Hello Everyone, I recently started a job with a well known Audio Cables/Accessories dealer. At this dealer they have a Lending Library of Audio Cables that people can borrow and audition at home. So I am having a discussion with my boss on whether having such a lending library for High End...

I just recently got back from a truly awesome vacation. We took a friend’s 38’ RV down to Tellico Plains Tennessee. We then rode our Motorcycles all around the area for 4 days. We of course did the Dragons Tail and Deals Gap, but the entire area is a treasure trove of Motorcycle Rides designed...

So what High End Equipment do you think of as being Overrated? and I don't mean just the wicked expensive cost no object items. how each of us "rates" an item is almost entirely subjective. So I would say that whether something is overrated has more to do with perceived performance than...

To me the best performance was in 86 when Smokey Robinson performed the Anthem fading into America the Beautiful (At the World Series) - Goosebumps.

On the bottom right of each post there's a "Thumbs Up" link (To vote for it being a great post  ). It's only fair that there should also be a Thumbs Down link as well.   I'm a minor troll of little consequence, but there are some major A--------- out there and if there were a working...

Hi, I don't know how this book passed under my radar back in 82, but I'm now looking for a copy to borrow. I'm happy to pay shipping both ways and I'd be very careful with it (no corner turning and the like). Might it be a fun idea to have a book lending thread? I've always been partial to...

After much hemming and hawing I decided to build a new PC. This PC would incorporate RAID and have lots of space for use as a DLNA NAS when the PS Audio Bridge finally becomes available for my PerfectWave DAC.   Realizing that I'm not a gamer so I went low-ball on the Video card, but I can...

Personally I like Audio-gd products. I was an early adopter of the Phoenix Headphone amp/Preamp, and I don't regret the decision (Although the Phoenix is a better Preamp than Headphone amp, as an amp I think it's a decent value but hardly world class). My main issue with Audio-gd is that due to...

I really like my speaker rig’s digital front end which consists of an Exemplar Music Server and an Exemplar XD-1 DAC (A heavily modified Xindak DAC-5). The XD-1 is an amazingly good DAC, its strengths are the quality of the 6922 based SE outputs (and the associated supped up power supply) but it...

Those of you who frequent the NY area meets have met me and know why I refer to myself as “The Big Man of Audio”. In recent years I have allowed myself to get quite large, when I dieted I was very successful at losing 40 lbs. and then gaining back 70 lbs. My weight has been adversely affecting...

People need to fill in their profiles. A persons profile gives other members a point of reference when considering a members questions or comments. LOCATION Something as simple as listing your location can be extremely helpful. If a question is asked about a specific item if the poster has...

I've got a set of Jade's that I really like, but I want to get another set of Electrostatic Headphones for contrast. The OII is a bit out of reach at the moment, so i am considering the Stax 404 Limited Edition and the Koss ESP-950. It's been a long time since I listened to the 404 and even...

Just to get an idea as to how many members have recabled their Headphones? and whether the result was positive or not. This Poll is for people who have actually had someone recable their headphones or did it themselves. Please do not vote in the poll if you have not had your own headphones...

My trusty Oppo HD-970 finally bit the bird. It's been my main secondary transport for my Headphone rig for some time now. It survived being dragged to at least 6 meets (without the box, wrapped in a towel). I believe that it lasted about 4 years of very hard use, so I'm not upset at its passing...

I was currious about how many of us have purchased a Audio-Gd Phoenix headphone amplifier. I was one of the first ten, and I still love it. Who else has purchased a Phoenix? New or Used? and have you kept it?

Jim Thiel the founder and chief designer at Thiel has passed away. One of the great speaker designers and a true gentleman. He will be missed.

Possibly the best ad ever! YouTube - Dokken Finally something Dokken has done something that I like

More than any series in recent memory every week True Blood has me excited to see the next episode. Now it's six days until the season finale. I can't wait for this Sunday, except I will miss it while it's gone. I think I'll cancel HBO until it comes back. At least Sundays will have Dexter...

It's poor planning on my part, I am about to receive my new Audio-gd Phoenix balanced amplifier and I find myself with no dynamic headphones to use with it. I have a set of Denon AH-D7000's on order but have no idea when they might ship (J&R). So I am looking to borrow a nice set of headphone...

I'm so excited! I just had to share. I just got confirmation, my Brother has scored tickets for this weekend so I am going to see/hear: Friday night at Carnegie it Boulez conducting Mahler No. 3, Saturday night it's Boulez conducting Mahler No.4 and Songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, and on...

I'm getting ready to recable my K701's with some Crystal Cable that I obtained. I have been searching for someplace to get Molded Strain Reliefs or Molded Cable Grips or Strain Relief Grommets that would be suitable. The Crystal Cable is small wire, the O.D. is only 1.75 mm so it's a small...
