[DECtalk] WHAT SPEAKERS DOES EVERYONE USE

[Dectalk at aol.com]

Personally I think we're asking the wrong  question.  I think the sound ca
rd is more important than the  speakers.  Years ago I had a cheap sound card 
that was actually lying to  me.  On my end, my audio was going out both 
speakers in high quality.   But on the internet for the public it was a static 
mono sound.  So after I  bought a very high quality sound card, I heard how 
bad my stuff actually  was.
 
I still don't get the true sound mix until I play  stuff on my stereo, but 
I have learned to make my vocals lower than what I  intend so it comes out 
right.

Hi  again,

Compounding this problem is the thing of computer speakers. I  once had an 
IBM computer I bought from Radio Shack. It was a totally  prefab system, 
rather than custom built. It came with a pair of computer  speakers. 
Someone 
told me they said "IBM" on them. You can bet, though,  that somebody else 
actually made the speakers. That's probably the problem  you're going to 
run 
into again and again with this research, people who  are using 
computer-manufacturer-branded speakers or generic no-name  speakers. Also, 
what of the people who have laptops and use the computer's  internal 
speakers? I know some companies brag about the brand of the audio  system 
in 
their laptops, but probably the cheaper companies might use  generic 
no-name 
products.

As far as headphones go, my favorites in  the way of semi-professional 
headphones are made by Sony. I also have a  pair of Audiotechnica 
headphones 
in-house.

Jayson,
Thank you - your feedback is exceedingly useful.  This is the kind of
information that I need. It may be that so many  different speakers and
headphones are used that I will never be able to  test enough, but it's
good to know there's so much variety out  there.
