I'm not too active on this site anymore. I have a setup I'm pretty happy with, so I my days of aggressive great trying as somewhat behind me. But I know we used to have a pretty good group in the area several years ago, and it was to listen to different great. I'm curious whether there's...

So I guess I'm in the market for a new headphone amp. I'd prefer solid state but would consider a tube or hybrid amp. Source is a Topping D90. Headphones are mainly Beyer 1770/1990. I'd spend up to 600. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Would like it to be balanced.

Does anyone have a setup where they use a mini PC or other computer essentially as a transport to an extermal dac, and then use either an iPad/iPhone or Android phone to control the PC (select songs, etc.)? Is such a thing possible?

Right now for a bedside set up, I'm using a portable player and amp. I have a couple of home headphone amps I can use, and I'm geting the dac mentioned above. My question is what to use as the source, as it will essentialy be used as a transport. Just continue to use a portable player? A...

Are there any tips for changing the 1770 earpads? I cant get the leather pads on at all.

Old time member here, but I've been inactive for a while. I'm looking for a currently available portable player that has a crossfeed. I'll use it with a portable amp, but it seems most available portable amps don't include crossfeed. Dr. Meier recommended finding a player that supports it...

What gauge 3.5mm to rca cables do you use for computer audio? Any benefit to anything better than 22 awg?

I've found shielded mini cables, and I've found mini cables with right-angle connectors.  But I can't seem to find it all in one package.  I only need a 3ft cable.  Any help?

I've owned two pairs of ER4 (and 4S and 4P) earphones for almost ten years. The cable on one channel of the 4P has as short. I confirmed that the 4P drivers were fine by swapping them on my 4S cable. I emailed Etymotic about getting a replacement cable, and they are happy to sell one to...

I've been away for a while, and it seems the portable market has gotten a little bit wacky. Could someone let me know if anything fits the following description? I wanted an HD player (30 gig at least) with a line out. I will not be using video at all, so I don't care about that. I'd prefer...

What's my best bet for a soundcard with coaxial output? And by that, I mean that it's all I care about. The dacs can be mediocre for all I care, I just want the best digital out connection I can get. If there's a budget solution, great, but I'll take any recommendations.

My Nomad 3 Jukebox is dying, so I'm looking for a new mp3 player. It was so much easier back when I got the Nomad. Now there are just too many and I can't (won't) keep up. I just want something with about 20 gigs of storge, an analog line out, good sound quality, and preferably a nice...

I picked this up today. As an initial matter, I don't think you get to release an eponymous studio album this far into your career, Pearl Jam -- so I dub this the Avocado Album. Don't like it? Well, you should have spent 5 minutes to come up with a name then. I've only listend a couple of...

We had a thunderstorm last night. My network was out this morning. I connected by cable modem directly to my computer and it works fine. When I connect it back to the router it doesn't work. I can access the router through my computer fine, but it's clear that the router, for some reason, isn't...

I was really impressed. Their performance was effortless. They played a good mix of music, too. And despite the general crapiness of the venue, they sounded really good.

Can anyone tell me or refer to a website that explains how to setup email addresses for a domain that you've registered? I'm not interested in running an email server, but are there companies/services that allow you do this for reasonable rates?

I didn't think it was THIS short. http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/2006...pcworld/124312

Any opinion on a good grand of lens filters? There are so many brands and they have similar products. I'm just looking for basics -- UV and a circular polarizer.

Does anyone know if this player is any good? http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Onkyo...oductDetail.do Onkyo DVPS502s

I'm thinking about getting an XM tuner. I will use it in my car 99% of the time, but may want to take it out and use in the house occasionally. I don't need one to carry around and listen to. There are a bunch of models and they all seem the same. Any recommendations?

Made the Yahoo front page. Could it happen?! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051106/...ael_collins_dc

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051104/...h_boys_lawsuit It's looks as if one of the strangest stories behind any album is going to have another chapter.

Thanks to a fellow Head-fier, I was able to get the HF-1s for a little bit. I was curious about them and wanted to hear them, but because I already owned some top-tier Grados, I couldn't justify the purchase. I thought I'd post some comparative impressions. I'd like to do a full review, but I...

What would you recommend for a small, AC powered, AM radio for the office? Of course, it will have FM, but I'm really most concerned with AM reception.

I picked up the DVDs last weekend. I missed this season when it was on HBO -- how unlike HBO to show the series maybe once?! Anyway, I've only watched half the episodes so far, but I've laughed so hard I cried. So, if you need a few good laughs, and you liked the first season, it's a safe...
