Hi,   I'm looking for a coiled cable to suit my Sennheiser HD600.   Does such a cable exist?   I'm not interested in audiophile aftermarket cables. Durability is paramount.

Hello, Has anyone had experience with the Denon DCM 280/380 multi-CD changers? I was considering the NAD C542 but like the idea of a 5 disc changer with .mp3 capability... (don't hit me!)

Has anyone in Australia audition the well-like PSB Alpha B speaker? How much does it go for around here? What did you think? Is it suitable for _real_ bookshelf use? Or do they need stands? I will be partnering it with either a 10wpc microhifi system (Panasonic SC-PM03( or an ordinary...

Looking to build my first headphone amp. My local electronics store (bit like Radio Shack? in US) has this kit headphone amp kit From the specs does it look ok? I can go in the store and get more details if necessary.

I was at my local record store last week and realised they've changed all the headphones. Every listening station (Technics SL1200Mk2 -> Sony integrated amp) is now outfitted with the Sennheiser HD 202. Usually I bring my own headphones in (usually KSC35, rarely HD25) but I was curious and...

I've been looking to upgrade my onboard soundcard, and came across the Videologic SonicXplosion / SonicXplosion DVD. Does anyone have any details on these cards? The SonicXplosion DVD supports DTS, Prologic II, and Dolby Headphone, but the Videologic website dosn't say how it does this, so I...

After the long wait what can I say? What a disappointment. Sounds like it's about 10 years old- full of bleeps, synth warbles and muddied sounds. But of course, that explains why he's been defending the delay -it's been a "work-in-progress" for the last 10 years. I really tried to...

I just upgraded my computer and it's got the Nforce APU onboard. It's gooooood. Except they had to cripple it by using a Realtek ALC650 for the analog i/o. (45dB SNR) But it's only a $60 mobo, so coaxial & digital S/PDIF output (and Nforce's real-time Dolby Digital encoding) was a bonus...

I've been listening almost exclusively to my MX500 lately, and switched over to other phones. I think I've grown so used to the sound that I don't like the others. Koss KSC35 sound boomy and have veiled mids. HD600 has too much stereo separation and thus too annoying to listen to. V700DJ...

AOpen released a Pentium 4 motherboard with a twin triode tube preamp (line level) onboard, the AX4B-533Tube. http://english.aopen.com.tw/products...4b-533tube.htm

Issit good?

Are there any standout speaker systems in Creative's Cambridge Soundworks range? I can't seem to get a good comparison from Creative's website. There are so many models, they should have "Our speakers compared" section outlining major differences. I'm looking for both a 2.1 and 4.1 system...

Hi, I'm looking to a buy a pair of headphones as a present for someone who listens almost exclusively to classical music. Now he's a piano teacher so I want to really WOW him. What should be on my shortlist? Must be lightweight, not too large and comfortable. Superb sounds with...

Well I think almost everyone here knows that the HP890 are phenomenal value for money here in Australia. But did you know that at they cost only US$15-20 more than the Ozzy street price of a pair of KSC-35? And good luck finding KSC-35. I give them the tktran PRICE/PERFORMANCE CROWN for...

About time too. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1598 I have been waiting for a Panasonic one, but in the meantime the redbook SL-CT470 works a treat.

Any college dwellers here? What sort of hifi systems do you have in your room? Thinking of buying something that's small, sounds reasonable good, and looks nice? Bose?

I watched The 5th Element tonight, and was completely captivated during "The Diva" scene. Can anyone drop names of opera pieces for the complete beginner? Something popular that I may be able to find on the net to have a listen to before I buy it? Thanks.

What's the smallest and most rugged headphone amp? I'd like one for ultra-portable use. Must be tough, withstand some physical abuse, humidity and have durable swtiches/knobs. the JMT Penguin?

How does adding a double adapter to an headphone extension cable affect the output? I dabble in electronics, but all I can make out is that 2 headphones would mean higher impedance load? And that means...??? Are there high quality double adapters available?

Has anyone tried hooking up a portable CD player to an amplifier and speakers? Just for fun I connected my Panasonic SL-CT470 portable CD player to a couple of active monitors- the Event 20/20bas and ATC SCM20A, and am getting fantastic results! I didn't realise the SL-CT470 was THIIIIIIIS...

Can anyone identify these headphones? Are they rebadged Koss headphones, and if so, what model? http://filemaker.webfactory.com.au/D...2609562&-find=

Hello all. I've been frequenting Head-Fi for almost 6 months now. But this is my first review. So go easy on me. Quick summary at the bottom: Aim: To buy pair of cheap earbuds for casual home use and aerobic exercise. For some reason I burn through earphones like no other. So my...

I think my headphone enthusiasm is diminishing. I mean there still plenty of headphones and headphone amps I haven't auditioned, eg. Ety's, Stax, Orpheus, but headphones just don't do it for me anymore. Speakers -> Headphones -> Speakers... Anyone else go through this phase?

I'm absolutely in love with some of the old SNES tracks. 64KB limit - amazing. My favourite has to be Donkey Kong Country's Coral Capers.spc Oil Drum Alley.spc Hidden Track.spc (from a hidden level) Get the entire soundtrack here: http://www.zophar.net/zsnes/spc/dkc1.rar...

Hey all. I've been thinking of getting a car stereo installed. Does anyone know of any good forums for car sound? And as good as Head-Fi is for headphones?
