i return home from a superbowl party last night to find that my roommate's dog has shown an interest in hi-fi audio equipment. i'm usually very careful to put my things up as well as close the door to my bedroom but last night i left the door open with my UE customs on the bed. this is what...

hey guys, i'm looking for my first "real" CD player. at this point i'm only looking for something playing standard format and won't need a digital out but it seems most may come with these options anyway. budget will be somewhere around $400 - $600. thanks for any help.

the holidays are approaching and i'm the world's worst gift giver. buying for my sister-in-law causes me great stress so i ask for the wisdom my fellow head-fiers this year. my sister-in-law: mid 30s, mother of 18 month old and pregnant with 2nd child. they don't live near me so i don't know her...

i currently own a singlepower ppx3 slam, and was thinking of selling and upgrading to a ray samuels raptor. after doing a bit of reading here i'm not sure if that upgrade would be worth the cost. does anyone have experience with both amps? my set up will be iMod to either K701 or darth beyers...

seems radiohead may be using this technique on their upcoming CD. http://www.greenplastic.com/ scroll down a few headlines.

i just found out that there was a shooting at virginia tech this morning. gunman opened fire in a dorm killing one person then went to an engineering building and opened fire again killing at least 21. a sad day indeed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070416/..._tech_shooting

so here is my set up...akg k701 through either a heed canamp or through a ppx3 slam, i love them but i want a secondary set of headphones and i figured these should be a bit more "fun". i read in a few other threads that the 990 05 version is a good choice...so my questions are: 1) what is...

having a pair of K701s made me a believer in "break in" but i've never really been so sure about burn-in. i've never really noticed a difference in the cables that i have. BUT, having received my Heed CanAmp about a week ago i've been doing more than a bit of listening and i can honestly say...

after waiting 3 1/2 months for my canamp to arrive and taking today off from work to receive it, i'm very disappointed. i took it out of the box and retrieved my k701s for my first listen. i noticed when plugging in the RCAs that the connections weren't very tight. they slid in very easily. i...

just out of curiosity i listened to a couple of songs with my stock iPod earbuds through an iMod and amped with an RS Tomahawk. it was pretty interesting. anyone else every tried it?

i have been asked to post some pics of my sensaphonics silicon custom molds for my Shure E4c. i'll try to cover all questions you might ask but if i don't address something you'd like to know post it here and i'll continue to check in for a day or two. here goes: the process: after i made a...

i'm considering purchasing this system: http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/p...tem.php?id=235 it doesn't come with a receiver. anyone have any suggestions for a receiver to go with polk gear? thanks

i was at hi-fi buys today and saw a Pioneer Elite dv45 for $200. it is a floor model but comes with regular warranty. worth buying?

Nevermind

i have an interest in purchasing my first tube amp, probably in the sub $200 range. (maybe a little dot II++ ?) i'm pretty ignorant to tubes and have a couple of questions if there is a kind soul that could give me some help. i've done a bit of reading but still haven't found out how long tubes...
