Hi all, I shipped an amplifier to a buyer in California last week from Minnesota. It was packaged in the factory double box surrounded by foam and very well secured. It arrived yesterday so I shot the guy a quick email asking if it arrived in sufficient condition and if everything seemed to...

I've done a bit of searching but haven't been able to find much. Lately I've started to get into the John Mayer/Jack Johnson scene. However, I've pretty much burnt out all of their songs/albums and now desire more music with similar characteristics (both from a vocal and instrumental...

Klipsch Heresy speakers with stands Seems like a good deal. I think I'll check them over in person before making any decisions.

So last week my dad bought a 2003 Peterbilt Western Hauler. This week we're taking it for its first trip up into the depths of Canada. As I type this I am in Esteban, SK, CA which is about 7 hours from my house in Duluth, MN, USA. We're going all the way over to Banff in the rockies and then...

I currently have the 325i and LD I+ combo that I'm fairly happy with. However after hearing the two headphones above at the Chicago meet I'm in love and will be getting them soon. I also wish to upgrade my amplifier. So what's the best tube amp for these 2 very different phones under $450...

As my taste in music changes so must my taste in headphones. I started out with the K701 when I was into classical and was wholly impressed. I started to get more into rock (Dave Matthews Band type stuff) and moved to the 325i. These are very good, but I miss the soundstage of the K701. I love...

So I have M-Audio AV40's and they're good, but I just want something better. I'm considering the following: Harmon Kardon 3490 JBL L830CH I can get the combo new for $550, so I think that's a pretty good value. If you don't recommend the JBLs, any other recommendations at the $260...

So I'm looking at buying some Grados and Senns and I would like to demo them before I make the plunge. Out of all of the dealers in the Twin Cities, which one would be the "best" one to go to? Ideally I'd like to try all sorts of stuff.

I've already got a Little Dot I+ but I have a feeling this isn't the best amp for these phones. I will be purchasing the phones shortly and would like some input on the amp of choice...

So a little bit of back story... About 3 months ago I joined here and ended up buying a Fubar II DAC, Little Dot I+, and AKG K701s. Since this was my first foray into audio, I decided to trade my K701 for some Grado 325is just to see what they sounded like. I got them today and I'm...

So my headphone rig is finally coming together and after years of using Creative-like headphones I finally sprung for some decent phones, an amp, and a DAC. So far the last piece of the puzzle is missing but right now, listening through my LD I+, John Mayer live in Los Angeles ripped in FLAC...

So right now my foray into Hi-Fi is going pretty well. I've got AKG K701s with a LD I+ hybrid on the way (tube rolling is in my future). However, I'm using my aluminum MacBook as a source and I have a feeling it's not going to cut it. I'm looking for a DAC. I do have optical out so that's...

So I've decided on the Grado SR125's for use with classical music on my MacBook (new 2.4GHz aluminum). I've read the stickys and I know that these are not the most amp dependent headphones on the planet, but that obviously one is recommended. Keep in mind my experience with audio consists...

So I'm looking for some headphones. To give you some background about how much I used to appreciate audio, just look at my current setup: Now that I've started getting into classical (and techno, but to a lesser extent), I'm rapidly discovering that my audio setup is lacking and I want...
