Here do you have your TA-10 hooked up to? I'm due to receive a modded TA-10.1 soon and was thinking about either hooking it up to my onboard sound or have it go through a splitter on my DAC.

Its not hooked to a DAC just straight to my genuine Yamaha 192XG Waveforce "Speaker Out" jack and the sound is amazing considering this is a 7 year old card with no manufacturer XP driver and only 16 bits. With my SR80 plugged into the "Line Out" jack, the volume setting on the KMixer slider is less than the first notch before its too loud, that shows the power 192XG has over other soundcards, one of the most expensive(@$200 in 1999) and underrated cards back then. Alot of people have bought newer cards only to come back to their trusty 192XG. If you are lucky you can still find them on eBay from under $10.

Here's brand new pictures of my new rig.

Specs: Intel Core2Duo E4300 @ 3.06 ghz, Gigabyte DS3 Rev 2.0, EVGA 6800GS @ 500/1160, 2 gigs (2x1 gig sticks) OCZ Platinum XTC DDR2 800, X-Fi Xtreme Music, Seasonic S12 430 watt, Western Digital 250 gig SATA, Seagate 320 gig SATA, Samsung 18x DVD +/- RW / Lightscribe drive.

Housed inside a modded Thermaltake Tsunami with the fan grills cut out, all the fans mounted on silicon isolating mounts, and every fan plugged into a speed controller. All I need to do is replace the buzzy side fan and this thing will get very quiet.

Now for the PICS!

Skud, that 6800GS has no right being in there with the C2D

PC needs upgrading/quietening soon. Also need to get a headphone stand!

Get styrofoam head or a plastic one from a beauty supply store.Styro jobs on only about $5 off the net. I use a plastic one that has ears and it also holds my sunglasses and my head phones at work.

I know I know. Waiting a month or 2 for a few more paychecks and a ~200 dollar DX10 card. Till then the 6800Gs is good enough for Counterstrike Source and America's Army with every graphic detail maxed out and plenty of AA/AF. Only games I have slowdowns in are Oblivion with the 2gig 2048x2048 texture pack I added, and C&C3, which looks disappointingly bad for the amount of GPU horsepower it wants.

Thanks for the tip! Although I think a styrofoam head on my table might scare me in the middle of the night. Maybe if I could sculp the head to look like the artwork on Pink Floyd's The Division Bell

Those are a pair of vintage Klipsch La Scala's with a pair of Altec VOTT (Voice Of The Theater) 811B or 511B horns on top. And the La Scala's are either sitting on some kind of DIY risers or it is a small ported enclosure for the K33 woofer, which is a little mod for porting the La Scala's woofers through the bottom of the "doghouse".


How do I know all of this? Well, I kind of have a similar setup in my home theater.

Klipsch Cornwalls with Altec 511B horns and Altec 902-8B drivers.

Is the creature 2's sub shielded? if it's not, I suggest you avoid using it as a headphone stand, it's gonna change how the phone sound over time.
