Daily Purchase Advice Thread (2016-02-07)

Hi, first off I'd like to preface this by saying I've tinkered with Car audio in the early 2000s but I haven't been following the scene for 10+ years now.

I'm looking for a way to get clean audio for my PC without interference whether its while playing games, watching movies or listening to music.

In your opinion, what songs would you call 'perfect'. r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread Convince me my ears weren't deceiving me (amp and 3rd party power cords) r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread Why so little evaluation of downloaded FLAC vs actual CDs vs Stream for audio quality? r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread GIK polyfusers took 3 months to arrive but wow, worth the wait. Room treatment is so easy to overlook, but the rewards if/when you get around to it are really something. r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread Update to CXA81 / L100s sounding flat and boring. Got a rug. Hung some shit on the walls. Bought material for bad traps I have yet to build. Still no bass unless I really crank the amp. It’s the amp.
