Fellow audiophiles, I have this theory that people actually would enjoy owning a beautiful, high quality, premium pen that writes super well, has wonderful balance, a nice heft, and can last a long time... but there's really not been a pen that has come across their way that has those...

I'm curious to hear your guys' opinions on what you guys would consider "the best" headphone you would own if you did not own an amp (or could not get one).    I'll start. I'm starting to think perhaps a high end Grado (PS500, RS1, PS1000) might be the best option?

Today we had yet another awesome head fi meet in the Bay Area. Great to see some familiar faces, and a big thanks to purrin for setting it all up! 2 years ago I started the impressions thread, so I thought I'd continue the tradition this time around as well. Will post my impressions soon, but...

I'm starting a new men's style web series (simplerman.com), and I'm wondering what you guys would want in something like that?   I'm curious how much you guys would say that you care about clothing, I'm curious, because it's a big part of my life, even more than headphones and speakers.  ...

Hi guys,   So I've gone through the huge journey of upgraditis a couple years ago and went from something as basic as a Pico DAC/AMP -> Grado SR60 up to the Woo Audio GES -> Stax O2s.   The amp that I've had for the last year now though has been the Headamp GS-1 and I personally love it...

Hello,   I am in the process of receiving a Headamp GS-1 but there seems to be one thing I really want to change about it.   Currently the preamp-out is always active, even when the headphones are plugged into the front of the amp.   I have powered speakers without any volume control...

Hi guys,   I have a feeling that too few of you have had the opportunity to hear both the Woo Audio GES and the Headamp KGSS (especially in one sitting) but I was hoping to see if anyone had an idea of what the differences are between the two amps.   At one time, maybe four or five years...

Hi guys,   I had a question. I have my Stagedac connected to my laptop PC which has all of a sudden began to have problems when the computer is plugged in. Basically there will be pops and crackles all over the music whenever I do anything on the computer (surf the web, play a video, etc.)...

So I’ve been quite content with my Sennheiser HD800 + Woo Audio WA6SE setup (with the Meier StageDAC as the source) for a couple months now since I acquired them. This setup has provided me a sound that I feel makes me excited to come home everyday and listen. I had a pair of Denon AH-D7000 and...

Hi guys,   I had joked with CEE TEE that he should start an impressions thread but he has clearly contributed enough to this awesome day. I'll post my impressions later but I thought I would at least start off the impressions thread.     Great meeting you all today!

I was wondering how many DACs you guys know that have two outputs?   I saw the Stagedac by Meier audio is one of them, with an output that is at a set volume level, while the other is volume controlled. You guys know of any others?

Hello,   I am considering getting a pair of Martin Logan Puritys for my computer setup. However, I am pretty scared that these type of floor speakers are not really meant for near field listening. I would be literally 2 feet away from each of the speakers and so I wanted to know if anyone...

Hi guys,   I want to know if it is good/possible to use Martin Logan Purity speakers with my computer.    I have bookshelf speakers but feel I need more power and more soundstage from my speakers so I looked into the Martin Logans, and they seem perfect because they already have power in...

Hello,   I was just curious out there what people thought of the Edition 8 in comparison to the D7000.   I've had the opportunity to listen to both of them but unfortunately not on the same setup and also not interchangeably. In all honesty, I preferred the sound of the D7000, but I...

Anyone here feel like high end headphones and amplifiers are becoming so common now that a subforum like this is almost obsolete?   It seems like most the discussions on the regular headphone forum are about headphones that cost over 800 dollars (T1, ED8, HD800, LCD2, HE6, PS1000, etc).  ...
