I got about a half-day of roaming around the T.H.E. show today-- a few impressions...   I finally got to hear a pair of Stax SR-009s.  They were married to a HeadAmp Blue Hawaii SE amp, and all I can say is it's the finest rig I've ever heard.  From bass depth and detail to vocals and...

Warning--   Installed OSX Mavericks this week, and it won't communicate with my Wyred4Sound DAC 2.  Contacted Wyred4Sound, they don't have a driver yet for Mavericks.     They said it won't be too long, but for now, my DAC2 is a paperweight.

I think it's safe to say-- I'm a bit of an earbud snob.  I have bunches of earbuds laying around-- and for the most part I use just a few pairs.     I got into this fitness kick (what the heck am I thinking?) and tonight I decided rather than polish off the bag of cheetos, I'd actually, you...

I'm starting this discussion because of a confluence of events which make a decent story-- but end at a place where we can all contribute.   It starts with BDG Syndrome.  I'm not sure if it's in Grey's Anatomy or not, but it stands for "Big Dumb Guy".  I wanted a little better sound out of...

I'm stuck.  The app tells me the database is corrupt on launch-- but I can't find the database to delete it.   Anyone know where they stick it?

Haven't seen many people address tube rolling on the WA-5, so I'm trying a thread about it.   Backstory:  I was a Woo WA-6 owner, and I had a great time running through tubes on the amp.  Ultimately settling on a 6SN7 drivers and a mid-1950's GZ34 rectifier as my reference set.     Then...

A lot of talk in the threads about how optical digital sources are inferior to coax digital sources.  I buy into that concept.  Yet on a MacBook Pro, the options you have to feed a digital source are either USB or optical only.  Is anyone converting to a coax out?  If so, how are you doing the...
