It has been a while since I used any wired headphones, therefore my amps are sitting still for a while. Since then, I have acquired a speaker system and am waiting for a Bluesound Node X. It’s advertised to have an improved headphone amp section with, according to Bluesound: State of the art...

I am thinking about buying a pair of Beoplay HX mainly to work from home. I have used a H8i for many years and also H9. The reviews says the sound signature changes quite a bit towards a more neutral aspect, removing the attenuated bass found in the older models. That is something that attracts...

Hi all, It's been really long since I have been around, lack of time might be the reason. But anyways, it's time for a cable replacement in my beloved Westone 4R. Since the new W*0 line came out, the cable connectors changed, but I need the old 2 pin cable. I know there are a few options...

WOW, just grabbed a Westone 4R for U$299 at earphonesolutions.. It's been a while since I last visited Head-fi, but I guess I snapped a pretty good deal, right?

Hi guys,   My PXC 450 won't turn on.. nothing happened to it.. I didn't drop the headphone, the batteries are new (tried even a few different brands). I don't know what to do, once I bought it in Singapore about 3 years ago while traveling. The first one I got there was defective out of the...

Guys, Anyone could list me the tubes compatible with the MAD Ear+ Purist HD2. I'm looking for some replacement and need to know exactly what i should look for other than the stock tubes models (5751 and ECC99). I know the ECC83 and 12AX7 are compatible, but which of the 2 stock tubes those...

Hey guys, I own a Mapletree Audio Design Ear+ Purist HD2. I always enjoyed it, but a while ago it started to distort the sound after some time playing (about 10 min.). Don't know what that could be, but i'd shoot some of the tubes problem. Apparently the amp adds distortion after the tubes (or...

Hey folks, Sorry about opening this thread, but i'm really sort on time. My aunt is currently in NYC and i decided to ask her to buy me a closed can to compliment my collection (Shure E2c, Grado SR-60, Grado RS-1 and AKG K701). I'm looking for a closed, fullsized headphone with a good...

Hey folks, I want to configure windows mail in my laptop. I'm using Vista and the email account i wanna add to windows mail is a gmail account. Well i was reading about how to configure and it's actually pretty easy. The question i have is how do i make sure i'll keep my inbox into the gmail...

If you're a jazz enthusiast or just enjoy it sometimes, i'd love to know how old are you. I've discussed a few times music and when jazz pops up, young people are always a bit shocked when i say i really enjoy jazz. The word young is a bit subjective, but i don't consider myself young for jazz...

Am currently looking for an online music store where i can pay and download lossless files. Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Didn't found anything good yet, so decided to post for some help, once i'm super busy and can't research the way i wanted to. Thanks in advance ...

I'm a noob when the subject is photography, so sorry if the questions are too dumb. Currently aiming for a new digital camera once mine has been stolen a while ago and i'm tired of the crappy cellphone camera. After some research, i'm going towards the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8. Looks one of...

Anyone knows of any audio couses or events? I prefer those happening on the first quarter of 2008, but could be any date. I'll try to go any date. I'm on master studying of Noise and Vibrations Control. I'd love to get into audio a bit more than i'm allowed to, which is mainly in my classes...

I'm in the market for an Ipod speaker. I know none of them will sound at least close to my headphone setup, but i need one for my little parties. Any recommendation is appreciated. I own an 2nd gen. Nano and a Classic. Video output would be great, but i'm willing to sacrifice it for audio...

Well, After a long period of time when people were complaining about the classic funtionality, finally apple released a new firmware: 1.0.3. Let's hope it solves the bugs, or at least most of them. I personally don't have any major bugs while using my 160GB classic. Here's the ilounge 1.0.3...

I own a few DAP, including an Ipod Nano 8GB 2nd. gen. which i use a lot. I have an opportunity to get a new toy. I was wondering which one to get between the Classic (160GB), the touch or the iPhone. I have a ALO Cryo dock and i was wondering if it works with the classic? And what about the...

If an Ipod with optical output appears in the up comming Apple show scheduled for september 5th, would you buy it? Just a thought, i know it's not gonna happen ...

Post the album that is stuck in your mind lately. You can't forget the songs lyrics and keep singing all the time in your head. Could be vinyl, CD, DVD, VHS concert, SACD, DVD-Audio, cassete, etc. - whatever. The point is to let others know what you're listening the most. I'm currently stuck...

I'm looking for a DB meter to monitore my listening level. I've been looking for some models but even the a bit more expensive ones seems to cover only from 35Hz to 8KHz. Is this normal? Can you guys recommend me some DB meters, so i can compare the specs of them with the ones i've been...

I would like to start using my MicroDAC on the go. For such task i'll need rechargeable batteries and a 9V battery charger, because i don't wanna keep buying alkaline 9V batteries once it's too much money ... Which is the best battery for using with the MicroDAC (regarding run time)? How long...

Today i presenced a situation that the K701 huge soundstage was totally confirmed by a complete high end headphone gear noob. My cousin tried for the first time my K701. He started to listen to it and seddendly stops. I ask then what was going on. Then he described me SOUNDSTAGE even without...

I searched for Saskia Laroo and didn't find any results. Has anyone else ever had the pleasure to listen to this brilliant dutch (born in Amsterdan) trumpet player? I fill up my DAP player with a live album of her and it's fantastic. Quite contemporary, intense jazz with a sort of blues...

I was wondering if those people around you supports your headphone hobby or not? Those people includes girlfriends/boyfriends, parents, sisters/brothers and family in general and friends. Would love to know how many people have to deal with hobby complains and how many is supported by GF/BF...

Just notice that if i change my MicroDAC input selector from optical position to USB position, it still plays my music. I'm using a H120 connected to the optical in of the MicroDAC and there's no USB cable connected to the USB input. Anyone already notice this before?
