I posted earlier that the outer molding of my 3-year old TF-10s had come unglued and then lost while traveling. I contacted Logitech customer support (they now own the universal fit part of UE and the custom fit portion is a different company) and they told me that they could not send me a...

Jeff Rowland Design Group dealer Soundings sponsored a field trip for customers and friends to visit JRDG headquarters in Colorado Springs last week. We also visited Vertec Tool, maker of Rowland's incredible chassis. I drafted some blog entries about the trip and Soundings posted my notes...

Hi all, I just received the 701s back from Soloz Audio which swapped out the stock cable for 12' of Cardas with dual leads into the cups (stock is only one) with a high quality 1/4" termination (gold plated Neutrik). Here's the cost breakdown: 12' of Cardas $145 Replacement cup from AKG for...

Ok, I now have over 150-hours on my modded Pioneer Elite DV-58AV, so it's time for a review. Delivered, a new, stock 58AV will set you back around $400, give or take 40-bucks or so. As modder Ric Schultz describes, this new player has a separate power supply section for the analog stages...

A couple of months ago I moved up from the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros to the Triple.fi 10 Pros. I gained resolution in both the bass and treble. Both are great IEMs. Despite my large size, over 6' and over 200 lbs, I needed to use the smallest silicon fitting to fit in my ear. Even then they...

This is a pretty limited comparison. I relied on the reviews of others before deciding to try a Mullard/Holland GZ34 in place of my stock Sovtek 5U4G in my stock Woo Audio WA6. (I should have noted the name of the Head-Fi.org: Headphones, iPod earphones, portable audio, MP3 players, high-end...

Hi all, I really love my AKG 701s but they lack the inner detail that allows me to hear the note fundemental separate from its harmonics. I can hear this with my UE Triple.fi 10 Pros, Audio Technica W5000s and my loudspeakers (Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grands). I like the overall tonal...

This review compares three great headphones with an excellent 3-way, floor standing speaker system. During all of the review the headphones were driven by my stock Woo Audio WA6 that has between 200 and 300 hours on it. The speakers were driven by a 300 watt (into 4 ohms) Conrad Johnson CA200...

I recently rediscovered vinyl, but I started collecting LPs back in 1957 when it was the only choice. I bought my first album at 10 ("Tutti's Trumpets" because I'd just started playing trumpet. It's still an amazing album.) In the late '80s I went digital, lost track of my TT, but, thank...

I just purchased a used set of W5000s and was wondering how much break in time they need to really get musical. What changes do most note as they break in? Thanks, Dave

Anyone heard the newer Olive Opus No. 5? I'm considering a 750GB version. It seems like they've beefed up the DAC over the No. 3 and it offers reasonably Hi Rez playback levels. If it sounds good, I'll probably jump, but they don't have dealers (other than Amazon and Ebayers) so I can't go hear...

It's good to see a few vinyl-heads populating Head-Fi, going toe to toe with the digit-heads. I searched and found most of the vinyl threads centered around entry level turntables below $500. That is certainly the way to wet your feet, but I thought I'd discuss the Pro-ject a little for those...
