Hey Guys, I currently use a Behringer UMC404HD USB audio interface for a AT2035 microphone, JBL 305P MKII speakers, and DT990 Headphones. This is plugged into a desktop PC (Win 10, i7-8700K, 32GB RAM, 4TB Storage, etc.) All works great. My question is, if I buy a Schiit stack, can I also plug...

Many people have asked me about my iPod stand. I purchased the stand from SACD-Man (Craig Sanborn), owner of Whiplash Audio. When I inquired, he sent the photo above and I chose the Lacewood model. The build quality is top-notch and the photo really doesn't do the stand justice. It's much...

Hello all. About 24 hours ago I received my SR-71A amp from Ray Samuels. And while I know this amp is no where near burned-in, I had to let someone know just how good this amplifier is and how happy I am with my purchase. I could easily use many tired words of praise from an audiophile's...

We've lost another jazz legend. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/26/ar...26griffin.html If you ever got the chance to hear him, you'd know why they called him "The Little Giant." He was absolutely incredible. What a sad loss...

I really enjoy the album "GusGus vs. T-World." Can anyone recommend similar artists or albums? Thanks in advance for your help!

A question to all head-fiers. Do you listen to your music or do you listen to your equipment? I've come to the realization that my nightly listening sessions are more for A/B comparisons of equipment than for truly enjoying the music. I listen to the same songs over and over through...

Okay people, California motorists will be required to use a hands-free device to talk on a cellphone starting July 1 under a new traffic safety law. I need advice on which bluetooth headset to buy. It will be paired with a Blackberry Pearl and an iPhone. I'm currently looking at the new...

Which is the cleaner signal path on an portable headphone amp - Low Gain or High Gain? In other words, is the "Low Gain" setting the straight path and then circuitry added to increase the gain to create the "High Gain" setting? Or Vice Versa? Also, is distortion added automatically with the...

So I just joined Head-fi in January and I can't tell you the number of times I start to read a thread about some great music someone recommends, then click over to Amazon or CD Universe and start loading up the cart! Heck, I've spent so much on new music I can't afford any new gear! Oh well, I...

Hello all, Anyone know where I can purchase iPod dock connector plugs (male 30 pin) for making my own LOD? I know of Ridax and SparkFun. Looking for other sources. Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Hey guys, I'm new around here. On an iPod, is using a LOD always better than a mini to mini cable. Are there any advantages to using a mini to mini?
