I have the original Earmax amp. Does anyone know how to open the unit? 

I'm eager to find out too. I emailed AudioAdvisor and they told me the sound is comparable to 740C and definitely a step down from 840C. But you never know until you audition it yourself.

newbie question. I just installed Foobar+Asio4all and played it through USB into my DAC. Does it pass through my soundcard at all?

Hi guys I just bought a new DAC and it has a USB input. I plug it into my computer and loaded my ALC files with itunes. I'm kinda surprise to find out that I could control the volume through itunes. Please correct me if I'm wrong, isn't USB work like SPDIF/ optical out where no volume control...

Hi guys One of the thin pad on my right is torn and I could see inside the driver. Sennheiser sells the complete replacement pad for USD 40.35/pair but I just need the thin pad. My 2 large round pad are still in very good condition. Does anyone has any good advice if I can get anything...

Yes, I'm talking about the power cord. Here's the spec: Voltage rating: 300 volts Max. Amps @ 120V: 30 I hope it wouldn't fry my amp.

Hi guys, I have Signal Cable made me a power cord. I'm using it now with my amp. Soon, I'll be moving back to my country where they use 240V. Can I still use my PC without any issue? I'm thinking of just using a cheater plug. Thanks.

I'll go with Music Hall Cd25 . But that's my system and $0.02.

Hi guys, All of the equipments that I have now are using 110V (US). I'm planning to move back to my country where they use 220-240V. Any good suggestion for a transformer? Will that affect the sound at all if I add a transformer? I'm worried about noise and etc. Thanks

To be honest with you guys, when I switch on the upsampling mode in my 963SA player, there is a sence of brightness and I don't like it. I still prefer Music Hall CD25 for redbook CD playback. That's just my opinion. Also, it depends on your system as well.

I have a question. For stereo CD playback on the 963SA, should I connect my ouput at the multichannel post? I see there are 2 sets of L/R output, one for the multichannel and one for the video. Also, do I need to configure anything if I were to play 2 channel stereo music? I notice the sound...

Hi guys, I'm wondering where I could get SACD titles online. Thanks.

My friend has a Rega2000 and I have a Music Hall CD25. I just got the 963SA yesterday and will be comparing these players with one another. Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated.

$390 including shipping??? man...I paid $399 for the player alone and $10 for shipping. Well, I guess next time I have to ask for discount or something.

But, where can I grab SACD 1000 for $400?

Hi guys, I'm about to place an order for a Sony 222ES SACD player. Any thoughts or better suggestions? I haven't listen to it before. The reason why I would buy it is because it has a changer. Also, SACD doen't seem important to me. Let me know of any alternatives besides this Sony. I...

Hi guys, Anyone own this? How does it sound? I'm looking for a warm sounding CD player. Thanks.

IMHO, solid state amp has better bass than tube amp. However, I like the midrange produced by the tube.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a CD player right now and come into these 3 players: a.) Sony 222ES (changer + SACD) b.) Music Hall CD25 (HDCD) c.) Cambridge Audio 500SE ( nothing special but have good reviews) I'm interested in Sony since it has a changer and SACD playback. However, my...

Hmm.....I have both Sony 777 and DE-J01 and I like DE-J01 more. Of course, 777 has a better headphone out but DE-J01 has a very good line out.....better than 777 line out IMHO. (Both through my CMOY amp and Senn's 580. ) The strange thing is when I plug in my Sony V6 into the headphone out of...

I'm wondering how difficult it is to make my own interconnect especially from RCA to mini plug. I never make one before but I can solder. BTW, is there any guideline available about making our own IC?

Well, that sounds like a very good idea to me. But, I want to make one interconnect for my portable setup also. Any idea? BTW, when making Interconnect, should I use 30 gauge wire or thicker one? thanks

Hi there! I'm wondering if someone could let me know what is the cheapest way to make myself a good quality interconnect from the source to amp (mini-mini). I heard about homegrown audio silver wire but I'm not sure which one to buy. What is the "better than average" mini plug that is...

I don't own one but my housemate has it. I think the Rio Volt sounds pretty good. It's the best MP3/CD player outhere now. Sound quality isn't bad at all although it has a weak output. One more thing is it has a weak battery life. But then, I think it wouldn't be a problem if he has a 1800 maH...
