    Audiosphere research 15inch speakers

    I had a pair of Audiosphere reasearch 15 inchers when I was a kid and loved them. I was planning on getting the 18L model and was saving up to purchase them when I was 18 or so but life had other plans for me so I never got them. Well, last year, mid August, a nearby neighbor on my street, 3...

    Valentines Day Electronics Gift Guide 2011

    I got my wife a pair of V-Moda Crossfades this Christmas and she often thanks me again and again for this gift. I gave them a try on my office sound system (Onkyo M-5160 amp and P-306RS preamp) using my CD player (no MP3) and I was truly blown away by the sound quality. I liked them so much that...

    The Audio Breakup

    Absolute winner! ... yes, I would enjoy weekly installments. Please do!!!! My wife and I had quite an argument when I was building our (MY) HT room. It ended by her granting me "Carte Blanche" for all electronic components and layout. Man was she ever raging mad when she saw what I spent...

    Denon AVR-4311CI 9.2 Channel Networked AV Receiver First Look

    audiokiwi, I have a Onkyo TX-NR3007, 9.2 which has the possibility of connecting 2 front heights or wide speakers. I decided to go with the front heights and I am truly pleased with the effect of PLIIz. Sports and movies is where I use those most often. My heights really do add dimension and...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    My problem is fixed. Thanks to everyone's input. However, in addition to the external DAC that I bought I also got myself a monster power center (HTS 3000) to protect my gear from power surges (also thought it looked better with the needle VU as opposed to a LED readout). This eliminated approx...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Just started reading on external and internal sound devices. What I can see in most cases are devices that will give you either a 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 surround effect. I just need analog (stereo L+R). I have 4 in wall speakers in my office connected to my Onkyo stereo audio system. I don't mind paying...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Thanks Sholling, I went on eBay to see these things. They are cheap. Lots cheaper than I expected in fact. Are there any brands that offer a high quality product? I have no clue what is good or what is "buyer beware". Thanks again

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Switching to a digital output so the analog conversion is done outside the PC will more than likely fix this. I mean, may as well use your expensive home theater gear to decode the audio instead of spending more. (Worked for me) I do use my computer to connect to my HT via ethernet. My...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    I'm thinking that Shock may be right about the dedicated audio card as opposed to the audio controller on the mobo. They're not that expensive so I'll get one by the weekend and try it out. Together with a good cleaning, hoping the southbridge is not overheating. I did not overclock my machine...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    No and no... In fact I added a dedicated power outlet for the computer and audio equipment. The only stuff connected to this line is the computer, audio as shown in the pics and a light switch (not dimmer) for my closet.

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Hey! just looking at my motherboard's specs and I never realized that I have a coax SPDIF port out. I'll try using this instead to see if there are any difference. I can get a Coax to RCA L+R splitter cable right? Could that make a difference or if there is humming through regular line out...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Thanks s162216, Good point on the southbridge temp. I actually checked all vitals on my machine just a week ago and all seems fine. I have to admit that there's not much room in this small box. In fact, there is a lot less since I changed my video card (Gforce 8800 GTS) from the onboard video...

    Humming sound from computer throught amp. Help?

    Thanks Shock! You know I took extra care to segregate/separate/isolate the electrical and audio wires so I would not have that problem. Yeah, a dedicated sound card does make sense. I will try that and let you know how that went. Thanks again Shock.
