- If using a laptop get a quality 24-bit external USB adapter. One of the following is recommended:
- Creative Labs Audigy 2 NX 102 dB SNR!
- Creative Labs Audigy 2 NX 102 dB SNR!
- Connect your speakers with SPDIF if that is available, if not, use RCA, if not, use the 3.5 mm TRS connectors.
- If using RCA or TRS connectors, wipe the plug with a thin coating of baby oil or stabilant.
- If your speakers are amplified, use the line out jack, instead of the headphone jack.
- Do not get excessively powerful or oversized speakers. Match the power and size of the speakers to your preferred listening distance and volume. Logitech X-230 speakers have sufficient power for listening within 1-2 m from the speakers and have a very high SNR of >96 dB!
- Get a system with a separate woofer to save cost. Low frequencies are not localizable
- If possible, move the speakers away from any reflective surface, shape the acoustic surface, or acoustically insulate with foam or cork.
- Position the tweeters just above your ears and the woofer just below.
