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.- jriems

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.

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...- jriems

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!- jriems

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?- jriems

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...- jriems

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...- jriems

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...- jriems

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?- jriems

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...- jriems

Hi, I'm a noob here at the Head-Fi forums, and I've searched thoroughly but can't seem to find an answer.
