    Looking for power cables and interconencts on a budget?

    Recently I've been looking for some quality power cables without the idiotic audiophile tax included in the price and came across an ad from Patrick Cullen (of Cullen Circuits) on Audiogon.  The prices seemed pretty decent so I sent him an email asking a few questions.  He was very informative...

    The HD650's are missing something, what headphones will fill the gap?

    I used to own HD650's a few years ago and had always found them to be "perfect" for me.  The sound signature they offered up was exactly what I preferred.  However, recently I purchased a newer pair and have found that they seem to be lacking a bit of the lower end punch that I recall.  I can't...

    Need a sound card with coaxial output, does brand really matter?

    I need a sound card that has coaxial output and will support Kernel Streaming for XP.  Does brand matter at all or can I just pick up any old sound card?  Any recommendations?  Right now I have a Chaintech AV-710 and use the optical output, however I was never able to get kernel streaming...

    Power Conditioning and Isolation, what are my options?

    Recently I've been shopping around for something that can not only protect my audio equipment, but will also provide cleaner power to my individual components.  I've looked at power conditioners from many companies and recently came across the isolation transformers from Tripp Lite (specifically...

    Custom IEM's Under $500

    I'm required to fly a lot for work and it seems that the custom molded IEM options have quadrupled in the past few years.  I'm having a hard time getting my bearings straight and would be interested in hearing some recommendations for options under $500.   I've owned just about every...

    DAC/Amp for home listening

    I'm looking to purchase a home setup after giving this hobby a break for quite some time.  I want to purchase a DAC/Amp to be used at home.  Sources will be my computer (USB or optical) and iPod.  I initially started looking at the HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC combo since it's the only thing I could...

    Howdy ya'll...

    Wow, it's been a while since I've visited Head-Fi, I guess this place is still around. What's new around here? Did Sennheiser ever release those HD700's? I guess I've got some reading to do before I start buying stuff again.

    Tool - 2007 Tour

    Yeah yeah, more babbling about Tool. After waiting 4 years to see Tool live, I finally got the chance last Sept. 11th. It was quite the emotional day, but turned out to be a large dissapointment. Maynard was sick However, I just bought a ticket to their San Antonio show on March 27th, just a...

    Ok, I've always hated these types of threads, but it's been a while since I've read up on computers/laptops so I have to swallow my pride and ask for some help I'm thinking about getting a ThinkPad R60 laptop once bonus/tax refund time comes around, and I'd like to hear some opinions. I'm...

    Motorola Razr owners, I have a question about the Bluetooth

    I recently bought the Logitech MX5000 wireless keyboard/mouse combo that has Bluetooth. I spent the better part of my morning trying to sync up my Razr with my computer, but to no avail. Anyways, whenever I browse My Bluetooth Places, the keyboard, mouse, and my Razr are found correctly...

    Major hissing with my T-Amp & Atoms

    I just got my T-Amp in today from PartsExpress, and when using my Millet as a preamp, this setup hums like a $5...well, something that costs $5 and hums like crazy I don't have a long enough mini > mini cable to use my PC as a source, so until then my troubleshooting is limited. My current...

    Having some troulbe using digital output with my 0404

    Nevermind, I realized foobar was set to 96 when it had to be set to 44.1

    Besides the T-Amp, any other cheap 2-channel amps?

    Sure, the T-Amps are great (for the price), but are there any competitors in the sub-$100 category? This will be used with my computer and Paradigm Atoms, and I'll probably use the Millett as a preamp. I guess my other option would be to get a T-Amp modded, but hey, a few more options can't hurt

    Small playlist problem with Foobar

    Ok, so I recently did a fresh reinstall of Win2K on my main HDD, while leaving my drive dedicated to music alone (of course). However, prior to the reinstallation, my music drive was designated as drive F:\, and now it's drive D:\, so you can probably see where the problem lies. The path my...

    HT Monitors for under $300

    Within the next few months, I'll finally be able to put together a 2.0 setup to use with my TV. I still haven't decided what will drive the speakers, but I'm toying with the ideas of either getting a decent Onkyo receiver from Amazon or getting an inexpensive integrated amp (NAD, Cambridge 640...

    Storm Digital, anything on the horizon?

    The original thread is huge, so I figured a new one could be in order to discuss any upcoming products, specifically the smaller model of the D02. Has anyone heard any news? I'm planning a source upgrade later this year, and that black D02 is looking very sweet...

    Any golfers on Head-Fi?

    I used to golf all the time in high school, and was pretty good at it. I used to shoot in the low 40's for 9 and around 90 for 18. For some reason I stopped playing during college, probably because I was running all the time, but now that I've graduated and will have tons of time on my hands...

    The Ikea Lack-Rack thread

    I just got back from Ikea and I purchased 3 of their Lack tables to make a nice budget audio stand. These have been mentioned many times before, but an official thread really doesn't exist, so I figured I'd make one to be used as a simple How-To guide and a reference for others seeking a low...
