    Downgrading from High End. Need some cheap recommendations.

    This year has been tough for me financially. I'm selling my HD 650's as well as my tube amp to downgrade to something else. I was thinking about getting some in ear buds (something like the Sennhieser CX500s) as well as either a standalone HTIB setup or maybe a couple of powered...

    cant get ID3 tag info from a CD

    you have to manually enter the info yourself. The filenames of the tracks (probably what your cars cd player is picking up) have absolutely no relation to the info in the ID3 tags. You can do this automatically in foobar however. It will allow you to auto tag the filenames as the track titles.

    Need fairly high end headphone recommendations - up to $500

    Make sure you have an amp for the 650's. If you run them directly from your soundcard they won't sound their best.

    Need fairly high end headphone recommendations - up to $500

    The DT880s aren't bass heavy at all. I owned a pair before I owned my 650's. They have a huge soundstage recessed mids, bright highs and fairly weak bass. They'd be good for gaming and perhaps lively acoustic music (think new age or jazz) but they aren't the kind of headphones you want to wear...

    Good backlit keyboard?

    I would strongly advise against Deck keyboards. Check out the 2nd page on this thread I made a while back http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1187561&page=2 I wanted the ultimate compact, mechanical key, backlit keyboard and was delivered a huge pile of feces instead. The pics don't do...

    Stalker: Huh?

    People panning the game because they suck at it are just ridiculous. Stalker was an incredible game. Go back to playing Star Wars Battlefront (maybe lego star wars is better) if you can't handle it.

    Auzentech Prelude still crackling/popping in Vista

    What's your volume level set at? I mentioned before that if it's set too high it can sometimes cause clipping, I noticed that if it was set too low though, say around 30-40% that I would get noticeable emi interference when I would scroll my mouse, use the mouse wheel, open programs etc.

    Auzentech Prelude still crackling/popping in Vista

    You sure it's not clipping? Try turning the volume level down to 75% or so and see if it goes away.

    Pondering a switch to ATi

    I'd honestly switch to ATI in a heartbeat after all my troubles with nvidia the past year. That is, if they offered the same level of performance as recent/future nvidia cards in the same price bracket.

    Post your HeadPhones!

    Those look nice. I mainly want to recable just to have a shorter length. I've read (and have witnessed myself) that cable length can affect sound over analog equipment. I've witnessed this personally when using a 9' cable and a 15' cable over a pair of speakers. The longer cable was ever so...

    Are those cardas cables aardvark? I really want to recable mine but don't want to spend ridiculous money in the process. Thinking about doing it DIY.

    Just won a tube buffer to go along with what I have now... I'll dig out an old digicam from my closest to try and take better pics. I really don't have much use for a camera otherwise

    I'm using them in the auzen prelude. You can switch out the opamps in it. I bought 2 different types of brown burr opamps to test. I switched out the stock chinese driver tubes for some mullards and it made a huge difference.

    Post your HeadPhones!

    Apologies for the terrible quality. I changed my lighting (put a lamp behind my monitor which looks very nice IRL but not so much in photos. And I'm using a camera phone. I need to get a new digicam. Kind of interesting because the tubes show up as purple in the camera phone but they're...

    Post your TF2 scores!

    http://steamcommunity.com/id/ogmios/stats/TF2 haven't played in a long time. I gave it a shot over the weekend and was terrible compared to when I first started out.
