Thanks you're right. I got low pass confused with setting speaker mains to large/small crossover.    I guess option 1 and 2 both allows me to use the subwoofer's crossover for the sub itself.    But the limitation would be that I either play the mains at full range or cut off at 80hz. I...

Ohh gotcha that makes sense. So with this method, the low pass filter should work on the sub still right? Im not entirely sure if the low pass filter will work or not.    This is what the SVS manual says about that:    "There two sets of output connectors on the STA-400D. One set (labeled...

Wait  Sorry bit confused. If I have 1 stereo receiver/integrated amp, you're saying use the Pre-Out with RCA cables and put those into the sub's line in? I dont understand the high pass to speaker amp's line in part.    Currently I'd have a dac into the integrated amp's audio 1 line in...

Sorry i feel like I'm taking crazy pills so someone please clarify this for me. It's about loudspeakers and a sub but I'm sure a lot of you have experience or knowledge with it.    I'm seeing Marantz and NAD is one of the top and most popular selling brands when it comes to integrated stereo...

I'm in the market for new speakers and I have been searching and reading for ****** forever. I finally found the type of sound I like.   You can hear it in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWhld4Zjhfw   That is the floorstanding B&W 683 which is out of my budget unfortunately...

Yeah I'll definitely look into a sound card upgrade. Hopefully not too expensive. Loving the wide soundstage on these open headphones.

Bought a HD 598 today.. my previous listening experience was a Shure SRH840 (owned for 2 years), listened to every crap phone at Bestbuy demo stands including bose, beats, low end sennheisers, etc. Was able to listen to Beyerdynamics DT770s today and also ATH-m50s at guitar center. The ATH had...

I retract my previous statement about the beats. They were good, but they're worth like $75-100 because I finally got to compare it to the audiotechnica ATH-m50s today. The ATH is better than the beats and I also tried the Sennheiser HD 598.  After hearing the HD 598 without an amp (just from...

In the past I've had the Shure SRH840 coupled with a high end Denon receiver used as a headphone amp and the sound was incredible. However, I had to get rid of the rig because it was too big (the receiver was heavy, emitted a lot of heat and I only used it for the headphones. And I also needed...

seriously, i heard this today and they are awesome. maybe not $299 new awesome, idk what headphones ican get for that price but it's certainly one of the more enjoyable headphones ive heard. 

I've had my Shure SRH840s for over a year now and I'm looking to trade or upgrade or try something new.    If anyone has listened to the SRH840s, maybe you can give me some comparisons and suggestions. I love the SRH840s but I haven't heard anything else to compare, they were my only pair...

Quote: Where are you located? I ordered my charger off Mouser for $20 shipped and got the good charger. It took them 2 days to get it over here.  The O2 blog details page has the exact models of the chargers you can use so its really not too hard to just look them up. Plus the charger...

Current chain:   Computer onboard (via digital optical out) > Denon Receiver > Headphone out.     I'm getting a headphone amp and have a few options on how to add it into this chain.    1) Computer onboard headphone out 3.5mm > 3.5mm Input Line In on Headphone Amp > headphones  ...

Quote: I figured it out. It came with 2 sets of screws. I'm good.          On another note, I can't wait to see what his full desktop+usb dac version looks like. This current O2 is said to be better than the new E17 and the M-stage and for $150, it's a pretty good deal, so...

Quote: I'm assuming you bought it preassembled? I bought the front panel and a completed PCB and bought the enclosure somewhere else so I dont have to wait until the preorder is up. I got the enclosure today and can't get the screws on... ****  

Quote: Hm I thought this to be the case but I found out I get DIRECT and 5Channel Stereo and when on 5CH Stereo, it allows for bass and treble adjustment. I could just use 5ch stereo since I don't have 5channels anyway so my headphones and my 2.1 system will get the same as stereo...

Lucky. When'd yours ship out?  I think mine will be here around Thursday.. can't wait. Quote:  

My current loudspeaker setup is pretty simple. Running a digital optical out from my motherboard's onboard to my receiver's digital optical IN. OS is OSX Lion (mac).  Hackintosh (fully stable) + digital optical out > Denon Receiver. Using the Denon's headphone out, I'm listening to my Shure...

Quote: check the objective2 thread. Mine cost me $145 shipped.

Hmm I might call around and pay like $20 for someone to do it for me or just leave it. It has some scratches and stains and smells a bit odd so I wanted to redo the covering. 

Anyone a bit of a hobbyist for painting and crafts? Auto repair, whatever, etc.    I'm looking to COMPLETELY strip everything off this receiver's cover/coating and repaint it. It's pretty much gray on the inside (metal) and the outside is black. It's got some scratches and stains on the...
