    Upgradits: On My Dynamic Setup or Try Stats?

    Hi Everyone,   I don't have a lot of equipment--just enough to make a primary setup (in my signature). I have decent power cables and was going to buy a power conditioner (Acoustic Revive) but from reading around I became concerned with potential negative affects on the sound so I never...

    My New (All Black) Eddie Current ZDT

    After exactly 5 months from the day I ordered a ZDT from Craig (and at one point almost giving up on the order), the wooden crate arrived at my door.  There was almost a week delay by FedEx (they lost the original paperwork), but Craig worked hard to make sure they got everything a second time...

    RWA Black Lightning - Anyone use it on CDP, DAC, and other non-RWA?

    Can anyone share their experience using RWA Black Lightning power supplies on non-RWA equipment? Can I just hook my CDP and DAC to Black Lighting and never have to deal with expensive power cables again? I understand the Black Lightning is not inexpensive, but as a cable believer (that cables...

    Eddie Current ZDT - Anyone try it with speakers?

    It seems like I have been waiting forever for my ZDT. The website says "Shipping in March" so it can't be too far away. I know most here have probably bought the ZDT for headphone use, but has anyone tried driving loudspeakers with these? I bought this amp for my Grados, but have recently...

    HP-1000 Owners--Drivers Fall Out? Loose Hex Bolts? Help!

    Not too long ago I bought a pair of HP-2s. The first thing I did was slide the ear pads off to wash them. To my horror, both drivers slipped out as though they were never properly bolted in at all. I enquired with the previous owner and the reason given was: "The hex screws have a tendency to...

    One to Many? or Many to Many? (as related to interconnects and power cables--not databases)

    Originally I signed up here to look for one good rig to enjoy my music on, but I have quickly fallen to the dark side like many others. I am a bit of a collector and this is the setup I envision building over time: CDP + DAC + Amp/Headphone pairing #1 Amp/Headphone pairing #2...

    Should the Zana Deux/ZDT be on my shortlist for HP-1000 (I still need help on an amp).

    My apologies if you are already familiar with some of my posts tailored to help me find an amp to make my HP2 really shine. I have a very small shortlist of possible amps I can aim for--most are nearly unobtainable, but I haven't decided which one I will patiently pursue. Can anyone tell me...

    I want to love my HP-1000 (HP2s) but...

    When I got the HP2 I plugged them directly into the 1/8" of a Denon mini system CD Reciever (UD-M30). The two pronged power cable was plugged into the wall. I was in love with what I heard. These cans made Viktoria Mullova playing the Bach Partitas and Sonatas for solo violin sound 10 times...

    Power cord, strip, distributor, conditioner, surge protector...what is/does what?

    I am an audio noob and just starting to put together a headphone setup. I have read and received various recommendations on what to get and not to get in terms of power. The most common and somewhat conflicting/confusing recommendations I get are: 1) If you have a good power cord, you don't...

    Static crackling in headphones (HP-2) only when moving around

    I just put together a headphone setup and everything sounds fine when I plug in my Grado 325. When I switched to my HP-2, things sound fine unless I either get up from my chair and take a couple of steps, or when I roll my office chair a few feet--the headphones start to have static crack...

    Audio Analogue or Bel Canto CDP?

    I've been looking for a CDP and basically narrowed it down to two makes based on some reading (and personal aesthetics). There isn't anywhere near me where I can go do a listening test but they are also not the most common units out there. There have been a few reviews but I thought I would try...

    Headphone Amp for Grado HP-2

    I am new to this forum and audiophile stuff--mostly because I have been more interested in headphones and paid less with other stereo system stuff. Portability is very important to me so I have never looked into high end home audio equipment, but to get a decent listening setup I have been...
