Dear fellow Head-Fiers,   Yesterday the main fuse of my Classé cap-101 blew right away on start-up. I replaced the T3,15A for a T2,5A which also blew right away. I have been using this amp for quiet a while now and nothing extraordinary has happend which could lead to the problem as far as...

Dear Head-fiers, I have been looking for a secondhand amp to replace my marantz pm7003. At the moment the options seem to be a 10years old arcam A85 for 350euro's or a 4 year old Opera Consonance A100 linear for 300euro's. My question about the A85 would be whether you guys think buying a...

I just wanted to check if you guys are familiar with the term, or genre, called chillwave. I just discovered this whole bunch of incredible music labeled, or partionally labeled, under this genre. It started out wiith Flume, an EP lacking artist who had some vids on youtube. This led me to the...

Dear Head-fier's,   There's someone on the internet willing to trade his Arcam FMJ dv29 for an Arcam cd92 which I own. Would that be an upgrade? I will use it exclusively for cd playing though I have one or two audio DVD's. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.   mcmalden

I decided to replace my QED anniversary speakers cables with the NAIM nac A5's but I am still looking for the right interlink. I listened to the MIT avt3 audio interlink and I really like it. On the internet there are some W&M ac-01 interlinks wandering around which are about equally priced...

Ever since I had my setup I have had the idea the music is slightly moved to the right. But since I blew my left eardrum up at a party I thought that was the problem. However, I just found out my old cassette deck is also showing channel imbalance. I made a short video showing what I am...

At first hand I wanted to buy a DAC for computer-based audio but in the end I decided to buy a cd player. I want to buy a secondhand Arcam CD73T or a secondhand Marantz sa7001 for about 200euros, which is quiet nice. So, which one is the best? I know the Arcam has got terrible chinese mechanisms...

So I spent all my money on a pair of Elac fs 67.2's and the marantz pm7003. Which means it's time to save some money for a source. Since I don't own a lot of CDs I am considering a DAC to go with my sony micro-hifi system with optical output (for cd) and computer etc.. My budget would be 550euro...

 Edit(29/10/2010):   This threat has got hardly anything to do with portable source gear, sorry that's my mistake.   After some very good advice of some head-fiers I had an revelation of which I was hoping for so every thing below this edit is not relevant anymore. I guess it was kind...

  The new nokia N8 will be available soon and the sound quality seems promising refering to gsmarena. I think this might be a good alternative to the iphone. Still I doubt it features a line out so that kind of spoils the fun. Let me know what you think.          

Hello,   I'm thinking about buying a protable amp for my HD 448 since I read a lot of people saying it wil improve the sound quality a lot. I can confirm this when I listen through my Sony micro-hifi system (my nokia 5800 connected with aux). A Sony micro-hifi system is most certain not...

Dear head-fi.org subscribers,   My headphone is a sennheiser HD448 and I think it sounds a bit thin amped only by my cellphone, nokia 5800. The volume is just okay but the bass is just not loud enough compared with highs and mids at high volume level. When I listen to my phone through my...
