    Silencing PSU Fan - Am I out of options?

    What power supply do you have ??? Antec, Corsair, Fortron, OCZ, PC Power and Cooliing, Thermaltake ??? Knowing what piece of hardware you are talking about would get more detailed help.   Hard to recommend a solution without knowing what animal we are talking about.

    Resonance with A5s on wooden desk?!

    I have the A5's...Since they are rear ported they are very senistive to placement. I was wrestling around with them and found out about MoPads. Auralex MoPad Monitor Isolation Pads and more Acoustic Treatments at GuitarCenter.com. Really helped with some low end resonace I was...

    Western Digital Drive Sale

    One thing nice about the 500gig Black drives Dircectron has. They are the single platter models. Supposed to be hard to find...I would not know since I live in Houston and buy a lion's share the stuff I buy there. Will bench 2 of the 500's in RAID-0 tomorrow and compare them to the 2 WD...

    Audioengine A5's or..

    My use of a 129.00 dollar subwoofer is two fold...That 129.00 dollar subwoofer has line-in connectors that allow me to go from the RCA out's on the AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 into the 129.00 dollar subwoofer where a crossover keep's anything below 80mhz from getting to my AudioEngine A5's. So that...

    Audioengine A5's or..

    Fry's has the Velodyne VX-10 about every 6 weeks for 129.00 bones...Not a bad choice if you are on a budget. Hard to beat for 140.00 duckies out the door. In my humble opinion of course !!!!!!

    Audioengine A5's or..

    I have the A5's connected to a Velodyne VX-10 run by AudioTrak Prodigy HD2...Sounds good to me for sure. I also have a pair of Mackie MR5's...You might take a look at those. Never heard of this joint but they have some "B" stock MR5's for 119.00 each...So 238.00 for the pair...

    Need 2.0/2.1 Speaker Recommendations

    Some different connectivity options you might want to consider. Some sub's have line-in/line-out connectivity and usually have a crossover...Some adjustable and some fixed that keep the low frequency sound from reaching your speakers. Couple of things here...A 5" or 3 1/2" woofer is not...

    Need 2.0/2.1 Speaker Recommendations

    On the AudioEngine front...I absolutley love their speakers. The only reason I am mentioning the Swan's is the "bang for buck". If you are looking for small speakers for a near sound setting then they really are hard to beat. Front ported so they are not nearly as sensitive to placement...

    OpAmps for Asus Essence STX

    Yeah I just got through putting my Mackie MR5's through it paces paired with a Chaintech AV-710. Seems my setup sounds much different than his MR5's paired with the STX...My office rig sounds nice and smooth...No bright highs, no muddy bottom. Of course my office rig does not have near as...

    Well I have not gotten the STX as of yet...Waiting for my friend to get his Fubar III before he will turn loose of the card. Made me a deal I cannot refuse...80 bucks and it is only a couple of months old. It should be here this week...And I will post back with my impressions of how it...

    OpAmps for Asus Essence STX

    Have an AudioTrak HD2 Prodigy that have 2 OPA2604's paired with a AD8022. Huge improvement over the stockers as recommended by members here at HeadFi. I was wondering if there is a opamp set that is generally accepted as better than the ones that come with the Asus STX. Want to upgrade...

    Last question BEFORE BUYING!!! Which Card?

    Oh make no mistake...I also really like the Asus STX. Great for stereo and headphone use. Rollable opamps...Nice ePCI sound card. And the OP lives in Argentina so the 306.00 is probably what it will cost him in his country in US dollars. Just for that kind of money it would seem he...
