Hi Head-fiers,   as the U.S. economy picks up, more and more of you should be out there searching for a better employment opportunity.  To that end, I've started this thread for the Head-Fi community to pool our collective connections, and share job opportunities to each others' benefit.  ...

Hifiman HE-6/EF-6: An Elite Headphone System, Under One Roof     Not that long ago, even the best headphone systems nearly always had a glaring deficiency or two, and few, if any, were all-around performers that could transition from musical genre to genre, let along into home theater.  Sonic...

In order to sufficiently inaugurate my newly minted Headamp Pico, I figured what better than a battle with my primary standby of most of the last year, the Apogee MiniDAC? And to make things even better, a popular portable headphone amp, the Ray Samuels Hornet, has emerged from a generous...

Perhaps there is a thread or other mention of this problem that I've managed to miss, but PM notification emails have been absent for at least the last week for me. Anyone else having this problem, or have news on it?

DAC-Amp Battle: Apogee Mini-DAC vs. AQVOX USB 2 D/A MkII vs. April Music Stello DA100/HP100 vs. Meier Audio Corda Opera Fit and Finish / Build Quality: As you can see, these are some very attractive and well built components. The Opera certainly has a louder and more...

Thankfully the photo gallery is finally working again, so here's the pics I would've posted weeks ago: As for how they sound, there are two primary differences I've noted so far: Bass Impact: it was obvious on first listen that the bass hits harder in balanced mode. Not that...

So this weekend I recieved and built the PINT kit sold by [ak]zip, and I must say, this is a fantastic DIY project. Great sound from a very small and inexpensive package, that isn't too difficult to put together. I am not fully informed on all matters concerning why this project was...

I picked up this DAC today from a nice fellow on the 'gon. I was amazed to find how well-built it was upon my first encounter with it. It is nearly as voluminous and as heavy if not moreso than my Dynahi. Pictures definitely don't do this item justice; it exudes elegance. Though it looks...

DAC Showdown: AQVOX USB 2 D/A vs. Benchmark DAC1 vs. Lavry Black DA10 The Back-story: For well over a year, as many of you know, I’ve been one of Head-Fi’s most prominent DAC1 apologists, arguing the merits and performance of this particular piece of gear until the cows came home...

If anyone knows a CD or DVD (or even VHS) that one can buy that contains the music video for the title track of "Tusk", it would be much appreciated. I have done quite a bit of snooping around and have yet to find anything that overtly contains this video.

Make it a great one, metal brother!

Today I bought an AKG K26p for my wife's Dell DJ20, as she wanted closed headphones but small enough to not stick out. Since I could get them for $40 at the local Guitar Center (and I thought the K24 sounded pretty darn good a t a recent meet), we decided to give them a try. Straight out of...

As we have added quite a few new sponsors lately, I noticed today that the top of the screen is starting to get rather crowded, which leads me to wonder whether as we add more sponsors, they are each recieving a lower overall amount of additional traffic, as a result of their membership. When...

http://buyriteelectronics.com/Mercha...Code=MDRSA5000 I already ordered so now I'm tossing it out to all you. Wonder if they'll sell out as fast as Beach Audio. They have a lifetime 8.8 rating on resellerratings, and were nice to deal with over the phone.

Boy oh boy am I ever glad to have this little gem! I always knew my Archos FMR was a bit of a piece of junk, but this player just emphasized it to an extreme degree. Aside from the beautiful fit and finish, tight little leather case, easy to navigate menus, and all too nice multi-codec...

I guess this puts me into the catergory of clinically obsessed, or did I pass that line a LONG time ago? The scary part is, I don't see this interest dying out of me any time soon

So it started about two months ago, I was curious to give the RS-1 a good listen, so I found a local dealer, and carted my DAC1 on over. Everything I played on the RS-1's sounded better than on the HD650's with stock balanced cable which I also carted along for comparison. More detail, more...

Say what you will about various offerings from other companies, the Orphues is still the rarest, most expensive, most opulent, mystical, almost mythical headphone out there. How long do you think it will be before some company puts together an offering out there that tops it as the world's most...

Anyone who has a copy care to help me out? I've flashed mine to the Prodigy, and would like to try the original out again for a while. Send me a PM if you have it.

So get your butts on over to http://www.headphonereviews.org/ , created by fellow head-fier Commando, register, and start posting your reviews. With just a little work from everyone to put in what they think about their cans, this could become a superb sister resource to head-fi. I already...

So for a long time there has been this plugin called "convolver" sitting in my foobar DSP tray, and I never knew what it was for. After a little study over in the foobar forums, I have found this tool to be quite useful. What the DSP does is essentially impose an "impluse" file onto the sound...

Curious as to what the results would be. I've only heard the HD650 (major gains in soundstage and bass), PS1 (likewise), and DT880 (not much gain at all) used as such. It would be interesting if the soundstage expanded as it did on the PS1, since that is the achilles' heel of the HP1000 as far...

So a few days ago I got bored. A though entered my head "hey, the DAC1 has balanced output, and it is only 60ohms output impedance, why not use that to drive the HD650 balanced?" A pair of neutrik XLR's and one spare stock cable (thanks Sennheiser!) later, I was ready to go. The sound is a...

So I came into posession of a 40GB NJB3 today. I had to do little soldering to get the headphone jack working again, but that was no problem. However, windows 200 will not for the life of me recognize it when I plug it in using the firewire ports of my 8RDA+ motherboard. I have tried...

Lately I've been noticing (using the HD650) that albums with even the most biting vocals or cymbals have lost that sharp bite of sibilance that I had been used to (on other cans). For example I hear the sibilance loud and clear with the E5, which is supposed to have a more rolled-off high end...
