I just finished building the y1 full++ F configuration.  However, it's not working properly.   After building the y1 I went through the initial check page on the AMB y1 page.  I have an old fluke 12 that isn't very responsive, and couldn't get resistance measurements for step 2 of the...

I've decided to build myself a y2.  Of course, to do so, I need to first put together a y1.  I plan on building the F configuation of the y1 (Full++ version) but am unsure if what steps I can skip since I'm going to mate the y1 with the y2.  I've read all the instructions on AMB's site, but the...

I'm just about to start my Grateful Dead collection, and I'm looking to purchase a few of their CDs. However, some of their more popular CDs seem to have multiple pressings (see below): Amazon.com: Live / Dead: Grateful Dead: Music Amazon.com: Live/Dead: The Grateful Dead: Music Amazon.com...

About a year ago I had my 840c sent in for repair (broken transport) and today while I was moving the 840c for cleaning purposes, I heard some rattling inside. So I popped the cover open and found this... Thing is, I don't see any heatsinks in the 840c that are the same size as the one...

I'm looking for piano music to study to (instrumental), preferably of this nature: Piano Sample Any particular artists you prefer?

Sometimes when I play music from my laptop via winamp through to my Predator using ASIO4All, the music will crackle, stop playing in winamp (although the icon in my taskbar on ASIO4All shows that music is playing). To fix this problem, I have to open ASIO4All and then close the program. Does...

My 840c is starting to skip when it tries to play CDs, so I'm guessing there's too much dust on the laser. Is there a guide available as to how to clean the laser?

My first project, the Mini³, was just completed last night. I'm wondering where I should venture off from here. I don't want to shoot too high (like a B22) obviously, but I'm not sure what would be an appropriate next step. Any suggestions?

In iTunes, it shows that 12.84GB of my ipod's space is taken up by "other" files. I have no movies, videos, pictures, etc. on the ipod, just ALAC files. What is taking up all this extra space?

I've decided to build another rig to accompany me to college as it is too cumbersome to bring a CD player, desktop amp, and all my CDs to a dormitory. This amp will NOT be used for portable headphones, only full sized headphones (W5000s, perhaps a HD650 or HFI 780 in the future). I need a...

I'm just curious how many people are using a power condtioner, UPS, surge protector, etc. vs. plugging directly into the wall. So, which do you do?

Has any other Rush fans ordered this CD yet? I got my copy today, and am listening to it as I speak. The MoFi edition is definitely an improvement over its remaster. Bass response seems to be much cleaner/faster. This is a must for Rush fans Rush - Permanent Waves Ultradisc II™ 24 KT Gold...

I know some head-fi members have used the PS Audio soloist in-wall conditioner, but I haven't read anything about the Power Port. Does it actually improve SQ? Worth $50? If you're going to reply to this thread and tell me that power is power and the power port has no effect on the "end...

I'm looking for a general list of CDP's in the $1200-1600 range (prefer new, but CAN be used..arcam, naim, ayre, rega, azur, etc.). I'm looking for something that will give me real sweet/smooth mid range and a well defined bass (not necessary lots of it though). Lots of detail and a large...

It's been a long process finding the perfect stand for the W5000s. Banana stands don't provide enough "hook," and other stands hold the W5000s awkwardly or unstably. Well, as you may know, Audio Technica released their AT-HPS500 stand recently. And, I decided to take one for the team, so here it...

I would appreciate it if Gov't Mule fans could list their favorite Gov't Mule albums. I'm just starting to get into their music

I know that the manual says "A" mimicks the human ear and "C" should be used for musical measurements, but I'm still curious as to which weighting head-fiers use.

I've decided its time for me to purchase a new can. I'll be honest here; I've never heard any headphones outside of the few I've owned (HD650 and 595 are the only ones worth mentioning). Given my current lifestyle, I am not able to attend head-fi meets so it is very hard for me to audition new...

I read through a few equipment rack threads, and I've decided upon these 4 (the problem with recent threads is that they do not compare them; owners are only giving suggestions): Lovan Classic I http://www.standsandmounts.com/index...OD&ProdID=5623 Lovan Matrix...

Recently I've been searching for Tungsol 5998s to accompany my SP Extreme. I came across some TS JAN 5998s. Usually these have white writing on their bases, but the 5998s I've stumbled upon are labeled with green writing. Is there a difference? My first guess is that the green labeled bases were...

Has anyone noticed the pre-ordering information on DT's site? http://dreamtheater.net/news_dreamth...hp#releaseinfo It lists that the special edition album can be bought here: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinf...c&frm=lk_itchy The album above is listed as a CD...so I'm a little...

I've searched the forums for other topics on power conditioners and so far I've had my eye on the Furman PL-Plus series II http://www.furmansound.com/product.p...&id=PL-PLUS_II Does anyone have other suggestions around the <$200 price range? (my headphone home rig listed in my signature will...

Usually I don't make impression threads (as the hardware I buy has been reviewed/criticized/praised a countless number of times on this forum), but since there's not that much information on the Extreme (since it is a relatively new amp) I'd thought I'd make my first impression/review thread...

My friend asked me which built-in DTS decoder he should use on his Harmon Kardon receiver on his 6.1 speaker system (for movies). His receiver includes the following decoders: DTS Neo:6 DTS decoder Dolby Digital Dolby 3 Stereo DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 Dolby Pro Logic II DTS-ES Discrete 6.1...
