EAX helps positioning better in CS 1.6. For example you can hear a guy on the other side of the wall running and shoot at him with a rifle... but you could do that with almost any headphone setup. As I recall, I believe the game uses eax 2.0 You could always run a dual setup and grab an audigy...

I haven't personally driven an echo, but if your brake and throttle are on separate levels then it might be a bit difficult. I drive an 04 mazda 3 5 speed and it took me a while to get the hang of it. My brake and throttle are not at the same level meaning the brake pedal is closer to me than...

Ok, I'm not exactly sure which volume control I should "max" out if at all. I have a m-audio revolution 7.1 and a gilmore lite. Should I max out the volume for the revo and then adjust the gilmore lite to suitable listening levels? I have been using it at half volume on the revo and about half...

Thats pretty interesting jpr703. I've never actually took into consideration the "cleanliness" of the power from my outlet. It does intrigue me that you say the DPS does improve the sound from the Glite, especially in the bass department. I still am wondering if these improvements are justified...

Joey_V have you heard the GLite before? Let me know how your GS-1 turns out and possibly compare it to GLite (if you've heard it before). Right now I'm pretty happy with the GLite without the DPS... but I'm feeling the head-fi bug bite effects..

Ok, I'm just wondering what "benefit" I would get from the DPS for the Gilmore Lite. My current set up is a Gilmore Lite with wallwart with Senn 650's. Now if I happen to attack my wallet for $225 for the DPS what kinds of gains should I expect?

What am I supposed to be looking for?

bump...can anyone else help please?

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking, but the clip from the headphone plug designated to go towards ground is connected to one of R3 of the amp section, which is connected to ground. The ground clip from the source is on the other R3. This is the way tangent had it set up in his picture.

Hi, I recently just finished building the CMOY amp following tangents guide, but I have a wierd problem when I try to test it with the alligator clip setup. If I connect all of the cables the way that tangent described, I get a echo-y hollow sound, but if I disconnect the ground clip from the...

Quote: Originally posted by Xplo I'm running these from the audio out on my MDD G4 Power Mac, and so far, I'm not impressed. Compared to the Sony V6, the 280 sounds a little "distant", even cold. The bass is weak and flabby, with hardly any punch; some EQ helps with the weak, but not...
