Mr. Jude Mansilla would like to host another meet at his office in Livonia. I offered to help move it forward by starting up this thread to gauge interest.   We don't have any concrete date for it yet, but if you are interested in attending, please drop a line and let us know what dates work...

I'm looking for personal experiences from people using M2Tech devices like the HiFace or Evo on Mac OS X. I've read of flakiness like kernel panics and needing to have the device plugged in when the Mac is booted up. Is any of this still true?   I'm thinking of getting one, but I really...

Someone on the forum asked me to compare the ESW10JPN to the JH13, so I decided to just share my thoughts with a wider audience. The ESW10JPN, with its rich, wood cups, is a beautiful headphone. It is very light and has a grip on the head that is just right. The supraaural design does fatigue...

Whoa... the future is now! Quote: A new generation of bone-conduction hearing aids have audio inputs for an MP3 player or phone headset. Wait until this goes bi-directional and allows its owner to start recording the ambient sound to a little drive -- just try to ban recording equipment...

So I've recently upgraded my transportable rig a bit, and I wanted to share some pics and give a shout-out to a great head-fier who deserves it. From a suggestion, I inquired with Randy of BrainSalad Cables about making me a mini-to-mini interconnect for my new rig. He offered to build me one...

A couple folks suggested I post here to bring my thread to HR's attention. I'm not really sure what good it will do as a HR rep has already confirmed a hiss through very sensitive headphones, and a couple other head-fier's have also confirmed the findings... All the same, though, I think some...

I recently picked up the Ultra Micro Amp to pair with my Ultra Micro DAC thinking it would be a good synergy. It's a totally decent sounding amp, but only if you're using headphones that are less sensitive. When I plug my Shure SE530's or UE11's into this amp, there is quite a noticeable...

Hello fellow Head-fi'ers! Today is the day Mozilla will be releasing the final, gold version of everyone's favorite browser, Firefox 3.0. In addition, they are encouraging everybody to go download the browser in an attempt to set a world record for the most software downloaded in a 24-hour...

Have any of you ever had the Predator suddenly lose its connection to the computer? On two Mac laptops (one MBP, one G4) the sound suddenly goes to an unorganized mess of static & noise. It seems OSX then switches over to the internal sound device. On my linux PC, the sound goes silent, and...

Someone at my office is trying to sell some audio equipment from his home theater. 2x B&W 601's 2x B&W 602's "matching" center channel (model CC6) Denon receiver, Marantz DVD player... Velodyne HGS 10 BG Subwoofer I'm not really trying to build a home theater, though. I just want some good...

So I need an amp for my Edition 9's. I'm having a really hard time deciding between the NX-02 and the RPX-33. I figure that going with the NX-02 will mean: smaller form factor blue face plate? (con; I'd rather the black...) slightly colder presentation? (prolly con) lack of preamp out...

Update 2007-08-26: Posted pics of the whole rig on page 5. I've had my Edition 9's for 10 days now, and I'm just so happy with them. I'm just now approaching the 200 hr mark on them, with a few hundred hours to go before they'll be considered fully cooked. Their sound, while still...

Can anybody tell me if this DAC will be recognized (USB) by Mac or Linux? Those are my OS's, and I'd like to be sure it will run on both. I haven't really been able to find any info on this . . . Thanks!

I'm seriously having second thoughts on selling the D2000's too soon. I knew they were something special, but I became frustrated with the headband perhaps a bit too quickly. In their smallest setting, the cups droop a bit low on my ears -- just low enough to really cause it to bother me. I...

I've only been into this Head-Fi stuff for a little while so far, but I've really enjoyed these forums in the few months I've been reading them. (I do feel a bit addicted to the "New Posts" link.) First, I got the Tomahawk/E500 combo. I don't think many will dispute that it is a really great...
