    Tunebox 2.....possibly the better Chromecast Audio

    Sorry to revive an old thread but just curious if you’re still enjoying this product? Also curious if it supports other streaming services outside of Spotify and AirPlay.

    Unique Melody Merlin and Miracle Demo Program

    I just received the Merlins that mistertomlinson had, at least I think I did. I also put the same deposit down for the privilege of trying these out. Ive been listening for about an hour so far and I'm really enjoying them. They have some SERIOUS bottom end. Some might consider it too much, but...

    Does the Darkvoice 337 have a universal power transformer?

    Just wondering if anyone knows if the DV337 has a universal transformer (dual primary setup).  I've recently moved to a 230V country and currently have my amp at the office running off of a step down transformer.  I'd like to just rewire it, but all my tools are at home and I was hoping someone...

    Joint European Head-Fi/HIFI-FORUM.de Meet in Berlin, Sept. 11th. It's on!

    It's really pretty amazing how much gear we're going to have at this thing; especially considering there will be under 30 people!  Really looking forward to this meet.

    Joint European Head-Fi/HIFI-FORUM.de Meet in Berlin, Sept. 11th. It's on!

    I'd love to but I sold all my other cans off once I heard the HD-650's.  I'm particularly interested in hearing the HD-800's.  Sorry I can't be of my help :(   Quote:

    Joint European Head-Fi/HIFI-FORUM.de Meet in Berlin, Sept. 11th. It's on!

    Just stumbled on this thread and having recently moved to Berlin, I would love to attend.  I've got a Darkvoice 337 I can bring along as well (most of my other gear is already represented).   I'll also be bringing a step down transformer for any of you guys that have 110V gear; its a beast...

    Signal Cables Vs. BlueJeans

    Sorry for the slow response.  I think build quality on them both is excellent.  I have about 5 different Signal Cable products and several Blue Jeans products as well.  I've never had any problem with any of them.  I just can't really here much of a difference in any cable.  I think once you...

    Signal Cables Vs. BlueJeans

    I own both the IC's you mentioned, I can't here a difference.  There is a HUGE difference in the flexiblity of these cables.  The Blue Jeans stuff is stiffer and doesn't bend as well, the Signal Cable stuff does.  Just something to consider as you purchase.

    I've given in to the dark side- Hello Zu!

    I'd love to hear what you think of them. What are you using to drive them?

    harley orange speakers :-)

    It's always great to see people loving the single driver thing. I've only recently gotten into it but so far I'm very impressed. I've got a pair of Omegas as well, but I've been gawking at the Tekton site for about 6 months now. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with something of theirs in due time...

    Buffalo II Update

    I'm still very much a rookie at DIY but am thinking about my first DAC. I've still got a ways to go before I actually understand everything that goes into a Buffalo DAC but I'd like to get an idea of what I'm looking at the build one of this $$$ wise. If I buy the $299 DAC module with Placid...

    Soviet tubes

    I've started down the perilous trail of DIY tube amps and I must say, it has really made me appreciate Russian tubes. First of all, the are DANG cheap and are really pretty much bullet proof (especially the e/ev stuff). I think I've given up on the theory that all NOS stuff is better simply...

    Maybe I should just quit headphone and go Loudspeaker?

    I don't often troll through the high-end forum as most of the stuff discussed here is well out of my price range but this thread caught my attention and I've been following it for the last few days. At the end of the day, I very much agree with the posters that say "why not try them both?"...

    Best desktop nearfield speakers for around $750

    I've only heard the Quad passive version (I own almost the whole lineup of L2's) but I LOVE them and I think they are seriously overlooked in the HiFi world. I've heard nothing but great things about the active versions but haven't heard them myself.

    GR9 iPod Transport???

    It sounds like this is being designed as a mate for the Rx but I'd also love to see a desktop version of this. Also, will this be compatible with all generations of iPod?

    MiniWatt Tube Amp (ALO dealer)

    Do you think the output voltage from an iMod (4G) is enough to drive this baby well? I've got some Omega speakers (93dB) that I'm thinking about pairing up with this little guy.

    Darkvoice 337 - A Review

    I haven't listened to my 337/HD650 rig in a while, been trying to DIY a SET speaker setup, but I fired it up last late for a bit and I'll tell you... it really is awesome. I've tried my share of amps/cans and I keep coming back to the DV and Senns. None of my purchases have stayed with me this...

    Anybody had a Quickie?!

    I bought one, I think the first one they sold, and unfortunately it arrived with bad tubes. Customer service at Bottlehead is AWESOME and they quickly offered to send replacement tubes (and an extra pair for my trouble). The tubes should I arrive in a couple of days and I'll post impressions...

    Thanks for the suggestions so far. I've never seen those websites but they might be interesting routes to go. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    Can anzone DIY a tube cage?

    Those are super good looking but I don't think they offer much protection for tiny fingers. Thanks for the link though, that site has lots of other cool stuff.

    Can anzone DIY a tube cage?

    So I've recently been bitten by the DIY bug and have started construction on a couple of tube amps and preamps via some kits of found at diyaudio.com. Things are going well so far (haven' blown anything up, burned anything down, or electrocuted anything) but I have a small problem. I love the...

    Where to get good transformer? (240V sec, 6.3V and 12.6V filaments)

    I just bought some Edcor transformers for my first DIY build. I don't have much to compare to, but everything I read said these where great bang for the buck products.
