    Games with best sound design...music and sound effects?

    I read that there are mods for Skyrim which enhance the sound (which is already great in terms of quality and immersion).  Does anyone know of such mods?

    Games with best sound design...music and sound effects?

    Kind of old school, but for me, Diablo I is the staple for audio atmosphere.  Walking those dark tunnels and chambers and hearing the devilish but perfect soundtrack is amazing.   I got my first pair of Stax Gamma earspeakers this weekend and am currently gathering ideas for atmospheric...

    Stax SRD-6 + Bravo Audio V1 + HRT Music Streamer II setup possible?

    Quote: Thanks, Spritzer!  The Bravo being my only point of reference, I guess I haven't heard "tube sound".  I will look into a real tube amp in the future.  Is the Little Dot MK III good?   Again, thanks for your help!  This really cleared things out for me.

    Stax SRD-6 + Bravo Audio V1 + HRT Music Streamer II setup possible?

    That sounds reasonable.  I presume the Bravo Audio can be fed to the T-amp to still get the tubey sound out, correct?  Or will this introduce unnecessary noise?   As far as the inputs on the back of the SRD-6, do the clamps and the fat wire do the same thing (provide two ways to get the...

    Stax SRD-6 + Bravo Audio V1 + HRT Music Streamer II setup possible?

    I've been reading the forums here and finally got the bug (nay, demon) to try electrostatic headphones...sorry, I meant earspeakers :).  You could say I'm an audiophile noob with a big desire to enjoy my FLAC collection in uber musicality and detail, on a budget.  Pulled the trigger yesterday on...

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    Quote: Hey, pokee1016, the store I'm looking at doesn't have IRL 530, but they do have IRL 540.  Will it do?

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    Quote:   Thanks a lot for the advice, pokee1016!   Right now I'm looking for a linear power supply.  I found one which gives 22-26V (I'm thinking the Bravo Audio needs 24V, correct?) and 2.25A.  Will this do?  It seems the best option that I've discovered which won't break the bank. I...

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    Hey pokee1016,   Hmmm interesting...I remember reading about the power supply mod but didn't think it would make a difference.  When I was a kid I used to tinker a lot with electronics (I've done many autopsies on still living household devices) so I'll try these mods.  It'll be interesting...

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    Thanks, PurpleAngel, that was indeed the correct value.  I used 16.5 because that's what was suggested in the article I read.

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    PurpleAngel, I fine tuned the voltage after looking at the Rockgrotto forum.  Interestingly, the balanced values on my unit are ~14.5V.  If I increase one to 16.5V, the other falls.  I presume this is OK.  What's important is probably the balance.  Could this be because of the custom vacuum tube...

    Bravo Audio V1 Review - The Little Headphone Amp That Could

    Part I: Bravo Audio V1    When I was 14 I remember listening to the Lion King soundtrack CD on a Magnavox Hi Fi system.  I still remember how emotional the music was.  A month ago I remembered that experience and I got my CD out.  I don’t have the Hi Fi system anymore so I plucked it in my...
