Happy birthday and thanks for your wonderful service! From your happy former customer, -Mike

After owning Grado cans for quite sometime, I've tried many different carrying case options including infamous pizza box, plastic organizer from Office Depot and so on. Finally, I got one possible approach (I call it high tech approach) using Zero Halliburton Elite 4" brief case. The...

Background: Old Max I believe Year 2004 is a glorious year to be Headfiers. Thanks to new and improve versions of headphone amps released this year, including portables and several huge discounts on several solid-state amps, owning a descent headphone amp more affordable than ever. Even for...

I just received a pair of baby Orpheus and I have been listening it for past couple of days. Although it resembles HD-650 physically (actually it should be other way around ), it sounds nothing like I originally expected. It breathes the sound to my ears instead of forcing it like dynamic...

OK, I just sold my ASL OTL 32 to a fellow headfier so I can upgrade my 2ndary amp system. I'm sort of torn between RKV MKII w/ Impedanzer and Single Power PPX3/MPX3. Overall, I liked how OTL 32 sounded with high impedance cans (Sennheiser HD6x0), but I want improved sound. Ability to use lower...

I'm curious if using adaptor cable on Ety ER4p makes it exactly same as ER4s? I mean would sounds from both setups idential assuming a descent amp is used? I went through most of threads, but couldn't find a definite answer. FYI, I recently bought and tried Shure E3c mainly out of curiousity...

Review: Battle of Solid-State Amps: Go-Vibe, META42, Corda HA-1, HA-1 MKII, Perreaux SHX1, Gilmore V1, and Headroom Max w/ Stepped Attenuator. Preface and Disclaimer There have been many excellent reviews and impressions of various amps in this forum. However when I try to buy a new product...

Background: Although I have been reading head-fi forums since 2002, I only started to post to this site several months ago. I guess this is my first ever review. I have been thinking for quite sometime how should I write this review up so that it would be most beneficial to head-fi community...

Currently I have an opportunity to buy a rare Japanese domestic market Sony CD player for a reasonable price. Only problem is that the power requirement of Japanese CDP is different from USA: 100V - 50Hz vs. 110V - 60Hz. Will I need some sort of power converter or will I be able to get away...

Now that the search is down for another day or two, can someone suggest me a good way to keep the headphone cords/cables neat and organized? I've used quick-ties and plastic tubes for RCAs/power cables for permanent solution, but for my headphone cables are bit tricky. I use my headphones...

I saw this ebay listing. May be I'm missing something here, but I wasn't aware Senn HD650 comes with wooden carrying box? At least mine didn't.

On Ebay, I saw lots of special edition CDs selling out of USA for dirt cheap price like 0.99 to 9.99, but shipping was a bit high (6-8 bucks). For example, some Norah Jones' CDs were containing both 1st and 2nd album plus few live tracks. Not to mention Sarah Mclachlan CD has multiple CDs in a...
