Hi,   I am wonderding which PSU (voltage) to use for my amp: I hooked up my old Headsave Classic amp to a laptop PSU which was outputting 24.1 V (measured it) and it sounded broken. It hasn't been used for about 4 years. The original was a 24V 0.4A Elpac PSU but that one is broken. I used...

Hi,   I hooked up my old Headsave Classic amp to a laptop PSU which was outputting 24.1 V (measured it) and it sounded broken. It hasn't been used for about 4 years. The original PSU was 24V 0.4A if I am right though but that one broke after a while. I used a different 19.5V 4.62A laptop PSU...

I would like to buy a DAC to use with my PC and my HD-580's. I only need USB and 300$ is my limit. I will be using this DAC exclusively with my computer and not for music in particular. I listen to all kinds of stuff on my computer, mostly movies/videos and some electronic music. I guess I'm...

I had a pair of HD-555's which I really enjoyed unamped. I have a small Headsave Classic amp though. (discontinued and made by "Norm" around 5 years ago) The HD-555's weren't durable though and the head band broke at the ear piece on both sides. I use them alot almost every day to watch...

After I broke my Shure e2c's I need new canalphones / IEM's. I will be mainly using them walking, on the train, and on my bike. In other words, on the move (actively) I need to keep the price around €150 because of my budget. I mostly listen to house / electronic music although I enjoy...

Simple as that. Post a list of your favorite reference recordings. In other words, which songs do you use to evaluate and test your gear and setup? Please just post a list of songs and add the album. Comment in which aspect a song excels if you like. No dicussion in this thread please...

Recently I ran in to the complete guide to digital imaging: http://www.123di.com/default.htm This is absolutly the best stuff I've read on the subject. It features everything I could even imagine I wanted to know about digital photography. On top of that, it's explained in different...

Just wondering... Does anybody have pictures? Does anyone actually have them? I guess they're exactly the same as the normal version, right?

I need to get some isolating phones for my Iriver H320 before friday because I will be leaving on a school vacation to Italy. My current setup is in my sig. Now would the ec2's be a good match for my DAP? hey seem to be the only ones falling into my budget beside the Etymotic ER-6i's. What do...

I convinced my dad to take me on a little trip to Hannover for Cebit 2005 next weekend. I would like to take some pictures of the new Iriver and Iaudio players and some other stuff too (as far as that's allowed). Does anybody have some advice? Our new "family" camera is a Konica Minolta...

I read many posts lately about people on a budget having to buy things that aren't exactly what they wan't or need. I am actually looking for a budget mp3 player solution myself but it isn't easy. I started with the idea of buying a flash based mp3 player with 512-1GB of storage. I discovered...

Just wondering is this worth the extra money? http://www.mp3spelers.nl/?produkt&hcat=2&id=172 Or would I rather get this one for only €1.95 http://www.mp3spelers.nl/?produkt&hcat=2&id=138 It seems the second one would put more stress on the jack... opinions please?

I wanted to share this with you guys. Perhaps it should be in the computer as source forum. These are Classpro's classical music naming conventions. Some things apply to normal music tagging too, of course. Tell me what you think. Btw I'll try get this reformatted asap. (Originally from...

I am looking for a new NiMh battery recharger and some batteries. I live in Belgium (Europe) so brands and availability matters What would you recommend? Is GP powerbank ok? Any reading stuff? Do rechargers and recharging time really make a big difference? Thanks alot, Guust-Fi

I am looking for a new mini-HD player. I am leaning towards the Zen Micro at the moment but I would still like to know if there is anything better out there at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Should I wait for new player to come out soon? I still have some questions. Does the Zen...

Remove this thread please

I finally decided to buy an mp3 player and I thought I could use some help from you guys. I was thinking about a flash based mp3-player with 512mb or more memory because I will be using it on my bike and hd-players are still a little bit too expensive imo. You could always try to convince me to...

Another DIY project on it's way. I've decided to make a little cd-player. Nothing special, I've read about people making a cd-player from scratch with dac etc. etc. but that isn't my intention. I have some pictures of the drive I will be using here This is one of them: It's a dvd-rw nec...

I recently read about binaural sound and I wanted to create a binaural mic myself. I would use it for gaming and probably for some field recording but that isn't very important. I use skype to talk to friends during games but the problem is it's hard to understand what people are saying when...

Mr. Radar mentioned it was possible to get the internal pc speaker to work as output using a certain driver. I did a brief search but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I would like to output error sounds and other insignificant windows sounds to my internal pc speaker to be able to...

Hi, I just got an Ipod and I am looking for better earphones. They should be comfortable without falling out easily. The MX-500's seem to be a good choice but I just wanted to know if they are better than apple's native in-ear phones. My budget is about 50$ so perhaps there are some better...

Here it is: The revised Chaintech AV-710 setup guide When I kept seeing a dozen Chaintech posts a day, I thought it was time to do my part. Head-fi member "Mr. Radar" already wrote a nice graphical Chaintech setup guide but it seems like some issues weren't clear enough so I decided to write...

Most of the time I suffer from listening fatigue easily To me the Dolby headphone feature in power dvd is a must have for watching movies and I was wondering if I could use it together with foobar somehow. As a test I loaded some music files directly into power dvd and with Dolby headphone on...

Just FYI: I got bored with my previous nick (Conraed) and it will be replaced with "Guust-Fi" soon. I'll explain the meaning of it in the username topic when it is changed. I will also leave my avatar the same for some while so people get used to it without thinking I am someone else. EDIT...
