Hi everyone, I do most of my listening at work and have the following setup ready to receive a digital signal: iPod Classic 120 [...missing link...Pure i-20...] AMB Gamma2 Full++ DAC o2 Amp Having the remote that comes with the Pure i-20 would be a nice bonus (assuming it works well), I'm...

Hi guys, As the title states, I need recommendations for a closed pair of circum-aural or super-aural headphones. My budget is $500, in the $200-$300 range if possible. Used is a possibility. To all IEM experts, I'm looking to nearly match the sound of my HiFiMAN RE-262s as I can listen to...

Hello Head-Fiers,   Thought some of you might be interested in some streaming video (already in progress).  Here is the link:   http://www.dso.org/videoReg.aspx?target=live -- just put in your info and click submit!     Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony Classical     Concert...

Hi! Could someone link me to a shop that sells the 90deg mini XLR (?) connector used for balanced Ray Samuels Audio amps? I can't find it on any of the major parts distributors' websites (Digi-Key, Newark, Mouser, Allied Elec, etc). I HAVE seen it on audio-specific sites so I know it's out...

Hi,    As the title implies, I'm wondering if I can use my AMB Gamma2 DAC at work.  The problem being that I might not be able to install certain software.  Is there a program that can relay the digital data from my iPod, through my work PC, to a DAC?  Or do I have to plug in an external...

Hello Head-Fi'ers, I purchased an ASUS G51Jx-X5 gaming laptop a few months ago and have had no problem with the various sound inputs and outputs until now.  Every now and then I use a USB DAC to feed my speakers and sometimes headphones.  Ever since I changed the default device to the DAC...

EDIT:     Quote:     Just posting to gauge interest.   I wouldn't mind if it's just 3 of us; it's always fun to audition new equipment!    Date and location are TBD.   I'm thinking it should be held at the house of whoever has the most immobile gear in the Metro-Detroit...

Hello everyone,   I've been looking for a pair of higher end headphones that are detailed and neutral.  The RE0 was a logical choice.  When I realized the RE-ZERO was available, it got me interested in trying a balanced setup.  While I do want to keep its balanced capability in tact, I also...

Hello fellow head-fiers,   I've thought a lot about it recently and I don't see myself going too much further into portable audio.  Currently I have the following:   120G 6G iPod --> Mini3 --> DIY Canare Int. --> Nuforce NE-7Ms   Before my last semester of school this fall I will be...

Hello everyone,   This may be a long-shot, but it would definitely help me out:  I went to Can Jam 2010 which was awesome.  I went hoping to narrow down the number of full-size headphone possibilities on my list and did!  Amazing.  Now my finalists are the HD 600 and the K702.  I left...

Greetings head-fiers! I've recently assembled a Mini3 amp (gain 2) to use with the LOD of my 6G ipod. I've built one canare interconnect so far and will probably make a silver one this weekend. The issue I'm running into is that at low listening volumes the right channel is slightly louder...

Hi, After about 8 months of use, the strain releif on my NuForce NE-7Ms broke so the cable is taking all of the abuse. I've decided to reterminate them and I've hit a small snag. I carefully stripped the outer insulation to reveal 4 wires (28awg or something). It appears that each of the 4...

Hello, I would like to get into building my own amp(s) to use with my 6G ipod classic and Nuforce NE-7M IEMs. Now, I won't be straying from IEMs any time soon, so I could care less about gain. I would, however like to get a clearer sound as it seems a bit muffled to me as is. The headphones...

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes... I'm currently living in a dormitory on a college campus and changed rooms recently because my roommate was a slob. I noticed when I came back from spring break that with music muted or playing, even with nothing playing...

Hi, I got the NE-7Ms recently and they're sounding great, but the tips just don't fit my ears at all. The mediums are too small and the larges are a bit too big (kind of uncomfortable). The shape of them is either too cone-shaped or the silicon is too thick to get a decent seal. I have a...

This is probably in the wrong place, heck, it might not be allowed? Anyways, I'm quite interested in getting a portable amp for my 6G ipod > NE-7Ms. Now, as a student my spending money is very limited so I'd like to get the right amp the first time. I'm wondering if there's anyone in my area...

Hi, Forgive me for not knowing much (anything) about amps and what not, but I have a quick question: If I don't care about boosting volume much if at all, is there a plug in unit I could adjust the EQ on? I only ask this because the ipod classic I have has no such capability. Does this...

Hi, I guess I should start out by saying that I need new buds out of necessity as my current ones ar falling apart. I'm looking for something under 100, preferably under 50 if something has high bang-for-the-buck, you know.. Well, I'll tell you what I've owned. I started with an refurb'ed...
