Hey guys, Just looking for a receiver to replace my Sonic Impact T-amp that I'm using with my Energy C-100s/Klipsch Sub-10. I'm just looking for something that would be good for music from my PC in general, with some decent power and hopefully better reliability than my T-amp (started dying...

I found a Denon avr-590 for $120 on craigslist (apparently new from an overstocked warehouse), and I was just wondering how the DAC on it is? I just want to use it for my simple computer setup (Energy C-100s + Klipsch Sub-10), and I know its more than powerful enough to run the Energies, but...

Hi guys, I'm looking at a Marantz SR7500 on Craigslist and the guy is asking me to make an offer, but I have no idea what it goes for :S Apparently it's in "mint" condition.. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi guys, So right now for my PC setup I'm using Energy C-100s powered by a Sonic Impact T-Amp along with a Klipsch Sub-10. Really happy with it, but been having problems with the amp recently (left channel cuts off randomly, only seems to fix when I turn amp off and on multiple times). But...

Hey guys, I was looking to get Dell Studio 15 for school (after figuring out the Asus U80V-A1 mysteriously got discontinued :( ), and I wanted to get some more information on some of the configurations. First of all, I was looking at the video card upgrade. In Canada, its $100 to upgrade from...

Hey guys, I'm going to university next year and I've been looking to get a laptop that is a compromise between performance and battery life, and something that is decently sized. I found the Asus U80V-A1 which has the Intel T6500, 4GB ram, 320GB HDD, 14" 1366x768 screen, ATI HD4570 512MB, and...

Hi guys. This September I'm going to be attending university (first year). I want to buy a laptop so I can take notes in class and do work on, but I would also like something that can play games decently. I was wondering, is it possible to get a laptop that is less than $1500 CAD, has discrete...

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. This thread can be deleted. I'm running windows 7 with the new Virtual PC Beta. I'm using the "Virtual Windows XP" mode which allows for hardware virtualization. Is there anyway to run more than one Virtual Windows XP instance at a time? I couldn't figure it...

My friend is interested in buy some headphones for around $100-150 CAD. So far he's been eyeing these headphones. What do you think of them, and can you suggest any others in a similar price range (that I can get in Canada)? All prices in CAD: Equation Audio RP21 (New) - $150 (tax included)...

Hey guys, I just realized my subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and its about a foot away from my desktop. So far I haven't had any troubles, but just to be safe, how far away do you think it should be from my PC? Would it even affect my desktop at this distance (1 foot)? I'm...

Hey guys, I bought a Klipsch sub-10 about a month ago, and it's been great to me so far. However, for $30 more ($280 tax included as opposed to $250 tax included), the 12" is now on sale. My room is about 10'x13', is it worth getting the 12" Klipsch Sub-12? I might not even get the 12"...

Does anyone know how this monitor is compared to the Benq E2200HD? Do they both use the same panel? I can't seem to find much information on this monitor, so I figured I'd post a thread. Thanks.

I'm a bit confused on the whole soundcard for Vista thing... I've heard some people say that soundcards are pretty useless for Vista, but I don't know why they say that. Can anyone clear this up for me? Also, what are some good sub- $100 DACs? How do they compare to the sound cards of the...

I was looking at Audio Advisors amazing deal on the ESW-8 sub, and I wanted to see if they shipped to Canada. Apparently they do, so I put in all my billing/shipping information to see what the total would amount to. However, when I did that, it showed that there are no shipping and tax fees...

Hey guys, I've just received my T-Amp on Friday, and I'm waiting for my speakers and sub to get here (Energy C-100 and Polk PSW303). I opened up the T-Amp package, and noticed that it came with 1 cable with 3.5mm connector on one side, and RCA on the other. Then, it also comes with an RCA...

Well Futureshop has an online only sale going on right now that would give me 20% off most Home Audio products: The Energy C-100s are on sale from $150 to $100, and 20% off makes them $80. With taxes and shipping, this bring it up to $110. The Polk PSW303 is not on sale, but 20% off of the...

Anyone heard this sub before? I just want general thoughts in terms of sound quality, and how good of a value do you think it would be for around $190 CAD (shipping and taxes included, and assuming it even goes on sale... :p) I have a feeling the lack of an in-store pick-up option kind of kills...

First of all, I'd like to apologize for all the threads recently, but as you can see, I'm really trying to get myself a good quality, and decently priced 2.1 setup for my computer. So, I finally narrowed down my choices and here is what I came up with: Subwoofer: Klipsch Synergy Subwoofer...

Has anyone heard of this sub? It just went on sale on Bestbuy Canada for $250 (I think the regular price is $400), and I was wondering if it was worth picking up. I plan on using this with either the M-Audio AV-40s, the Behringer MS40s, or maybe even the Polk RTi4s (if they get in stock) for an...

I'm not sure which one of these bookshelf sets I should get. I play games quite a bit, but listen to music more. I listen to MP3s @192kbps or more, most of it being trance/progressive. Oh, and also I use my ASUS P5K Deluxe mobo's integrated realtek sound card. Therefore I would be using digital...

Saw this in this week's flyer, it can be found at this page. Not sure if it's on sale, or just a price drop, doesn't really say. I was planning on getting this along with the Behringer MS40s. Does anyone know/have any idea how this sub would sound? How do you think this would compare with say...

I remember someone saying that the Behringers can make compressed mp3s sound bad. Is this true? And what does compressed mp3s mean. Is it just low bit rate mp3s or any mp3s? I usually listen to music that is at least 192kpbs, would the Behringers sound fine for this? I've been planning to...

edit: wrong section, sorry.

Hi guys, I've been interested in buying an Ikea Jerker lately, and I was wondering what a decent price would be for the desk (just base shelf), plus 2 "hutch" shelves, and 2 swivel arms? Also, what do you think about the Fredrik? I understand that it probably pales in comparison, but what...

Hey guys. I've been thinking about getting the Behringer MS-40s for a long time now, but I don't want to get them without a good subwoofer. I've been having trouble trying to find a good subwoofer in Canada for around $150, maybe $200 max. Problem is, I'm really skeptical about buying anything...

Hey guys, I got the JVC FX-66 for $16 bucks, but I was wondering, are the Ultimate Ears Metro Earbuds better than the JVC? I can get the Ultimate Ears for about $25, and I probably should've gotten both to test them, but I didn't think of it at the time. So I was wondering, is it worth it going...

Hey guys. I was just wondering if there was any other media player that has the feature of iTunes where it moves everything in your library to a specified folder. This is a feature of iTunes I really love, but iTunes isn't really the best media player, and it kinda sucks when you want to sync...

Hey guys, I was just wondering, if I were to get a setup like the one in this thread, how would I go about controlling the volume? If I'm assuming correctly... If I were to change the volume on the speakers, if would not effect the volume of the sub in proportion to the speakers right? So if...

I was looking around on PartsExpress and saw this sub for only $20. Is this still usable without an amp as long as you have a reciever or something? This is pretty damn cheap, I'm sure someone could use this for a budget bookshelf setup if it sounded half decent. :P The Spherex sats seem pretty...

After exploring some decent "PC speaker" options for around $100, I decided to see what I could get if I spent $200 for a better bookshelf setup. I saw Spaceman's alternative to "pc speakers" thread and I was interested in that Behringer + Dayton setup because it seemed promising in terms of...

Hey guys, I was wondering.. Are the Logitech z-2300 a good deal for $100? They're on sale at Tigerdirect.ca and if I were to price match them at BestBuy or FutureShop, I was thinking I could "test" them out for a week or 2. I realize the Swan m10's are probably a lot better for $100 but I...
