I have stumbled on an interesting interview of Kusunoki San, who is accredited for bringing the NOS dac into the light.  I find this a very interesting read.  He is, in fact, an engine designer, which I think is fantastic as he is more able to draw upon design philosophies from different...

I just ordered one of these 60 bucks from ebay delivered.    I figured the design principles were not far removed from the Vdac principle of minimalism.  I'm going to carry a shootout with my Dacmagic and report back on how it fares.  For 60 bucks, there isn't much to lose.  My way to test...

Hi guys,   I just visited the HDtracks website...sampled some of their glorious female vocal that are well recorded (I was gobsmacked with Ana Caram, Blue Bossa) - Bought the album via Paypal - setup the download manager, but it doesn't download.  Then I stumble about something with HDtracks...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,   Today has been an especially good day for me, and what better way to cap the day by sharing with you fine folks my experience of having auditioned a pair of Audeze LCD-2's for 12 hours.  These are mine, purchased off a fellow head-fi'er, so kind as to be...

UPDATED 22/10/11   As many of us D7000 users will notice that the mids in this can sounds somewhat "recessed" and the bass at times can be overpowering.  I have always suspected that the bass bloat and midrange recession was one and the same - I tried to EQ the bass down or the mid up - it...

Anybody tried this little unit yet.  It looks promising on paper - power is now lifted away from the USB line.   http://www.wickeddigital.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=joomlaplates.tpl&product_id=735&category_id=70&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53

Any suggestions - value added of course.

I was wondering if someone can help me post links in a thread?  I would like to be able to do this but do not know how.   Cheers.

I am feeling very analytical tonight and want to listen to all my amps and phones. I have two valve amps - I have read that they need to always see a load when they are switched on. So every time I switch amps, I have quickly switch the hp plug with a substitute - will this damage the amp. Must...

Hi guys, I am having some issues with my beloved K701's lately and wonder if others have had similar issues. OK - so, because I have retired from the rat race I find I have a lot of time on my hands (great - I get to actually listen to my headphones for as long as I desire). I also find...

Since I have quit my job a few weeks ago - I have been getting soft and fat from inactivity, hence the need for some excercise - and naturally, some "Eye of the Tiger" as I pound the bag and run up the stairs (dragged myself up huffing and puffing mostly). I have had the Ipod a while now...

Hi guys, I recently bought an inexpensive valve integrated for my speakers. I really enjoy this product but it really annoys me that there is no remote control. So, I would like to buy a remote control preamp and hook it to an input - I would then max out the volume on the integrated and...
