    Comcast Dramatically Expanding Internet Usage Caps

    This is bullshit, I might be able to handle 750GB limit but going over 300gb some months is easy. I hate comcast, its 110/20, but cap sucks.

    Audio Setup for PC, four Consoles, and cable box

    The reciever would need preouts to use your current active speakers. I am assuming all your boxes are hdmi. If you are getting new passive speakers preouts wont be needed

    Energy RC-10s as PC Bookshelf Speakers

    I almost got Energy RC-10's or NHT super2 but back when AV123 was still a company, I found their top end Onix Ref1 used on classifieds forum for over 50% off retail. I am pretty happy with them and will have them a long time!

    Energy RC-10s as PC Bookshelf Speakers

    Try moving those speakers more away from the wall. I have very similar speakers and specs just a little higher end. I cant get them away from wall so I have too much bass, so i use eq. I had to flip them upside down to get tweeters near my eye level, sort of weird but works good

    Im just getting into PC gaming...what sound system do I need?

    Whats your budget? Do you have a soundcard? Do you listen to music from pc often? Any 5.1 or 7.1 is best left to a Home Theater/Gaming PC on Big TV. Personally a use a usb DAC(basically like a soundcard) that goes to a small amp, and drives my 14" bookshelf speaker. I like to 2 channel Stereo...

    No physical volume on Dac and Amp, questions?

    Are you 100% if I install WASAPI in exclusive mode, the foobar volume will be adjustable and what about other programs like games. I rather not blow my speakers to hell. The volume pot I got probably wont hurt sound quality that much, its a passive device.

    No physical volume on Dac and Amp, questions?

    Ok, so ordered a Schiit Modi2 uber and realized that it nor my Parasound Z Amp have volume control knobs. So I assume Kernel Streaming or ASIO will play at full volume unless I have a pre amp between both devices, correct? Opinions on what I should do, would you get pre and bypass standard...
