I've decided to have a go at sorting out my Sennheiser HD-800 headband and earpads once and for all (hopefully). Looking about on Head-Fi I was surprised that few others had posted with similar issues to the one I have experienced for the last couple of years: the deterioration of the material...

I'm after a litte advice. For years I've been using Benchmark DACs and their internal HPA2 headphone amp. I've tried various external amps in this time as I've considered upgrades, but never really heard much of an improvement in quality as a result. That's not to say I can't hear a difference...

I've been using a pair of Unique Melody custom Shure SE530 with a Benchmark DAC1. Sounds great, but the Shures are far too sensitive for the HPA2 attenuation steps. I presume the cheapest way around this is to make a cable between the Benchmark and my Shures with a resistor in it? Is this...

Am having loads of trouble finding a decent tagging application for OS X. The closest I have found to what I'm after is TriTag: feedface.com/software/TriTag but it is lacking in features. I would love something to tag both MP3 and Apple Lossless, but it would be great if it can handle other...

Not sure if they're recording, touring, or just seeing how things go. Anyone care? Here is the official statement: Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all...

Trying to find a supplier of decent quality female 3.5mm (1/8") plug. Have found a few crappy ones, but nothing of decent quality... links appreciated

Wasn't sure where to put this... but here seems most appropriate I spent last night drinking Scotch & listening to music. Put simply, it was good. I am fortunate (and financially deficient) enough to have a few music systems. Every now and then my brain decides to kick into gear, and I...

This is how Portishead have released video of 7 tracks from Third - not exactly Hi Fidelity, but impressive nontheless... Portishead in Portishead // Current Current TV presents an exclusive premiere of British trip-hop phenomenon Portishead's studio performance as they unveil seven songs...

I use iTunes to manage a few different libraries on two machines (and various iPods). There is a feature common to many media players (and I'm sure it is, or at least used to be avaliable in iTunes) which allows you to set the player to "auto update" its library by "watching" a specific folder...

Forgive me if this has been raised elsewhere - I've never seen anything about it. I have a range of 5 different iPods ATM, which all have the same 'problem'. I have noticed than when I turn an iPod off, it doesn't seem to actually turn off in some cases. If have a paid of headphones...

Just curious if there is any info or advice out there on how to go about silencing a Mac Pro. Not a seriously noisy machine anyway, but if it can be improved... why not eh?

I have ordered my Pico and am finally organising an iMod. I have a pair of Ety ER4P IEMs that I plan to use with the rig. I am most likely going to purchase a ER4P to ER-4S conversion cable, but would like to know if there are cheaper alternatives (that maintain quality). Is there any...

I have recently been using Macbook Pro & iTunes via an Airport Express for the majority of my audio output, but before that used Windows XP & Foobar via an EMU 1212m card running patchmix. I found that running the PC setup I could see in patchmix that the signal I was outputting was clipping...

Have decided to bite it and go back to iTunes. There are many reasons I didn't want to, but for me, the reasons I should outweighed them - so it's done. I have everything in Apple Lossless. I would love to know if there is a simple way to "shuffle fill" or "auto fill" an iPod photo (in the...

I'm going to purchase a DAC1 from the US but am in Australia (uses 240volt power). On their site you have the option of purchasing as 100-120 volts (US) or 200-240 volts (Australia). So my question is if I purchase a 100-120 volt version, other than the cable for power, what do I need to...

In the process of purchasing an Emu 1212m to setup a computer as source arrangement. My PC is not in the same room (sort of just around the corner about 5 or 6 meters away). I am trying to figure out the best way to connect the PC and amp via soundcard. I think my options are quite limited -...

Just after a little advice, but isn't everyone? I know this is similar to other threads posted (And yes; I know most of those start with a comment along those lines too... ) Currently using a Sony 5200ES as a home theater receiver and have a pair of Senn HD650. Sounds great together, but I...
