The classified rules say I need to contact a moderator before listing Grado HP-2 headphones, but I don't know how to actually contact one. Is there a list somewhere?

I've been buying stuff from John Tucker of eXemplar Audio for over a decade now, ever since ServingInEcuador sold his Electrocompanient EMC1UP in favor of John's heavily modified Denon 2900. I followed suit and have been buying John's gear ever since. I now have a full eXemplar system...

Sadly, motherboards don't seem to have PCI slots anymore. I basically only need the SPDIF out (coaxial, not optical), and I'm pretty sure I want native AISO support got any ideas?  

Hey everybody. I'm still loving my rig that I have thanks to this community. Unfortunately my cable has developed a short where it meets the right can.  Anybody know who can fix this? Also, my headband is looser than a... well, I'm not going to finish that sentence.  Anybody got any...

If I want to upsample my flacs from 16/44.1 to 24/192 for my dac, would an M-Audio 192 do a better job than the realtek on my motherboard? -a

If I'm planning on using WASAPI exclusive mode, and feed an outboard DAC (Exemplar XD-1) a 24bit/192kHz stereo LPCM bitstream, would there be any noticeable sound quality difference between using the Realtek ALC889 (on my motherboard) vs. an M-Audio Audiophile 192? I'm on Windows 7 -a

Does anybody know where he is? His voicemail's full and he hasn't answered any of my emails. He's got my Melos Maestrobator. =( please help. -f

what soundcards are best? obviously I'm limited to usb or pcmcia soundcards. (please don't just tell me to do a search.. i tried that) if it helps, my notebook is an asus z33a =) thanks in advance -f

i'm back and i have my carlo modded melos wasting space as an expensive paperweight. has anybody seen or heard from him in the last 7 months? i would love if my $2500 investment worked again. thanks f

he spent a while trying to figure out what carlo had done but ultimately failed in fixing it. He found something (a resistor i think) that burnt out which he said was made by TI and discontinued. He had a few lying around so he replaced it and it worked for a while before burning out again...

mine arrived today, with the siltech wire, and a pair of amperex tubes from servinginecuador. it rocks. more later. f

check these out! http://www.audiofederation.com/dealership/acapella/ the top ones (the spharon excalibur) are over a quarter million dollars for the pair! what source and amp would they have? who's got them and when can i come over f

to put it simply, can this be done? and, no, don't refer to the cary SEI. my question is, is there some adapter that can be made so that one can "plug" headphones into a 3-5wpc SET amp at the appropriate winding? (ie: build a 40ohm tap for my hp-1000s or a 32ohm tap for new grados or a...

my amp arrived today (absurdly late) and again it was DOA. i haven't been able to reach carlo for over a week. does anybody live near him? help fliz

i've never bothered making a recommendation before, but when i put this CD in yesterday to listen to on my 555es w/ my sr007s, it sounded like a hardware upgrade! this CD is produced so damn well it's amazing. i couldn't make it through the whole thing. I sat listening in amazement for...

so i sent my maestrobator back to carlo for some repairs in july... apparently it was damaged in shipping to me when i first recieved it and it took a while for the problem to show itself (according to carlo) he got it back to me a month ago and but it was DOA.... again damaged in shipping. I...

i don't have anything to do with this, but it's a good deal. i'd buy it if i hadn't already bought one. fliz

so my sre-750 showed up today. i turned off my kgss, connected my extension cord and when i turned the kgss back on, the fuse blew. do you think it was just dumb luck? this is the first time ive ever turned my kgss off since i got my sr-007. could the extra...

ive been having bad luck lately, first the omega IIs now this. It started with simply the left channel sounding messed up (severely distorted and attenuated) I thought it might be the player (a crappy rotel rcd975), so i unhooked the maestrobator, set it on the floor and hooked it back up...

I received a pair of omega IIs and a kgss from davidmiya today. I hooked them up and was immediately disappointed. It seemed that the right channel wasn't working. i unplugged my left interconnect and heard SOME sound out of the right, but it was severely attenuated. I didn't know which...

I just took a leap of blind faith and sold my emc1. While i wait for john tucker at exemplar audio to do the mods on my new denon, i'll need a source for the meantime. my only requirements: 1) Easy to resell QUICKLY at the price i got it at 2) Less than $1k The first is more...

heh... i'm going to finally have speakers that might sound good compared to my headphones.... one-way, full-range drivers (so no crossovers and phase errors) ...just like headphones. they'll be powered by my maestrobator here's a pic: http://www.cornu.de/gspir/DSCF0005.JPG...

so it's suddenly occured to me that i'm incredibly stupid and am running a high risk of damaging my system since it's plugged directly into the wall. i've got a b-p-t bp-jr (that i might sell to dave), but that doesn't have any surge protection. i'm looking for something that will make...

Holy $!&%@#*% this thing rocks!!!! the only reason i'm online instead of listening (with a huge smile and often fits of laughter) is because a friend of mine is listening to a song right now (we're taking turns) f

RAAA!!!! ok.. so i can hardly contain myself, and i'm thinking ahead by writing this before it arrives (because i'll probably be on the computer alot less), but... MY MAESTROBATOR IS COMING IN THE MAIL!!!! i'm so excited.... i already have about 6 different types of tubes to try out in...
