10-15 years ago I spent a lot of time on this website, but changes in life meant I didn’t come to this site for a good decade. Daughter is now away at university and that frees up some time, meaning I’m listening more and I’m back. I just purchased Senn 660S and the Topping DX7 Pro. Very happy...

I did a search and I'm still somewhat confused.   I'm interested in purchasing the Momentum headphones, but would also like the flexibility of using a longer cable than the two 1.5 metre cables the headphone comes with.   Reading some other threads it sounds as though the cable for the HD...

It's been about 3 years since I've regularly posted and frequented this site. The second child really cut down on the amount of time I could spend on the Internet and this site. In any event both kids are at an age where they don't need constant attention and I can finally start listening to...

http://www.psiberaudio.com/iPod_4.htm Sorry if this is a repost, but I did a search on a few terms and nothing came up.

I'll be hosting a mini-meet in Burnaby at my place. I'd like to keep the numbers to about 12 - 15 people max, although I'm sure not everyone will be there at the same time, so perhaps we'll have enough room if people arrive and leave at different times. When: Saturday November 6th, 11am - 6...

Is anyone here using Airport Express with a PC? Can it be used with WMP10 or Foobar? Or does it only work with iTunes? I'm interested in being able to stream music wirelessly to my receiver, but I prefer using WMP10 or Foobar to iTunes which will only play mp3 or AAC.

After attending a meet (great way to compare equipment back to back) and hanging out at Trevor's place, I've realized that I like the Grado sound, but the comfort of Senns. Is there a different make I should try? I currently have Beyer DT990 Pros and would like something better. I do like the...

I have an ATI All in Wonder card that I purchased because I wanted to have a TV tuner. I know there are cheaper ways to have done it, but that's another discussion. Anyhow, I currently take a 1/8" cable from my video card into my sound card input so I can hear the audio for television. I...

It seems as though the rest of the world is catching up quickly. Despite the losses in International play, I still think the US is the best basketball nation in the world. Many top players have not attended and I think a good outside shooter like Ray Allen would make a difference. US...

As the title implies, I'm in Canada and would like to buy an EMU sound card, either the 0404 or 1212. At this moment, I think I prefer the 0404 since I only want to use one slot instead of two.

I like using WMP9 and may buy another portable to supplant the iPod I have. I want something that will play high bit rate WMA files. I noticed that one of the websites selling the new iRiver series stated that it would play WMA but only up to 192 kbps which is lower than what I typically use...

I've been to the Apple website and I can't tell what you get with a dock if you purchase it separately. Do you get the proprietary cable that Apple makes for a Firewire to dock connection? I presume you don't get the AC adaptor. I would really love to have a 2nd dock, but I want to know...

I'm interested in getting a Karma for mainly home use, but some portable use as well. I'd like to buy multiple docks, so I could just pick up the Karma and drop it into a dock hooked up to a stereo elsewhere in the home. I know the iPod has a ton of aftermarket accessories and they're easy to...

Due to my wife mixing up all the CDs in their cases, I've gone to a system of putting all of her music on an iPod which she uses to listen to music through a stereo system, connected via the dock. I've been thinking about another source for a spare bedroom in the house and I'm considering...

For equivalent quality parts within a given DAC, will a USB DAC have an advantage due to lower jitter? I read this page and was unaware that a USB DAC will almost eliminate jitter. http://www.wavelengthaudio.com/Cosecant.html I realize this is a very expensive DAC and I'm not...

If I took the headphone out of the PPA and hooked it up to a power amp, how well would this work? How would it compare to a good pre-amp?

Are there any health and nutrition sites that members frequent? I always wonder about things like how much sodium intake in a day is ok, am I making good food choices, etc...... As I'm getting older I'm finding I get sick far more often than I did when I was younger. I think I need to...

We had a meet in Burnaby/Vancouver yesterday and I had been eyeing the HD 650 and it was a great opportunity to hear them. Aren't meets great I listened to them using my Classik as a source fed into an AOS built standard PPA configuration. Sounded very nice and pleasing. I also heard them...

Having recently completed a speaker trade with my brother (my original DQ-10's that were actually his years ago, for a pair of PSB Stratus Minis) I dusted off my Linn Classik that had been sitting idle. I knew that my computer system (Yamaha DP-U50 external sound card/preamp, modded Hafler...

My equipment: Linn Classik PSB Stratus Mini's (recently obtained in a trade with my brother for DQ-10's, which were originally his) Hafler DH-120 I really like my Linn, but find it's a bit shy on power. Should I attempt to bi-amp my speakers to get more bass? Will the Hafler power be...

I know it will work, but will I lose a significant amount of information if I just use a regular RCA cable instead of forking out the money for a coaxial cable?

Someone is interested in buying my Little and I'd like to know what a fair price is. Thinking about upgrading to something better and eventually getting some HD650s as an upgrade from my current DT 990 Pros.

I bought my wife a PocketPC for Christmas. It looks like a really cool device and I thought of getting one for myself. Now I don't want to carry around an iPod, a cell phone AND a pocketPC. So I was wondering what the sound quality of PocketPCs are and if anyone uses them for portable listening...

davei - Great summary. Kelvie, I wasn't trying to say you could avoid paying duty. Simply that if you pick up the package in the US and bring it across yourself you have a chance that they might not charge you duty. Of course if you carry the item across the border yourself, you won't have to...

I don't know anything about these. How do I go about finding which features are most commonly used (i.e. useful for the average person) in a short amount of time? I know I don't care if the unit doubles as a camera, but having it double as a music player might be cool. I recall someone saying...
