    St. Louis Mini-Meet (March 9th)

    I guess I better solidify my presence. I'll bring anything I have (see my profile), but I don't want to bring stuff that no one is interested in, because it is more to carry and keep track of.   For headphones: HD650 with RAL cable.   For amp: Headfive, unless you plead with me to lug my...

    St. Louis Mini-Meet (March 9th)

    I might be interested in getting in on this too.   I'm across the river in Fairview Heights, but I'll go anywhere.

    2012 Head-Fi Holiday Gift Exchange

    I'm in.   Edit: I guess I can do anywhere since I just have to use Amazon in the respective country.

    Playstation 3 to Emu0404 USB to Receiver - will it work?

    Hard to say what is wrong. Make sure the PS3 is set to output via optical and the Emu is set to input via optical,

    Overheating Audio-gd Digital Interface

    I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has encountered this problem.   While trying to figure out why my DI only worked in the mornings for 15 minutes, I came to the conclusion that the clock is thrown out of spec based on the heat of the room. This isn't a ground breaking...

    Question about FLAC Files

    Just thought I would share a great little program with you guys

    I've been using it for about a month. I think it is great, so much better on the eyes.   The key though is matching it to the room lighting. I have a rock lamp that puts out a very orange light. Since everything around the monitor is orange, it is very natural. In fact I can't even tell it...

    Chemistry Major, Where to look for jobs?

    My best advice is to find an internship. Since the job market is so tight, employers aren't always willing to full on hire the untested.

    What got you into Audiophilia?

    I think discussions on the P word could derail this topic but I agree that it does help Audiophilia.

    What got you into Audiophilia?

    I think a very common entry into the headphone part of Audiophilia (in contrast to the speaker kind.) is through the portable headphones. I came because I wanted headphones that blocked out external noise with my mp3 player. Then was hooked.

    I may have cured upgradeitus

    I have had two periods of remission, both lasting 2 years, in which I was satisfied with my setup. However both times it was broken by a friend asking for recommendation on headphones to buy. It is cyclical and I hope to go back into remission soon.

    How do I connect a headphone amp to my AV-receiver?

    This would work, but probably not cost effective. http://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%201x1%20Audio%20Converter.html
