Mods, if there is a better place to post this, please do not hesitate to move it. But I figure the CS300 is a tube amplifier with a headphone output, so this should be okay. I bought this amplifier a few months back from another head-fier. Great transaction, no problems whatsoever. Lately, it...

I tried to find the approximate dimensions of this amp online and found nothing. Same for a Head-Fi search. Does anyone have this information? Thanks!

So, I'm looking for a balanced amplifier to pair with a DAC1 USB. I have narrowed my search down to these two amps. Without the DAC built-in, the HeadRoom Balanced Desktop costs around the same amount as the NX-33. I can't decide which to purchase. It seems that by virtue of crossfeed and...

Similar pictures have popped up on Head-Fi before, but I though I would share some pics from my visit to Music Hi-Fi in Taipei. I moved here about a month ago. Before I even decided to come, I had my friend go and check out the place to find out if it was as advertised. You can see their website...

I just noticed that I can adjust the master volume of my MacBook while my Corda 2Move is connected via USB. I don't think this had been the case before with my computer connected via toslink. Does anyone know if this is the correct setting? I could have sworn there was an option to disable...

Let me start by thanking everyone at Sleek Audio. They were very gracious and welcoming to me during my visit. They really rolled out the red carpet during my visit. All this for a customer who wasn't even paying for anything! During a recent meet in Tampa, I won a raffle. The prize was a...

I'm interested to know what amps (if any) Head-Fiers are using with their DAC1s. Right now, I'm running a pair of D2000s out of the DAC1 Pre's headphone amp. I rather like the sound. I've sidelined my HD650s for real lack of impact (I listen to a lot of percussive music). It seems like the...

Greetings all, I'm moving to Japan (after a short stay in Taiwan) later this year and plan on taking a minimum of gear with me. My source is my MacBook Pro. 90% of my time is spent listening to music, with only a bit of time dedicated to movies or television. However, I expect this proportion...

I'm just a bit curious when to expect these babies to be properly burned-in. Out of the box, the mids sounds slightly boxed-in. I've only had them hooked up for a few hours now, so I don't expect them to be at their best. Also, these are slightly heavy to the point that if I lean forward or...

...how do I incorporate this product into a larger system? I'd like to have an output (balanced or unbalanced) to use with an integrated amp and speakers, but it seems like that is only featured on the single-ended desktop amps. If I run a line out from an integrated into the HR Balanced...

So I participated in an iPod contest this weekend. It was hosted by Audio Visions South, in the Tampa area. The special guest judge was Dan D'Agostino, the Founder of Krell Industries. He was using the new Krell docking station to award prizes based on musical content and quality. Unfortunately...

Got an email from Audio Visions South concerning a contest that they'll be running: http://campaign-archive.com/archive....rid=CmDGxGr6wa Good Luck!!!

I'm just curious. I read all these reviews of products on this board and each one features updates based on burn-in hours. Has anyone noticed a product getting worse the longer they've had it?

...maybe you'll be interested in this: Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra Forgive me if someone has already mentioned this. But I heard a track on Worldwide with Gilles Peterson this week. Just thought I'd share.

Wow! To think it only took 4 days to get here from Ray. I worked it up on Sizeasy, but I can't believe how small it is! It looks like a toy! But it is very solidly built. I haven't have the chance to listen to it yet, but I can't wait to get started. Here's the eye candy:

Hi folks. I have a unique situation. I will be moving to Japan later this year with a short stop in Taiwan. Currently, I'm using a HR Ultra Micro DAC -> Graham Slee Solo -> HD650. I'm also in the process of trying to find a portable amp to replace my iBasso D1 which I'm selling. I'm taking...

Hi gang. I'm ignorant. Are there any amps that have these features? -DAC -Gain switch (2 or 3 position) -User replaceable battery I'm really only trying to compile a list so I can do a bit of research about the amps myself. Thanks.

The time had come for me to shop for a new DAC, so I decided to try the HR Micro and Ultra Micro DACs. Tonight, when I hooked them up to A/B against my current DACs, both Headroom DACs trumped my existing DACs (Moodlab Dice, iBasso D1 stock). However, I noticed that when I removed the optical...

I purchased a GS-1 on September 11. I was charged at the time and got confirmation from Justin. Since then, nothing. Should I be concerned yet? I understand there is a waiting period (quoted 3-4 weeks on the website) for these amps because they have to be built from scratch. But none of my...

Has anyone else had this problem? I treat my cans very well, but today I notice the paint chipping off the headband. I was mortified because I've only had these headphones for a couple of months now. I cannot find this part online either. Everyone sells replacement pads, but not the headband...

It's coming...just as soon as that GS-1 gets here. I'm excited already.

The first of the SS amps that I have ordered arrived today, the Meier Audio Corda Cantate. Today begins the shakedown. Keep in mind that I just received the amp, so it has not been burned in yet. Also, this is only my third amp after having tried the Headroom Total BitHead and purchased the...

I'm already very impressed with my new purchase and it's not even warmed up yet. I've got some amps on order and decided to go with a standalone DAC. I chose the Dice based on reviews. Most of the impressions included mentions of deep, authoritative bass. And I could hear it immediately. I...

So I pulled out an old CD that was a bit worn. Nothing severe, so I decided to proceed. I loaded into my NAD C 540 and during playback through the analog outs, I could hear what sounded like divots in the CD. The player was literally hitting these scratches on the disc. When I listened through...

First, I'd like to thank everyone for their input and advice since I joined up last week. I am now the proud owner of a pair of Sennheiser HD650s. I previously owned a pair of SR60s, HD580s and HD595s. I can honestly say that I can hear and appreciate the difference that these cans make. I have...
