Hi all,   been away from head-fi these last few months due to move to japan and would really appreciate some advice..   after slowly settling into life in japan and work (and buying an apartment), I finally had the chance to dive into the speaker world, which I have wanted for so long...

just found this on the net.. recently been getting slight ringing, tinnitus in my ears, though it may be due to diving rather than loud musis levels... I think this will be money well spent for everyone here who worries about protecting their ears.     and here is the website ...

I just ordered the apricorn 240gb upgrade kit and should arrive sometime next week.  Does the current version of RB (3.7.1) now support 240gb or do I need to install a different version?? I've searched the Rockbox site but cant find any information whether to install current version or some...

What happened to the MOT forum?  Does anyone know why the forum was shut down?      

I'm not sure if this problem is from my side (computer/browser) or from head-fi site,  but whenever I browse the for sale posts and click back on my browser I always end up getting back to the first page... to demonstrate lets say I am checking the sale items on the third page and I see a post...

well ladies and gents, looks like I just snagged a brand new ipod video (80GB)   main reason for buying are the obvious advantages of SQ, RB, HDD upgrade, battery etc. However, most important for me is the possibility to adjust the LOD volume which I have read can be done through RB.  I...

well looks like wikileaks is under attack and can't access atm..   i know political debate is prohibited here on head-fi but it would be nice to get an idea of how political we are as a group.. so without going in to detail or political debate, did anyone access wikileaks and read some of...

Like many others here on head-fi I've come to a point where I need more hard drive space for my DAP! And if you require anything above 120GB, it seems Ipod is still king when it comes to high capacity DAPs - at least that is relatively easy to find for purchase...   If one decides to go...

I have to say, this documentary is probably the greatest follow up on the cosmos series by Carl Sagan produced in the 80's (or 70's?).. it explains such complex theories in such simple lay mans terms... any others follow the series here? say yay if you do!   and for those who haven't...

when I try to do a search it gives me an error (see attached pic). never had this problem before so it might be a glitch and will work as usual later on, but just wanted to give you guys heads up. another odd thing is with the error message that is coming up, it seems on that screen as not...

Hey all,   what will cause a very sharp, loud noise when inserting headphone jack in an amp? whenever I try to insert my headphone jack it gives a loud crackling noise before fully inserted.    It's starting to worry me that I may damage the headphones or iems.. I've tried to get around...

Hey Guys,   What are some options for small-smallish (portable/transportable) DACs out there? After selling my D10, now in search for a DAC and just trying to get some recommendations. I would like a decent DAC that I can use as transportable and be able to hook it up to decent desktop...

As much as it annoys me to see head-fi featured reviews shoved in my face on the homepage, how does the selection of 'featured reviews' work? So far I only see Senn HD800 for the last few days. yet there are other headphone reviews on the gear list. So what criteria is used in choosing which...

in the old platform, when you clicked on the photos (like the one below) you had the option of clicking next or previous option without exiting the photo. now when I click on the first photo, if I want to check the second one i have to close the first and then click on the second.  Its not a...

Hey all, Just received my TTVJ Portable Hybrid! put about 2 hours on it so far and the sound is quite good but will hold judgement until it has more hours on it. have a few questions to owners or those who had tried/listened to this amp before. first, i have some low level channel...

Hey All, well, I'm doing my first sale on head-fi..yay! I don't want to make this post an advertisement so won't say what it is but since this being my first time, is there anything I should know?? just want to make sure the process will go smoothly for me and the person who is buying.Is...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE ADDICTED TO HEAD-FI.... -When you have set it as your homepage as it's too damn easier and faster... -When you are still checking sales forum knowing you only have $20 dollars in your bank account.. -When you are seriously contemplating whether using Head-fi as your...

Hi all, searched head-fi for some TTVJ slim reviews and impressions but so far no luck apart from one thread. Not many people tried it yet? Any impressions or comments from owners will be greatly appreciated. Currently have the Ibasso D10 for my portable listening and might consider...

Hi All, Just got back from Yap island in the Pacific, diving for 5 days with manta rays and sharks! had a blast! great hotel, good food and excellent diving..what else can one ask for on a diving trip! For my next dive in 2010 I will either head back to Palau (dove last year there) or...

Recently I've been really getting into Jazz, and so far really enjoying the music and the sound quality of the few albums I have. sort of disappointed at myself for not diving into jazz earlier and now slowly trying to build a good jazz collection. After listening to John coltrane's blue...

Blue-Spec CD? what do you guys think? possible real improvement or just another marketing gimmick from sony? anyone tried it out yet? Blu-spec CD is not a new audio format says Sony, it's just CD made to sound much better | Home Cinema Choice

So I'm off to Japan in about a month to visit friends and family ( in-laws) for about 2 weeks. Of course I don't need to point out that i will be spending a lot of time shopping and checking out headphone-audio stuff while i'm there. However, I really would like to get some ideas on...
