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!- emak212

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...- emak212

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...- emak212

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 :)- emak212

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. ...- emak212

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- emak212
