What is a great computer for college students?

best speaker system for $1000 image

evenevan2

Hi I will be entering college during the fall semester this year and I need a good laptop. I am currently looking at the 15.5" Dell Studio 15 and the Sony Vaio VGN-NW350F/S. I am looking for a computer for around or under $1000 and has a good graphics card and a good speaker system.

Answer
I got the Dell studio and its great perfect for college.

What computer for under 1000 dollars can play world of war-craft new expansion at ultra high settings?

Wes

The only pc games I would be playing is Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, and world of warcraft cataclysm. I have 1500 dollars saved up but would prefer a system 1000 dollars or less. So all I'm looking for is a system that produces ultra high setting quality Blizzard Entertainment games. I was looking at Ibuypower.com the other day and comparing it to alienware but I want to hear from real experianced gamers.

Answer
I play World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. I bought a Dell Desk Top and I paid $1300 for it, but I had to pay a delivery charge, and I paid for a warranty and real nice speakers. If you minus those 3 things, it might be near $1000. I think your best bet is to just go into Best Buy or some such store that sells computers, tell them what you are looking for, wanting to do with you computer, and how much you are willing to spend. One of my friends did that, for a game called "City Of Heroes" and he paid about $1000 (little under) for a real nice Gateway, with an even nicer monitor than I have. This takes away a delivery charge too.

How do I connect a speaker system to an HDTV and a ps3?

best speaker system for hdtv image

Chris P

I'm getting an hdtv tomorrow. How would i go to connect a speaker system to it? I'm gonna connect the ps3 through an HDMI cable.

Answer
Since the PS3 is connected to the TV you dont have to worry about it.

You just need to hook up your TV to the speakers. It really depends on the system but when you get it there will be instructions and most likely color coded cables that will match perfectly. Its all very simple.

Derek

I'm wondering if there are any better speakers then the Logitech Speaker System Z623, I'm thinking around the price range of 500 or around there. I use them for PC speakers so more then 2 speakers would not be necessary.

I would recommend a 70v system. this will allow you to have many speakers connected to 1 amplifier. and you will be able to tune the volume at each of the speakers.

companies like TOA sell 70v speakers for indoor / outdoor , on wall or in wall mounting

How do I connect 5.1 speaker system to a single laptop mono output other than buying a soundcard?

speaker system 5.1 image

pigtummy

I have just bought a 5.1 speaker system. but it has more than 1 input! I have only 1 output from my laptop, as a result I could not play half of the speaker. Any cheaper alternative than buying a soundcard?

Answer
Get you self a firewire or USB sound card or if your laptop has an out optical you could use that, but again thats if your 5.1 amp has opitical in.

I really nice sound card for a laptop is the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook

Is there some way of connecting a 5.1 surround sound speaker system to a USB port on my laptop?

Colin

I have a decent 5.1 speaker system for a PC. I no longer use the PC but use a laptop and do not want to buy a new speaker system if there is some device out there which will allow me to run the 5.1 . Yes I am aware that I will only receive sereo from the laptop.

Answer
Not that I'm aware of unless the laptop has a super sound card built in that has the drivers needed to support 5.1. You might want to post this in computer instead of home theater. Too many people think this is where all the geeks hang out, but that is not the case. Try computers.

Speakers for college dorm room a good idea?

best speaker system for dorm image

gorilla

I like to listen to quality music, and usually the best way to do that is through good speakers with a sub woofer. My laptop speakers are ok, but they're not as good as getting a separate speaker system. However, I know that when I am in my dorm room, I will not be able to play music very loud due to roommate, neighbors, etc. So I am wondering if it would be worth it/ a good idea to get speakers. I found nice ones for $40 that are pretty compact as well.

Answer
Yeah, til a neighbor comes and yanks them off the walls. You are not living with your parents, where you can get away with blasting them out, you will be in a dorm, shared by many other folks who may not appreciate your noise when they are studying. Better to invest in a good headset, than get someone angry at you to start your dorm life off. Learn about respecting others needs.

What is the best component speaker/stereo system for under $200?

Caljugglin

I have $200 and I wanted to get the loudest best sounding speaker system. It would be for my college dorm.

I wanted to get Cerwin Vega's but thats to expensive unfortunately.

Answer
$200 is not very much money to budget on a new stereo system and if you found one for that much it would be plastic made in China crap. Don't despair because there is hope. In all honesty the best stereo system you can get for $200 is a used one. I strongly recommend buying a vintage stereo receiver and speakers. The "golden age" of audio was roughly from 1972-1980. This was when manufacturers were competing against each other in what was known as the "receiver wars". Some of the best looking, quality audio components were built during this era. A vintage 30 watt per channel receiver easily outperforms a new 100 watt receiver made today. Luckily there is a market for these because there are avid collectors of these units. Quality receivers were either built in Japan or U.S.A.. Search craigslist, ebay, thrift stores, and garage sales for receivers made by Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz, Kenwood, Technics(Panasonic) just to name a few. You shouldn't have trouble finding a good one for $100 or less. Same goes for speakers. Only buy speakers made in the U.S.A., Japan, or Europe(usually Germany,Denmark, or the U.K.). Be careful when buying vintage speakers. Pay close attention to the condition of the surrounds on the woofers if they are made of foam. Those generally tend to last only around 10 years or so. It's possible to have foam surrounds replaced though. Rubber surrounds last almost indefinitely. I had a system before that consisted of a Pioneer SX-780 receiver($100) and a pair of Pioneer HPM-60 speakers(REALLY lucky score for $20 at a garage sale). You's have to spend well over $1000 for something new that can compete with the sound quality of that. Keep in mind that you can connect any CD player or MP3 player to the AUX input on these receivers. Good luck with your search.

Which is better for me the Logitech Z623 or the Z523?

David

-I don't plan on listening to anything past 50%.
-I want to have the clearest sound.
-I want good deep and clear bass.
-I will mainly use it on my PC to watch media and maybe gaming.
-I am only going to use it in my small bedroom.
-Price really doesn't matter.

Answer
- Is there a neither option? Just to answer your question, the 2.1 Z623 is much better than the 2.1 Z523, but they both have their flaws.
- Logitech speakers are overpriced garbage.
- Example: The Logitech Z906 is their best 5.1 system, but it does not even do HD audio and is overpriced (some people even prefer their old discontinued version better) = Your better of getting a proper surround sound system that consists of a receiver and passive speakers.
- Example: The Logitech 5.1 Z506 is a total waste of money. The Logitech 2.1 Z523 is a total waste of money and any 2.1 system lower then that is a total waste of money. = They call these kiddy toys.
- Example: Every Logitech speaker system has something wrong/flaws with it, just read the reviews and you will get what I mean.
= I hope you can find better active speakers than the Logitech Z623. I got a tip at least tho, you want to wait until black friday so everything is cheap if you live in the US.

How can I get my jWIN JS-P701 2.4GHz Wireless Home Theather Speaker System to play from all of the speakers?

reptileguy

How can I get my jWIN JS-P701 2.4GHz Wireless Home Theather Speaker System to play from all of the speakers? It only came with one adapter for the red/white audio cords.

Answer
That is such a goofy speaker set up and a first for me.

OK here is what is going on. This is a powered speaker set with no Dolby decoder. It will accept for surround only 3 sets of RCA's from a DVD player. I will include a link to a DVD player that has theses so you know what to look for. Make sure to look at the back panel image.

This speaker set is really just a modified PC set of speakers.( note the three mini to RCAs adapters only available in the box mind you).

If you don't want to get a new DVD player you can get a home theater receiver with what ever digital audio connection you have, as long as the receiver has pre outs to hook up to the speaker set. Will include a link to the one that has this.But that is counter intuitive to buying a powered speaker set.

Your only other option is to hook to up to a PC with the correct 5.1 sound card.

If it is a new purchase I suggest take it back and get a 5.1 system that will work with your existing equipment.

PS also look up white van scam I think you may have been had.

Where can I find an "idiots guide" to outdoor speaker installation?

wireless speaker system yamaha image

Katherine

I don't even know where to start. I need to know what I need to do a full installation of an outdoor speaker stereo system. Questions I have range from: What kind of receiver do I need? How do the outdoor speakers hook up to a receiver that's inside? Do I need an outdoor volume controller? If so, how do I hook that up as well?

I really need "start from scratch" instruction guide. Please help.

Answer
Not sure where to find an Idiots Guide but can tell you what I did with outdoor speakers.
First, buy speakers that are suited for outdoor use. I mounted them under the overhang of the roof around the patio.
Lot's of choices on speakers, some are designed to look like large stones that you can place in a garden, etc.
I ran speaker wire to the inside where the audio equipment is located.
Have a Yamaha receiver that is hooked to the external speakers as well as the inside speakers, TV, VCR, etc.
The receiver has a speaker switch. You can select the speakers you want to use. It is like an A/B switch.
You can also buy wireless speakers. They will be more expensive and I am not sure how well they work.
You might go to Radio Shack and see what they carry in speakers. Have them draw out the hookups for you. I am not touting Radio Shack, any number of good stores handle audio equipment.
I would not want to invest a tremendous amount of money in exterior speakers. To many things can happen to them and you will not be able to tell the difference in sound quality outdoors, anyway.
Good luck

How loud can I play my car speakers without risking blowing them out?

speaker system for a car image

Andy

Simple car, simple speaker system.

I don't understand how speakers work and why the blow, so to protect my investment I want to know how far I can reasonably push them.

Answer
If the volume on the car goes to 30, turn it up to about 25 at the max. If the sound starts to distort, then you know you are doing damage to the speaker.

How necessary is a subwoofer for metal music in my car?

I have fully upgraded my speaker system in my car. head unit, back speakers and front speakers. everything sounds fantastic, but the bass is a little weak.

An example of the music I listen to is A Day to Remember. They have alot of bass in their songs

Answer
A single 8" or even 10" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure will do you just fine for your ride. The bass will be clean and quick responding, deending on what kinda sub your gonna be running along with what kind of amp.

What is the best home theater system at a low price?

best speaker system for the price image

Matt

I would like some recommendations for good audio speaker systems at a low price. I am on a budget, and would like to find a great sounding system with a subwoofer for $350-$550. I'm sure they're out there! Please help!

Thank you

Answer
Well, you're not clear on what exactly you need.

A good HT audio system includes a home theater audio receiver, a set of speakers, in budget systems, we're talking 5.1 systems, and maybe some of the source devices, such as a disc player, be it an upconverting DVD, or a BluRay.

The first thing is that the all in one systems that include the disc player in with the control unit are just garbage. They tend to have bad speakers, and ones which have proprietary connections, so you cannot use them without that system's control unit. Then, there's the fact that having the disc player be built in with the control unit of the system means that you cannot later upgrade it, and that if it breaks, your whole system is out of action.

No, if you want good sound, and good connectivity, plus the ability to upgrade one part of the system without replacing 100% of it, then you want a separate audio receiver, and a proper home theater speaker set made by a company that specialises in speakers.

A good pick on Amaz*n would be a Yamaha 371BL receiver, going for $190 (list price $250), then add a Polk 705 5.1 speaker system for $250 (list price of $600). Add in some 16 gauge speaker wire (100 feet for about $12), and some connecting cables (digital optical cable-connects TV audio out to the receiver, so that you can listen to the TV's sound through the HT system-$5; HDMI cables to connect the disc player to the receiver, then a second one going from the receiver to the TV, $3 each; and a subwoofer cable, about $8), and you'll be set for good sound for years to come.

Call that just under $500, all included.

What speakers should I buy for Sony PS3?

best speaker system to use with ps3 image

Jack B

Hi guys and gals,

I've got a budget of about £300 to buy a speaker system.

I've been looking and all the decent systems have blu-ray players included. I don't need one as I have a PS3 which is more than capable and it seems silly to waste money on another blu-ray player.

I know the PS3 needs an digital optical input and was also looking for the possibility of rear wireless speakers!

Any suggestions would be exceedingly appreciated :)

Thank you very much

Answer
I managed to get a Sony Receiver and speakers (5.1) for £299 but this model is no longer being made. It has 2hdmi in and one hdmi out which is great for the PS3. you may be able to look around and find a similar deal.

What do i need in order to hook up a PC sound system to my flatscreen tv?

Mitch

Flatscreen: Apex 32" Class 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV -
PC sound system: Logitech LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System
I'm trying to connect them along with my PS3.

Answer
Your HDTV is a 5.1 device.

Your computer speakers are 2.1.

See the problem? You need something that will decode the optical from the HDTV as 5.1, then "cripple" the sound by down-converting it to 2.0. Then you need something that will connect the output to the headphone jacks which are standard on computer speakers.

Basically - it wont work, some asian company may make a device for this but it's not common or popular, and computer gear is NOT room filling or made to hook to home theater gear.

Thats 3 strikes I'm afraid.

How to speed up iTunes from 5min load times?

speaker system genius image

hah2001

It literally takes 5 minutes to load, honestly. I turned off Genius as a tip, but not sure if that will do it. Any other suggestions?

Answer
See this video if you are lazy to read all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnjG0DIiEs


Disable Unused Services
Apple assumes you own an iPod, Apple TV, iPhone, and other Apple products. So there are services that are enabled by default to find them. If you donât have the devices, letâs start by disabling them. Open iTunes and go to Edit \ Preferences.

Then click the devices tab and uncheck Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes and Look for iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad Remotes.

If you donât have an Apple TV or donât want it to check for it during startup uncheck Look for Apple TVs.

If youâre running iTunes on a stand alone machine another thing you might want to do is go to the Sharing tab and uncheck Look for shared libraries.

Delete Smart Playlists
If youâre really serious about making iTunes load and run faster, then disable Smart Playlists. Some users love this feature an canât live without it. But if you want to make iTunes load almost instantly, delete them. You can still create your own playlists and it doesnât slow down performance as much as the Smart Playlists.

When deleting a playlist, youâll get a message asking if youâre sure. Check Do not ask me again and continue deleting the default playlists.

Disable Genius
If you havenât turned Genius on, then donât. If you have it enabled then turn it off. While itâs enabled youâll notice that itâs doing a lot of things in the background, taking up resources.

Turn off Cover Flow
While the Cover Flow feature offers some cool âeye candyâ, it can run slow, especially on older systems. The other problem with it is you have to flip through album by album and that can be inconvenient.


Instead of using Cover Flow, use the standard browser view which is a very quick way to find the collections of certain artists youâre looking for.


Get Rid of Duplicate Files
If you have a huge music collection, chances are there are duplicates of the same song. To find and delete them click on File \ Display Duplicates.

You might want to use this judicially though, as in this example we have the same songs in the Led Zeppelin collection, but they are from the original album and a âbest ofâ. So you might not want to delete them from the different albums.

There are also third party software applications out there that will eliminate duplicate music files such as Audio DeDupe.

Make Navigating the Library Easier
To help you navigate through your library more quickly, get rid of columns you donât care about. Right-click the Column Bar and uncheck the ones you donât need.

Alternately you can go to View \ View Optionsâ¦

Then uncheck the columns you donât want showing up then click OK.

Stop Annoying Messages
Another easy tip is when youâre setting up iTunes or running different features for the first time, it might pop up messages the you donât need to see again. When they appear, check Do not show this message again. This will save some time by not having to click through the messages every time.

Make the Text Larger for Easier Reading
If youâre on a netbook or notebook with a smaller screen, you can make the text larger so you can see everything easier. Go to Edit \ Preferencesâ¦

Then under the General tab change Source and List Text to Large.
It makes a big improvement if youâre on a small screen or just have a hard time seeing it with the smaller default font size.

Use Folders to Organize Playlists
Sometimes it can be easier to put a bunch of albums in a folder to get to them. Click on File \ New Playlist Folder. Give it a name and hit enter.

In this example we made a folder called Hard Rock. Then drag your playlist to itâ¦very simple, but can make finding the right genre of music you want to listen to easier.

Answer
You need AM2+ or AM3 to run DDR2-1066, otherwise you will have to run 800. Also you're better off with 4GB RAM.

If you want 1066MHz then get an Athlon II X2 250, which is $2 cheaper than the 6000+. This should also outperform your 6000+ because of the newer K10 architecture, despite a slightly slower clock.

The power supply is a fairly poor quality one, and poor quality PSUs can damage components. Buy a decent unit from Corsair, Antec, or PC Power and Cooling.

thanks for all the help and are these parts compatible and will 600w's power all of this?

Answer
Ok, going on what I see and guesstimates of prices you are paying:

Pre-Built $600

Your build: Flawed specs, here are two items you need.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017&cm_sp=Cat_Power_Supplies-_-Spotlight-_-17-341-017 for $75 (yes, a 600w PS is plenty if you are going single Video card.)
You chose laptop memory. This will work.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 for $42.
I don't see a case. Let's pick a cool but budget friendly model.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153 for $50 I really like this case and the cooling cap

How damaging could a car sound system with a subwoofer be to a young persons hearing?

speaker vibration system image

Ken Doll

Provided that it is'nt overly and rediculously loud, how damaging could your average aftermarket Subwoofer and 6x9 speakers be to a young persons hearing?

What are some tips for avodiing hearing loss/damage?

Answer
Well, I have an Audio Xperts 12" subwoofer running off of an Alpine MRP-500 (putting out 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms) and it will get so loud and cause enough vibrations to set off a car alarm 20 feet away! Can you imagine what that would do to your ears if you listened at high volumes? And I know that you said it wouldn't be overly and ridiculously loud but who isn't going to crank it up to see how hard the bass hits? At the levels that an average aftermarket sound system produces, cranking it up to full( or close to it) volume would damage your ears within a short amount of time( as little as a minute), and even if it's only a little bit at a time that you listen to it loud, it all adds up. I'm not saying to not blast your bass, but just be aware of how damaging it can be. You CAN permanently damage your hearing within a short amount of time and you need to remain aware of that. If your ears hurt, turn it down and keep it down for a while, because you have damaged your ears. Basically just use common sense and remember that you're only going to be into car audio for a while, and you're going to need your hearing for your whole life.

How do I stop the feedback coming from my speakers?

C Rock

I have 1 Numark turntable hooked up to an amp and 2 speakers. When I turn the amp on and the volume up I hear a low feedback noise. I can play the phono fine and hear the records relatively clearly when the volume is low but I would like to be able to turn the volume up. It's only when I have the amp on phono, on Tape/Aux or FM or AM there is no feedback at all.

Answer
Turntable feedback is very common. You need to ISOLATE the turntable from the vibrations caused by your speakers. Your turntable and speakers need to be as far apart as possible. Your turntable and speakers may need isolation pads beneath them too:

Speaker stands may help too - placing your speakers on the floor transmits the vibrations to the turntable:

Best surround sound with mp3 player compatibility?

coby speaker system 100 watt image

superstace

I have a smaller living room but i would like at least two speakers and a subwoofer. I have a samsung focus phone and need the surround sound to have a 3.5m jack so I can use my music off my phone through the surround sound. Please let me know the most reasonably priced one out there!!! I'm on a very tight budget.
I would like a legitimate home theater/surround sound system. I want to be able to hook my tv up to it or hook my mp3 player up to it so listen to music.

Answer
Well this one is good and very cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/Coby-CS-MP77-75-Watt-Performance-Speaker/dp/B000P1D7O0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311870908&sr=8-1
You would also need 2 of these aux cables, which are incredibly cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-AUD-1100-06-6-Feet-Stereo/dp/B000SE6IV8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311871217&sr=1-1

But that one isnt really "surround sound". Do you want surround sound or do you just want speakers?

http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RT151-Home-Theater-System/dp/B002PY7H3M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311871739&sr=1-1

I know these above would work, but they are not very high watts

This one below is pretty high watts but I did a lot of research for you and found that they aren't "truly" surround sound unless you have a receiver. That owuld cost you about another 100 bucks. So i would reccomend the last one. its 300 watts, compared to 80 from the one above it.
