Question about subwoofer isolation.

fallacy:
The price of graphics cards is because of crypto full stop. I mean you are literally talking about paying a couple thousands for a card and then having it run for 4 to 6 months and still paying it self off. There has never been a situation quite like this before, to top it off if it is not like people are only limited to one or a few they can do this with, they can mine with as many cards as they can get their hands on. I don't know what computer gamers are going to do anymore, the only saving grace when this happened last time was when crypto took a dump and stayed down for a while, I don't think Crypto is going to take that kind of dump again.

Howard just wanted to know if he should isolate his Subwoofer....and now the question is ..the price of graphics cards.. FS.

@ Howard, your question was best answered by BadMouth a few posts after your own :lol He builds speakers and has a good understanding of the topic.

@ Xiaou2, your posts are long and full of truths, half truths, and a fair bit of bunk. E.g. getting a set of audiophile headphones is the most affordable way to hear music as the artist intended. I agree, very true! $250+ headphones sounding better than $100K speakers, no.

Wall of text to follow? ::)

I've been using the same set of Altec Lancing speakers and subwoofer since i got them in the 90's.
they still sound great to me.

they look like this.

I have two of these for some reason.
I think one of the better SB cards came with them.

Howard_Casto:
Yeah they make good speakers. I've bought several over the years for various rigs and I've never had issues.

That's the only reason I use them. The Playstation Gold wireless headphones do the job well enough. But if I'm listening to music, I prefer not to have something strapped on my head. A bass drum is also just not the same when approximated by a tiny driver. For movies (and music) , I have a hodgepodge 7.1 setup...a couple of older Bose in parallel for the center, Pioneer S910's for front, A Cerwin Vega powered sub and the rest is filled in with Dayton Audio B652's. All of it remnants of the past, or picked up cheap here and there. Sounds good to me and that's all I care about.

Tracker/MODS can be synthesis, samples, or both. Some of the best C-64 music was made on Tracker software.

Possible, but a lot of those "audiophile" systems emphasize mid to high frequencies. If you want detail, that's where it's at. Even cheap speakers can do a pretty good job in that range with lower volumes and source material without a lot of cross over. But the source material is important. A system designed for classical music/jazz might sound spectacular for those genres, but they usually don't fare well for more contemporary material. It's all about having the right tool for the job. I like many different genres of music (I think Jazz is the only one I really dislike :lol), thus my "Jack of all trades, master of none" comment.

That's the beauty of my approach to audio. It doesn't matter how it works... I think you missed the "If it sounds good to you" prerequisite. Everyone isn't an audiophile, and even some who claim to be have done nothing more than thrown away money for something they are unable (or unwilling) to fully appreciate. It's often akin to paying someone to come to your house and adjust your high-end AV equipment to cinema specs, and twiddling the color settings a day after he leaves. Touch those knobs once, and you could have saved a fortune :lol
