    Can Lossless Files be Shrunk?

    I'd like to move my collection to an iPhone SE, 64g.  Problem is my stuff has all been ripped lossless and takes up a lot of room. I def won't need the SQ of lossless with an iPhone using Bluetooth and can get away with a format that takes up less room.  Is this possible?

    UE Conversion to Bluetooth?

    I have an older (2007) set of UE10 Pros that I'm hoping to convert to Bluetooth. I believe there is a company called Lear(?) that may make a conversion setup but not sure how well it works or if it even exists.  Any help in making this happen would be appreciated!

    WTB-Caps for a LOD

    WTB a pair (2) of caps for a DIY LOD...prefer the classic Black Gate NX-Hi-Q 6.3v x 47uf, but if you have anything interesting you may have bought extras of let me know. Not sure if this should be in the Buy/Sell section but there's no real place for it.

    UE10 Pro Replacement Cable?

    Any suggestions for the best replacement cable  (in terms of sound) for these IEMs?   There are a gazillion cables out there for IEMs, but the UE10 Pros are a very analytical IEM so a bit of softness and coloring might be the ticket with these, so any suggestions appreciated, esp of you have...

    Amp for iMod

    Yeah, getting another iMod with an ALO dock and need to figger out the best amp for my setup. Been out of the loop for a few years so there are a lot of new amps out there and I have no idea what might work best. I'll be using it with UE-10 Pro Custom IEMs so want to stay with the...

    New iPod or...?

    I've been out of the Headfi spectrum for awhile and all my equipment except my custom IEMs has been sold off so I'm starting fresh after about 5 years and have no idea what's out there...I have thousands of songs ripped Apple lossless so want to use that format.   Any suggestions for either...

    Larocco PRII

    OK, here's one of the top, and one of the bottom.   Hopefully the glare doesn't interfere, I can take more if necessary.   Thanks, R

    Larocco PRII

    I've tried everything I can think of, and the board and all connections look perfect, so pics wouldn't help.  I'm hoping Phil will reply next week.

    Larocco PRII

    Thanks Pete...yeah, I shot a message to Triad yesterday evening so they might answer Monday.  The opamp (the one with 8 pins, right?) is removable so if that's the issue and Phil gets back to me it would be pretty simple.  Although right after I got it the batteries would not charge through the...

    Larocco PRII

    I have one of these (#165) I bought several years ago but haven't used it since about 2009. I recently op-checked it to make sure everything works because I wanted to sell it, and it wouldn't power up. I tried a couple sets of new batteries, I checked all the connections, I tried plugging it...

    iMod Dock-something nice in wood?

    I'm putting the piggybacked OIMP 6.8/Teflon .01 V-caps from a portable rig into a home rig for the iMod as, I swear to god, I got too much hassle when going thru airports!! Looked like a bomb, I guess. Anyway, I'll be using silver wire and Eichmann Ag bullets but I need a nice stand/dock to...

    Recommendations for gypsy violin music

    Many of the works of Pablo Sarasate are gypsy-like, most notably Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy Airs), but there are many more by Sarasate that are incredibly fun listening, like Carmen Fantasy. Great stuff.

    Barenaked V-caps....

    Quote: Originally Posted by manaox2 Its about a perfect mix of portability and sound IMO. Yeah, thanks manaox2. I wanted everything to fit into that case, and an extra enclosure for the caps would have been too much. The caps nestle pretty nicely in the case, although I've...

    Barenaked V-caps....

    To me, the nicest thing about DIY is being able to put together rigs you'd never spend the money on otherwise. In this case, a v-cap connector; no way could I consider dropping the coin on commercially available setups, you get the dock then have to get two interconnects, just too much for me to...

    Flourescent paint tips?

    If you did a good prep job, just leave the paint you've got on the frame and use SEM Chip Guard as a clear coat-it's designed to clear coat lower panels on cars. It comes in a can, dries pretty tough with a lightly textured finish that looks good on a bike, I did a nice two-tone fade last...

    Which Sonic/V-Cap?

    Looking to fab a v-cap dock for my 5.5G iMod. I figure I can do the work, but don't know which components to use. With so many options for the V-cap or Sonic cap (which I'll probably be using because of the price), which is the best for my application? 5.5G iMod to a PRII to UE10s. Any...

    Portable Amp for UE-10s w/variable bass

    Yo all- My rig is in my sig (well, except the 60g 4G iMod is currently morphing into a 80g 5.5G iMod with Vinnie's help after my 4G crashed and burned several times and we got tired of sending it back and forth). I was initally caught up in the hype of the UE-11 (What am I missing? Do I...

    UE-10 owners, have you compared the Super.Fi line? which should I get for the gym?

    Why not save the money, research hassle, and overall trouble by simply using the UE-10s? I use mine when I work out, sweat, etc with no ill effects or problems of any sort. UE has told me they're fine for use in the rain as well if you run/cycle/whatever when it's wet outside. They're hard...
