My M50s, that I purchased from a fellow Head-fier, came with a very long (6' or so ) Mogami 2534 dual entry cable. It's length and stiffness has always kept me from using them anywhere but home. Does anyone know of a cable I can replace it with, that still has the quality, but isn't so darn...

Hello all, hope this is the right place to post this.   I'm going to be resurrecting my iPod soon and want to keep it in it's best condition. I'm looking for something more then just a skin, but not so much like a Pelican case. Having trouble finding anything decent since it's been out of...

The audio gear in the video is quite nice as well. http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/05/jack-white-announces-ultra-version-of-lazaretto-and-its-ridiculous/

Hello all,   As the title says, I recently came across some K120s ( non vented cups ) and am wondering about a possible amp for them. The 600 ohm's leads me to believe that it's going to be a necessity for these cans to sound their best. So far, I'll I've been using them with is my Nuforce...

I'm a bit torn on which I should do. I'd really like to get that FiiO E18 and pair it with my HTC One. On the other hand, I do have a 4th gen iPod ( gray scale ) sitting in my desk drawer. I'd just have to get a new battery. Also the CF card mod. And a clear front panel for good measure. Which...

Once in a while, you find some pretty cool stuff at the second hand store. This past Sunday, I found a pair of Monsoon MH-500 speakers. The shame of it was, there as no volume control nor was the sub any where to be found. So, for $14, I decided to bring them home and check them out. I have a...

Sorry if this is a repost but I thought it was cool. Head-fi was mentioned too. http://thehighfidelityreport.com/occupy/

I found this kinda interesting.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAcjV60RnRw&feature=g-logo-xit If that doesn't work.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAcjV60RnRw&feature=g-logo-xit

I just wanted to bring this to peoples attention if it hadn't crossed their computer screen already.   When I first got my Lumia 900, I was blown away by just about everything, except for the app selection and what I thought was just horrid SQ from the headphone jack. Well, today, as I was...

A documentary on the electric guitar from the point of view of three significant rock musicians. The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White.   http://www.crackle.com/c/It_Might_Get_Loud     I can appreciate all three guy's abilities and their own greatness. I did however, found Jack's point...

Something kinda like this, but I was hoping to find something a bit lower profile and fully enclosed. Hoping to have something I can access from my phone in USB host mode ( when I finally figure out how to access it ) so I could have my full small full library ( only 113GB ) of FLACs with me at...

..(4 pin) balanced headphone amp with RCA and USB in, in about the $400 range? I can't seem to find one. Tubes, or SS, doesn't matter. 24/96 support on the DAC would be nice.

Just thought I'd pass this along. Have a nice day.   http://www.audiostream.com/content/sonic-studio-announces-new-lower-pricing-amarra

"A feature documentary examining why over 3,000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade."   http://www.crackle.com/c/I_Need_That_Record   It's worth putting an hour aside in your day to watch. 

Found this on geekologie.com and figured I'd share.   I guess it's just a sign of the times.   

While I don't have high hopes for the SQ of these undoubtly sexy looking cans given their technology, I can't say I'm not looking forward to some impressions later in the year...

( nevermind )   Thanks for your input, JRG. I've gone a non audio direction.

http://www.audiostream.com/content/cut-flac   Seems some publications are finally catching up to the rest of the world that is already in the know. Nothing most of us don't already know, but I thought I'd pass it along none the less.   Cheers.    

  Hello all,   So I downloaded NIN's "The Slip" in 24/96 .WAV, again. After reading a bit of the "iPad can play 24/96, iPod Touch can't" discussion in the portable rigs thread. Out of boredom, I played "Discipline", in iTunes ( On a Windows 7, Eee PC 1201N ), to my ( first gen ) uDAC to my...

This new phone seems like it could be my end all / be all, of portable media devices. Big screen, big battery, big specs, play/record 1080p video, and, it supports FLAC with out any 3rd party apps. I'm going to have to pick this up.  ...

I had to think if it was April Fools Day for a second.. This is a bit silly.    http://signature.nuforce.com/udac2sge/index.php

Going by sound quality alone, it really shouldn't matter which one I want to get, right? I know Mac has that Amerra, which would be fun to try and I've done all the variations of kernel streaming.. Would I even need to bother with that since the PC does have the digital out?

  Before I knew what the amount was, I was pretty excited. Turns out, it's for $30. I can't really find anything I want under $80, but let's call the ceiling, $50. Ideas?

I'm going to be moving soon, and I want to start building on a non-headphone system. To give you an idea of distance, I have an Ikea Jerker desk with the swiveling shelves on either side. My guess would be, that'd put speakers about 3.25' from my head. My question is, how do I determine if...
