    Tech probs with site - Is there a forum?

    I've looked, but can't seem to find a forum at Head-Fi for discussing forum issues or technical problems. Am I just missing it, or does one not exist? I've got some probs with my login timing out very quickly even wit the "remember me" box checked when I login. Any help is appreciated.

    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - SACD or DVD-A?

    I wanted to get opinions on whether or not there are any giant differences between these two formats where this album is concerned. I own the DVD-A and don't think it's particularly awe-inspiring, so I'm trying to determine if the SACD version is better, worse, or identical. I'm interested in...

    Oppo 970HD question (for those who own it)

    I just got this unit and overall am very pleased with it's diverse functionality. While I've lived in the realm of DVD-A for quite a while, I wanted to expand my audio enjoyment to SACD, hence the Oppo purchase. I have a question about utilizing SACD with this unit. Is there an easy way to...

    Has anyone heard any advance information about this 2-disc CD set: Vince Guaraldi, A Charlie Brown Christmas (Monster Music High Definition Surround Sound CD SUPERDISC) Looks like it streets 11/28. I'm just wondering if this is a lame gimmick, or if there's something to their...

    Grado metal post tension problem

    I've got a pair of MS-1's that are a few months old, and one ear cup is starting to lose it's tension, or grip, on the metal post. I'll set the size for my head, and after a little while of having them on, the one side has slid down the post a bit rather than gripping it tightly. Any way to...

    Does a right angle 1/8 to 1/4 headphone adapter exist?

    I'm trying to get all of my portable equipment to fit into a particular case, and I could really use a headphone adapter like the 6" Grado 1/8 to 1/4 adapter, but with a right angle 1/8 connector rather than straight. Does such an animal exist, and if so where can I get a look at one? Thanks!

    Beyerdynamic Manufaktur custom site request...

    If anyone in the U.S. is planning on ordering a custom set of cans from Beyerdynamic via their Manufaktur site, would you be willing to include a couple extra sets of earpads for me in the order? I'm looking to get a pair of the Black Leather pads, and a pair of the Black Velour pads to...

    KSC75/KSC35 ear clip swap question

    Can the metal ear clips from the KSC75 be easily swapped onto the KSC35 housing? I'm thinking of getting a pair of KSC35's, but really like the metal clips on the KSC75's, and would perhaps like the best of both worlds. Is it a simple, painless transplant? Does it work the opposite way as well?

    DAP question about "synching" files

    Not really sure if this is even the right venue for the subject, but I'm curious to know if there is a better, smarter way to "synch" the contents on a DAP using UMS firmware with the contents on a computer's hard drive. I'm an old-school copy/paste sort of computer user, so rather than using...

    New Alessandro MS-1 owner: Burn-in question

    Just got a basically new pair of MS-1's today that only have a few hours on them according to the original owner. Can anyone who owns these and has gone through the burn-in process give me some details about how long it takes for them to reach optimum "ripeness"? Also, what kind of sound...

    For those with Rockbox and H120 using FLAC...

    I have an H120 on the way, and want to utilize Rockbox w/FLAC. I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help me with: 1) Which is the most stable build for the H120 currently based on your experiences? 2) What "skin mod" - not really sure of the lingo yet - have you found to be the best...

    DT990 owners past and present...

    If you've ever owned a pair of DT990's - old versions, recent, or pro - do you still own them, or have you moved on to something better? If you've moved on, what did you trade-in your 990's for, and why?

    DVD-Audio advanced resolution stereo question

    I understand that in order to be able to listen to the advanced resolution surround tracks on a DVD-A you need a DVD-A player, and you need to use the 6-channel analog outputs through a receiver/amp that supports 6-channel analog input. My question: In order to access the advanced resolution...

    Little Dot Micro+ and iFP-899T questions

    I'll preface my post by again citing I'm a Head-Fi n00b. I purchased an LDM+ a couple days ago (currently being prepped for shipment, and configured for unity gain), and plan to use it with my iRiver iFP-899T, and a pair of UM1's. I think I may have jumped the gun on the amp purchase...

    Source for replacement DT990 earpads?

    Hi, I'm a noob here at the Head-Fi forums, and I've searched thoroughly but can't seem to find an answer. I have an old pair of Beyerdynamic DT990's (circa 1990) that I just dusted off after a long time in storage and noticed the earpads are finally starting to give out. I'd love to replace...
