    The Extreme Mothership Has Landed!!! (56K Care)

    A big box arrived for me today. Express my ass, it took five days... This Amp is Extreme #003, it was the first unit ordered on the phone, back in December. It is a true balls to the wall amp. If I had to come up with a Singlepowerey title it would be something like Extreme...

    Singlepower Virtual Tour (Pics Coming)

    Disclaimer:Some of you may have noticed that I made some editions. These were subtractive only in regards to the wishes and privacy of the manufacturer. Other than being a satisfied costumer, I have no affiliation with singlepower audio and the words written here are exclusively my own...

    A short piece I wrote:Whataya think?

    This is a short piece I wrote last summer that I rediscovered. I was taking a music technology course at Maryland for college credit and this was my final exam. Its kind of dark and cheesy and the samples are poorly mixed (way too loud wanted them to be inaudible but ran out of time) but other...

    ISIS Appreciaton Thread

    Here is the allmusic guide intro to Isis, I think its fitting. Isis is a monolithic, breathing, dense, incredibly spiritual musical experience that, while rooted in heavy metal and the punk/hardcore aesthetic, relies just as heavily on ambience, atmosphere, and tone as it does complexity...

    New CD Player

    Couldn't resist looks...or the price. Impressions to come. I like it quite a bit. Burning in with choice Isis Oceanic right now. Oh its a stealth Consonance Turandot, if you couldn't tell.

    Should I get GS1000s?

    Hmm, I am very happy with current cans, a set of Headphile woody PS-1s and have long been searching for something complementary to play to their weaknesses. I LOOOOVE my PS-1s so I'll give a brief description of what they sound like and you tell me whether you think that GS1000s are different...

    USB DAC Commission

    Very Cool Story About the Sticky Gunk in Grados

    My Great Uncle Erwin was an intense audiophile for a long time, unfortunately, as he is now well into his 70s and partially deaf he has somewhat gotten out of the hobby. Anyways, he was a friend of Joe Grado's and a high up chemist for exxon for over 40 years. Every couple years Joe would...

    Hats and Bowls

    Well this is not even a problem for most people, but for those of us with little ears, the tops of our ears touch the Grado drivers and its mighty uncomfortable. For reference my ears can pretty much fit inside the bowls. Introducing hat! Wow what a difference! With the hat on the pads only...

    Which Forum Do You Visit the Least?

    Of the active forums, which do you visit least and why? My prediction is the meet planning forum is least popular. I'm just curious. Let me know if I forgot anything. I only listed permanently active forums.

    Zu Gede and Bok?

    I'd really like to know a little bit more about these cables. There is very little information on the web about them. Except for a couple mini-reviews, a comment on audio asylum that gede is 98% as good as varial, and markl's unfortunately negative description of the bok as "plasticy" Anyone...

    10000 Days Rocks!!!/10000 Days Impressions Thread

    I recently acquired a majority of the tracks from Tool's new album 10000 Days, through "questionable" methods, don't worry I preordered it, and as expected it is nothing short of epiphany inducing. Although both parts of 10000 Days are epic, my favorite track has to be Intension. It is truly the...

    Scott-Nixon USBTD

    The USB version of the tubedac+ is out. Pics on his site: scott-nixon.com. It has a direct I2s usb converter instead of going through spdif so thats good. As of now its priced same as tube dac but the price will go up considerably in the next couple months because of enclosure changes. Just...

    Bybees?

    Anybody got experience with these? 6moons said some people like them and some people don't but they barely touched on what it is people like about these filters and what isn't likeable about them.

    Wednesday Night at Hirsch's

    First and foremost Hirsch, I'd like to thank you for being so open and hospitable. My dad and I had a wonderful time. I came in lusting for the PS-1s...and I came out lusting for the PS-1s as well. For one thing I don't think there was possibly any doubt in my mind that PS-1s are made for bowls...

    Why are there no "high-end" headphone recables?

    I never really understood this. I have read in several places that it is easier to hear a difference in headphone cables (and speakers cables i assume as well) than in interconnects. Interconnects scale all the way up from ratshacks to stealth indras. Headphone recables dont cost more than 200...

    Corda Aria + MDR-SA5K

    I don't think anyone has heard the aria, but can someone tell me how well they think these components would synergize based on experience with other Corda's? Any other USB DAC/amp combos that would do better in relative the same price range? Thanks in Advance

    325i vs SA5K vs K701 vs RS2?

    Well guys after discovering Head-Fi im ready to jump in deeper. I own both a Shure e4c and a Senn HD497 (with a PA2v2) but I find both of these cans too laid back for my taste (hence my lack of interest in HD650s). I listen to mostly progressive and post rock and a few of my favorite artists...
