read the first Q/A   http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=faqs&content_id=3&pagestring=cable+use   this literally made me lol.  next step: hook up hospital equipment with cardas to heal patients??  the mere fact that whoever owns cardas has the nerves to post this on his "frequently...

Anyone have any suggestions on what companies I should check out for speakers/amps?  I've been reading this forum for the past year and only know about headphones; I have no idea what the "good" speaker brands are.   Here are the companies listed under "audio"...

great idea or greatest idea ever? :D   http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/info.do?siteID=ON1225267&ap=2&tid=onaf937&cid=56526   lmao these earbuds are washing machine proof.

Anyone know of any cheap power conditioners?  Would a backup battery help at all?  My apt has bad wiring and everytime someone uses the printer or something the lights flicker and my amp drops out.

Im looking for a program to convert all my flac files to mp3 and copy the mp3s into a new directory with the same folder structure as my flac collection.   Thanks!

I want a pair of headphones that i can use unamped.  Anything out there better than the m50's?

I'm building a 3 channel B22 with a s22 in a separate chassis and already bought the kits from glass jar audio.  I'm still looking around for the other parts (all the jacks, switch, etc).  Can I get some recommendations?  Here are the parts i'm currently considering. x2 parmetal 20 series...

I just got the suburbs and the mastering sounds terrible to me. anyone else listen to this album yet?

Now that the zune has a LOD ive decided to try out portable amps.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Im currently looking into building my own mini^3 which would cost ~$100 or just buying ibasso T3 or D4 if it's really worth it.  anyone have any experience with both the mini^3 and D4?   Thanks

anyone having memory leak problem on win7 with wasapi/foobar?  I recently started getting ram problems and trying to diagnose the problem thanks.

Anyone have any impressions of this setup?  Is there a noticable improvement?   Thanks!

Is there any reason for me to use the preamp feature of my LD MK III for my m-audio av40 speakers?  Im not exactly too sure what the purpose of a preamp is.  Based on the wikipedia description (which isn't too helpful), I don't need it since the gamma-2 provides a line out?

I just finished my first DIY project (gamma-2) and wanted to try recabling before building a beta22.  I haven't really had any experience soldering cables but have looked up youtube videos and it doesn't seem too difficult.  Are there any tutorials specifically for making an unbalanced HD650...

Anyone know of any headphone stores in the bay area similar to http://www.32ohmaudio.com/ where I could try out various headphones before buying?

Need some advice for next upgrade, and it seems like my amp is probably the weakest part of the chain.  I see a lot of people recommending the woo audio 6 for HD650's and probably cant afford the SE edition anytime soon.  Can probably afford the regular edition + sophia princess.  However, it...

Im not exactly sure what the purpose of a transport is.  From what ive read it seems like it takes a digital signal and reduces the jitter and outputs out a cleaner digital signal?  My main system is in my sig and was wondering whether something like the musiland montor 02 or m2tech hiface would...

I just finished building gamma1 and 2 and the gamma1 by itself works fine, balanced volume. When I use the gamma2 the left channel is louder than right channel (even with mono music). Ive tried both the stereo and red/white output and the left is a lot louder. Ive tried searching through the...

My tube amp is making the noise from the actual unit and not headphones when I turn it off.  After ~5 sec its completely quiet/off. Is this normal?   Thanks

Im guessing using a usb hdd for playing flac files is bad?  I only have 320gb internal and a 2tb external (~400gb of music on the external).  Im using digital out into my dac.   Thanks

I've done a bit of researching on this site and based on my budget I'm leaning towards getting a Zero DAC 118.00+50 shipping Little Dot mkIII 195+50 shipping Paying $100 for shipping sucks. Amazon spoiled me too much with free shipping. Any last suggestions before I spend $400 :/? As a...

This is probably a stupid question but I wanted to know if there was a big difference between desktop amps and portable ones in the $300 price range. im new to the forums and have been reading amp reviews and it seems like the iBasso D10 is what i'm looking for. Getting a separate desktop dac...

Sorry but I'm new to the site and it's overwhelming how many choices there are. Ive look over the buyers list but would like a little more input. I currently have HD555's. My budget is around $600-800 total for headphones/dac/amp and i am currently leaning towards HD650. I have no idea what kind...
