Headphile BlackSilver HD650 cable arrived...
Compared to the Silver Dragon its got a more diffused sound with a more open, harmonicly rich high end. It is smoother and does not irritate my tinnitus as much. It is still very detailed. The connectors feel more solid because they are the large 650 connectors not the smaller 600 kind like on...- Asterix

Inexpensive speaker stands that just tilt...
I'm looking for a basic pair of inexpensive speaker stands that maybe raise the speakers an inch or 2 off the ground (or not) and tilt them at an angle. I'm not sure where I can order these. I used own a pair that was made of metal rods with rubber covering it where the speakers sat. Any ideas...- Asterix

40's Jazz Lovers, check this out...
I just got this 4 cd set off amazon.com, it's called "Don Byas - complete american small group recordings" containing tons of classic Don Byas. There is also some Slam Stewart on here, which is equally brilliant. I am still only listening to the first disc right now, and I'm wondering if I found... -

Re: Are you jealous...
I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my "Are you jealous" post... it was meant entirely as a joke. 1. We all hear differently 2. "high-fidelity" is completely relative 3. It doesn't really matter anyway! If it sounds good to you then that's really all that matters. I remember when my computer...- Asterix

Is my tinnitus permanent?
I have had ringing for a week or two that is like a tuning fork in my right ear and it rings in response to sounds. I have never had this kind of intermittent tinnitus before, and I'm wondering if it might be permanent. Anybody have any comments? Thanks.- Asterix

What is the diff between a guitar and audio amp?

Is tube distortion good or bad?
I'm listening to my system now pretty loud and the amp is obviously clipping but it still sounds good, although pretty full of distortion, am I crazy that I enjoy this sound? The bass especially sounds like 'crap' - it's farting pretty bad - all I can say is 'ghetto.' What do you think?- Asterix

Is the 650's bass bloated?
I am enjoying my HD650's/Silver Dragon with my Luxman amp and 1212M as source, and while it's certainly a nice sound, the bass seems a little loose. I can live with it but I just thought I'd say something since I think it has been brought up before.- Asterix
