um... i wouldn't put it sideways either way...

yea, all that nice heat from the transformer bathing the rest of the components constantly... i wouldn't do it, personally... but, as always, that's my opinion... a rack is the way to go...

there might be some heat issues...

before they close it... what was it? just in case someone else has the same problem...

yea, i'm thinking the same thing... i think that you should be getting her the ipod in addition to something from your local jeweler... :)

wag, i don't think you'll hear a difference, because your speakers are going to be the limiting factor in the equation, not the dac... but i'd try it anyway... never hurts to experiment... :)

i got my wife an ipod mini for christmas last year, and it was definite winner... :) side note: and she's about as techie as they come, male or female, but there's more to things like this than battery life... ;)

geez x, now you want him to actually read the documentation???? :eek:

this is a good place to start...

are you asking because you've tried it both ways and can't tell the difference?

what part of "if" didn't you understand in that quote? :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: did you read the link that mister x posted? if so, i think you should read it again... for example, "jitter" is ONLY a function of degradation of a "bitstream"... :rolleyes: believe what you like... but at least understand the facts behind your beliefs....

hey, it was your turn... :p

it's gotta work better than the crapola on-board on my wife's thinkpad... for 30 bucks, it's worth a shot...

i WAS tempted... :D they oughta put me on their payroll... :)

ummm... you would be incorrect... good cables make a difference... caveat: ridiculously expensive cables, imo, are "voodoo audio"... but well constructed good quality cables are worth paying for...

one of the great truisms of life... :) that usb device looks to be pretty nifty... have you used one x?

suit yourself... you obviously didn't understand why i said to ask the question that way... :rolleyes: to the op... as far as audio review being "on with their reviews"... maybe with the editorial reviews... the consumer reviews can be taken with a grain of salt...

come visit in the computer audio forum and phrase the questions as "how would these work/what receiver could i use with my soundcard?" and you'll get some response...

actually, since the signal to the subs is probably split, it's not even an "upmix"... depending on your ability to position, dual subs can be real helpful in eliminating nulls in the low end of the frequency curve... not that that is really a consideration here, but more as a "by the way"...

:rolleyes:

for 10 bucks, why don't you get the x-230's and tell us which ones are better?

and, it would seem like to me, about 95% of the time it's the cable tv feed that causes the ground loop...

wow. never shown that in his role as moderator... :confused:

front left and right to either side of the monitor, ear level or slightly higher... center mounted to the wall just over the monitor... rears on stands...

a) what type of music do you like to listen to? b) what brands have you already listened to that you "like" and what ones have you listened to that you "don't care for"? we need the answer to question b before any type of intelligent answer can be given... what i think would be the "best"...

are these going to be used while sitting at the desk?

yup, that's what i figure...

most "high-end" showrooms don't use denon's to demo their stuff... sorry... certainly not the 2805... "high-end" consumer ones, maybe...

you mean power cables count as wires??? :p

1) maybe 2) maybe 3) depends on your ears 4) maybe 5) could be :) if it was a simple as comparing price tags, audio would be a lot easier...

<wonders if he can pitch the 'cat ate the cable' excuse to his wife?> :D

well??????? you mounted them yet???? results!! results!!! inquiring minds want to know! :D

looks like it got damaged in processing to me... that's not unusual... my business processes tens of thousands of pieces of mail a year... you'd be surprised what the sorter machines can dish out to envelopes... the "double-wrap/triple-wrap" thing is ludicrous... :rolleyes: do you do...

yea, that's about right... i wouldn't go much farther over 15... from the op: "you have to admit it would be terribly inconvenient to burn cds just to listen on the HT" nah, i wouldn't admit that... burn 'em while you are surfing... :) but then again, it's unlikely that i'd spend...

ok, i rescind my first post then and scribble a mental note about this... :) to the op, i'm curious... why do you want to connect it? you have a collection of mp3's or something on your computer? if so, you can burn a LOT of cd's for what this solution will cost you...

x, you think it's worth spending the 280 on that instead of running a cable? you can get a 40 foot coax cable from bluejeans for around 30 bucks, and i don't believe signal loss would be an issue (although i could be wrong on that)...

yup. 30-40 feet of cable... :)

????????????? they most certainly DO add bass, even moreso because the limited space within a car creates so much more "room gain"... as far as a 40hz tone needing 26 feet to "properly develop"... i'd like to see that link... waves don't "develop"...

yea, x, that'd probably work better, but even then, placing the fronts is gonna be hard... that narrow a room with that big a tv sitting in the middle is going to be very difficult to make work, the seating distance from the tv necessitates a certain amount of speaker separation, and they are...
