Hi everyone,

I'm in the market for some good nearfield monitors and I just wanted to get some opinions on some good monitors in the $300 range. Tho I could possibly go more if they're really good. :)

Right now I'm looking at the Yorkville YSM-1i monitors ($240) and I've heard these are very good, but I'm also open to other suggestions if you guys know of any better ones.

WOW! This is very cool peeps...I built a small celeron machine with some parts I had laying around and put a NIC and a 1394a card in there..put XP on it

I just ran into two interesting sounding BIOS settings.

Anybody know anything about Memory Turbo Mode or Delay Transaction?

Hi! we sure get a lot of people from cakewalk.com coming over here and registering. Cool to see this and a big thanks to the members that are passing RO onto that site. Good to have you here.

Cheers!

Looking for advice for anyone who's worked a lot with either or ever directly compared them? I'm about to purchase a set of nearfields as I'm giving my HR824's back to work, wondering whether the HD-1's are worth twice the price of the BM15A . I know the Mackie's are generally well regarded, but having used the HR824's for several years now, I'm just not a big fan of their sound.

Hey,

Should this be disabled for audio discs?

I know it is possible that data could be lost, but is the performance gain worth it?

Also, I know you don't want this on a system disc but if you have another audio disk is it ok to turn this on?

The poll construction was a little a-scew.

I intended for the 11 options to be rearranged in order of preference, but I couldn't get it to format in that way,

Sorry about that.

We can still use the poll to judge the single best, and follow up with additions to this post to rearrange in order of preference.

If you could be bothered.

Vote on DA/AD converters,

Pursuant to my prior post, I intend to post a poll on each successive major component that I am considering
