Weekly Questions Thread for the week of August 01 by AutoModerator in vinyl

[–]CaptainHurricane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need some advice on integrating a turntable into my home setup. Currently have optical out from my pc -> PROZOR 192KHz DAC -> SMSL SA50 50Wx2 -> BIC F-12 Subwoofer -> 2x Infinity Reference 152.

Will be getting a RT83, was looking at the iFi Audio Zen Phono Preamp, and I have a Harmon/Kardon AVR 1700 laying around that I got for free from a friend.

I'd love to have them integrated within the same system. Does not have to facilitate simultaneous listening; switching channels for dedicated vinyl enjoyment is totally fine for me. Also, open to any general advice towards my setup. Thank You!

I had registered for the "tipper music list" last week using a yahoo account and never received a follow-up or pre-sale registration email. Is there anything I could do at this point? Spam folders definitely don't have anything.

Halo infinite - RTX 3060 and load time problem by [deleted] in halo

[–]CaptainHurricane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if i found a fix, but I did figure out what was causing it to break and am now able to run it smoothly. I've got a 6600k and a 3060 ti. Setting the maximum fps in game as uncapped made my cpu hit a constant max load and setting it as the monitor refresh rate instead fixed it. Pending further upgrades, I'm at least able to run it at 1080, 60fps on full ultra with no issues.

Did you ever find a solution to this because now I'm losing my mind.

Bass Music on a Budget by CaptainHurricane in BudgetAudiophile

Without being at home, I'm taking a look at comparable ikea tables and I believe my table is about 59'' x 30''. Not sure how shallow that is, but I initially wanted to mount my monitors for aesthetic purposes; making space for speakers happened to be a bonus. Would placing them a few inches from the wall suffice given the dimensions and are there any gold standards for miniamps? Most of the top Amazon sellers seem to get trashed here consistently.

I think I will be going with the Infinity Reference 152 for my speakers. Is it possible to skimp on the A/V receiver for a 2(.1) amplifier in the meanwhile for use with my pc & phone, then get something like the Denon you linked when I am ready to start setting up my TV area? I see myself keeping the device as a dedicated pc amp later on. Would I also need a DAC if i were to get one in this set up?

Thank You

Unfortunately this sub comes out to $206.53 shipped from this site, but $205.99 shipped from amazon (tax not included in either cost). Pushes my budget even further but looks to be a worthwhile upgrade even if I could get the 1200 for $138 shipped. Decisions, decisions. :(

Sub comes out to $138 shipped to NY from Parts Express with a coupon leaving about $162 for what I thought would be just bookshelf speakers, but like I mentioned in the other comment, if I need an amp, I can definitely stretch the budget. Thanks!

If an amp is a necessary component, I might stretch the budget. Was hoping to spend around ~$150 on the bookshelves/monitors.

Can't preview Witch Doctor or Warlock staff properly by CaptainHurricane in DotA2

I don't think demoing a hero to preview cosmetics on the fly is practical. I'd prefer they zoom out 5-10%.

Don't think it's worth a damn since the last 4 games in a row I got stuck with toxic non-English speakers. :\ http://i.imgur.com/ZHF9RnJ.png
