trying to decide on an amp for them. I've read just about every post on amps for the HD-580 and the Rega Ear is said to be quite synergetic with them, but i'm also quite interested in tube amps (and not a whole lot has been said about the...

I'm confused about the inputs for the Rega Ear, their website describes them as "connecting to the tape output of an amplifier via phono leads," are these like L & R rca inputs or what? Just thought i'd ask before I decide to purchase it or not.. Thanks, Steve

Has anybody heard the following? Foobar (uberstandard mp3's) -> M-Audio Revolution -> Singlepower PPX3 or PPA -> Audio Technica ATH-A900 I'm really looking for a way to upgrade my headphone setup (i'm thinking about an amp, and i've been eyeing the ppx3 or maybe a ppa). For a long time I...
