QUOTE (PosterBoy @ Dec 31 2012, 09:34 AM)  After selling my amp last night I'm almost at the point of having the money for my pc build. And I'm definitely at the point of 2nd guessing all my choices. I've changed my cpu to a better one as it was only €20 more. Researched Cpu coolers for hours and still hoping the one I choose won't get in the way of the Ram sticks It's a time when things are getting real and not a far off dream, and I don't want to make a stupid mistake, it won't make the wife happy Most important information I can give is. Make sure model numbers match up to exact codes. Last year I built a PC, well it worked for about a week. Started installing my games and it would BSOD every time I tried to install anything. Then it was so bad if it ran for a hour I was excited. I ended up replacing everything in the pc because I couldn't find the problem. In the end it was the motherboard. The box said my chipset worked, but I found out it worked but wasn't compatible in the long run. The motherboard was made before that chipset was. So I learned to check every little detail after that. -------------------- Guitars:

QUOTE (llibach @ Jan 14 2013, 10:07 PM) ... Would you recommend buying a pair of studio monitors and not go through the separate amp on my stereo then? would that give me a better sound quality? Was thinking of the Tannoy reveal 501a if that was the case. Don't use your hifi amp if you can avoid it, whilst some hifi power amps are good enough to run passive monitors most are less than ideal.* For a home studio the better option is nearly always to use active monitors as you don't have to worry about matching the amp to the monitor. * The sort of hi fi amps that are good enough to run studio monitors tend to be ones made by Krell, Cyrus, Martin Logan and so on. All are in the audiophile bracket of hi fi and are expensive. The more common hifi amps, ie Sony, Panasonic, Marantz, NAD etc aren't really suitable. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

No monitor is perfectly flat, transparent and neutral so all impart some colour
 . The issue is arguably more how they do it and how much they do it by. Tannoy Reveals are fine for a home studio. I'm assuming the 5 in 501a refers to the size of the bass driver. If so it may start to roll off somewhere around 90Hz so you need to think about how you will hear the low frequencies..
