    McIntosh gear.....help please?

    So I've been going back and forth recently with doing a kind of "end game" high level upgrade of my components and I've gravitated towards McIntosh but I have some concerns/questions. And it just kind of seems like (understandably) that the higher up you go in gear, the harder it is to find...

    Soundblaster X7 vs something like Schiit Jotunheim

    So I've been taking a look around recently wondering if there was something I could upgrade to that would provide me better audio quality than the X7. It works totally fine for what it is, but I'm just wondering what else is out there. I have Yamaha HS80M's and Beyerdynamic T1's that I use...

    Better alternatives to Soundblaster X7?

    So I picked up a pair of B&W 685 S2 speakers yesterday and while they still sound really good, I was wondering if there is an alternative out there to the X7 that may give me a little more power/better sound? The only thing I've really seen at this point in my preliminary searching is the NAD D...

    Computer causing hissing in Yamaha HS80M's

    While it's not like a huge overbearing hiss or anything.....you know the deal. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. So I've got these Yamaha HS80M speakers and I absolutely love them, but I just cannot get rid of this hiss. And I know that it is because of my PC because once I turn the PC...

    Having an issue with speaker buzzing with my laptop

    So I have an Alienware 13 laptop and what I'm essentially trying to do is use this at my desk as well as remotely.  I have Yamaha HS80M speakers along with the Yamaha sub and when I have these hooked up to the laptop, I get some speaker buzz.  It's not overwhelming...but it's there and that's...

    Buzz/hum coming from Yamaha HS80M's when hooked up to PC

    Having an issue I'm hoping I can get resolved.     So I've got Yamaha HS80M speakers + Yamaha sub hooked up to my PC via an XLR to 3.5mm adapter (I have a Soundblaster Zx) and I've got this hum/buzz that I'm trying to get eliminated. It's not like unbearably horrible or anything....but it's...

    How do you go about using your headphone amp with multiple devices?

    So I just purchased a Little Dot MKIII, which I've had my eye on for years.  I've had Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 250 ohm headphones for a while now and have wanted to get a decent amp to go with it for a while, and this was my choice.  It came in the mail yesterday (bigger than I thought it...

    Thoughts on purchasing these 2 items?

    Hello, so I'm kind of "new" in the field and I just picked up a Technics SL-1600 turntable to go along with my DT 880 Premium 250 ohm headphones.  I plan on also using the headphones with my PC and will run rca's from my X-Fi Titanium HD sound card to a headphone amp.  My next purchases are the...

    How to determine ohms of DT 880's?

    So I bought some Beyer DT 880's from someone recently, and I guess I actually have 2 questions.   1) How do you determine if it's the "Pro" or "Premium" version as whenever I try to look online at pictures it seems as if they're interchangeable, and   2) How do I determine which ohm...

    Should I consider one of the following Marantz receivers?

    So I'm looking around online and I see the following models of Marantz available:   - SR 2000 - 2238 - 4415   Are any of these worthy of a purchase?  I currently have a Yamaha RX-V565 receiver, so would looking into one of these be worth my time?  It wouldn't be a replacement for me...

    Think I need some headphone DAC/Amp education

    So recently I acquired some Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium headphones, and I'm finding them to be pretty amazing.   But if there is more to be had from them, I'm of course interested.  I keep reading on here about people who have external DAC and/or Amp's for their headphones, and I guess I'm just...

    Just got some beyerdynamic DT 880's, a few ?'s

    I've read here for a while and yesterday I found what I feel like to be an amazing deal, but I figured I would actually post and get some input.   Yesterday I was browsing my local Craigslist and I saw someone had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880's for sale, for $100.  I thought that was a...
