Don't know if this is the most appropriate forum, anyway... I'm considering purchasing one of these headphone amps. Problem is they only come with a 100V wall wart. The amp itself requires "Power source: DC12V 500mA (JEITA)" My question is would I be able to use any old 12V 500mA wall...

I have recently gotten back into head-fi and was looking to try something new. I have owned the RS-1 and HD 600 in the past. I loved them both but I wanted more of an all-rounder. I did a little research and ended up purchasing the W5000. I had two concerns with this headphone based on what I...

It has a built in DAC via optical in and is quite reasonably priced. Any reason why there isn't more uses of this amp here, especially those in the Audio-Technica camp? The reason that I ask is that I have a pair of W5000's on the way and this seems like a nice looking solid state amp for the...

The title pretty much says it all. I have a pair of HD600's that im using with my Woo at the moment, and whilst they sound great, i was wondering what other cans there are out there that match well with the Woo. I was thinking maybe some high ohmage (is that a word?) beyers, or something like that.

I'm on the hunt for a DAC to compliment my HD600's and my Woo3. I'd like something pretty neutral with nice slam to the bass and good detail. I'd also like something well made with decent build quality and craftsmanship. It will be fed from a cheapish LG DVD player. I don't want to spend much...

Just wanted to know if anyone has a smiler set-up or some experience with the NAD C542? Would it be too warm/dark sounding with my set up? I have an opportunity to get the NAD at a good price but I'm concerned about the synergy. I don't like sharp, piercing highs but I still like plenty of...

Anyone got any good suggestions?. I'd prefer to by used as I can get more for my dollar. At the moment I can get a NAD C542 for $300 and I'm pretty sure I'll go for that. Although I was curious to see if it would be better value to get a DAC like the Lite DAC AH or something similar and feed it...

Are there any online "how to's" or inexpensive kits that would allow me build a simple low cost solid state power amp for some speakers? I'm going to be receiving a Woo 3 soon and would like to be able to use the pre-amp functionality of it. It wouldn't need to be a terribly powerful amp. About...

I'm looking for cheapest place to get the HD600. J&R is the best I've found but they don't ship internationally. Any suggestions?

Anyone know of good sites that will ship to Aus?

I'm in the market for an amp for the MS2i's I plan on buying and I'm looking to spend less than $300. I have searched quite extensively on the forum but I cant find too many recommendations in this price range. I want a warm, detailed amp that has a good synergy with these cans. The amps I have...

I recently bought some old Wharfedale Linton 3 bookshelf speakers off ebay. Problem is the midrange driver on of one speakers doesn't work. Just wondering if anyone would know what the problem could be and how I could fix it? Here's some pics: Edit: I now realise that it does work but it is just...

I plan on making a 3.5mm to RCA cable that connects my sound card to my audio receiver, and would like to know if it would need to be shielded, or would some sought of 4 wire braid do the trick? The cable will be about 2m long and will going past a bunch of electrical equipment like my monitor...

I'm intrugied by this player for its inclusion of both a line out and an optical out. Does anyone have one of these and would be able to comment on the SQ?

A while ago i updated the firmware on my archos mp3 player and now the volume doesn't go nearly as high as it did before. I think i read somewhere that the french government has put a limit on the volume output on all of the DAP's that are made there. Anyway, my question is, would anybody...
