    Oh Schiit, it's the end of the world! Announcing Ragnarok.

    How does the headphone amplifier in this compare to the Mjolir? Is it a real balanced amp from input to output?

    Playstation 3 optical out is it worth it

    I have a Playstation 3, and an E09k desktop amp connected to HD650s. Is it worth it getting a converter box to convert the optical out into a $100 1 foot long analog RCA out into my E09K amp? I also have a Fiio E18 if that helps at all.

    Brand new sennheiser HD 650's and brand new Fiio EO9k W/Fiio e17. Burn in questions and possible seller fraud.

    The HD 650's weren't shrink wrapped, is it possible the seller just took used headphones and repackaged and sold them as new? The headphones weren't smelly or anything. I ended up paying $479.68 for a seller that had 2,000+ feedback. The outside of the silver box had a few dents in it.   So...

    Quality difference on the material and stability of the surface that monitors are placed on, also help with volume control.

    You have two 10" cubes made out of pure diamond that you use to place your speakers at ear level. You also have an old 30 lb unstable wobbly wooden desk. There are 2 cardboard ups boxes on the desk to place the speakers at ear level. Will there be a difference in sound quality between the two...

    I read that they can pickup interference from AC power cords but will crossing the speaker cables over each other affect sound quality at all?
