Wh*re, I belive.

PATB: When playing a CD in the G08, and a track is over, does it play the next track seamlessly, without a pause?

Some questions: What is heatshrinking, and where am I meant to do it? I want to make a RCA to RCA cable like this: How can I do the Y splits nicely? I searched google and couldn't find anything . The bottom diagram in my picture is how I would solder the cables; brown is ground...

OK. I might blow my budget some on the source.

I think I'll get this: RS-1's (new): $650 RA-1's from audiogon: $200 Good looking CDP from ebay/audiogon: $400 Headphile Blackgold 0.5mm interconnects: $85 ~$1300 I really want the RS-1s because of their aggresiveness, I read that the MSP's are neutral, which is the reason I don't...

Ok I think I will get a new rig with CDP. My budget is around $1200-$1300. Should I get the RS-1 RA-1 combo and a used CDP like a NAD C521i from eBay? Do you think this is an overkill for metal music, iron dreamer?

So how does a RS-1 compare to a 325?

I dont need an amp for the 225s or 325s right?

I have 580s powered by a PiMeta at the moment, and they sound way too laid back & boring. What are some aggresive & good phones? Thanks!

I LIVE IN SWITZERLAND

No idea...one for $150-200 or so.

What about an Audigy2 ZS? Quote: Superior Fidelity 24-bit ADVANCED HD™ Audio Superior quality 24-bit/192kHz audio, ultra-realistic EAX® ADVANCED HD™ GAME effects, and studio quality EAX® ADVANCED HD™ MUSIC settings taken from http://www.creative.com/products/pro...sp?prodid=4915

Will an Audigy2 mess up my sounds if I use digital out to a high quality DAC or not? Because many of you reccomend a M-Audio card over an audigy2, if I get a setup like above wouldn't the audio signals/data come straight out of the Audigy without the audigy messeing with the signal? Then...

You could look into the for sale / trade forum here, and pick up a mint for $80 or so shipped, or get a very decent amp indeed for $150 , if someone really needs the money. I got a maxed out PiMeta for $150.

Do noy buy the new Sennheiser PC/Mic combos unless all you do is play CS, and even then they suck. Those headphones suck! If I compare them to cheap earbuds that my brother bought for $9.99 I would have to listen carefully to hear which is better. Listening to Metallica or Iron maiden is...
