YouTube - "Hello" demo at Ramseur Records HQ I found this video on youtube of a good little carolina based folk group that has some videos recorded with the Grado Holo Mic (as I've named it). The spatial cues are insane on this video. The mic SOUNDS SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, even with youtube...

Does anyone else here have this album. If so what do you think about it? Personally I think it is a really solid album, and my personal favorite of any of Spencer Krugs work. There is only one song on the album that doesn't really wow me, and for an album to accomplish that is always impressive...

Pretty much like the title says, what is the cheapest complete system that you would consider hifi? Iems, speakers headphones it doesn't matter. and post a price too, thanks.

I've read as much as humanly possible on iems in the past month, and I'm on the verge of insanity. I've decided I don't have the patience for customs, so I only want recomendations pertaining to universals. I will be using an ipod as source and don't plan on using an amp for now, but will in the...

Would it be possible or practical to zapfilter a keces dac? I don't know much about the zapfilters but they seem to be getting rave reviews. Anyone tried this?

Due to the limited information on the dac-301 from AudioDIYLab - News. I know bperboy has built one, but thats it. So my question is would this dac with a sigma22 be better than or able to compete with a keces 151? The dac-301 with sigma22 is only slightly cheaper and I wouldn't mind getting...

Ok, let me start off by saying that I'm 14 years old and don't have much experience with high end audio. I could be called an audiophile in training, but I just really love music. I will be building a new system over the summer for listening in my room with my hand-me-down laptop. I would like...

I already have a hotaudio40 dac which i think is pretty darn good for the 80$ I bought it for, but I plan on buying a pico soon and want to know if it would be worthwhile to get the pico w/dac and sell the hotaudio40 dac. If any of you have even tried both any info would be appreciated.

If I got the sr 2050a system would I need a stereo amp to put behind it, or just plug it into my source? Thanks.

Ok i don't have any pics but, here's how it goes. take the pads (I used pleather) and cut along the perimeter where the base and pleather are stitched together. Take out the foam, wash, dry, put foam back and your done. I did this cause I was bored and didn't have anything better to do with the...

^? Would they be ok for standard bitrate mp3s?

Hey guys. Most of the files on my pc are standard bitrate mp3s and wmas. If I were to convert a regular 128kbps file to LAME at 128kbps would I get the same result as converting flac to LAME, or would it be like converting mp3 to flac? Would there be a loss of quality?

Hey. I'm looking for some new phones for use at home out of my computer with mostly standard bitrate mp3s. I listen to eveything from ratatat to feist some they need to be good all around. I will consider anything under 200$ but the phones that I am most interested in are the two in the title...

Like the title says I need a cheap ($100ish) dac/amp for use with grado sr 225. I was thinking about either the emu 0202, or the hotusb1 from hotaudio40. Which would be a better choice for the phones?

Yeah, like the title says how many of you guys work in the music industry? Including sound designers and such.

Is there a difference in terms of dac or hp amp between the emu 0404 usb and 0202? Thanks.

Hey guys, I have 300$ to play with and I need to know what I can get in terms of heaphones, dacs, and amps that will give me the best sq. this will be a home setup out of a computer w/stock sound card and I will be playing standard bitrate mp3, and wma files. I listen to mainly alt/indie type...

Hey guys, I 'm pretty new to this so please be patient. Would it be worth getting an amp for my etymotic er6i's? The source is an iriver clix 2, with pretty standard bitrate wma, and mp3s. I was thinking about getting a mini^3, Ibasso p2, or something along those lines, nothing too expensive. So...
