I picked a pair up for a steal used, about half the going rate. I realize i need a good amp and I decided to dust off my old C&C Box XO pocket amp. The battery is still strong, and I'll be damned if it doesn't do pretty much everything the HD800s needs. Now using this on my desktop feels weird...

Some of my buddies started a podcast and I am just trying to spread the word. http://www.thenydusnetwork.com/ The site is under construction but the forums and FB fan page are up. New episode up every week. The hosts talk about news answer questions and give advice and tips on playing online one...

I have lengths of 24 and 28 gauge solid core silver wire. I need to insulate it. Where do I buy the insulation from? I found one site and i couldn't order.

I recently bought a pair of AKG K601 and I love their sound but they are power hungry too much so for my tastes. I can listen to them at home but I want a pair of big cans that I can take to work. So I am thinking of selling these and getting something else. What is out there with detail in the...

I have had them for about 3 hours and I am falling madly in love with them. I haven't experienced a soundstage like this before. I love my 580's but these may yet win my heart. I really can't review as I am not so good with the terminology but needless to say these cans are incredible. They pair...

Onda VX747 My only problem is I have heard nothing good about the sound wuality cause it I guess doesn't have a dedicated sound chip it uses the Ingenic JZ4730 which I can't find much about in english. Anyone have one of these or is there a better player that supports as many audio and video...

I have a pair of Sextetts with the white diaphrams. They are somewhat beat up but work fine, the pads aren't original has the original cable one of the metal end pieces is missing and AKG is worn off the top of the phones and the elastics have no elasticicity left. I like them but I really want...

I found and old Onkyo DX-702 CD Player. It's analog outputs dont work and its digital is very flaky cuts in and out. Is it worth getting this thing fixed or should I just get rid of it? Looks like a nice CDP and the fact it had a digital out 16 years ago must say something for its quality.

A friend of mine started a website with some other people that has alot of old public domain movies that are streamed from the site. Its all free just some ads on the side of the page. But its pretty sweet and there are actually some good movies on there. Check it out if you like it spread the...

So I was browsing ebay and found an auction for 8 pairs of these headphone and won them for $53 shipped. The radio station my dad used to DJ at had them. These were the first decent headphones I ever heard and how I learned the name Sennheiser. Got them yesterday and made my money back off...

I have an MES60V with a broken LCD I got for free but I cant for the life of me find anywhere that sells replacements. Can you guys help?

I have a pair of these I got in a box of headphones and the right side is not working so my question is should I replace the cable going around the band or should I do a dual entry with new cable? Also what kind of cable do people use to recable? I have heard Canare Starquad but where do i get...

A friend of mine is looking for a pair of headphones. I am frantically trying to dissuade him from getting any noise cancelling ones as I think more of the cost goes into the NC portion of the phones than it does the driver and enclosure design making them sound inferior to normal cans at the...

All the wars between the skeptic and the enlightened audio enthusiasts has got me thinkin. If I tell myself my HD580's are HE90's will they begin to sound like the HE90's? Discuss

Saw them for the second consecutive year last night and they just deliver an awesome show. They added quite a few elements to their lighting These crazy led panels above and on the side of the stage. Then they came out and said welcome aboard the enterprise. Which I found funny cause I noticed...

So i put Rockbox on my 80 gb 5.5 gen iPod I love the interface its simple and customizable and the graphic eq makes worlds of difference in comparison to the Apple presets. I however suffer from problems with it. I got it to read the iTunes imported library but when i try to go play all it...

Found some 6 foot HDMI 1.3 cables at Walmart made by a company called Metop games, they have gold plated ends and braided sleeving around the cable. Well I thought they looked pretty nice so I checked the price and voila $15.00 so I bought the 3 I saw on the shelf. They seem to be pretty rugged...

Dr.Dac2 Well I don't know anything about this but it caught my eye looking for Stax stuff on amazon japan. Only sites I can find are Japanese and Korean the one i linked seems to have super detailed pictures. It runs for about $400 US but looks pretty nice to me. Just curious on how you DAC/AMP...

So I was at a local electronics place that sells high end audio B&W/Magnepan and the like. Well the salesman was telling me they were going to start carrying JL Audio, Confused cause they have always been Car audio he told me they are making home subs and he said they set one up in the store to...

I am amazed at how well my HD 580's reproduce bass. I am listening to Power Supply on them and the bass is clean. My subs in my car dont even touch most of these lower frequencies. If you can find Power Supply's Subwoofer Excursion test it might be a pretty good test for bass on headphones. I...

So a buddy of mine bought a pair of MS-2's on the recommendation of these boards, well you guys said to get alessandro's and he liked the way the MS-2's were built. Well I am glad he didn't get less, I was at a local store that actually carries Grado's up to 325i's so I asked to demo a few of...

This Car has to sound incredible Most of the components are Sweedish Companies, but all of his wiring is Cardas. He has paid massive attention to detail it is pretty sweet.

Auction I won I really wanted just the 570's but I wonder if the pads for the Sony's are replaceable? The Optimus' are bound to be decent as they are rebadged Koss. Jeez I need a special rack for all my cans.

Well I was at a local electronics store and was able to unplug all the demo headphones and plug them into my ipod for some proper demos. So i set my ipod to play my favorite song to demo any headphone or loudspeaker which is Signe off Eric Clapton's Unplugged. The Headphones I tried were...

I wonder if anyone has any reviews or opinions on the ZY or Dowin Senn cables from Head-direct, they seem like a good deal but that tends to mean they aren't very good. Just wanted some feedback from you guys.
