    Qinpu Q-6/Q-2 or Audioengine A2 for desktop setup

    Same price if you include the A2 stands, Q-6 have stands built-in. I'm drawn to the Q-6 because of it's psuedo-dipole pattern (I'm a big Magnepan/open baffle fan). A2 seems to be the tried-and-true choice.   Which would you choose and why?

    Suggestion for Head-Fi'r who prefers ADDIEM over CK10 and MTPC.

    I've had the ADDIEM for quite a while now, longer than I've been a member here. After upgrading my home full-size setup, I decided it was time for a good portable set. I first tried the MTPC. I got them refurb, so I figured it was a small gamble. Not my cup of tea at all. Flabby bass...

    Apple TV 2 Coaxial Digital Output Mod.

    http://www.hackint0sh.org/f286/192941.htm   Thinking about trying this on my 2nd Gen Apple TV. Are Toslink and Coaxial digital signals "interchangeable" like this?

    Recommendations for portable setup. Are customs for me?

    Looking to pair a good set of IEM's with my new iPad 2 for travel. Isolation is important. Currently, I have a set of HE-6's at home and a set of Fostex T50RP's at work. Right now I have the Apple BA for travel, which are decent, I guess. I just borrowed a set of Shure SCL-5's from a friend, and...

    Magnepan rig for HT/Music.

    I'm absolutely loving my HE-6/Virtue One.2 combo, and I'd love to get the same sound in a 2-channel HT/music rig. The caveat is that I have a child on the way, so I'd like to get the wall-mount Maggies. Either the MMG W or MC1, with a small sub to fill out the lows.   I think I'll repurpose...

    What's the deal with Audez'e?

    Just got my email that my set is ready. A good month longer than the Audez'e site indicated. If I continually produced results at my job a month after I said they'd be ready, I wouldn't have a job that allowed me to buy such premium items as LCD-2's.   And before members start chiming in...

    Thinking about picking up this set of Grado HP-2's

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140490122266   Wondering if this is a good deal.   Obviously these need some work. Is Grado still offering restoration services for these?

    DIY amp with enough power to drive HE-6?

    Is there a board (or kit) with enough power to drive the Hifiman HE-6?   6 watts at 60 Ohms is recommended.

    Grado RS1i or straight to LCD-2 for rock?

    I currently have a set of Denon AH-D7000 with MarkL mod, and a Stax SRS-2050mkII (for getting my feet wet with electrostats). I love the Denon's for classical, jazz and anything that's slow ,sparse and dynamic. Rock and metal are a different story. I feel like the Denon's just can't reproduce...

    Gain staging with Duet and Stax Energizer

    Currently using an Apogee Duet with my MBP. I have a Stax 2050 mkII rig on the way. I've already ordered a custom breakout cable with male RCA's, so Duet line-out>>Stax Energizer input.   What's the ideal way to run the volumes with this, as the Duet has a volume control, as does the Stax...

    Recommend upgrade from Apogee Duet

    I'm currently using an Apogee Duet with my MacBook Pro and Denon AH-D7000's. I like the increased depth and better bass than with the MacBook headphone out, but the Duet seems to make things sound "rounder" and more "glued" together. I use a Sound Blaster card at home, and although it is noisier...
