I currently have a fantastic vinyl/tube based system to use my headphones with. My headphones in order of most use are HE1000 V2 Stealth, HD6xx, and HD580 original. Now, I’m looking for a desktop DAC amp all in one that I can use for playing music from the likes of Qobuz, etc. I’m not...

My current headphone system consists of the following: Sennheiser HD6xx Quicksilver Audio Headphone amp PS Audio Phono Modded Technics SL1210MK2 Modded DL103r Overall, this system is very enjoyable to listen to. The sound is well balanced and produces a good amount of detail. While this system...

I don't have any experience with external DAC's and am just starting to learn about them.   I have an old Rotel RCD-950 cd player.  I bought it new back in 1998.  It still sounds pretty good.  But as upgraditis goes, I'm curious if adding an external DAC will offer a significant...

Curious if anyone here has heard the reissue of Le Secret?  I have not heard the original either but went ahead and ordered the reissue vinyl based on how much I like their latest album.  I will be waiting anxiously to hear it.  I thought maybe some others on this forum may have already heard it...

As you're probably aware, they are currently working on their new album.  But they can be so secretive that they don't always make their fans aware of new releases available for purchase.   So, I beg of all you Agalloch fans.  Whoever among us first discovers that the album is available...

I've got all the Maiden albums I like on vinyl already and am pleased with the sound of those.    But I also want to have Somewhere In Time on cd.  I used to own it on the US version of the mini vinyl replica cd which had the same terrible mastering as the 1998 remasters. I see there is the...

Are there any other albums that might be similar?  I've listened to samples from the other Immortal albums and none of them really struck me as "must-buy" albums like At The Heart of Winter.  I can't seem to get enough of this album.

I recieved my copy of this today with much excitement.  I've been wanting to listen to this since it came out and I finally decided to just buy it.  It's actually priced very reasonably considering there are 27 tracks on it!   Now, the music is a no brainer for me.  As far as I'm concerned...

I've got an urge to upgrade the system and am considering two options. My headphone system consists of a Technics SL1210 MK2 turntable, Denon 160 cartridge, Cambridge Audio 640c phono preamp, Little Dot MK3 headphone amp, and Senn HD580 phones. I'm thinking of either adding an upgrade to...

Anybody seen this new DVD release? Is it worth getting? I've seen posts by Haughm himself that make me doubt the quality of it.

So I finally have a bluray player since I got the PS3. What are some stand out examples of dvd-a's that I could get to test this capability of the player?

From Which of This Oak picture vinyl lp with poster. Mine is already on it's way! I already have these tracks on cd but just couldn't resist having them on vinyl. In case anyone here is interested- Eisenwald Tonschmiede

I usually don't buy really pricey vinyl but today I found myself unable to prevent pushing the buy button on the Porcupine Tree- Lightbulb Sun limited edition colored vinyl. I'm hoping it's worth the $55!!! Yikes! Anybody else preorder this or the black vinyl version?

I've read on here that some people have replaced the stock LD2+ tubes with these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=015 I'm just wondering if this yielded any improvement in sound quality? I'm still using the stock tubes without problems but see the other ones on ebay and...

I have the little dot 2+ amp and have been happy with it's synergy with my Senn 580's for about a year now. However, I'm getting curious about better amps and starting to consider an upgrade. Especially now that the LD MKIII is out and making good impressions. However, I don't want to limit...

I'm in need of nice looking yet stable yet affordable audio rack for my second audio system. This system is my turntable/phone pre/tube headamp/headphone system. I'm seriously considering ordering the Sanus AFA rack from audioadvisor.com since it seems to fit my needs...

I recently discovered the music of Riverside. What a brilliant band. If you like Porcupine Tree then this band cannot be ignored. I'm wondering if anybody knows if any of their albums are available on vinyl? Especially the album "Out of Myself".

I've been wanting to hear what good quality cables would sound like since right now my headphone system consists of the following Technics SL1210 > Denon DL160 > Cambridge Audio 640p phono stage > STOCK CABLES > little dot 2+ > Senn HD580's (w/650 cables). I want to replace the stock...

I just got my first Mogwai album today. It's their latest one called Mr. Beast. I'm extremely impressed! I'll definitely be buying more of their albums...escpecially Young Team. I bough Mr. Beast on vinyl and it's grrrrreat!

I've been buying various music based on recommendations on this site and another site. Almost all of them have been great recommendations. One recent one that I got was King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King. I had only heard this band once before when they opened for Tool. At that...

Do any of you know if and when this album will be released on vinyl? I hope so and hopefully they don't make it a picture disc.

I have a LD2+ that I use with my Senn 580's with good results. This amp was my intro to tubes. I'm now considering stepping up a bit and moving to the next stage by getting another amp. I'll move my LD2+ for my office setup. But for my home setup, what would be a definite step up but still not...

I just received my new copy of Opeth: Ghost Reveries on vinyl today and all I can say is WOW! This record is amazing in both musical content as well as recording. If you spin vinyl and think this band may even be slightly interesting to you, get this record and you will not be disappointed...

I'm in the slow yet steady process of building up my vinyl collection. So far I have a very solid collection. I recently heard a little bit of Mars Volta and liked what I heard. I'm wondering what would be the best LP to start with?
