mine too..except the charging light will come on very frequently during use and mine is plugged in..you can actually hear it when it is "charging" if that makes sense as it affects the SQ. I sent you an email using my gmail account. Quote: Originally Posted by Mechever Hi Justin...

shizdan- I could have sworn I posted on another thread about this last week and you decided on the z5500s...should have bought it then..now you are doomed to spend more and more lol I can only recommend what I've heard/own so see sig lol..the Audioengine5s are great unless you plan on going...

trust me I had an svs before, which was placed in exactly the same position as my Asub, it was not musical at all. Sadly it seems only the top of the range ultra is known for its clean bass, which cannot be said about the pb10nsd or pb12nsd. I am not the only one who feels this way, try...

neither the svs nor the bic are musical subs, velodyne is a bit better but is pretty low on bang for the buck..on avsforum this may not be an issue but seeing that this is head-fi I believe I can safely assume that you do like music and with that said I seriously doubt that either of those would...

I don't want to burst your bubble, but 8" and excellent extension aren't realistic. At the very least you will need 10" to have reasonable extension at 25hz. If you want to stick with PE, go with the hsu branded subs and go with the 10" version of the one in your link since that will push your...

the aforementioned V7 is discontinued at most of the reputable sellers (and at bhphotovideo even the V8 is discontinued). I bought a Fuji F20 for the wife a few months ago as a refurb for cheap, less than a 100 if i remember correctly and it just kills all the other compacts out there from...

I'm in the 650 + pico camp and thats probably where my head-fi adventure with full size will end since I got into speakers now (doh). The combo has worked great for me for all types of music and works great in movies as well.

hmm thats definitely solidifying my choice in getting the UM2s over the 530s..besides the cable issue (which apparently is STILL not fixed from what I'm reading around here)

the audioengine's are active, i.e. self-powered no receiver needed, which I bought for less than 300 shipped If you want value the z-5500 is about 255 shipped on amazon.com (I saw 215 on slickdeals a few days ago but I couldn't find it). Sometimes I wished I just bought the 5500, since...

I have the Audioengine 5's with an Acculine Asub for the low end. I tried Blue Sky's at a local guitar center early on and they were no better than the z5500s, which can probably be had for close to 200 nowadays if you look hard enough. There is a clarity that you get with quality bookshelves...

I have a D2 and listen to stuff ranging from diana krall, steely dan, to classical piano, to lil wayne/TI/etc. lol Currently have the UE5pros..are the UM2's a significant upgrade?

I tried out the D90 yesterday, the movie mode at least was not great at all. THough other than that it seemed a good upgrade to the D80, which I've owned at one point (only a modest D50 at the moment)

If you can spend a bit more the A5s have a sub out in case you want to add a sub in the future and have a little better extension, oh and they're a bit more powerful too.

this was the AE tech's response: "It sometimes ends up like this with dual-analog amp technology (the way your AE speakers are designed). Sometimes there is a slight imbalance at lower volumes (nothing to be worried about), however, this can be avoided by turning the volume on your speakers...

Am I the only who experiences an imbalance between the left and right at very low volumes (lowest at 7 oclock, between 7 and 8 the right speaker is slightly louder). Past 8oclock they're back to being even. Since these are run through the audio out on the TV, is it worth it running it through...

hah i have the ever popular 18-200VR, but have also switched back to my 50mm 1.4 due to its clearly superior sharpness from f/2.2 and up

eh? when mine is in use it goes from green to female symbol..

I had a chance to finally play with a D300 in a ritz store..and wow it feels quite substantial. It took me a bit to get used to all the knobs/buttons since it's quite different from the D50 setup. But having played with it, I think an upgrade to the D200 is in order. A buddy of mine picked one...

wow Towert..I also have a D50 + 50mm 1.4 and 18-200VR and none of my pics look that good lol...most likely user error though -_-

perhaps..but I think i'll just stick with foobar and change the settings there. I don't think its the TBAAM since it has never skipped in foobar
