Not to mention, before I can even think about speakers, I have to replace my sound card and the MIDI interface for my piano. Now I'm on disability and have an even tighter budget. In 1997, I paid $300 for the Klipsch system and saved for 6 months to get it. I can't afford new speakers, if I could even find ones with comparable performance in my price range. I'm still using my nearly 20 year-old Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speakers, having just recently replaced the foam surrounds for the subs.
Despite the apparent trend towards USB, I'm having trouble finding informative comparison articles with recent dates.Īs I said, I don't consider myself a "snob." Do I appreciate crisp, clean highs clarity that allows me to hear all instruments/voices both individually and together and feeling the kick in my gut of the low frequencies? Hell, yes! But I'm also on a budget and cannot afford a grand for a sound card. I'm skeptical that an external interface, particularly a USB 2.0 interface, is as fast & clean as PCI or PCIe. Maybe I'm too literal, but a woman saying "the kid is not my son"? Just sayin'.Īnyway, I'm looking for a replacement for my PCI sound card. My first college also had an outstanding music program, so "music snob" is just another word for experience, training and plain old paying attention.įor example, whenever I hear a woman sing the Michael Jackson song "Billie Jean," the chorus really bugs me, although no one else can understand why. That comes from being in an extremely good primary school music program that included band, music theory, music appreciation/history, and music composition. I know you were making a joke but, even though I don't consider myself a "snob," I do hear and can focus on one particular instrument/voice. Which all hooks to independent speakers, some go as far as to actually require a external power source, and can connect to over 16 different types of connections (I lost track when I was trying the read the back of the box on that one). you want to be a snob you need to pay to be it, and only the best hardware has independent channeling, multiple sound processors, and NOT virtual 5.1/7.1 but ACTUAL 5.1 / 7.1 sound.(oh by the way 7.1 is passe it is 9.1 that is the standard now if your going to be a proper snob - LOL!). Audiophiles tend to be snobs.able to pick out individual sounds that most people hear 'merged' or overlapping one another.
