    NIC issues - Netgear and Vista

    I believe I was using the 3.4.0's, and was correctly uninstalling them each time, as well as using their uninstaller going into C:/ and erasing the folder. If I was as adept with Vista as I am with XP, I'd have erased the registry entries as well, but oh well. I don't recall any event log...

    NIC issues - Netgear and Vista

    Hey guys, I'm having issues connecting my friend's pc to his home network. My knowledge entirely regards Windows XP, so I'm somewhat at a loss here. NIC: Netgear wg111v2 Router: Netgear mr814v2 OS: Windows Vista Home The drivers that came on the disc didn't support Vista, so I...

    M-AUDIO Revolution 5.1 soundcard

    Well that's just wrong. Why do speaker manufacturers publish SPL vs. Freq. graphs? Ah, right, because different speakers color the output sound differently. And if all speakers "only reproduce the sound sent to them[,]" why do Dali Megalines sell for near $60,000, when Polk R150's sell for...

    X-fi Prelude and Insignia Bookshelves?

    shoponkyo also often has refurbs for very good prices. Amazon as well.

    X-fi Prelude and Insignia Bookshelves?

    Your .04% THD is at 4ohms. I'm sure you'll notice that the insignias do not have a nominal impedance of 4ohms, they may drop as low as 5, but I highly doubt they dig down to 4. And 7wpc? What kind of volume are you not looking to get? Granted wattage means much less compared to sensitivity...

    X-fi Prelude and Insignia Bookshelves?

    ...Yeah, man those Kevlar mids are awful. And who the hell puts a tweeter on the top? Go and look at the B&W 8-series. Oh look, both of those features. Edit: And that t-amp looks like it makes 10wpc @ 10% thd, that's horrific...

    5.1 or 2.1

    A high quality (read: audiophile) setup using good pre/pro and positioning will immerse you inside the sound just fine. You can't possibly think/expect a logitec setup will do this.

    subwoofer humming; advice needed

    Oy, I hate when people use the two prong to three prong converters improperly. I work at a hardware store and people do it all the time, so ignorant. There's a green tab at the bottom of them that is spaced just so, to allow the screw holding the faceplate on to be screwed in through that tab...

    Auzen X-Meridian + Swan M200 =

    You're bragging about a BIC? Nice ebay sub... It's good. For $200, which is nothing in terms of good subs. And Swans will have a better FRQ v. SPL and freq. response. (This means better than your polks).

    Randi offers $1M to prove really expensive cables sound better...

    While whoever is at it, they can collect the $5m that someone (I forget whom) was shelling out to whomever could prove that "ghosts" exist. Yeah, no one's won it yet.

    looking for (HIGH QUALITY)3.5mm to rca lead

    The only real benefits to be had here are potentially found in oxygen-free copper, good insulation, and good terminations (if used). Oxygen in copper adds resistance, and that isn't good (easily overcome by using a thicker gauge). High quality insulation doesn't contain chemicals that oxidize...

    Need fairly high end headphone recommendations - up to $500

    So by that what you're actually looking for is an accentuated mid-bass more so than an increase in actual bass. You're not going to get rocked by headphones (or a 2.0 setup of "budget" bookshelf speakers).

    2.0 Bookshelf Speakers

    So I ordered a pair of these from frys.com, and my order shows "Cancelled" but I never recieved an email saying this would happen, and the order shows that they did charge my credit card. Anyone know what the deal is? Looks like it was my mistake. Blah, this means I missed out on these...
