Satellite & Kern TP1 v Beyer
Has anything changed besides the storage box? Is one preferable to the other? They were my dream can back in the day and I may actually be able to afford a pair now. (As long as I buy used! Lol)- BigCabDaddy

Does PC make a difference for ripping?
I inherited an older, probably cheap to start with, Celeron base PC. It does have a DVD player however. Does the PC used for ripping CDs make any difference?- BigCabDaddy

AKG K553 good successor to ATH ESW9?
Hi all. Been a long time since I've been active here or actively involved in the hobby. I find myself in pretty immediate need for an over ear alternative to my go to travel pair of ATH ESW9. I'm eyeing the Massdrop (in itself a new concept to me) AKG K553? My at home pair are ATH AD900x so that...- BigCabDaddy

What should I be looking for?
Thanks for the input. What about the Brainwavz HM5? I just ran across them. They seem to have glowing reviews and would be MUCH cheaper.- BigCabDaddy

What should I be looking for?
First of all, let me start with an apology before things get snarky. Though I love this forum, I've become inactive because I simply don't have pockets deep enough to participate at the "hi-fi" level I'd like. I'm decidedly relegated to "mid-fi" by forum standards and even that's a stretch...- BigCabDaddy

Is HeadAmp still in business?
Thanks. That's why I waited a couple weeks. I realize they are a small company, but still. I'll try again and if no answer, I'll move on -- to a different companiy's product obviously.- BigCabDaddy

Is HeadAmp still in business?
The reason I ask is I've been trying to get ahold of them for a couple weeks now and I'm having no luck getting them to return my phone calls or emails. All I'm wanting is a replacement power supply/charger for my Pico amp/DAC. I managed to lose the one that came with it. Can anyone with more...- BigCabDaddy

Older Lexicon Omega Drivers?
I know this is a reach, but after a morning of trying, I give up. I had my Lexicon Omega running great through JRiver running a wasapi driver. Then my hard drive crashed and when the laptop came back from Asus came back, I of course had to set everything up again. Well the new driver (2.7) has...- BigCabDaddy

MOG alternative
So awhile back I came to all of you for a high quality streaming service and you all put me onto Mog. It's been a solid suggestion. I'm not overly thrilled with the interface and occasionally I do get into crappy enough wifi that the streams cut in and out, but that's the cost for higher quality...- BigCabDaddy

Zune LOD
What I see is the charging/syncing cable and I have one of those coming. What I meant was one that bypasses preamp and/or dac. Are you seeing those? What are you searching for?- BigCabDaddy

Zune LOD
Anyone know if this Zune LOD is still available? Is it a worthwhile improvement? I just discovered I still have my Zune 120 which I thought was long gone.- BigCabDaddy

[REVIEW/COMPARISON] ATH-AD900X vs ATH-AD1000X vs MDR-MA900 - It's STILL over 900!!!!
Quote: Q and K are the same right? If so, I found the treble of the K701 "grainy" and "unrefined" compared to the AD900X in a recent meetup.- BigCabDaddy

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Quote: I think that would be over playing your hand. It might alert them that they have something valuable and they might start looking for even more. Better to slow play your hand I'm thinking. ;)- BigCabDaddy
