My Neumann KH805 should be arriving tomorrow.
Landon Gutierrez
two subs!
John Campbell
Only one for now. Maybe I'll but a second one in the future.
Isaac Evans
Ryder Howard
Any guesses?
Charles Robinson
VHS player
Benjamin Butler
It's about the right size for that
Cooper Price
ridiculously overpowered i-nuke
Aiden Morales
Dunno about overpowered for my setup
David Rivera
Jaxon Rivera
Amp maybe?
I'm fiddling with mine today. My subs are rated for 400 continuous watts, 800 program, 8-ohm. My CD-2000 makes 560watts at 8 ohms run in stereo. I'm thinking of trying to bridge today and run them as a 4-ohm load on the amp. That would give me 1000 per sub... So a little over but I can limit it.

I have my pallet of 4 full Marty subs coming Monday. Gonna be fun

>Post your weekly audio purchases and such
Who the hell buys audio equipment on a weekly basis? I still have 4 years of down payments on my system xD. Found out that my old DAC I've been keeping in my closet for over a year is worth more used than my Benchmark DAC3 :S
This will be epic
Nicholas Collins
You bought your speakers on a payment plan?
Hunter Scott
A nice pair of Minimus 7's.
$3
Noah Parker
Yeah. My Apartment has increased $50K in value so I thought that I'd take the opportunity to get myself a high-end rig :). My down payment is twice my rent every month xD
Kevin Taylor
What size of a room you have?
Kayden Bennett
Guys, would this work?
Michael Howard
Yes
Wyatt Sanchez
Sort of.
It's probably strong enough to support a bookshelf speaker on top, but the box at the bottom would only be made of 1/4 to 1/2 particle board. A reasonably powerful sub would rattle it apart.
That said, a powered sub / speaker stand combo might be a good idea.

If you live in an apartment with this much audio gear, I hope you die in a fire.
Jeremiah Scott
I live in a house, but yeah when I lived in an apartment I had a small setup. I struggle sleeping with noise so I was always very respectful.
Liam Cox
Is this how poor people actually live?
Jace King
Yup

I could never finance audio equipment. That's really senseless m8. I hope you are joking.
Alexander Kelly
Should I?
Nathan Morgan
forget pic...
Grayson Reed
do it
David Phillips
>I could never finance audio equipment. That's really senseless m8
Why? People finance everything. I have like $40K debt on my apartment+stereo and that's nothing in todays economy, and I have resources worth way more than that. The speakers increased $1600 in price two months after I bought them.
Jack Lewis
bought all this around 2006 still using it daily.. the amp was build in 1997 BAT VK-200 and I have once had to replace a bridge rectifier a few years ago.
Wyatt Flores
Those Acoustic Zen cables are so fucking cool
Isaac Hall
they are the Hologram II's and the Interconnects are xlr Silver Reference II's the CDP power cable is a AZ Krakatoa and AC from the PS Audio Duet is the AZ Tsunami Plus while I assembled Oyaide Tunami bulk AC cable with P/C 004 terminations to run from the Oyaide R1 outlet to the Duet.
Jaxson Kelly
You really like cables don't you :)
I'm not a big believer in cables, but have on many occasions considered swapping my Audio Quest Water interconnects for Benchmarks own (canare cable with neutrik plugs) and my speaker cables with Supra Rondo 4x2.5 as I think the Benchmark will have better shielding than the Audio Quest and the Rondo having lower resistance and better shielding than my current Supra PLY speaker cable.
All power cables in my system are Supra LORAD 3x2.5
I would like to measure the impedance of my fuse-box and see if I can improve it with another kind of fuse, and if it's worth running LORAD 3x2.5 from the box to my system.
Also, have some nice music:

WTF? That's tons of wasted money.
Connor Roberts
Don't worry. Class D amps are garbage anyway. And Behringer is garbage. Why buy this?
Xavier Ramirez

What's the best affordable small speaker? Shoe box size max
Luke Hall
>falling for the cable meme
yikes
Bentley Moore
If it is for subwoofers, probably not really an issue sound quality wise, but yeah Behringer is shit and there are plenty of alternatives for just a bit more.
Anthony Reed
yah i am skeptical when I hear people ascribe different "sounds" to different cables... I tend to think this is 100% mental.. at one time i did test different interconnects.. One were Siltech and the other Nordost Tyr both very high end pricey interconnects.. I thought I noticed two distinct qualities... one [Tyr] was something people call 'soundstage' or 'separation' where you sense definition between various instruments as they existed during the recording and the other [Siltech] cables seemed to have an extremely quiet background or low noise floor as the audiophiles might say..
EE's all laugh at people who suggest different conductors create audible differences in output sound.. The idea that the metallurgy can affect signal transmission consists of the idea electron flow can acquire energetic qualities from the transit sounds like the basis for the audiophile notions... the Acoustic Zen and Oyaide zero chrystal copper extrution and annealing process claims to eliminate copper chrystal boundaries that it is said infleunece the current or signal flow... I really can only consider the shielding and insulation of the cables as having discernible affects and those are just rejection of interference, reducing skin effect and capacitance. The type of metal imparting some quality or other to the sound you get from your speakers? Sounds like mythology.
Logan Scott

Going much above a basic monoprice co-axial shielded interconnect is a bit pointless.
Logan Jenkins
When I needed a digital cable to use the 24/96 digital input on my CDP I saw lost of expensive options but after studying the facts I just bought a 6' Canare with some nice terminations for like $20 or so..
One place I did have a problem was after I bought this $550 umbilical to run between the power unit and the DAC/Player on my Resolution Audio Opus 21 I read a post where someone emailed Jeff Kalt the designer of the unit about it.. he ships the CDP with a simple computer D Subcompact cable. He replied there was no basis for the use of a .999999 pure silver conductor because the cable merely carried some low level voltage instructions like open drawer, next track etc. so I considered selling it but when I put the stock computer cable in I though I heard a less open result in the sound I put the silver cable back in and it seemed to sound substantially more open and coherent.. I couldn't explain it but I noticed it... then I considered that the cable supplied the DAC with the current from which it creates the signal sent to the Amplifier and over a better conductor like this refined silver and much bigger insulation could allow the DAC to generate that signal with more accuracy.. so i kept it.
Luis Reyes
oyaide ac cable is too stiff
acrolink is better
John Jackson
supra is shit
they use tin plated copper
Angel Fisher
hypex ncore is pretty good
John Walker
>Why buy this?
Seemed like the best option for power needs. And it was recommended a boat load so I figured why not
Kevin Peterson
I hope that cable thing is a joke.
Ian Williams
Fuck this trend of laptops not having stereo input jacks anymore. Got this thing for $175 used and it does what it should.
Joshua Lewis
actually the AC cable price retail was off I forgot to add the Krakatoa which at 6' is about $800.
Jason Evans
just bought a new edifier 1700bt for 120$ at their site, how did i do? did i screw up? besides from the used market, what else could have i bough that would outperform this speakers?
Benjamin Carter
For analog audio it might make a small difference but with digital audio if you hear it it's as good as it'll get and only the downstream equipment can affect quality.
Joshua Bennett
All you need is balanced connectors and it's golden. The only real worry is the wires to the speakers themselves
Bentley Walker
Don't die on me
Andrew Wood
Nice bait, made me reply.
Aiden Torres

Hahaha thanks for the laugh.

whats the best no-BS mini amp i can get for my computer. im getting into production and want the best sounds i get can from my pc with out any RGB LED audiophile upmarket shit
Jacob Collins

Christopher Johnson
Most of the speakers seem to be powered, are you sure you need separate amp and shit?
Xavier Adams
No. Bad for placement.
Juan Bennett
does the aune-s7 have the same output impedance problems as the anune-x7S?
Lucas Mitchell
I don't have speaks, I just plug [spoiler]apple earbuds[/spoiler] straight into my aux
Michael Rodriguez
well you're set then
Jack Nguyen
Is my freight pallet here yet?
Matthew Cook
aune-s7 $570 vs jotenhiem $400
Jeremiah Diaz
I'd say anything above studio-grade star-quad cables are stupid. A cable can't get much better than that, and audiophile cables with their exclusive materials are often of a inferior geometry so they end up worse.
Pic related, induction hell
Henry Cook
>What's the best affordable small speaker?
Depends on how much you can afford. I'd say the most expensive Genelec that you could afford.
Juan Morris
balanced vs unbalanced opinions?
Henry Sanchez
Do you have a fork lift?
Hudson Clark
Balanced is superior in theory, but how it works in practice is a case by case scenario.
I personally would opt for a star-quad balanced cable.

Very nice for what they are. Detailed, open sound.
Owned too many speakers and had to thin out the herd. Brought mine to the thrift store.
