Stax SR-40. Problem with one side...
My friend got Stax SR-40 electret headphones, same as mine. The problem is that left "speaker" is much more quiet than the right one. We tried it even with my SRD-4 adaptor (his is the same model) - the same problem. I could understand if it wouldn't work at all, but it does work, just very...- audiophile_ltu

Cheap Altec Lansing speakers are nice :) How about headphones?
Hi. I have heard some very nice and reasonably cheap sounding computer speakers from Altec Lansing. Did anyone tried their inexpensive hi-fi headphones? How do they compare to cheap Koss / Senns / other headphones?- audiophile_ltu

Audigy 2/4 and hi-res
It's known that audigy 2 and audigy 4 upsamples 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz by the native chip. But does it downsample to 48 kHz if you use hi-res audio - DVD-Audio with 24/96 or other hi-res audio? Thanks for information.- audiophile_ltu

Vintage Pioneer vs Cheap AKG
Hello. I'm new in headphone stuff, and all my experience in this is Pioneer 305SE vintage (~1978-1980 year) headphones which I got not a long time ago. These are the same as Pioneer 405 but without volume and tone control. I'm not very happy with these cans - they sound a bit compressed...- audiophile_ltu

SACD and DVD-Audio on PC?
Hello. I was reading one article about soundcards, and I found one surprising thing for myself: "It's impossible to play SACD as a PC DVD-ROM is not able to read such discs. As for DVD-Audio, it's sufficient to read data and send them to the card's drivers supporting playback of the 24/96 or...- audiophile_ltu
