I just received my comply tips for the triple.fi, and much to my dismay, they are severely muddying up the sound. Bass has definitely improved, as with sound isolation, but the treble has just been severely robbed of its sparkle. I feel that it may be because the comply tip itself extends about...

How about considering an Apple Airport Express? That way you can wirelessly send USB --> SPDIF, and it should be bit perfect.

How much do adapters really have an effect on sound quality? The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to decide the best way to get 1/4" TS to RCA for my system. I was leaning towards just getting a pair of gold plated Dayton 1/4" TS to RCA female adapters and connecting them to a Blue Jeans...

Currently, my speaker rig is as follows: iTunes > TBAAM (optical) > presonus CS > sophia EL-34 > Von VR-1's. I've always been wary about using the TBAAM in this setup, as it seems like it might be a bottleneck (it isn't bit perfect, and automatically resamples to 48 kHz). Thus, I've been...

For the time being, I decided to run to radioshack and get a pair of these: RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Connectors & connectivity: A/V connectors & adapters: Phono Plug to 1/4" Stereo Phone Jack Adapter They're plugged in now, but there's definitely something wrong. The...

So to get things straight, I don't necessarily need 2 TRS to RCA cables...but 2 TS to RCA cables will do, since the former is just a stereo version which I don't need, since the presonus outputs to both an individual L and R. Am I right?

Hey guys, I recently acquired a presonus central station for my home speaker setup. I bought it with the intention of using it as a dedicated DAC, with a headamp for minor use. All this time, I assumed that there would be a pair of RCA outputs for me to connect to my integrated amp. Turns out...

Hey guys, I just got a Zune 80gb. My question is, do I need to get one of those invisible screen protectors for the zune, like I did for my easily scratchable ipod screen, or is the zune screen really scratch resistant? I mean really really scratch resistant!

Update: So after a month more of this crackling going on, I decided to clean off the excess dust on the amp (there was a lot) and reconnect the tubes to see if perhaps a connection was lose. Voila, the crackling was gone. A few days later, however, the right channel decreased in volume to...

Hey guys, I've been meaning to replace my tried and true Entech 203.2 for quite a while now with something a bit better. I really feel like it's the bottleneck in my speaker setup right now (VS VR-1's driven by a modded Sophia EL-34 amp). Thus, I've been eyeing the VDA-2 and the Presonus CS as...

Currently I've got a pair of Von VR-1's driven by a Sophia EL-34 tube amp. This is my first experience with tubes. I've been running this setup for about a month now and have been immensely enjoying it. Lately, however, I've been noticing that during warmup when no music is playing, I can hear a...
