I know you probably don't want to hear about buying something else to take care of a problem that shouldn't be yours but there are companies that sell wrist rest covers. www.shieldzone.com direct link: http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/APBK13WR.html This will just cover the...

That receiver doesn't have a digital input so you'd have to use one of these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=665&seq=1&format=2 out of that green port to get stereo (2 channels) out of the receiver. If you want more channels you'll have...

If I moisten the bi flanges (or tri flanges) of my er-6is and fit them nicely up in the ear canal getting a good seal I really can't hear anything but music. I usually reinsert them a few minutes after the initial insertion to get them sealed well rather than wetting them first.

5.1 headphones have been considered the snake oil of headphones. You'd have to ask someone who has a set of 5.1 and a set of stereo headphones around the same value to back that up. The Audio Technicas don't require an amp, that is a nice feature of them. They will sound better with an amp but...

Do a search on this forum for 5.1 headphones and you'll turn up mixed opinions. The general opinion is that 5.1 headphones are not worth your time/money. You can get a much better set of headphones for that budget. I have the Audio Technica ATH-a900's so I believe I can vouch for the sound...

The a900's get a little warm but I don't feel any pressure from the pads on top. I'm wearing them right now and I don't even have sound going through them, I just wear them to drown out fan noise sometimes :)

I would not recommend Grados for gaming at all. Audio Technica ATH a500s are decent option in that price range for gaming. I (and quite a few other people on this board) have the a900's and they are great for gaming/music/movies. Search this board you'll get plenty of results for gaming +...

I would look in to IEMs (In Ear Monitors) the $70 range is perfect for an introductory set. Research: shure e2c (AKA e2g, e2g-n) etymotic er-6i ultimate ears super.fi 3 V-Moda Vibe (not entirely sealed) All are $70 and if used correctly will save your hearing. Ear buds are great for blowing...

I didn't see a price range so I'm playing it safe with a budget below $1000... av123 makes it easy with their x-series packages: http://www.av123.com/products_category_pack.php?section=speakers&brand=55 Some decent receivers...

Technicalities aside, why not test each of your theories by playing a game/movie and finding out what works best for your speakers/ears/drivers/receivers/soundcards/earwax. I don't think anyone should follow a spec when they can clearly hear sounds coming from somewhere they shouldn't be coming...

You should be fine if you've only done it once. Repeatedly using isopropanol and/or ethanol will deteriorate the plastic and make it turn yellow and brittle. Don't even think about using Windex. If you have some really bad build up I would recommend klearscreen http://www.klearscreen.com/ ...

I would trust newegg more than them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836136102

http://maximumpc.com/2006/02/alienware_ozma.html Found that with a quick google search. Ultrasone is a good headphone company so it's good that alienware is using a reputable company. I think the only way this could benefit anyone though is if you get a decent deal on the headphones after you...

As the title says... You guys have probably all heard this and I should be publicly flogged for bringing it back up, but I just had to let anyone who doesn't know about this know. I've been wanting a pair of these headphones for quite some time now so I finally ordered a pair. I'll post a...

Hey all, I'm looking to buy a Flash based mp3 player for a friend. She needs an FM tuner so Ipods are out of the question due to that and cost of the units + buying the add-on tuner. I've been looking at the Sandisk Sensa e260 - $148.54...

More info would be nice... And why do you need ECC RAM? because it's more expensive? because it's for servers and won't benefit someone playing games, video/photo editing, etc.?

You must be using an extremely flawed version of the TCP/IP stack if you're encapsulating your MAC address far enough up that it actually arrives at these so called "MAC address databases".

Yes it has a headphone out but you're still going through all of the circuitry that the speaker manufacturer made, if we're talking about multimedia speakers here (ie. logitech, altec lansing). If you're just using a receiver, usually that's just fine but multimedia speaker headphone jacks...

SJetski71 - thanks for the excellent info. I went to the local best buy here to check out the speakers and they had 2 boxes so once I get some decent money I might go for them the T-amp and that other power adaptor. On the side: It seems like every time I go to a BestBuy I can the same...

So if we're looking at lowest possible cost for a 2.0 setup what do you guys think of this? The Speakers from BB - $39.99 as of now. Sonic Impact 5066 15 Watt Portable Digital Audio Amplifier - $29.99 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90136534&loc=111&sp=1 Sonic Impact Class T...

-(Xyphox)- you're just the kind of person needed at head-fi.org: someone who has the money and will soon see the light (that is not Bose). Read around, pick up a nice amp or 2 and some Grados (RS1/RS2), Audio Technicas(ATH-a900), Sennheisers and/or Beyerdynamics. After you hear what's out there...

Sorry I meant right click, in rdesktop or vnc using the new trackpad feature.

Since I received no response in this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1056146&page=2 I'd like to re-ask my question maybe you guys can fill me in. For those of you that have handled the new MacBooks, how does the plastic compare to that of the old ibooks, I always thought...

For those of you that have handled the new MacBooks, how does the plastic compare to that of the old ibooks, I always thought the hinges and case itself felt pretty cheap compared with the powerbooks. Have they built these pretty sturdy?

all that work and "too" is spelled wrong. :rolleyes:

Heh, I like how the picture is perfectly, slightly out of focus.

I check av123 every few weeks to check their B-stock and they still have there Rocket ELT-1 SW-10 going for $175. I think it used to be $300 (non b-stock) but I could be mistaken. http://www.av123.com/products_product.php?section=stock&product=58.1

http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=130998 ^ A great review of 12 headphones. The reviewer favors the Ultrasone HFI 650 Trackmaster (out of your price range), a900s, and DT770s. I gathered that they preferred the Ultrasones as number 1 in gaming and the a900s and DT770s tie for...

I wouldn't want to get the a500/a700s because I'll just want to upgrade them in a month anyway. Might as well get the a900s and stay away from headfi for about a year letting the wallet come out of its coma.

ah I see. Thought i was missing out on a deal ;)

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they cost to have them shipped directly from Japan rather than through audiocubes? And do you have a link for the Japan direct? Congrats, looking forward to pictures and review. I'm on track to buying a pair of these by the end of the year, perhaps a...

Yep it's a binaural recording. Unless what you are listening to is recorded like this, then no it won't sound like this.

I haven't listened to it yet because I'm not at home so I have nothing but laptop speakers :/ but it sounds like you all are describing binaural recordings. Look it up, cool stuff.
