Hello.   Any head-fi folks in the general vicinity that would allow a newbie have a listen?  I'm considering a purchase, but it appears there are no local retailers that have this available, and I'd rather not buy and then return if things didn't work out.   Thanks

My contribution to the head-fi community.   Have fun!   It's going to sell out quickly!   http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals  

First, apologize if this is not in the right forum.   Second, I did try a few different combination of searches, and the "Sort By Date" feature seems to yield unexpected results.   As a newb and lurker, I've spent the better part of the past few weeks being a sponge to learn about this...

Hello Folks,   Lots to read and lots to learn.  A search didn't quite answer my question, so hoping asking in this forum is OK.   My laptop appears to have a rather poor 3.5mm headphone ports, which I've used to listen to music and movies.  There is a noticeable "hiss" (that I can hear)...
