I think maybe once while i was burning a CD, listening to music and moving some music over to a USB Drive.

Hm.. Must be quite a powerful computer you got there..

Until then tho, I'd like the best sounding headphones for price i can get

So an amp is out of the question for me... well hmm can a fiio e5 connected to my headphone out do me any good?

Whoa.. Something's not right here..
2GB's of RAM and a duo core processor should not be that weak..

Check your task manager (ctrl + alt + del does it in vista), check the "Processes" tab, sort them by their CPU usage, take note of the applications which use the highest CPU.
Then sort them by their memory usage, again, take note.

I can't think of any other possible explanation than having a bunch of background programs (Kaspersky, for instance) hogging up the resources.

Try checking the resource manager as well.

Life must be horrible knowing that you can't get that beautiful sound with your d2000.. (What? You have D2000's? This is definitely a case of upgraditis then, it's official

)

hmm my laptop isnt to much better then that..2Ghz, 3GB ram. Asus G1 is my laptop.

ya for sure check to see what you computer is running...could be eating up memory with something.

Fortunately d2000 sound great even without an amp. I've compared them and of course the sound with the amp was amazing but i'm completely happy with the sound coming from my laptop.

So yea the ms1 is my 2ndary, but of course since i dont want to upgrade for a long time, i was thinking maybe the sr225 would be a better one.

So im curious about this thing. If I attach a Cmoy or e5 directly to the headphone out and put my headphone into the e5 or cmoy, then the sound quality will be drastically better???

 

[Dominat0r]

no, you just amping the sound you hear when you plug it into your laptop directly.

You might get a slight difference in sound, but nothing drastic at all.

My grados (with comfies) are 1000% more comfortable than my ATs. I have a smallish head though.

hands down 225s! Best Grado value for money wise
