yeah he's got a total of four KG 3.5s (the small versions of the 5.5s). Two in the rear in the living, and two in the rear in his bedroom. He's also got a newer version of the KG 5.5s (KLF-10s) in the front of his bedroom.

Funny thing is I bought almost all of them except for the KLF-10s! My place is just too small for those fuckin things tho, a shame.

But the sad part is, my love for big speakers is seriously making me question my desire to get a hi-rise condo. I can only imagine the amount of noise complaints I'd get...

His place is too. Lol. Need a house on the hills for those.

My klipsch soundbar is only 2.1 channel but they have some fancy 3d option that filsl the room with amazing sound, especially when watching movies. I thought the klipsch 3d sound was a joke but I can hear a huge difference with it on and off

As stated klipsch doesn't play!!!

I also have a Harmon kardon sound stick setup for the garage when I'm working on my toys, that's another little gem. The sound an power that comes out of it is hard to believe

Originally posted by ucforange Assuming a digital connection, sound quality is only derived from a couple of things: 1. speakers/headphones. the most important, by far 2. "name brand" amplifier with enough headroom to play the volume you want to play at in the year 2014, all the major audio manufacturers (when it comes to sound processing, amps, etc) pretty much have it figured out. Yamaha = HK = Denon = Pioneer, etc. It's all the same shit. Tube amps sound different because their analog nature produces a different harmonic distortion that sounds warm. Those expensive Cambridge Audio, Emotiva, etc amps that rich audiophiles buy? It's the product of a fabricated industry that convinces stupid rich people that those components are somehow better just because they have "symmetrical" design and brushed aluminum and retail for $4200. Same sound quality as the $420 Yamaha at Best Buy. everything else is audiophile bullshit. the fact that you think certain cables really make a difference just illustrates how stupid you really are. and there's nothing wrong with being into good audio, shit I am, but spend your money on speakers and headphones. as an example, if I had 3 grand to spend on a setup, I'd get $2500 in speakers and push it with a $500 amp. Guaranteed to get better results than spending $1500 on speakers and $1500 on an amp.

LMAO, so Dixon, Sasha an all of them use Oyaide for nothing? right. Calm down newb, computers and laptops are then noisiest sources ever. The top of the line Oyaide cost 120$ and their not audiophile or hifi for that matter. The reason to get good balanced IC's is that you want no signal loss and plenty of shielding unless you like electrical interference in your shit when you mix. This is more important than sitting in your stupid couch listening on your klipsch speakers. Any other expensive cable is just for Hi fi not dj use. I learned the hard way but thank god i got my money back. Oh and FYI i have ultrasone signature pro's which retail about 1,100.

Here you can see Pan Pot using oyaide.

there is a huge off between professional djs who get paid big bucks for gigs compared to your average bedroom dj

What you mean?

You do realize that the DJs are just pimps for these audio companies right?

They supply the DJs with the gear in exchange for good publicity. You'll see some of these cats rocking Beats headphones (which are inferior when compared to the Denon DJ headphones, anything made by Audio Technica, the upper tier Sonys, beyerdynamics, etc). Why are they using Beats headphones? Because they are getting paid/compensated to do so.

There's no way in hell you could tell the difference in a blind test when compared against the better, thicker cables that Monoprice offers. And they are like $10.

You once again prove you are an idiot. A naive idiot.

Oh so in the traktor vid which has nothing to do with oyaide is pretty much the same concept in what you just typed.

these old school guys who use no traktor and play only records swear by analog and low tech stuff. All the new tech is just to make every bedroom dj think he is a pro.

I respect people like David august who use the tech to make insane live sets that are just the ball, but most are a joke

OK let me rephrase it for a newb late comer into the scene who knows nothing about djing The traktor vid has completly nothing to do with Oyaide and you still see Pan Pot using them with traktor. These are also for time code.
