Okay, I am just starting out with ipods. I have just got the ipod touch. I have a Macbook and have ripped all of my cds into using Apple Lossless format. I have a USB Preamp/DAC (Redwine Audio Isabella) for my main audio system. Can I use Lossless format to send the songs from my MacBook to the...

I have a problem with my R10s. One of the channels comes in and out, I think it could be a problem with the cable. Does anyone know anyone that does headphone repairs? I do not feel comfortable opening it up and screwing around with it, I would rather pay someone that knows what they are doing...

The Bel Canto CD-1. Should be here in a couple of days. My friend just got the Rega Saturn on Friday and is burning it in. His Saturn was hooked up to his speaker system and it sounded kind of thin out of the box. Can't wait to compare the two players after each has a few hours on them.

I bought my two sons, one is 9 and the other is 7, each a Senn PX 100. I did not want them trashing their ears with the crappy phones that come with Ipods and laptops ect... Now I'm wondering if I should have bought the 81DJ from AKG instead because it is a closed phone and would be better for...

Hey guys. I have been listening to my HD 600 for the first time in a long time the last few weeks. I bought it back in 2002 but have only put on the Clou Blue cable. What are the current best options for a replacement cable for these phones. Thanks

I am going to be in Chicago this weekend for a family reunion. I will be staying Holiday Inn City Center. Now that I have a new table and cart, I need to stock up on some vinyl. Any suggestions to records stores in the area? Thanks

I had a complication with my order, the postal service lost the package with the payment. Even though he does not have his payment and does not want me to send a new payment, he is doing me a big favor and sending me the pair of interconnects I ordered. I am going to pay him anyway, but the...

Okay, what is the deal with vinyl? It has been years since I have actually heard a vinyl setup. Even though I have visited a dozen or audio shops in the last couple of years, I have never listened to any vinyl setups. I always thought vinyl would be a pain in the ass so I never really looked...

Anyone compare the Audio Technica AD 2000 to the Sony SA 5000? Thanks

Could this be the Universal Player we have been waiting for? The December Stereophile did a review, but I really did not get a good idea from the review at how good the cd playback is. They did not mention how it would stack up against cd players in its price range. I picked up the phone and...

Is there a search fucntion on this site anymore? Thanks

So now that it has been out for awhile, what are headfiers impressions of this unit as a preamp? Is it truely worldclass? Can it really compete with other preamps that cost quite a bit more? I am looking for a new preamp and amp for my main stereo system. The Stealth is my list. I am also...

Just ordered the Total Airhead. I hope it works okay with the Ety 4s. I need it for traveling. I have been less than impressed with the origianl Porta Corda/Ety Combo I currently have. For the record, it's not because of the Ety's, its the amp. The Ety's sound great with the home based rigs I have

First off, I think the sound I get with the HR 2s with the R 10s is awsome. However, I have a problem. The HR 2 will not let me listen to the R 10s at low volumes. With the starting point at 6 oclock, turned up past 7 is too loud when I want to have lower volume listening sessions. When I try to...

Anyone ever try the XP-7 with the HD 600s? Are they a good match? I want to set my brother up with a headphone system and I thought this amp would be a good choice for him for both home use and traveling. Plus I would borrow it when I travel.

I just got my Sony R 10s back from Tuberoller. While they were gone, I did some extensive listening to the Ety 4s, HD 600s, Audio Technica A 1000 and a little with the Grado SR 225. I really enjoyed each headphone, I really did, but putting the R 10s back on put me back audio heaven. In...

For some reason one side of my Ety 4s is louder than the other side. Is this normal? I wonder if I damaged the driver by dipping it in water to moisten them.

I can't believe how much modding can improve the sound of audio components. I did not think the two components I had modded sounded bad, but after getting them modded, the improvement is very noticeable, especially after letting them burnin. I know a lot of you guys own the Philips 963 SA. I...

Just got the Etymotic ER 4S headphones a few hours ago. They sound great out of the box. Definately a different sound or presentation than the other phones I own or have heard, but they have a very enjoyable sound none the less. In my opinion, the Ety 4s is an underrated headphone. Does the...

I just odered the Etymotic ER 4s from Headroom. I needed a traveling headphone. Well, I already have the Sony MDR 7506, which I like, but I just got the itch to try something else. I hope it is a lot better, than I will be really happy. As for the Sony, if the Ety's are to my likeing, I'll give...

My brother has a Senn PX 200 headphone. He is using it with a PCDP. Anyone have any amp recommendations for this headphone? Thanks in advance.

I need a new source for my main Audio/Video system. Right now I have the NAD 541i for a cd player and a Pioneer DVD player. I want a source that can at least do SACD, DVD, and redbook cd. By doing this, I can save room and have extra room on my rack for a power conditioner, or a turntable or...

Has anyone put a power plant into thier system and really noticed a difference? I really want to get most out of the system I am putting together, but I don't want to spend money on something that does not make much of an audible difference. It seems like good power plants are expensive. Are...

Most of us buy our fair share of audio equipment. If you are like me, you have a ton of packaging hanging around. You know, big boxes, bags, packing material, ect... Heck, I even have boxes that cables came in. I keep mine in the storage room in the basement, but space is getting tight and my...

I have spent the last few months auditioning new speakers for my main stereo system. I got a chance to listen to 20 different speakers in my price range, and some way above my price range. When all was said and done, I ended up buying the Dali Euphonia MS 4. Just on friday I did an A/B the...
