Thanks to everyone who came, and especially to Eric for bringing so many great headphones and DIY amps.

This latest version of the CDP came out this past December, and it is advertised as a complete redesign of past versions. It is interesting in that it has a headphone jack, built in DAC and iPod doc, meaning that it could be a very good desktop unit for work. Has anyone tried this yet. I have...

Anyone tried these yet? And if so, what do you think? AmazonBasics Cables and Cords

I love my HP-1s. Far and away the best purchase I have made in headphones, IMO. Perfectly neutral, and a killer combination with my EHHA amp and Parasound D/AC 1100 HD. My only problem with them is that I have had a couple of ear surgeries and, as a result, on-ear headphone pads can be painful...

Can anyone recommend, based on their personal experience, a good vendor/maker for a professionally-built twisted pear Buffalo DAC?

Maybe you've had the same experience as me; trolling around Audiogon for that perfect CDP or DAC to at least temporarily complete your system, and "Holy shat! . . . there it is!" You're so excited, because you've just found the perfect component to complement your system, and the price is...

Any folks in the SLC-area interested in a meet?

I'm looking for a usb to spdif converter. I know of the Bel Canto offering, but the price is too much for me. Has anyone tried the following product? SameDayMusic.com: Behringer UCA202 USB Audio Interface

Thought that I would pass on this dandy of a story. A couple weeks ago the RCA plugs on the back of my RA-1 amp pulled out of the housing. For most folks this would be an easy fix, but it's not for me. I have some health issues that cause my hands to shake, and soldering is one of those things I...

For those who have significant time with both the HP1 and HP2: (1) What are the SQ differences between the two? (2) Do they sound the same? (3) What types of music do each perform best with? (4) Why are there so many reviews of the HP2, and so few reviews of the HP1?

What do you guys think? How'd this buyer do? Joseph Grado HP 1000 Signature Headphones HP-1 - eBay (item 220492803668 end time Oct-17-09 17:00:11 PDT)

Hi all: I foolishly ripped all my CDs in a lossy format, and have decided to buy a CD player instead of re-ripping everything to FLAC. Can you recommend something for under $1000?

Which is better as a source to my Headroom Balanced Desktop Amp? My primary headphones are balanced HD650, my source is a MacBook and I listen primarily to classical.

Hi all, I'm new to head-fi, but have already been persuaded to open up the old wallet. My recent acquisitions include the balanced desktop amp/dac from headroom, Senn HD650 with Balanced Silver Dragon from Drew at Moon Audio, a pair of Shure SE530 and a Grado RA1 amp purchased from the Bay. I...
