I got a 3.5" Y-cable to go from my MicroDAC output to my Woo6 and my MicroAmp (since I'm lazy, and don't like switching cables), but I noticed a lot of distortion in the bass and lower-mids.  The distortion went away when both amps were turned on, or when the amp that wasn't being used was...

Have you guys ever tested those double ended USB cables that are used for powering some portable hard drives with the Total Bithead? If so, does it increase the power to the amp when using the DAC/AMP from USB power? EDIT: Examples...

Has anyone heard both of these cans? I'm mostly interesting in soundstage thoughts, forwardness, and detail comparisons. My desire to listen to the GS1000i has been growing steadily, but since they aren't common fare around here, I figured I'd post this in a lame attempt to satiate my...

I was reading some old threads about multiple recordings, and I was thinking about why many people have multiple recordings; I myself have four versions of Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C, and my favorite of the four is Christopher Hogwood's recording on a period oboe. Sometimes I get new...

I keep looking at these on Google shopping, and I just can't figure out why they are so far under MSRP, and so far under the price of their competitors (Senn 650s, AD2000, D-5000, etc.) Is there a new model out that will cause these to go out of stock, or is it something else? Does anyone...

There's something that is puzzling me about cables that I was thinking about when my Total Bithead came in the mail a few weeks back - the supplied USB cable has "gold" connections, as do some of my headphone and mini-mini cables, however the USB ports and the headphone contacts on all my amps...

I have two main headphones that I use (AKG 271 MkII, and Senn HD590). I haven't had the the AKGs very long, but I keep taking them home from work each day because they are far, far better than the 590s in the detail and depth department. The AKGs are fantastic for the instrumentals (I listen to...

I bought some HD590s about three years ago, and after a year or so they started to make a slight rattle on the left side when certain bass frequencies played. I sent them to Sennheiser, who fixed (or replaced) them. About a year ago and a half after that, the problem came back, but then...
