This is awesome Currawong! Thanks :)   Do you know any audiophile music player for Windows?

My 4 yr old Chaintech card started to hiss intermittently so I figure out it's time to replace it. I've purchased the AV-710 based on the recommendation of Head-Fi ers here and it's an excellent card :-)   I've checked around the web apparently Chaintech stopped producing this card?  ...

How about D-EJ885 ?   http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/d-ej885

just wanted to go retro

nobody uses a portable cd player anymore?

Firstly I'm a newbie here regarding audio stuff so bear with me :-)    I'm looking for a portable CD player (the one that you can carry around), budget is about $100,  can go up to $200, if it's a good value for money.    Again I don't know much about this area, so the 'default' choice...

I've searched the threads but nothing substantial that I can gather info. I have a MS-1 which I quite like, but tbh I like the wireless convenience So I would like to know if there's any decent wireless headphone out there? Budget is $500 if that helps.

I've got my MS-1 for about a year now and it is a great headphone, however the jack has now gone broken (sort of half working). What's would be a good step up from MS-1? (budget <=US$300) Is MS-2 any good? FYI I mostly listen to rock and hip hop music (U2, Powderfinger, REM, Black Eyed...

I'm working in a night shift IT Helpdesk and I have only one other colleague working with me on that time. It's 11 hour shift, just two of us, and not much task to do so we quickly run out of conversation. Plus I'm not much of a talker, more a listener. Do you talk a lot with your...

so has a date been set yet? ps: why sometimes I don't receive email notification when someone posted a reply? (I am subscribed to this thread), and I've checked the junk mail folder.

I'm interested just starting out though so I'll be bringing my MS-1 and PA2V2.

It's a bit scary reading the tinnitus poll threads here and the knowledge that it can't be cured.. So, my questions: A) Is there any way I can make sure that I'm listening at a safe level other than buying an SPL meter? If I have to buy an SPL meter, is there an SPL meter that...

Do you guys use any water filter for your tap water at home? Does it actually make any difference?

Wow so many new stuff to learn here.... I've come across a few threads discussing about ASIO and kernel streaming? What are these, are they some kind of Winamp plugins to improve the sound quality?

Do you use Winamp Equalizer? Which preset do you choose?

I keep reading posts about modding MS-1 with Sennheiser 414 pads. Is this for comfy factor only? (as I found the MS-1 pads to be pretty comfy) Does it make any difference to the sound quality?

I emailed Gary and he does ship to Australia

I have an Alessandro MS-1 and want to buy PA2V2 []http://www.electric-avenues.com/amplifiers.html] but Gary doesn't ship outside US Any suggestion of an alternative amp from a company that ships to Australia?

What is your fastest and slowest delivery time? My first ever (and still the only) delivery was Alessandro MS-1, it arrived in 7 days, which I think is quite reasonable.
