There is an odd static hiss coming from the card, it is especially apparent when I turn mic boost on.  I've even purchased a new card to ensure it wasn't just a bad card, and I get the exact same problem Other things I've tried: Turn the GPU fan down (no difference) Give it its own...

Title pretty much says all. I have a subwoofer so the monitors bass response shouldn't be a major factor. Which do you guys think will sound better/can be driven better with this amp?  Edit: The Polk Audio Monitor 30's are in my price range, should I just buy those?  Thanks! 

Title pretty much says it all. I have a relatively cheap active polk sub, and splitters for each AV channel to supply both the subwoofer and an amp/monitors. Bear in mind I like to listen to music LOUD, and use the speakers for little house parties, so im not sure how the little t-amp will...

I'm essentially trying to connect a buddies computer and his subwoofer to a sherwood 4105 (or 4109, same ports on the back)   http://www.compsource.com/large_image.asp?part_no=RX4105&vid=1210  (as you can see, no purple subwoofer out, like seen on most new surround receivers) No DVI, VGA, or...

I'm currently working on my next build, and I'm not sure which setup is better for me. I have a 600Ohm headphone, so I can either get an ST or get a titanium HD paired with a fiio e9 I use my computer primarily for gaming, but listen to music a lot, as well as some movies. Will I be...

I'm on a very tight budget atm, and don't want to go much over 100 dollars (150 max, if you guys think the differences justify the cost). I've heard some logitech z523's at a friends house, they were decent, but I'm hoping I can get a lot better for the money. I'm trying to find a setup...

I just splurged and bought some Beyer DT 990 (600 ohm)'s on a sale, and now I'm completely lost onwhat equipment I should buy! Basically, these cans will be used for both audio enjoyment and gaming Simple enough right? I just need a soundcard, and possibly an amp (should I consider a DAC...

I'm looking to purchase a DT 990 (600 OHM). I'm both an audio enthusiast AND gamer.  However, I'm somewhat confused when headphone amps, DACs, and soundcards come in.  I know an amp is used to power the phone, and a DAC is a digital to analog converter (much better sound quality). However...

My original pair of (non-counterfeit) cx500's gave out, after just four months of ownership... I was satisfied with them, but always open to a different IEM. I need a new set of IEM's without breaking around 60$. I'm pretty much tied between these two IEM's, although I'm always open to different...

I'm looking for a new pair of in-ear headphones. I'm looking for: 1. Best sound production possible 2. Strong bass 3. Decent comfort I'm currently looking at the SENNHEISER CX500's, are there any other in ear headphones around the price that offer better bang for the buck? They will be...

While using google shopping I found these MDR v6's for 60$! https://store02.prostores.com/servlet/bestgoodz4salz/InvoiceAccount?smode=checkout After hearing about how many counterfeit V6's are out there, I was extremely suspicious from the start. To start off, I can't find a single way to...

I am currently looking for new headphones, I don't want to spend more than 70$, but would be willing to go over if you guys think it is truly worth it. I've narrowed down my options to the MDR v6's and the XB700's I own a pair of XB500's and am happy with them, but someone offered me 60...

Well after looking at headphones for around 50 dollars, I've decided upon two. I primarily listen to somewhat bass-heavy music, metal, rock, and techno. I also game.   Sennheiser HD 'audiophile' 515's for 50$ -...
