    Room Treatments/absorption panels / home-made bass traps

    If you know you're going to have a lot of space left over in the bookshelf, then I would suggest you get something smaller, and use the saved money to buy proper panels. If not, then keep the same bookshelf, and still get proper panels. lol. I myself plan to go the DIY route with materials from...

    Upgrade from integrated

    Yeah, I think the Asus Essence STX is pretty much the best for music. I used the HDAV1.3 Deluxe, which is slightly below the STX for music, and it sounded amazing. That's a great choice if you use headphones, like you said. However, do you plan to play games and listen to music at the same...

    Original x-fi work with win7?

    I have the X-fi XtremeMusic also, which came out even before the Fatality ones, and it works wonderfully in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Got an Auzentech X-Fi Home Theater HD (mini review)

    Hmm, that sounds weird, that you can't change the sample rate in Entertainment mode. I guess that's no problem, I can still use my onboard sound to send music to my receiver as 2.0 PCM at 44.1khz. Changing playback devices in Windows 7 is fairly easy/quick. Or I can continue using a dedicated...

    Got an Auzentech X-Fi Home Theater HD (mini review)

    This is adjustable right? Because I'd rather play my music at 44.1khz. Ok, good that you point this out. Is there a way to know how many channels is the source? I ask this because that was a big problem with the Asus Xonar HDAV1.3. Lets say that I have a 7.1 setup, and I configure it to...

    X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series VS ATI 5770

    Sure, the PS3 and iPod support AAC, but that's not what we're talking about here, we're talking about your PC. Now, if you say you can't tell the difference between DTS-HD MASTER and AAC, then I believe you. I can't tell the difference between TrueHD and DD(640kbps version). I can only tell the...

    X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series VS ATI 5770

    First of all, I don't know what extra codecs you are using, as I don't like to ever install those. They normally just bring problems. I just use programs that have the codecs built-in. I say this because by default WMP doesn't play MKV files (I use Win7 64-bit). And sorry, I'm not familiar with...

    X-58 with built in x-fi

    It's not a real X-fi card, or at least not the good ones with EAX 5.0 if that's what you are thinking.

    X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series VS ATI 5770

    Damn, a lot of questions. So far the only players I know do MKV are TMT3, MPC, and VLC. So, the deal is that MPC and VLC I think can play True-HD but not DTS-HD Master. Also, I think they can only play when the audio is in a *.ts file, and it will decode it, not bit-stream it. That's what it was...

    New HDTV purchase, need advice

    If it helps any, here my personal review of the 54" S1: Part 1/3 Part 2/3 Part 3/3 *watch in HD* (~30 minutes total) The TV is great for gaming, as input lag is basically non-existent (I didn't test). Phosphor trail is also not a problem, as you NEVER see it. The only way I can see it a...

    What graphics card impressed you the most?

    It definitely had to be the 6800 GTS. Oh boy was that thing fast. It changed my idea of what a PC could potentially do, despite my console fascination, and since then I became a PC addict.

    Plasma reliability?

    I've been looking at a plasma to replace my current Wesy 37". But yeah, Panasonic 2009 plasmas seems to be the leader right now as far as best bang for the buck. I was thinking about this one (TC-P50G10): http://www.fryelcam.com/product_info.php?products_id=88578 ($699.50 + Free Shipping)...

    NVIDIA EDID fix for "bugged" Westinghouse LVM-37w3se

    Ok guys, I finally have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit installed, the real version. However, I experiences the same problem as 3xternal, where the resolution would switch to 1080i after launching a game. Thankfully, using the registry method took care of the problem right away, and now I have...

    Windows 7 & New Hard Drive

    Hi guys, I almost forgot about this thread. So yeah, I got my X25-M G2 (80GB) and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on it, using the Upgrade disk of course. Just like you guys told me, the installation and authentication went smoothly even after installing it in a completely separate...
