    Will this work?

    Pretty sure that the output is RCA. Do you think this product would work as a phono-preamp? https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/products/Phono-Box-2-USB

    Will this work?

    I have Liquid Spark amp and an older turntable. Can I use the RCA out of the TT into the amp and listen to an album on my headphones. I am asking instead of doing as I am still hobbling around on my leg and can't get to the wires on TT easily. Will it work?

    Cell phone as a one stop for all things.

    Hey all forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I want to replace a rock boxed large hard disk with a one size fits all solution. What smart phone is out or coming that can do it all. Play flac, have reasonably large hard disk and connect via 3g and wifi. Thanks, B

    Montreal meet at the SSI, april 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

      Well the headphone incident would not have happened if the people who promised Papomaster that they were going to be there.  And Peyot keep your nose out of it you were not there, you could have been then you would have the right to comment.  I was there and when it happened Wyldrage left...

    Headfi guests at the  Montreal audio show.  First a big thank you to the powers that be at SSI for giving us a room and putting us in the brochure.   And to Jude for giving us t-shirts to wear to promote the community in a more professional/serious manner.   The best way to describe the room is...

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    Will have to see which day I can get down for.  Papomaster do you still have the contact business cards for the Grado and Senn reps.  The Grado rep said he would get us some of the top headphones this year.   Also should we contact Dr. Meier and see if he wants to send a Stepdance or Move.  ...

    Best Amp for Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 (UE TF10)

    My thoughts, after using the Stepdance for a month with my UEs.  I will whole heartedly endorse it for use with TF10s.  Mine will be coming in the fall a little later in the fall.     B

    Review: Portable amp roundup! 56 portable amps reviewed and compared - FINAL update 12-20-10 added RSA SR-71B

    I was loaned the Stepdance for a month a while back, and mostly use IEMs.  I have a set of TF10s and SF5s, and used both.  My son has a pair of Shure 210s (or something like that).  The happiest day of my summer was when Skylab said I could keep the Stepdance for another week.  The saddest day...

    Music with high quality recording

    Is it worth getting an amp for my headphones?

    Quote: When I purchased my Gary amp PA 2v2 it came with a cable about 12in long to go from headphone out to amp.  But like others have said, you will want to purchase an LOD to bypass the built in amp.  This means that you are controlling the volume via the amp, and saving the battery life...

    help me: advice for my first headphone amplifier - max $ 250

    What about a 3move from Meier audio.  A sponsor of Headfi and really good to the forum.  I have a headsix and am waiting for news on the Stepdance.  If I did not have the Headsix I would be all over the 3move.  Bonus is the built in DAC, and switchable crossfeed.      ...

    HE-6 Loaner Program

    Not interested in reviewing the HE6 cans, but wondering if my amp would qualify as a speaker output?  It is a vintage (early 1980s) Nikko 220w amp.  Laugh if you must, but it works driving my speakers.     B

    MEET IMPRESSIONS AND PICTURES - 2010 CanJam Chicago

    I think the way that one would occur in New England would be if a bunch of folk in the area got together and did like the Chicago team did.  Do a poll and see what attendence would be, then look for venue and voila the next location for CanJam. :-)

    I put in a few quotes, being a novice with equipment.  I don't know much from how to tell how much tighter something is.  But I can tell you what I liked.  Those wooden super comfy headphones at Skylab's table.  The Rudistor, the cable from Whiplash I tried out on my tf10s.  The 800s in  TTJV's...
