Seeking an upgrade from my current M-Audio Revolution 7.1, I purchased an HT Omega Claro Plus sound card. Much to my dismay, this card is incapable of true 2.1 output and outputs a separate subwoofer signal only in 4.1, 5.1 or 7.1. Looking at the manuals for the Asus D2 and the Auzentech...

For several years I have been I have been running a 2.1 system from my M-Audio Revo 7.1 using a B&K Reference 4420 amplifier, Von Schweikert VR1 monitors and a Dayton Titanic subwoofer. Though I game occasionally, sound quality is much more important to me that gaming performance. Lately I...

I'm looking for an upgrade from my modded "Tushi" 3960. I can use the Tushi or a Sony DVP-S360 as a transport to the DAC. Any thoughts or recommendations? Aragon A2D2? Theta Chroma? I only have about 11" of depth to work with, so I'm not sure the MSB offerings will fit in the space I have to...

My current source is a modded Toshiba 3960. I'm looking for a used redbook player for under $500 that offers more (and punchy) bass with smooth, extended highs. The player is for my bedroom system, so depth is a factor. Much more than 12" deep will not work. Any thoughts or opinions out there?

Sorry. Wrong Forum.

I would like to compare the analog outputs of my CD player to the DAC of my Corda Aria. Since the digital input of the Aria is USB only, I was curious if anyone manufactured a digital cable that was RCA at one end, and USB at the other.

OK. A newbie question regarding rechargeable 9v batteries. The Plainviews are highly regarded at 9.6v but only 1700mHa. There are other rechargeable 9v batteries out there that list 9v and 2500mHa. At least in power tools, I tend to think of amps as representing the guts and the power in use...

The upgrade bug is biting again. I'm currently using a modified Toshiba 3960 and I'm considering an upgrade to this source for CD redbook playback. Anyone care to compare the "Tushi" to the Arcam 73T or Alpha 9? Has anyone had the chance to A-B the Arcam 73T against the Alpha 9??

I contacted Sennheiser USA and was told they no longer had grills for the HD600 and they wouldn't be getting any. Not now, not ever. They were, however, willing to sell me grills for the HD650 at a cost of $36.76 EACH. Any thoughts on where/how I can obtain a pair of HD600 grills?

I love tight, slammin' bass. So, for a tube upgrade, I thought I would try a 6336 tube. When I wrote Woo Audio, Mr. Woo replied: "...the 6336's filament current is 4.7A, not a direct substitute for the 6080/6AS7. Using the 6336 with the WA3 will overload the transformer..." So then I...

The first week of December, I decided to upgrade my HD580's by purchasing a HD650 cable and HD600 grills. Yesterday, the cable arrived, but no grills. I called Sennheiser and Dan Kelly (extension 176) said my order had been cancelled and he would check into it and call me back. Today I came home...

I'm currently using an SR-71 to drive my HD580's and I'm curious about trying a tube amp just to hear their sound. Upscale audio has an MG Head OTL MKII for $275. Anyone have an opinion on the MG Head/580 combo or on the price Upscale wants for the MKII ??

I am currently running my HD-580's with an SR-71 but the dreaded headfi virus has taken hold and I have an ever-increasing curiosity regarding tube amps. Has anyone compared the Woo directly to the PPX3?? If not, has anyone compared the SR-71 directly to either of the aforementioned amps...

I'm looking to upgrade my PCDP from the current Panasonic SL-SX460. SQ is my main concern so I'm not interested in anti-shock protection, remotes, etc. I also have no interest in MP3, etc. since, with a collection of over 600 CD's, I have no desire to rip and encode anytime I want to listen to a...

I recently purchased a used SR71 to upgrade from my older TAH. The SR71 drives my HD580's much better than the TAH ever did and the impact and texture of the music are significantly improved. Despite these improvements, I find myself missing crossfeed. Has anyone had the chance to listen to both...

I am fortunate to have a very nice audio setup, so I use 'phones only when reading in bed or to have tunes when visiting friends or relatives. For this reason, an amp with a DC jack is a big plus and an amp that is "mobile" is more important than an amp that is "portable". I'm currently using...
