Well I have not been able to make the amp better. It was sooooo fine and now it's crap...

Maybe I will figure it out.

Sure seems weird that a slight jar could mess it up.

SO I've been running off the card direct...just not as full sounding...

Your best bet would be to get a good set of headphones and a separate mic:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...heiser%2bhd555

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836501002

A bit over $100, but worth it.

I haven't had the chance to hear a set of HD555s, but according to all the advice I got here and elsewhere the A700s are worth the extra $20 or so.

The HD555 and AD700 are very similar in sound. The HD555 have a stronger bass but the AD700 is a smoother bass. The AD700 are also more comfortable as there is more padding and it's softer.

I guess I don't have to tell you that the flip side of this random tragedy is that now you get to purchase something even better!



My suggestion?

BREAK OUT THE CARD, YO!

...

Love his stuff...
