    REVIEW: TTVJ FET-A solid state amp

    Todd graciously loaned me a TTVJ FET-A amp and I have been listening to it for the past month and a half. It’s a fine solid unit at a pretty attractive price point, considering there are not too many high quality discrete solid state options made here in America. The design is by Pete Millet...

    ipod gen with best quality headphone out?

    Hey guys, I am sure this has been bludgeoned to death, but I am kind of a newb when it comes to ipods and portable gear in general, so I ask that you take pity on me and help me out. All I have ever owned was a 3rd gen 10 gb, which served me just fine, but its about to hit the ghost. Also the...

    Need recommendation for wife - workout cans

    Hey guys, My wife's birthday is coming up, and she is asking for some workout cans to run with. She basically wants something that wraps around her ears, then inserts into her ear. I don't think something like that exists, but I figured I would ask the experts. She doesn't want or like the...

    appropriate wire gauge size for senn cable

    What do you guys think would be the "correct" gauge of wire to use for a senn cable? It has to be flexible enough and practical enough where I should be able to move about a bit and not worry about breaking the darn thing. I am thinking somewhere between 20-26 awg. The cable that I plan on...

    New Meridian G08.2 (sorry huge pic warning)

    New version 2, appears the only difference is a slot loaded drive that you just slide your CD into. Sure looks neat, I wonder what if any sonic differences are there and what their thoughts were going into changing the drive mechanism.

    recommendations for cheap room acoustic treatments

    Looking at getting further into room acoustics, but I am not paying $200 for a little foam triangle to put in my corner. Anyone have links or a website that deals with making your own treatments for pennies, highly appreciated. Or if you are inclined to sprinkle your own wisdom about your room...

    Attention Homeowners - First Home Mortgage Questions

    My wife and I are currently in the process of purchasing our 1st home. Very exciting, but also very scary. We have a couple of homes that we are contemplating making an offer on, but the scariest part is dealing with brokers and lenders in securing a mortgage loan. We have consulted close...

    Any way to get around ebay blocking my messages?

    I am currently trying to contact a member about purchasing something. Yet ebay blocks my emails, citing that it doesn't accept messages between users that don't have a direct related transaction.

    The Moth S2A3...has landed!

    I have graduated from my good ole Eddie Current HD-25 to the beautiful Moth S2A3. I got some great time with her yesterday and today, and really feel that it was a huge step up. The first thing to really hit me was the bass, it now feels like it goes a whole octave and a half lower than the...

    Finally got a set of Old School RS-1's

    I have been looking for these babies for quite awhile. Saw a set on ebay for 499 buy it now, so I bit: Now its been awhile since I have owned RS-1's, but these do appear to have a subtle difference to the sound. The highs seem to be more controlled, focused I would say. And there...

    Eddie Current EC/SS - impressions

    I have had the pleasure of having the EC/SS grace my system for the past three weeks. Craig knew from our conversations in the past that I was looking for a budget priced solid state to compliment my tubed hd-25.

    The Eddie Current HD-25 has landed!

    Within the past couple of months, I have had the opportunity to hear a lot of amps. While they all sounded good in various ways, there was always something about the sound that I could pinpoint and criticize. It doesnt do dynamics, the midrange is not as present, the highs are etched, bass is...
