Hello, all. Long time lurker, first post. So, I'm on the verge of overhauling the audio setup in my computer. I'm currently using (and have been using for quite some years) an Audigy 2 ZS outputting to an Altec Lansing MX5021 system. I'm looking to upgrade to the HT Omega Claro Halo sound card...

  hello all i'm new here and have constantly be recommended to join and read up on these forums for the higher audio knowledge. have always been used to listening to cheap $30-70 headphones and now i want to enter into a world with better sound quality. i plan on 7.1 after listening to...

I'm planning on making my first major investment into Hi-Fi audio, at least full sized ones. I've been doing tons of reading on both the headphones in the title and I understand that the HD800 beats out the HD650 in almost every contestable area but I'm at a serious fork in the road here.  ...

I will be buying a Stax system in the next few months.  I will most probably be pairing one of the Omega 2 models with a BHSE or a WES.  Without getting into discussion about which amp is better, I would like those who have heard both to specify which version was to their preference. If they...

 I haven't been on this site in years (literally), but about seven years ago I was a very active memeber of this site! I've owned the r10, l3000, several stax models, majority of the highest end grados (ps1,hp-1,rs-1,alessendro's) and tried pretty much everything that was at the time a major...
