After a brown taste from my first McIntosh experience with a MA6900 integrated amp years ago, I decided give a Mac second try, because I, somehow ended up with a D150 DAC totally by an accident. 50 hours into this thing so far as 12/10/2016, I would like to say: it was a great accident! The D150...

I am in the middle renewing my system. I recently got a McIntosh D150, well, by an accident. With only two hours of play time from brand new equipped with a temporary printer cable and an Oyaide Tsunami power cord that is straight into wall, it sounds pretty good from the HP out. The biggest...

OK ladies and Gens, I need some help here.   After many years using trusty Meridian G08.1 CDP, I found myself using my MacBook lots recently for convenience. For now, I am using a USB cable to connect my system but it is so annoying to plug and unplug each time I have to use my computer for...

I ran into this video the other day that is made by KENRICK SOUND. I think it is good experience to share with everyone.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnezplX1zlc

First all, thank Dr. B for hosting the meet. Everything went smooth, and thanks for everyone's great effort to make this happen. There were a lot high end gears.     Dr. B's studio:        

I recently decide to move from rebook CDP to digital but encountered some difficulties so I need some help here. I have some really good quality CDs that have no problem to play in my Meridain G08 before, but after I ripping them using an Apple Super Drive with new MacBook Pro via iTurne to...

The trip to Bottle Head Headquarter really worth the time and drive. Thanks for Dr. B 's hostility and kindness. Dr. B 's setups are all about music, organic and natural. The technical aspect of our meet is getting better each time. Of course the great beer right next door, I really mean at next...

Anyone here own or tried Airbow SR-SC21? It is basically a modded Stax SR-507 by a shop at Osaka Japan. I found some review is Japanese, but google translation does not make senses sometimes. Can someone tell me how they sound and tonal signature? Thanks.   Here is the link  too...

This looks like a wonderful product, many people just have been waiting for!   Quote:  

Most annoying terminology audiophile use today?   To me these are the most useless ones:   " Oh, this is N th degree more resolving than the other amp. Ah, there is a new scratch on my CD that I never heard before!"    "It opened right up, so much air and spark......"

I am wondering how many T1s have been made/sold so far? Beyer seens can't keep up with demand. Serial Number on mine is #1050, which means there are more than 1050 T1s out there at least?

Hi guys, I need some help here. Can anyone recommend some 20~22 AWG soild core (not stranded) hook-up wire? It needs to be: Musical, Warm, NOT bright, great vocal, great dynamic and have great density/body. Thanks for any input and help!

Thanks Gil to make things happen again. Thanks for all the guys that came today. Ok guys it is the time to hand-in your homeworks and pictures.

Is there any interest in 'crossfeed' technology with respect to headphones? Just curious. It is something that I have read up on a bit, but wasn't sure if it was desirable.

English is not my 1st language to start with. Sometimes the words I pick up could be offensive to other people, and I don't realize untill things get out of my hands. I'd wish head-fi would have spell check function!! It is easier for people around world to post. Thanks

I just bought 4 Hi-Fi tuning silver star fuses. Three out 4 arrived with cap not straight. Comepare to generic no brand name fuse, they seems careless about quality control!! Please note: Those fuses look even worse in person!! The caps are all over the place! How about other brand you...

Hi Griffin, I first of all want to really thank you for the opportunity to pursue this project for you. This is a REALLY GREAT amp and with the Senn's, sounds better than I have ever heard a headphone amp sound! I had my techs all listen and even the UPS guy and the unanimous reply was WOW! I...

Pretty sure not long after I got my T1. I will have them recabled. I could not dicide which one to go. So please share your experience with each cable maker's sound signature. This is not limited to T1, other headphones are welcom too. I only familair with Cardas, Stefan AudioArt Equinox, and...

I found this on ebay today. For those of you want to give tube head amp a try, this might be a good start: Audiophile DIY tube Headphone amp 6DJ8 6922 6ES8 + 6AS7 - eBay (item 270503630728 end time Jan-17-10 19:47:02 PST) eBay Seller: sticker4diy: Electronics, Business Industrial items on...

Just bought STAX SR-404 LIMITED 2 min ago for $711 USD shipped. What GOOD options for amp? I can't spend X thousands of dollars like RSA A-10, or Headamp BH anything like that. Thanks for help.

After some intense tube rolling with my WA22, I settle on Holland made, gray smooth plate, black base, top getter Amperex GZ34/5AR4 and EML 5U4G Mesh Plate for Rectifier. Depends on the music, I swap between them. The amperex is the only GZ34 I have for now. Now it is about time I am asking...

I have my HD650 between 12:00 to 12:30 depend on CD. When I had RS-1, I set on 1:00 to 1:30. All my reviews were done at 12:00 fixed. Just make sure I am not the only one going to get hearing aid. My hearing aid better be tube powerd, balanced, have silver wiring and silver solder.

Remember the prototype WA22 used 12AU7 when Larry reviewed while ago? Then later changed to 6SN7 type in production model? Also remember Singlepower was offering 12au7 adapter for their Extreme model for more slam? Both company is or was going opposite directions on 12AU7. What's going on here...

When you turn off the amp, how long sould wait to pull out the tubes? Input, output, power ,and rectifier.
