If we want to get real nitpicky, we shall begin.

All quotes are from Isezumi:

Quote:

I bolded the first time that you ever mentioned the use of headphones, notice how its your second to last sentence.

its should have an apostrophe? it's

Quote:

Yeah there is always something better, however THE POINT is that you don't have to take a Mortgage to afford it.

Shouldn't it be? "Yeah, there is always something better..."

Why did you capitalize Mortgage?

Quote:

Apparently you need to look up the meaing of "at my disposal"...unless your roommates let you throw out (dispose of) their possessions at your whim, Which I doubt to the Nth degree, then it is not "at your disposal" by any stretch of the imagination.

What is a meaing? also, why did you capitalize Which?

Quote:

Can't seperate two adjectives with a coma...

Coma? Hmmm, shouldn't it be comma?

Quote:

Doesn't even pluaralize 'First Person Shooter' properly...

What is pluaralize? New word for the dictionary?

Quote:

Sentence Fragment.

Why did you capitalize both words?

Pretty dumb isn't it? Now that I have pointed out all of your errors, it seems really stupid. The same goes for your breakdown of someone elses post.

Get a life.

If you would have noticed his last "quote" it shows that he picked apart dudewth's thread because of him making a comment about isez's grammar. Get a life?????? What about you going through all the crap to make a profile JUST to pick apart grammar errors.:confused: :confused: This isn't an english class its a sound forum. If you don't have something useful to say(especially your first post) THEN DON'T SAY IT;)

Again with the intentional exaggeration to lend unmerited weight to your argument. Yeah there is always something better, however THE POINT is that you don't have to take a Mortgage to afford it. Excellent speaker sets can be had for less then $5000. So unless you are admitting that you live in a run down old 6'x9' shack by the river quality components can be had for FAR less then a house.

Apparently you need to look up the meaing of "at my disposal"...unless your roommates let you throw out (dispose of) their possessions at your whim, Which I doubt to the Nth degree, then it is not "at your disposal" by any stretch of the imagination.

Really that's funny, cause I know for a fact (like science fact) that headphones can't touch the accuracy and positioning of independent sound sources. Secondly, don't attempt to Spelling Nazi me... Mr.

Can't seperate two adjectives with a coma...

Doesn't even pluaralize 'First Person Shooter' properly...

Sentence Fragment.

Oh yeah, and when you're quoting someone, you use quotation marks. Thusly:

:p

I'm really not going to delve into this much more. This sentence: "For gaming speakers are horrible, always" tells me that I was talking about something other than speakers.

I actually do live in a piece of crap house and I'm not going to spend that much on speakers when I'm in college. I'm sorry if you don't see the point to that, but it seems rather simple to me.

The last time I check, having something at one's disposal meant they could get access to it. Go to dictionary.com and look up the definition for disposal. I see "4. Power or authority to dispose of, determine the condition of, control, etc., especially in the phrase at, or in, the disposal of," which means exactly what I meant it to.

Finally, I did try to spelling nazi you and you didn't correct the spelling of any of my words, so you failed at that game.

For enutrality's sake i'll place 'at my disposal' under diff. 'cultural' definiions.... I must admit, I've never heard someone allow another person to use 'something at their disposal' AND also consider within that include the idea of the person throwing away that good.

To get back on topic...
I'm going to be purchasing the Audiogy2 NX and when they support USB2.0 I will also be purchasing the MegaWorks THX 550 and giving a 5.1 system a shot. Cause the klipsch sound system which I previously tried had me prefer my previous 2.1 sound system.

Do you need an external soundcard like the NX? It would seem to me that the NX is made for laptop users.

Yeah, last time I tried the Klipsch system was 1.5yrs ago.
Now that i'm in college i've tried to lighten my carrying load, so now i'm only with a laptop. Hence me waiting for the A2 NX to come out.

Yeah, if you think this is fun.

You should try arguing with me in real life, your missing half the fun. The expressions and desticulations are priceless.
