    When you received the following items for Christmas:   Yuin PK2s 6x DMD acoustic panels & bass traps Western Electric speaker wire (The wire you received has asbestos in it but it's worth it for the SQ.) And nothing else.   Happy Holidays!

    Need help! Audio-gd NFB-2 vs NFB-3 vs DAC-19

    For anyone else considering these DACs... I own a DAC 19 and have heard a friend's NFB-2.  The DAC 19 is a little more forward sounding without being harsh.  The NFB-3 is more 'tubey'.  Perhaps this is the difference between the Burr Brown and Woflston chips?  I suppose your best bet depends on...

    Please Help! Power switch broken on amplifier.

    Hello fellow head-fiers.  I was hoping someone knew somewhere that I could find a replacement switch for my NAD 3220 PE amplifier.  The switch was broken off for a while, and all I had to do to turn the amp on was use a small pencil.  Now it is broken to the point where if I turn it on, the...

    Amp + DAC for less than ~$300USD - help brainstorm based on my requirements :D

    Hello, I'm not sure about the amps you mentioned, but I can vouch for my LD MK III.  It's a superb value and would leave you with over $100 left to budget on a DAC.  Mine is currently for sale if you are interested.  Feel free to send me a PM :)

    I really like the following albums, in no particular order.  They all have excellent production.  The first one I listed, Common Market, is areally fresh, thought provoking group that not many people know about.  The others are more widely appreciated and are some of my favorite hip hop albums...

    A K702 impressions thread

    I received a pair of AKG 702's two days ago I bought from ebay for $250.  Even after listening for only 10 hours, I am extremely satisfied.  The first thing I noticed was an incredible attention to detail.  I was hearing things that I have never heard in songs, even through my $3k stereo setup. ...

    Your 'perfect' mobile rig ?

    I would have to go with a laptop (FLAC) -> Headroom Total Bithead -> AKG K 701s.  Not too costly considering you can grab a HR for $150 and pair of 701s on ebay for $250 now :D
