is spending 200$ (minimum) on a decent set of Magnetically shielded speakers + an amp worth it? I mean I personally think the built-in speakers sound fine but I know the PS1 has especially high quality sound. Is it worth it anons?
Yes anon you HAVE to spend big bucks on obsolete garbage or you're not a Real Retro Gamer.
I don't use magnetically shielded speakers, I have zero problems. Just don't place them right next to the TV.
>>12270913This but ironically
>>12270909Just use computer speakers that are magnetically shielded.
If your TV's sound sucks and you want the Real Retro Experience, find a boom box with line-in.
>>12270909If you're gonna play retro games on your CRT every day, then why not? Otherwise, the TV speaker(s) usually get the job done.>>12270964I have those speakers for my computer.They're pretty good.
I have speakers attached to every display in my house except the CRTs. Entirely unnecessary for retro vidya.
>>12270949/thread
I just make a speaker stack with thrifted shelf speakers, good sound fidelity for the price.
That said, I recently got these and it'll be nuts when it's all set up

>>12273260this sounds like ass compared to single speakers. You get a weird choir effect doing this.
>>12273856>choir effect1: it's called chorus2: you're thinking of phasing3: neither of those are happening with my setup
>>12270909That depends on what you're wanting out of the setup. There are a lot of solutions at all sorts of price brackets. However, magnetic shielding has been getting less common these days.These were the first results on Amazon that mentioned CRT screens, so I saved up a couple years worth of Microsoft Points and I finally got them on a holiday sale knocking the price down to under $100USD. They are self-powered, so they don't require an amp. Unlike the ones I do that require an amp being comically large by comparison to the CRT, these are a fine size. However, I still have to save up for the matching subwoofer, which may take a couple more years of Microsoft Rewards grinding and more Doordash/Uber Eats work, but I get a lot of joy not only having the games look as good as I remember but sounding even better.
>>12270909>(minimum)it’s just old videogames, man. if you put good headphones on you’d realize how cheese the sound card is. why presume you’ll need $200 for that, but why *do* you need $200 worth of speaker audio for a kid’s game. also why would you spend that protecting speaker when you could get good headphones that would be compatible with all systems regardless of the tv set. a little adapter will let you connect your audio cables to headphones
>>12275351>headphonesAdult board. We use speakers.
