I've had a pair of 1m Palladium interconnects a while back that I really loved but sold to get a shorter length. I'm now downsizing my rig and selling most of the interconnects simply because I don't use them, but I would love to add a palladium interconnect to my rig again. So, is anyone...

Not long ago I compared the DA-10 build in amp with the Heed CanAmp. I must say that the difference is very much noticeable, and we are talking of a somewhat cheap amp.

Do you by any chance still "remember" the CanAmp sound and how it compares against the Solo Green? I really like my CanAmp sound and size wise but the Solo was always an amp I wanted to try. Just not sure how it might compare.

Has anyone tried the improved version yet? I'm thinking on getting one (either the previous one or this) to serve as a transport to my Lavry DA-10. Cheers.

I'm looking at Gigabit switches to upgrade the wired installation of my house and saw several recommendations for the Dell Powerconnect 2716. All over Europe it costs almost twice as much as in the US (~€300), but in the UK there's currently a £100 rebate which makes it a much better deal, at...

I saw the movie Music & Lyrics yesterday (with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore) and there's a scene in the movie where both are on a recording studio wearing Ultrasone's Proline 650

Thanks guys for all the explanations. I just checked the reply I got from Rudistor and it seems it was "Hans" from Customer Service that replied to my question, not Rudi himself. I'll reply back with this information to see what he has to say.

Thanks guys for the advice. I'll give a good listen to both tubes and get back with my findings. Just one last question, are the Amperex USA 7308 PQ tubes fully compatible with the RP5.1? I seem to find much more of these than the Amperex USA 6922 PQ on eBay and I might grab a pair if I could...

I've just got a Rudistor RP5.1 from a fellow head-fi member. It came with the stock EH 6922 and a pair of JAN Philips 6922. I've spend most of the morning reading about tubes including other users recommendations and here are the ones I'm thinking on getting: Amperex USA 7308 PQ 6H23-EB...

MediaMonkey here to. I compared Foobar with MediaMonkey both with their respective asio plugins (MediaMonkey's uses WinAmp's plugins) and ended up prefering the sound of MM.

I'm actually studying and planning a file server atm. From what I've read, the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is one of the best options for ready made NAS. One comparison (I beleive on Tom's Hardware but I can't be sure) picked the Infrant as the top performer NAS of the bunch. After doing the math I...

I see that a few Sennheiser replacement cables use the Cardas connectors so I was hoping it would be possible to get them separately. I guess I'll try to find a used cable to re-use the connectors them. Thanks!

I'm planning on setup a dedicated storage server and narrowed down the RAID card to either a Highpoint or a Areca. The Areca is hardware based but is more than twice the price of the Highpoint so the Highpoint is the one I'm looking to get. Prices here in Europe are almost twice as much as...

Anyone knows where I can buy Sennheiser cable connectors/pins, either the ones that come with the stock cables or Cardas (preferred)? I would like to terminate a cable with these connectors but I can't find any place where to buy them. The Sennheiser cable connectors I'm looking for similar...

Anyone?

Thank you for all the replies especially hilikus for the detailed one. I've just analyzed the track with Adobe Audition and here's the results (click any image for the full image: FLAC from allofmp3 (converted to WAV) FLAC from my rip (converted to WAV) MP3 320 CBR (from someone...

So is there any general consensus on which one sounds best? 750 or 2500? I've been on the edge of buying one for a while but it's getting very difficult to decide on which one to get...
