    VINYL LOVERS: Rega RP6 Exact Cartridge Factory Aligned...or Not?

    I just purchased a Rega RP6 with a factory aligned Exact 2 cartridge ($600 cart, 2000 for the set). Does this look aligned to you? It sure doesn't to me. But maybe they are wiser than us and know the best alignment for this cart? Or maybe the included protractor is off? It just seems strange as...

    Had a Beyer DT990 2005 (600) for a few years...what's next?

    Title says it all. Looking at offerings from Grado (RS1/1i, 325is, PS500) but would also consider Korg, Sennheiser, and especially Hifiman headphones or other planar magnetic phones. Or anything you guys suggest! I generally like a warmer sound, and the 990's response can seem a little too...

    Recommended Power Supply for the Aune?

    Hi all,   I've been loving my Aune and thought I'd upgrade the power supply to better power my Beyerdynamic DT990 600 ohm's.  I've seen different suggestions around, but many recommended an 18V 1.3A Elpac which I believe is this...

    Phono Preamp

    I currently have a TD165 hooked up to the Phono input of a Sony LBT-zx66i speaker system.   Will I get much of a performance increase by using a Recoton SP-2 Phono Preamp?   http://www.amazon.com/Recoton-SP-2-Stereo-Phonograph-Preamplifier/dp/B00005T3FF   Or how about a TCC TC-750...

    Bit Perfect with a Mac

    I will soon have a 2010 Macbook Pro. If I use my Aune DAC through USB with iTunes, is it bit perfect or do I need to do something beyond that?   Thanks!

    Very Quick Question!

    I currently have Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's and love their sound signiature. I am considering upgrading to DT990 2005's, Grado SR225i's, or Sennheiser HD 650's. Recommendations among the three and could anyone compare the three companies'/headphones' sound signatures? Much thanks.

    Hey Head-Fi, I'm pretty new here. Got started a few months ago with a Beyer dt770 pro 80 ohm, iBasso T4 (soon to be upgraded), and an LOD. Will soon have head-direct RE0's. Fell in love with the sound of my dt770's and have been happy with my T4. If I'm in the market to spend $200-$300 on my...

    Help Picking Out an Amp

    Hi Head-Fi, I'm pretty new here. Right now I have a Beyer dt770 pro and will soon have head-direct RE-0 (great deal). For an amp I have an iBasso T4. I love the 770 sound and am fairly satisfied with my T4. I could fairly be called a basshead. If my budget is under $400, would strongly...
