  1. Hi all,

     

    PC onboard sound/WAV files->mini jack 2 RCA->headamp->cans

     

    hearing quite a bit of background noise. Considering one of the following options to

    cure the problem. The noise increases with inc in volume to the point when I scroll mouse it starts

    to distort further.Its quite obvious on slow tracks. Need your advice on which option would be most practicle.

     

    1) get a sound card (currently using onboard sound)

     

    2) get a USB dac (externally powered)

     

    3) change my PC power supply

     

     

    Thanks in advance


  2. I missed my 2channel system so badly that i got a budget set up after ditching it for pure headphone rig recently. Now im screwed.

     

    I have to use an RCA splitter (fro CD7300 to Corda heamp amp/digital receiver) and the sound sucks (bright /thin) via headphones.

     

    Is there anyway to MOD a second pair of outputs on my CD7300?

     

    tks!

     

     


  3. From looking for cans for late night DVD movies, it has got so outta control it has come to this (enjoying it nonetheless).

     

    Marantz 7300 - second hand

    Corda HA-1 MkII - - second hand

    Zu Oxyfuel IC - had it for some time

    AT900 Ltd - new 50 hrs in

    Grado 225 (Beyer headband/Senn 414 unmodded) - good 200hrs

    Senn 600/650 (when the price is right or when the itch becomes unbearable tongue.gif )

     

    When I want my "Sultans to Swing" - the grados are it..toe tappin pleasure.

    Vocals/jazz trio etc. AT900's controlled treble/tight bass are great..no complaints.

    The midrange is a touch forward (which is OK with me) but just lacks that bit of warmth.

     

    Down to my humble plea for advice/recommendations.

     

    Will the change of interconnects, addition of footers or introducing resistance/attenuation improve the situation?

    Note : Im not willing to change source/amp to achive my objective

    Budget for tweaks..max 100 bucks

     

     

    Thanks!
