I'm not a fan of these cans, so I won't get one, but this seems like a steal: $95 online only Boxing Day sale at Futureshop, starting 8pm on Christmas Eve.   Happy shopping. I don't work for Futureshop.

Mine didn't come in a box. There are no markings that I can see.   ???

I know that this is a subjective question that only I can answer for myself, but I pose it in regards to current market value in North America.   I've been missing my K-1000 since I sold my old pair last year. Now that I've gotten rid of my entire speaker rig (save the Aleph 30), I'm back to...

I'm thinking of moving onto a newer player like the Zen or D2, perhaps a Sony, but is the 1st gen Shuffle still considered "good" unamped? I've been reluctant to replace it because other iPods that I've tried (Classic, 2nd Shuffle, and Nano) are clearly inferior, IMO. How does the D2 or a...

Someone is describing some sort of quiet static coming from the left speaker out of his OII. Could this be due to the can's lack of charging after prolonged inactivity, and/or could the new McAlister amp be responsible for the noise? What about potential culprits being the wiring, IC, power...

Would it be cheaper just to buy a Signal Cable cord with Marinco terminations? Signal Cable's specs for its basic 3 ft. power cord is very impressive for $60. In fact, to build one of equal quality might cost just as much. Additional questions that I have include -- 1. Do Furutech and...

Well, since the Equinox hardwire cable is $300 and the extension $310, with a wait time of over a month, I finally decided to re-cable my K1000 instead of waiting endlessly for a used Equinox to show up on the sales forum. So far, I've seen only one hardwire K1000 cable for sale, and it was on...

or at this is my experience. I re-wired my K1000 with some Canare Star Quad, which is properly insuated and shielded, unlike the garbage stock cable, and now my left driver's buzzing during extreme bass has disappeared, not to mention everything sounds significantly clearer and cleaner, with a...

We had a power outage last night that might have damaged my new power amp, which I've had for only a few days. I listened to my K1000 for over an hour today without any problems, but when I returned for a second session, the left speakers smelled burnt, and some static was emitting from it. Lo...

as in making ICs from scratch, as well as for general power cords and headphone cables? I've seen AuDIYo's, but something a bit more detailed would be appreciated.

has anyone tried this combination? Does anyone have any experience with vintage or newer Cary tube amps with the K1000?

I follow Dr. Meier's advice on headphone fit by putting locating the drivers slightly below and in front (towards my face) of my ear canal. Tucking my ear inside the flap of the padding on the Qualia and placing the headphone as forward and as low as possible give me the best possible fit...

I'm very interested in this amp because of its relatively low price, and also because the company is based in Canada Can anyone provide a comprehensive review of this amp? If anyone is interested in sending the EA-1 to me for comparison with the Blue Hawaii, please let me know. I'm...

The Mensa and the Nixon are around both under $350 in stock form, and both fared well against two $1200+ DACs that are highly regarded: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=1004

I blame the management team for putting together a club that includes so many washed up veterans who are having mediocre NHL seasons. Pronger was arguably the worst player in the entire Olympics, is not fully healthy, and has had a poor year so far in Edmonton. He, along with a whole bunch of...

Has anyone compared the quality difference between various integrated/ preamps for the K1000? I've read excellent reviews about the extremely affordable t-amp, but has anyone compared this little treasure to something like a mid to high-end power amp?

After obtaining my HD650, I decided that I wanted to keep the marble look of my fairly new HD600, whose headband and pads are now nicely broken-in as well. Here are the two nestling before the surgery: The HD600's innards... ...the HD650's guts all lie in wait...

Most mid-range tube amps are in the $700-$1000 range, and I'm wondering if I spend about $700 on parts and the PCB board, what kind of performance can I expect? Would an amp like that rival $1000+ tube amps?

Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, etc. Please recommend the most "musical" and easiest songs and discs that these and other classical composers have. I've checked the sample files on Amazon, but 1 minute is not enough to "get into" classical, IMO.

Does anyone have any experience with this amp? http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/interface/ifa7/

I'm currently using massively overpriced $80 Monster cables and want something that's shorter than a few feet and cheap but sounds at least as good. Hosa has a solid reputation here for being a low-priced bargain. What about Sound Quest?

http://www.audioeden.com is an authorized dealer that quoted me a DAC1 for $1150 CAD (the CURRENT exchange rate). As most of you Canadians know, we get screwed on the exchange rate, so the retail on this DAC is somewhere in the $1300 CAD range. Also, they are charging only GST and $25 for...
