I've always preferred a hard wired setup with my computer and have never used a hardware streamer, but I don't think I have much of a choice now. In my living room setup, I've always used a long optical cable with my Chord Hugo 2 with my older macbook pro. Unfortunately I had to upgrade to a...

Pictured: HeadAmp Blue Hawaii & GSX Mini, Stax SR-009, Stax SR-007 MK1 (not tested here, just blew a driver recently :triportsad: ), Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC, (2) Sennheiser HE60 "Baby Orpheus" & Verite Closed Blue Ash. Not the prettiest pic and sorry I don't have more, I'm moving to NY (whenever...

Very, very happy with the Electrostatic rig, but I may have stumbled into a good opportunity to grab a pair of Audio Technica ATH-L3000s which I probably won't pass up. So with that, I'm looking at the GSX Mini and Benchmark HPA4. I'm solely only considering the Mini vs. the MK2 due to size...

My ipod was recently stolen (thank God I took my UE11pro's out that day), and I travel frequently for work. I would like to replace it before my trip to NY tomorrow.   For now I have been using my Ipod shuffle as a replacement, which sounds God awful compared to my old ipod classic. The...

I purchased the UE-11 Pro about 3 years ago and have loved every minute of them. They are the single best head-fi purchase I have ever made. At first, I contemplated whether I should use such an expensive product in the gym, but they provide so much satisfaction that I chose to go ahead with it...

I have looked at plenty of offerings of high efficiency speakers and I am now deciding between the Klipsch Cornwall(really leaning towards these if I can find a pair in good condition locally) and the Omega Super Alnico 8 XRS. I'll be driving them with the Woo Audio WA5. I can't find much...

Today I picked up an album from John Coltrane(best of) and Miles Davis(kind of blue). Before I have never really tried to get into jazz/blues more than simply listening to thirty second samples on the internet. I just though it wasn't my thing. I mostly listen to R&B, Soul and Alternative Rock...

I am moving and no longer have a free gym to go to. I will not drive to a local gym. I just rather spend 20 min total than an hour. I don't like spending time at the gym, I simply do it because it is good for me, and my family has a history of health issues. I'm looking for a standard...

I want to know what you regret selling or getting rid of and why! I am putting this in the headphone forum because thats what this hobby is all about, and I'm most interested in what cans you've sold that you regret doing so. But, feel free to add amps and sources as well! For me, I...

I just purchased the Audio-Technica L3000. I am trying to figure out what the best way to amp them is. I don't want to spend more than $1500 for an amp(but will in certain cases). I realize that that isn't quite high end, but I thought this would be the best place for this question because more...

My budget would be $1000 including everything I need to get up and running. I would be using this with a Cary SLI-80 and Anthony Gallo Reference 3.1's. What would you buy or start out with for this price range? My main concern right now is that I will not be able to find all of the music...

I've decided that this will be the floorstanding speakers I will get. Originally, I was set on something cheaper, but I want to buy a pair of speakers and be done with it for at least the next 5 years. I learned that from owning nice bookshelves previously. Speakers are much harder to trade and...

Anyone else have dogs? Are they ruining your head-fi hobby? Honestly, I love mine. I have a 2yr old beagle and a 4 month old Boxer/American Bulldog Mix. But.......I feel like I can't really listen to headphones. It just takes my eye off of them which is a problem. They are very high energy...

After deciding that I wanted to have a great dynamic setup and being very impressed with the Zana Duex, I think I have to say goodbye to the dynamic world. I have had the HE60 for about three days, and I have to say that it is the best headphone I have ever heard(this includes the HP1000...

I have some spare cash and instead of buying a pair of headphones I'm gonna spend it all on music. I think I'm looking for music where the vocals shine. I'd also be into whatever is similar to what I'm listening to atm. Right now, I'm into: Bjork Ben Folds Coldplay Dido Sade I...

I am in the market for a new DAC. I was set on the Stello DA100 because it matched my price range, but now I am not too worried about price. I want something that I will probably not need to upgrade for a year or two. However, if the Stello is relatively close in performance, I want to go with...

Quick question, thought I'd ask you guys before calling paypal... Would there be a reason I can only pay with eChecks(along with paying from a balance) via paypal? I can't use instant transfers from my bank account. This has become a pain because if I want to buy something, I have to wait...

Last week I went to get an eye exam and basically my eyes are getting worse and worse.( I am almost 100% positive it is because of my computer use, but doc says im just "growing" lol) Anyways, as they brought the contacts out, I already knew I was going to have problems as I hate anything...

I'm looking to decorate my computer room. I just moved into a new apartment after graduating college. I want to hang my headphones on the wall in a decorative manner. I guess I'm looking for safe and attractive ways to do it. I call the room the "green" room. I painted it green and it will...

My dog sneaked the power cord to my altec lansing computer speaker set and bit it in half. The cord is connected to the subwoofer and is not removable, so I cannot simply replace it. And shipping it somewhere is not an option due to it's weight. I'm pretty sure it can be repaired, but what...

I received a Woo 6 from the FS forums and I really, really love the sound of it. It is very versatile and feels like a great match for every can I've used. I am only encountering one problem and it's with the HD650's. It just seems like there isn't enough juice for them. I have to listen at 90%...

I received the CD3000 as of Saturday afternoon. I must say that I am truly impressed. From reading up on them, I expected them to sound artificial and a bit thin albeit with a very impressive soundstage. Well, this was very far from the truth...they are a very, very solid pair of headphones...

First, I have to mention that I have just shipped these phones off and no longer have them anymore. I started not to post anything on them, but I think it is necessary because there is a lot of hype surrounding them. So I am typing this from memory(2 days) but I have a really good grip on them...

I have read a good amount of information about these, but there seems to be a lack of a general consensus on what they actually sound like besides being "good". I'm thinking of letting go of my RS-1 to get the D5000. I like the RS-1, but I not too much into heavy rock or metal so I think I want...

I have a pair of RS-1's coming this weekend and spring break all next week, therefore I am prepared to buy around 20 cd's or so.(all my friend's ideal spring break is on some beach..mine is music. lol) So I need some recommendations. I am really wanting to get more into electronic and rock...
