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...- Firam

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...- Firam

Question about FLAC Files
Quote: To be anal: ALAC and FLAC are both lossless and compressed. WAV would be an example of an uncompressed and lossless file format. Even though notice no difference between LAME VBR 256kbs and FLAC, I still get FLAC when possible. Makes me feel better.- Firam

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...- Firam

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.- Firam

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.- Firam

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- Firam
