You know you're an audiophile when...
...when you hear a song with guitar in it (or any instrument you play) and add it to the list of "learn to play', but don't have the time because you're too busy listening to music instead of playing it.- onlyjoekin

Guitar-fi anyone?
Some nice gear here, but thought I'd just post something I saw earlier today on MusicRadar- Audio Technica and Vox have worked together to produce the 'AmPhone', which is basically an AmPlug in headphones by the sound of it. They haven't come out yet, but you can read a short piece on them here...- onlyjoekin

Guitar-fi anyone?
I am a fairly new guitar player, and have a Gibson SG special faded, which I love :D and play it through a Vox VT20+ or Vox AC30 (Amplug, unfortunately not the real thing!) I have only two pedals, which I don't use much to be honest be they're a lot of fun when I do. Quote: Nice...- onlyjoekin

portable amp and headphones for electric guitar
Hi, I have a little Vox headphone amp which plugs straight into the guitar socket (no cables need) and then I plug headphones into that. It has power on/off, gain, tone, and volume controls as well as an aux in so it's versatile enough for most things. Here's the link-...- onlyjoekin

Amp overkill? (for m50 headphones)
Thanks for the info. Why would I hate you for that? I had a quick look around at the arrow, seems that there is a long waiting list! Looks like a contender for when choosing a portable amp in the future, so thanks for introducing me to it!- onlyjoekin

Amp overkill? (for m50 headphones)
Thanks everyone, I think I may just hold fire for now, and start saving for better cans and an amp. If I change my mind I will probably get the PA2V2 now actually, as much for the reason that I'd rather my money went to a guy who takes pride and fun in his work then a faceless company in...- onlyjoekin

STUPID QUESTION BUT What does a DAC do???
Ah, thank you for this. I'm in danger of hijacking this thread, but what does the 'bit integer' mean? 'bits' are data aren't they, so does it mean how long the gap is between each bit sent? If you don't ask, you don't learn! Joe- onlyjoekin

Amp overkill? (for m50 headphones)
Hello, Here's the problem- I like my Audio Technica ATH M-50s but lately I've been wanting a 'little more' out of the sq and general grunt, as I've found I've been turning up the volume a lot recently just to get some more power behind the sound. I have been looking at amps which may...- onlyjoekin

STUPID QUESTION BUT What does a DAC do???
I know what a DAC does, but I don't understand this- People connect DACs after computers in their chain, but surely the signal is already in analogue from the built-in DAC? Does this mean stand alone DACs just improve the analogue signal or does the computer somehow cleverly detect it's there...- onlyjoekin
