Magnetik - concerning your "old picture". That sure is a lot of hardware for what looks to be a 2.1 system and headphones? I'm googling the devices in your signature, and I am a bit confused. Is the EQ necessary, or do you just have a very unique sense of where you like to hear the volume in frequency band? It is all very impressive, just trying to piece it together.
BTW - if all discussion is to take place in this thread - we should really sticky this thread as well.
Magnetik I love your setup. How do you like those RP8s? I have been eyeing them myself. But now I am thinking (or should I say knowing) I don't have enough room for such large speakers near my PC. I now wonder if smaller 5" speakers like the BX5a or the A5's are more appropriate except I have been lacking in bass for such a long time, I wonder if I rather go the sub route and put it with my existing cheapo Yamaha M7s. This may be a crazy choice but my M7 have always sounded ok except they have absolutely no base so something like a STF 1 is now what I am eyeing since it is nice and small and sized right for my workstation. Then later I can add the 5" bookshelfs (possibly even passive ones like the Axioms or SVS) and have a nice 2.1.
Just not sure anymore.
Anyway, your setup rocks.
Nice, thanks for your opinion. The only reasons I'd consider the PS210 was because it would match my fronts, aesthetically speaking. But its even better to know that one PS212 can make the walls vibrate.
He has the Ikea Jerker.
magnetik, What kind of desk is that with the Rokit 8's? and what about the clamps for your alesis?
@Crazyjeeper
1998 is not really considered vintage.
thanks
posted my HTPC setup...
forgot to take pics of the speakers on my desk tho lol
damn that amp is insane. it's probably wider than my car. heh how hot does it get?
oh yeah thx for the deq link!
The one on the left is a DAC, which converts the digital signal from your computer to an analog signal that your ears can hear. The one on the right is a vacuum tube amplifier that amplifies the analog signal from the DAC in order to properly drive the headphones.
Any electronic device that supports digital audio has a DAC.. The DAC 'interprets' how the digital music should sound.. Calculations, etc.. Digital music is easy to minipulate, thats why studio engineers love digital. More flexible then LP and analog. Theres over sampling and non over sampling.. NOS Dacs have been reported to retain more of the analog sound..Ie, smoother, less harsh, no digital grunge etc. But NOS DACs are not compatible with DVD, etc..Thank you. Are they necessary?
Where can I find cables for connecting my pmp to an amp. I have seen some really nice ones out there, but I dunno where to look. I would like some short ones for my Cowon D2 to my portable headphone amp, as well as my desktop amp.
Am I seeing things here?
