    Where to buy volume knobs?

    I am looking for something to put on my Supermacro other than the stock knob that it comes with. Can you give me some online sites that sell volume knobs. I know of mouser and digikey, but didn't really find anything too exciting. Thanks a lot.

    Where to buy volume knobs?

    I saw the previous post about the $500 wooden knob. Got me wondering about where can I actually buy some cool looking knobs. Of course nowhere near $500. I am talking simple $1 - $10 knobs. Are there DIY sites that sell stuff like this? Thanks a lot.

    I think I found my nirvana

    After months of reading this forum I have finally found what makes me smile. 4G iPod to Xin Supermacro with 627/637 op-amps to ETY ER-4Ps. I know there are better setups for more money. But for portability, isolation and sound quality I can't ask for more. Because of the isolation, I hear...

    What analog output is better from my CD Player?

    I use an iPod for my main source but would also like to use my CD/DVD player as well for a little better quality while at home. What would I be better off using for output. The RAC out in the back or the headphone out in the front? I assume either output would be OK but I was not sure. My player...

    ER-4: Finally got a correct seal. WOW!!!

    I have had the ER-4P for a few weeks now with little positive feeling towards them. I was getting ready to send them back to Todd. But I finally realized that I had never got a correct seal. All of a sudden I got one and WOW. The bass in these are surprisingly strong for such tiny drivers. The...

    Which 9V rechargeable now that plainview is gone?

    I have heard some talk about iPower and Maha. Would these be solid replacements for the plainview? The iPower is 250mAH and the Maha is 170mAH. Should the higher nunber be the deciding factor? Also which charger should I use? Is it always recommended to use the same brand charger as the battery...

    Compilation of portable amps

    I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to start a thread listing the existing portable amps along with their price and website link. No reviews here, just a list. I have spent so much time trying to determine what options I have and would have loved to have a single source to get a list of...

    Can someone explain the different ear tips for the Etys?

    I just ordered a pair of ER-4Ps and I know they come with foam and triple-flnage tips. But I keep reading that there are multiple sizes as well. What sizes come with the Etys and what other options for sizes exist? Thanks a lot.

    Which MP# player has the quickest scrolling through menus?

    I only have used an 4G iPod which I have now and I love the wheel. It is so quick to search through 100s of albums. I can get from the top to bottom of 280 albums in like 2 seconds. Are there other players that are quick like this, or for navigation is iPod king? I was considering switching to...

    I've got a woody: Ordered SR225 Woodied

    Larry had his prototype SR225 woodied and recabled cans for sale for $300. I figured what the hell. I have never heard the 225s stock, so I will have nothing to compare it to. But enough have prasied them, that I thought this is a good deal. I will be mating these with a Porta Corda MII. This is...

    What audio format to use with 4G iPod?

    Hi there. I am new to this world of headphones, etc. I just ordered a Porta Corda MII amp and most likely a pair of Grado 225s to mate with my iPod. Currently all my music is encoded with lame encoding alt-preset-standard. I am sure that even though this is the best encoding for MP3 format, that...
