Thanks for the responses.  I've made a number of purchases from the sponsors so I guess I'm doing my part.  Actually would've saved $ if I had just given Head-Fi my money :).  As long as the site is doing OK, I won't worry about my paltry sum.  Thanks again.

Hate to bring up a 2.5 month old thread, but I can't find how to contribute monetarily to Head-Fi.  I promised in one of my sales that I would contribute and will, if only I knew how.  Am I just missing the link?  Any info would be appreciated....Jack

Proud new owner of 325is (chrome, I like!), serial #5816.  Now to find the time to do some listening with the RSA SR71A/325is combo.

Hi....My vacuum ate the plug in end of my 001 cable (don't ask, not happy with person). The pins are destroyed. Does anyone know where to buy replacement cables, ear speakers not necessary but I don't know if you can get them separately. Any info would be appreciated....Jack

I was wondering why you were suspiciously uninformative earlier. Question answered. Good for you. Karma rules!

Hi....I have a pair of SR60's that have been recabled with Canare Starquad. While the sound is nice, the cables are a bit too stiff for me. I'm looking for someone to re-cable the phones with original Grado cable or a more flexible after market cable. Or maybe someone can point me in the right...

I use mine with my Mini 9 and Stax portable system. Sounds nice to me, MUCH nicer than no DAC. I have no other DAC to compare it to however.

I've got the 4GB Clip on the way. Buy.com has refurb 1GB Clips for $13.99 shipped if anyone's interseted. What the H, I ordered a couple.

Nuforce Icon mobile.

Just picked up a pair for $81.86 OTD using coupon provided (thank you) and DPA. Repped!!

I went with the Dell Mini 9 16GB SSD and the Nuforce Icon Mobile amp/dac and am quite happy with the results. The combo definitely gets looks when I'm out "surfing". Piggybacked my Dash via bluetooth to the mini and voila!

How about a brand new pair of Klipsch Image X-10's for $179 shipped vs Shure SE530 at its lowest price? Are they worth the extra $$ now? Any info appreciated. Thanks....Jack

MrHoopla... My choice would be the ATH AD700's for all 3 of your questions. Definitely the most comfortable (but big).

No onions, they make me cry.

Thanks for all of the replies. Patience is one of my virtues, so I'm in no hurry to start a dispute claim (but will in due time if the situation hasn't changed). I have checked this site quite often to try and catch him online, but no luck yet. Like I said, I've sent 2 nice PM's and 1 nice email...

Hi....I'm just curious as to how long you would wait to get PO'd at a seller that has not contacted you since the transaction took place. I am at over a week now and have left very nice PM's and 1 very nice email. The seller has a ton of all positive feedback here, that's why I'm hesitant to go...

Lost my leg in a motorcycle accident in '83, my brother's called me this ever since. It was his cycle, I was picking him up from the car dealer and he was on it with me. He should be calling me "my loving little bro who took the brunt of the trauma and allowed me to live my life to the fullest...

I can't compare the Energy to the Klipsch, but I love my Energy Veritas 2.1's. I also have 2 Energy C-1's and 2 C-3's just waiting to complete a 5.1 system.

If the ear speakers hurt, try it without the headband. The speakers form a good seal without the vise like grip of the headband (slowly stretching or bending the band over time reduces/eliminates this). However, in my experience, this works best when being still as the speakers are not very...

I'm very happy with my Fubar II from Firestone Audio (via a fellow Head-Fier). I use it with my TA 10.1 amp / PSB Alpha's for computer speakers and switch over to the F II and Headamp AE-1 for phones. It's definitely worth checking out. Just my .02

Hey....Thanks for all of the info. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, but I just couldn't picture it in my head. As far as the AE-1, I would only use that with the DAC if the two could mate via RCA out on the Fubar and RCA in on the AE-1. Would that work? That way I can keep the TA amp at home...

C'mon, just a simple ay or nay, please.

Hi....I can't seem to wrap my brain around this one. I have an E1705 notebook on the way and I was wondering if this would work for a home based 2 channel setup. E1705 > USB cable > Fubar II > RCA IC > Trends Audio 10.1 amp > speakers ? I already will have the laptop, cables, speakers and...

x4 on the Blue Jeans Cable. Both of my HT's use Blue Jeans speaker cable.

Having never tried AKG, I would love to give them a whirl....Jack
