Hi,   (For Moderators) I'm not new here, so I wasn't sure if this should be placed in the 'Help and Getting Started" forum.   Anyway, I want to move my main headphones system from my speakers system, and build a portable high-end headphones system (as I find it more comfortable listening to...

Hey,   Enjoying my lovely pair of LCD3s with my ifi amplifier, while reading the jaw-dropping reviews about the Stax SR-009, created an itch...   I can get a good deal on the SR-009 (close to japan price), and thought of combining the WOO audio WEE with a cheap s/h tube integrated amplifier...

Hi fellow head-fiers, Since I remember myself in this hobby (which goes back almost 2 decades) I always listened through 'standard' headphones (dynamic/planar/electrostatic/closed-back/open-back etc.). Recently I've noticed the IEMs market is growing (obviously due to the availability of...

I have an aftermarket cable which I had purchased to my Senns HD650 long ago. The HD650 were sold a while back but I still have the cable. Is it possible to change the termination on this cable to fit my LCD-3?

Which amps are best matched with the LCD-2 for under $1000?   Thanks!

I have owned a few of their products and love their approach to sound. The new headphones replacement cables look very interesting, specifically the HD800 (which interest me :cool:). They also manufacture the jacks and the plugs (they may be purchased separately). Anyone audition them...

I've been using the Lehmann Black Cube Linear with my HD800 for quite some time now and I'm looking for a change. The Lehmann/HD800 combo sounds very clean, detailed, spacious and fast - but, to my tastes, a bit dry and lifeless. I'm looking for a more smooth (maybe on the expense details)...

Hi all, I'm looking for a decent amp to drive my new HD800. My budget is limited to $700. Your turn now...

Hi all, Haven't been here for a while but now I'm back ! I own a Stax system 3050 (SR-303 Headphones + SRM-323 Headphone amp), I love the sound of the 'stats and am thinking of moving forward. However, my budget is, relatively , limited ~$1500. Should I go for a s/h SR-007 MK1 (or MK2...

Hi all, For quite a while I'm thinking of dumping my Meridian 588 for a PC+DAC combo. Just to make things clear - this combo must be at least as good as my 588 - cause I ain't going to downgrade ! I have a chance to get my hands on a Mac Mini. Doing some homework I realized I have a few...

Hi all, I own a K701 driven by an MPX3 SLAM (as seen in my signature). Recently I was offered a s/h Stax SRS-4040 system for a bargain price. Before I go and audition the Stax system (the dealer is a few hours drive away) - I would love to hear your opinions regarding the pros and cons of...

Celebrating my 99th post ( just before becoming a 100+ member ), I decided to write my first review. First of all, I would like to thank head-fi for killing my wallet, may he rest in peace . I'm a head-fi member for quite a while now, since 2003, and I must say: THANK YOU ! Head-fi is...

I have a chance to get my hands on a s/h AKG K1000. I have high expectation from the K1000, but knowing that my MPX3 cannot drive it to extremes I was wondering if my stereo integrated amp ( i.e. Rogue Audio Tempest II ) could do the job. My question is: Has anybody auditioned the K1000 driven...

I want to spoil myself with a nice gift for the new year ... Since these 2 'phones are pretty much "on sale" right now: - The K701 because of the special introductory pricing - "Buy me ! I'm new !" - The DT880 "old version" - "Buy me so I can make place for the '06 new collection" I've...

Hi all ! I am looking to upgrade my speaker system stereo amp, and the Cary SLI-80 is on my current shortlist. I've read that the Cary has a tube amplified headphones output, how does it compare to Singlepower's MPX3 ( which I currently own ) ? I was wondering that, maybe, as a "bonus" I...

Hi all, I've sent mikhail an e-mail Friday morning and he hasn't responded yet . I've sent it to Info@SinglePower.com - anyone know other methods I can contact him ( besides phone )... Thanks !

Hi all, Since I bought my current amp - the Corda HA-1 MkII - I upgraded almost all my rig and bought a TT. Thus I'm looking for better performance from my head-amp. My budget is around $800, options that come to mind are... - Corda HA-2 MkII - Singepower ( PPX3 ) with a few upgrades...

Can I change the voltage settings on this power supply ( 115v - 230v and vice verse ) ? If so, how ? Thanks. P.S. This is the OLD HC-1 power supply not the new HC-1b power supply.

Hi all, I am looking for a new Lyra Dorian but the list price ( $750 ) is a bit too high for my budget - are there any online dealers that sell Lyra cartridges on discount ? Thx ! P.S. Are there any other recommendations in this price range ? the most important feature is a silent...

Hi all, I recently purchased a VPI Scout ( w/ JMW-9 ) with an Ortofon Kontrapunkt A cartridge. I now need a matching phonostage - my budget is ~$400 ( no higher - I cannot strech my budget - sorry ). Any recommendations will be highly appreciated ! Thx ! Axel.

I took a look at MF new website and noticed a X-PSU V3 - which can be used with the X-Can V3 ( X-LPS V3 and all the other items in that series ) instead of the standard wallwart power supply. Has anybody seen/heard this new X-PSU - does anybody know how much will it cost ? Thx ! Axel.

Hi all, I looking for cheap ( ~$10 ) but quality made PC ( better than the usual 18AWG PC that can be found in any electronics store ). Oh, and another thing, It should be available online. Thanks, Axel.

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my Meier HA-1 MKII. My ( absolute ) limit is $2500, so far I gathered up a few options: - Meier Prehead - Headroom Max - Ray Samuel's Emmeline II Stealth What are your suggestions ? I listen mainly to classical music. Thx, Axel.

Yesterday I finally received my silver dragon replacement cable for the HD650. I replaced my cardas and plugged the silver dragons leaving them to burn-in. Here are my initial impressions ( after 24 hours burn-in ): Details: The first thing I noticed is that the level of detail has...

I would like to upgrade my current interconnects ( Audioquest Viper ) - my current options are those mentioned above ( also add Harmonic Tech Pro-Silway 3 ) - I can get both in a good deal. I was wondering if any of you guys own/compared/heard these cables. I live outside the US so other cable...
