help with DIY College budget(CHEAP) desktop headphone amp
could you provide some insight on how I would do that? I've never built an amp before, so this is still a bit foreign to me and I'm still learning.- Ptruslow

help with DIY College budget(CHEAP) desktop headphone amp
why: I like bass. deep, low bass. I listen to most of my music as is, but from time to time I like to have bass that vibrates my ears. none of my outputs quite do it. my Fiio E6 is driven into clipping when I try doing this, which sounds kinda crappy. the needs: 200+mw into 32 ohms. this...- Ptruslow

i don't know if this is being an audiophile, but you know you are a head-fier when you correct people who mix up headphones and earphones, or ear buds and IEM's/canalphones.- Ptruslow

searching for a bluetooth reciever
i am buying a nexus 7, which i hear has pretty bad sound quality. i understand that bluetooth audio would bypass the built in DAC. i am searching for a bluetooth reciever that is battery powered. it does not need to have an amplifier, as i can easily hook up my fiio e6 to amplify, all i want is...- Ptruslow

you know you are an audiophile when you stuff your pillows with acoustastuff to see if it has better sonic properties. you cringe at the thought of people buying these crappy "soundlogic dynabass" headphones, which are absolutely terrible.- Ptruslow

Reply to review by 'ptruslow' on item 'V-MODA Crossfade M-100'

Review by 'Ptruslow' on item 'Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic'
take what i have to say with a grain of salt. i do not own them, but i merely auditioned them at school. i was rather skeptical about them at first, but they are not bad. i see their sound sig as something like the monoprice 8320. they have a decent of bass, without being a fart cannon...- Ptruslow

Will a M/F Extension Cable effect the sound quality on my Sennheiser HD25 II/Xonar DG?
i would say no. i use the ath-m50 and ath-ad700 with the PCIe version of that card, the xonar dgx, and they both have 10 foot cables, but when i installed the shorter cable on my m50 (removable cable mod) the sq had no considerable change. as long as the cable doesn't go too near the power...
