    Where to find rare/hard to find albums online?

    I'm looking for out of print CDs with superior mastering, especially those DCC albums mastered by Steve Hoffman. I realize that this post might be against forum rules, and if so, please delete. But I just can't get enough of such well mastered albums, and since what I'm looking for is usually...

    RS-1 Build Quality

    Hi all, I had a question about something that I'm not sure is an issue anymore. I remember some time back that there were some QC issues with the newer (at the time) RS-1s (and RS-2s?). I don't want to stir up any bad blood or whatnot, but I was curious as to whether that issue got resolved...

    College Admissions Decisions for the Future Class of 2011

    How exciting, UCs have already for the most part released their decisions, and the Ivies are releasing their decisions this Thursday, followed by a few others like Stanford the Monday following. I do believe I've heard from MIT, UCLA, UCSD, and UCI and still waiting on Berkeley. I think...

    Moore's Law as applied to head-fi

    the average amount of burn-in time recommended by head-fiers doubles every 24 months. Seriously, after reading this, the idea that burn-in is the cure all to everything is driving me insane http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...00#post2615300 2nd post Certainly, you can argue that...

    nope, don't have it. I can only see 500 posts. Is there any way to search farther back than that other than using the search function?

    I just picked up Live in Japan [SACD]

    so far, all I can say is . THe sound is very engaging and just draws me into the music, which is all that matters really. I haven't compared yet to the redbook, but I'm really enjoying these. Glad I picked these off of audiogon. George Harrison

    Sony SCD CE-595 modding

    does anyone know of any possible modding that I could do to this player to improve the sound? I can't seem to find anything on it other than sending it off for a $550 mod, which is a bit pricey.

    Helpful bit of advice for people new to hi-fi equipment

    Always buy used. I cannot stress this concept enough. If you take a shot in the dark, and miss, you're going to resell, so minimize your losses and just resell, ocassionally pocketing the 10 dollar profit on one sale and losing 10 dollars in another sale. That way, you'll be about even when you...

    got my MDR-CD3000... and wow, it is amazing

    After going through many headphones, Grados from 60 to 1, Senns from 580 to 650, AKG k501 to k340, and many more, I think I've found it. The headphone for me: The Sony MDR-CD3000. Why the hell did they discontinue this? It's a work of beauty. The comfort is so good I can't stop smiling, and i'm...

    Denon DCD-1500 vs. Sony SCD-CE595 vs Rotel RCD-855

    how do these 3 compare in terms of the sound? I've heard great things about the Rotel in terms of how well it engages the listener and things like that, and the Denon DCD-1500 is built like a tank and sounds great for an exceptionally low cost. Both of these are quite old so there are durability...

    PINT review... a small one nonetheless

    Ok, so this was a mini^3ified PINT with a gain of 6, using AD8397 opamps and Elna Cerafine 470uF C4. I used a D-111, Cardas HPI, and K501s with this PINT. I am extremely impressed and blown away by this little amp. In my opinion, it has the best bang for the buck performance of any portable...
