    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?

    On a train.

    Wow, what can I say. Since I have been involved with HF.org I have scanned what cans/iems that folk wear.

    Mumford and Sons, and loudness complaint.

    Wow, I just heard the MaS on Letterman last night and I liked what I heard. So I go off to Amazon to read the reviews there, and all 3 gave it 5 stars.

    Things that make you go hmmmm.

    Hmmm, I see an ad for a waterproof headphone here at HF. And it makes me go hmmmm. Is there some DAP that is waterproof? What would you use these things for? Or lastly is there some sort of exercise that would make your ears require waterproof IEMs, like cycling? B

    Not happy with CD and IPOD.

    I really do not like the fact that I have to control my IPOD with crappy s/w. However the CD companies do not do themselves any favours when I can not get my music to rip into Itunes. The CD in question is The Little Willies and explorer sees it as a DVD. I was able to get it to FLAC in...

    Hello all, On the way to the Porcupine tree for the 90 minute drive we took The Incident. While playing I noticed that for the first (maybe 2nd) time that the titles of the songs were displayed on the faceplate. My question is, why does this CD display and none of the other CDs I have played...

    Is soundstage more prominent on older recordings?

    Hey all, I was listening to Loaded by Velvet Underground, and am very impressed with the sound (always have loved the music). And it got me to thinking about older recordings. Was the job of the record makers to make the sound as real and placed as possible? And did the invent of CDs cause...

    Should you buy HP with purpose in mind?

    Hey all, Out of lurk mode. I just spent 30 minutes listening to some SR80s, they really are nice. Now after listening to them I purchased some 225s for a Christmas present.
