Writers in Head-Fi
I was wondering my fellow Head-Fi(s) - how many of your are writers - or just those who write. Anything really. I'm often inspired by music to write, and by the diversity of music we hear in this forum, I can only imagine that others are too. So, how many of you write? Prose, poetry - or...- vic1890

Any Pipe Smokers out there? (or Cigar lovers..)
As the title goes - any headfiers here indulge in this lovely custom? And if you do, for how long have you? And what kind of pipes/cigars/tobacco do you like? And when do you usually settle for a smoke?- vic1890

Airport Express vs native mac optical out?
Hi guys, I use my macbook's optical out to my dac, I tried using the AE as well, but I found, after many times AB-ing that the optical out on the macbook sounds fuller, while the AE sounds a little, thin. And I connect a short ethernet wire to the AE to transfer digital music to it...- vic1890

A question about the Van Del Hul Optocoupler mk2 cable
I find the plugs at the end of these cables - whether it's toslink or miniplug are unscrew-able, but the strange thing is, once you do unscrew it a bit, the actual glass thread within the cable starts sticking out nakedly and isn't reversible unless you push it back in with some considerable...- vic1890

Some help on choosing a DAC guys (for Senn HD650/GS Solo)?
Firstly, I'm not quite sure where this post should be - here, or in the headphone forum, as it has to do with a DAC as much it has to do with my headphones (Senn HD 650) I'm using a GS Solo (intro) to amp it, and a hopeless Apple dock and the 5th generation ipod as source. It quickly becomes...- vic1890

Other Passions you head-fiers have? (and a little intro of myself)
I haven't really been too active in this site, often just reading more than posting - although all the reviews and opinions that I've read have been so helpful and valued - and that shall change now. I was so glad to see so many photographers here - some extremely talented, it amazed me. I'm...- vic1890

Will the GS Solo improve much with burning in? Owners help..
I'm using the aforesaid amp (without the PSU-1) with the senn 650. Seems like a lovely combo. I got it used, but the owner barely used it, stating a mere 50 hours of use, collectively for both the headphones and the amp. I read at rock grotto that the older Make 3 solo really shone after a...- vic1890

Graham Slee Solo and Senn HD 650/Ultrasone 750 Pro
i know this combo has probably been spoken of many times, but I just need some reassurance from the good folks over here. I spent quite a bit on this - couldn't quite afford it really, even though it was at a bargain, but did nonetheless - did I make the right choice? Also, I have a pair of...- vic1890

Calling tube amp experts that have experiences with Ultrasones
I've tried looking for various parts of this forum to find the info i need but to no avail, either it doesn't exist (highly unlikely) or its just buried and forgotten by most. However this is the thing: I got a pair of Proline 750, and considering to pair it up with a tube amp, but I have...- vic1890

Best amp for Ultrasone Proline 750 bellow $300?
Guys, Do forgive me if I sound rather illiterate in this matter, but I'm a newbie here. I just recently procured the Proline 750 - after so much research, mainly from this forum - and am amazed with how it sounds. BUT, and as I understand this is going to eat my wallet, I practically know...- vic1890
