The thread; http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/510768/mdr-z1000-new-sony-flagship-headphones For some reason, I can't post there (since yesterday). On the top right side, it also says "system error". I've tried posting using my desktop, netbook, and phone and none of them work. Haven't had...

I'm looking to get a pair of headphones and it looks like my best option right now is to order from Japan. However, the stores that have the best rates (that I've found) do not ship to North America. If you've used mail forwarding services from Japan before, I'd appreciate if you could tell me...

Don't know how many DJ Max fans we have around here, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the main guys behind the latest DJ Max game wearing Shure SRH-750DJs in a video.     Just felt like sharing, and maybe see if there are any other DJ Max players on Head-Fi.

I know there are some skilled woodworkers around head-fi, so I'm hoping to find somebody who can help me with this.       I suspect it would be pretty easy for someone who knows what they're doing. I was considering making cups for my Grados myself, but with the tools I have I...

Does anyone know of a good webcam that will follow movements? For instance, if I'm walking around in my room, the webcam would follow me from one end to the other.   It doesn't need to be anything special, just solidly built and reliable. I'm currently using Dorgem with a stationary cam to...

First, I'm using the S/PDIF coax jack on my motherboard, a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3. I am also using a Cooler Master GX750 power supply. I can't think of anything else that may cause the noise.   Now, I get noise from my amp when my DAC is connected to that jack. Even when the DAC isn't on, I get...

First off, http://etf2l.org/highlander/   This is a tournament for TF2 where you form a team of 9 (with one required backup, I think, but up to 14 total on a team) and each player is a different class. Meaning there can't be two scouts, medics, etc. at the same time.   Just looking to...

Hey all. Recently three capacitors blew out on my video card at home. It doesn't look like there's any other damage, so I was thinking I would try just replacing the busted caps. If it doesn't work, I'm only out a few bucks. I'd rather try to repair the card instead of buying a new one since my...

I'm planning to sell my iPod touch and pick up one of these. Reason I'm not considering the X series is that it's touchscreen and I need something with tactile buttons now. My options are also limited to Sony and Apple, because my car audio headunit will work for sure with these, I'm not sure...

I'm planning to go balanced with my CKKIII. Thing is, not all my parts are the same. The resistors match, but some of my capacitors are Matsu****a (Panasonic) and the others are Nichicon. They all measure very close to the same, but will it make a difference in sound if I populate the two boards...

I found this on another forum and saw it wasn't posted here so I figured I would share. I only found one that related to hearing test, but this was fun IMO. http://team.forsvarsmakten.se/english/#

I noticed that many amps require you to connect things to the chassis, such as power ground or certain part(s) of the amp board. I'm not extremely literate regarding electricity and amp design, but I can understand why you might do this with a metal chassis. However, what would you do if the...

I'm hoping to build a CKKIII sometime soon, just have a quick question. Is it possible/ok to have two headphone outs? I'm thinking I would just split the signal wire bundle going to the headphone out into two and send it to the headphone outs, but I don't know if that would negatively affect...

The Girl Who Conned The Ivy League : Rolling Stone I don't think this has been posted, so here it is. It's a interesting story about a girl who took identities, but didn't simply use them to max out credit cards and such. Kind of a long read. Almost seems like a movie.

Mars Science Laboratory: Send Your Name to Mars Ok, so it's not actually you going to Mars, only your name. It's also not really anything significant, but I found this on another forum and just thought it was kind of cool and wanted to share.

Wu Tang Vs The Beatles A guy named Tom Caruana took Wu-Tang flows and put them over beats made with Beatles samples. Kind of interesting, free, and offered in lossless formats. Worth checking out IMO.

I have a question, listed in the title. What is a standard CKKIII (as in made from pretty standard parts, nothing special, extra expensive or otherwise exotic) comparable to as far as other full size amps? If it costs about $200-$250 to build, is it still worth it to build it (other than for...

Hey all, I'm looking to build myself a CKKIII. I've been looking at parts that I need and trying to find them. I've got a cart on Mouser, it has most of the parts I need, I think. Hoping someone has some spare time and wouldn't mind looking through what I've got to make sure it's what I...

Been looking around for amps that can be self built and are sold in kits. I'm compiling a list, so please post if you know of any that aren't mentioned. Thanks! Solid State Jaycar Electronics Stereo Headphone Distribution Amplifier // £10.25 AMB Labs Mini³ // $88.92 AMB Labs Beta 22...

I wasn't too sure where to post this, so I figured I would post it here instead of once in the fullsize headphones, one in the portables, etc. I don't know about you all, but most of the people I've talked sound and music with (outside of here) don't pay much attention to the mids in music...

YouTube - Super Mario World Montage - Queen Don't Stop Me Now A friend posted that on Facebook. I thought it was pretty cool so I figured I would share.

I'm looking to do something like this, but my DAC only has RCA outputs. If I made an amp using two boards like sunneebear did as well as a 4pin XLR output, but used RCA input, would it be no better than if I just made a single-ended amp? And also, if I go down that route, I would want make an...

Hey all, I'm looking to build an inline volume controller. More specifically, I want to make an adapter thing that allows me to control each channel separately. Something like this; http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/40/exampleq.png I would split the incoming cable into left and right...

Steam is having a half-off sale for Audiosurf this weekend. For those that don't know, Audiosurf is a game that takes a music file and turns it into a rail track that you follow and pick up blocks to make combo things. I don't know how to explain it that well, but the visuals remind me of...
