    In need of repair: Dynamight

    Hello all, I am the owner of the first SFT audio Dynamight. Unfortunately, for some reason the right side no longer functions, and I'm hoping some of our talented members can help diagnose and fix it. Let me know if you're able to do this. I'm in Berkeley, CA so folks in the Bay Area would...

    Need to cool my amp -- ventiliation?

    Hello all, I currently own the infamous SFT Dynamight, first two box design that sft ever built. Well this thing runs hot and I'd like to cool it down. I originally had some 80mm fans strapped on to the back but I couldn't find a reliable way to secure them. So instead I looked to change the...

    Desk Lamps? (Lamp-Fi?)

    Hi everyone. I have a crappy desk lamp that needs replacing. So I'm looking something that's ergonomic and doesn't take up much space, but it must be a crane lamp. No short and stout desk lamps with big foot prints. An example of what I'd be looking for is something like this Ott-lite Crane...

    New DAC hopefully <$2000, need significant step up from Benchmark DAC-1

    Hey all, So one day I'll own a EMM Labs DAC, but until that day I want something that's good. I'm thinking about a Sonic Frontiers SFD2, Mark Levinson No. 36, or ... what else? No Lavry DA10 or Stello DA220 as I consider those more or less side steps. I haven't heard the first two DAC's I...

    SQ on iPod Nano 2G 8GB is terrible!

    I had never owned an iPod before, but had listened to a few others, ranging from acceptable to just terrible sound quality. But when the 8GB sleek black Nano came out I decided to bite the bullet and try it. I had originally bought a COWON iAudio 5 due to recommendations for SQ. Needless to say...

    Anyone own full screen Headphile Sennheiser cups?

    Hello everyone, I was thinking of getting some full-screen Headphile Sennheiser cups. Obviously they have little to no acoustic benefits as far as I can tell, but they do have some aesthetic benefits. However, there are no good pictures of these I can find, especially on the headphones...

    Hello everyone, I've listened to a lot of headphones and surely I've enjoyed some more than others, but I haven't really a baseline for my comparison. What would you suggest to be the most neutral, flat, and uncolored headphone available today and also discontinued? Thanks!

    Who's "done"?

    With the incoming of my new Rega Planet 2000, I think it's safe to say my rig is for the most part settled down and complete. Cans: HD650 balanced for general use, HF-1's for rock and stringed instruments, SA5000's for electronica. My amp is great, pretty satisfied with it. Source, check...

    Unbalanced louder than balanced?

    On my Dynamight I have the choice of two unbalanced pairs of RCA inputs and one XLR input. However, the music is noticably louder when using RCA than XLR. Is this normal? I thought XLR had twice the gain of RCA. I do notice that there is less "noise" in the background with XLR, but that might...

    Tripp Lite products?

    Hello everyone, Anyone heard of Tripp Lite products, or use them for that matter? I found that their prices are well within reason ($50-$100) for their Isobar surge protection and filtering. They seem solid and the scarce reviews on Amazon turn out pretty well.
