So...I'm building a gaming PC, my first one. I'll be using k701 headphones. I own a GS-1 headphone amp that I'd like to incorporate into my gaming rig if possible. But I'm confused. I have zero knowledge of PC audio so any help is appreciated.   Firstly, which card is better for headphone...

So, I'm about to venture into the frightening world of DIY and make myself a couple power cables for my headamp and cdp. What guage wire should I be using? I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for. Thanks.

I figured the title would get me a few views. The upgrade bug has gotten to me, and I've decided to change my system. I currently own the EE Minimax, which I adore, but I know I can do better. I have heard nothing but praise for the E5 AKA "Giant Killer", which has piqued my interest for...

Hi all, just wondering if the built-in headphone amp in the Minimax would have enough juice to adequately drive the HD 595's? I'm thinking they would, since the 595's are fairly easy to drive, but I just wanted to make sure before I plunk down $900.00 US! Anybody who has any experience with...

Does anybody here have any experience with the NAD S500i? I am seriously considering purchasing it, but there seems to be a lack of info on it here on the forums. The lower-end NAD models generally receive heaps of praise, so I'm curious why the Silver line is rarely mentioned. Is it a worthy...

When I listen to certain songs, there is a crackling coming from my 590's. When I put the phones directly into the source (EJ01) the distortion stops. Why would my Porta Corda amp cause distortion? I don't listen to my music loud at all. Like I said, it's only certain songs, for example on...

Hi! I've been lurking for about a month and thought I'd ask for some advice. I'm planning on buying headphones, and was going to get the Sennheiser HD 600's, but I've read that they may not be the best headphones for electronic music. Now mind you, I do listen to other kinds of music, but...
