I just went balanced HD650 (see sig). So when I discovered Pokemon when I was a little kid in grade 4, I ran home and downloaded that no$gmb emulator and tried to play the game. I encountered this memory problem that crashed the game right as it started. I was heartbroken. For the next 5...

Tagging this!

Just a quick question: How durable is the super nylon? I guess being lighter and more flexible is a plus, but if it is easily torn later on I might as well stick to normal sleeving.

Tagging this, I'm dying to know how that Dac I + MKVII combo stacks up vs. the Audio GD gear.

Has anyone tried the HDP with HD650s?

I'm considering a WA6, but I'm taken aback at the cost of the tubes. If the Sophia burns out every year or something I'm spending $150 on upkeep. I have the EF2, but the tubes for it are like $20 bucks a pair. Am I drastically underestimating the lifespan on tubes?

I don't know why, but all of a sudden the treble on the Denons are beginning to bug me. It's becoming very fatiguing to listen to. I've had these for more than a year and they've been burned in for a while now, so I know the sound isn't changing. Can anyone recommend headphones (<$500) with a...

I just gotta say, I've owned both the KRK RP5 G2s and the M-Audio BX5a Deluxes and I liked the KRKs a lot better. I didn't use them for mixing music, but for listening pleasure the BX5as was unimpressive. I found the treble to be very harsh, while the KRKs very silky smooth.

I just tried this and well... someone is not going back to stereo.

Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...) This should do the trick.

Can someone tell if me if the 02 can handle 5.1 output? Right now I use headphones and a 2.1 setup, but I'm considering expanding to 5.1 in the future. If I grab a receiver, would I be able to passthrough 5.1 over the Musiland?

Hi all, Can anyone comment on the sound quality of a Zero Dac (default opamps, first version) versus a sound card in the sub $150 range? Here's the thing, 2 channel speakers don't really do it for me and I love being immersed in a surround setup. Right now I have a set of D2000s running...
