I can only tell you my experience. The leap from onboard sound to outboard sound with an M-Audio sound card was extraordinary. I have great hearing, and consider myself an audiophile, but the difference was monumental.

The most important thing is the quality of your speakers, and how critically you listen. I run an original set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's. I later added an M-Audio Revo 7.1 dedicated sound card. I could notice a big difference b/c it's S/N ratio was so much greater than the on-board sound. I...

He should be fired, PERIOD!

Looks like they went from a discrete power amp with separate output transistors, and power supplies, to a chip amp. How does the new set sound? I wouldn't expect as good.

I think you're missing the point. Great s/c, no s/c, these speakers sound fantastic. That's all that matters. I have a kick ass s/c as well, but if I wanted to buy a great set of speakers, bypassing my s/c wouldn't make a difference.

I gave up on Swiftech when they moved offshore, and didn't lower their prices accordingly.

Times are tight right now. I'm sure it will re-engage in the near future.

Q - Why does Michael Jackson like twenty eight year olds? A - There's 20 of them? :)

Go in, and take a dump on their bathroom floor.

It's not. That happens to be an excellent PSU.

Is this SP/ST switch just going to be a straight toggle switch? Most household circuits on 120/60 are 15 amps. 15A is a pretty common toggle switch.

Very nice case!

Specifically, the LG Optimus V connecting to the internet?

You lucky bastards!

Looks like a very nice solution.

Don't tread on me!

I bet the mids, and highs on those would be awesome. If you're not big into bass, I'm sure you'll be thrilled. It would be nice if they showed some specifications.

I suspect your onboard audio will be fine for gaming.

If it were me, I always buy speakers first, and build around them. I'm running an old set of Klipsch 2.1. I had these for several years before I updated my sound card from inboard, to an M-Audio 7.1 Revo. The difference was very noticeable in a positive way.

Did you run any stress benchmarks, or tests?

LOL, except that's not a bulldozer, but a wheeled loader. Now this is a bulldozer: :p

It's too bad I couldn't find that same track on youtube, to compare them side by side. I would think the artists themselves would have a HUGE problem with them changing the sound of their recordings......

No need to be nasty over a simple misunderstanding. :rolleyes:

Not really. The Corsair PSU all have on/off switches. http://www.corsair.com/power-supplies/modular-psus/professional-series-gold-2/ax750w.html Click the pic and check the rear view.

The 2600K kicked it's butt. in a recent edition of Maximum PC head to head performance benchmarks.

You're talking about an A/B splitter. Never seen that, only this: http://www.audioadapter.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?key=Adpt-2MsfMsm&preadd=action

http://www.gradolabs.com makes some of the best $60 head phones around. They're not well known in the PC world, but in the audio realm they've long been recognized. Here is a link to a review done on the price range you're looking at...

There's one available on that link you provided.

Wish me luck fellas. :D I've used their products for years. I could use these so bad right about now.

Go to HD and get some clear std. lamp cord. Will work perfect, and is a great value.

A set of good speakers is as important to me and a good video card. $250 is a deal if they sound good.
