    Please help w/1212 question...

    Last night, my 1212 was working fine. Today, I can't get any audio to output, except for the test tone in the patchmix software. How do I set up the patchmix software to work with itunes or foobar. I have my windows control panel setting set up to use the EMU as the soundcard.I have my...

    Really quick ihp-120 / 4g ipod comparison

    my buddie's on his way over here w/his new 4g and I have my new ihp-120. we're gonna do some blind a/b'ing w/wavs. Maybe not the most conclusive scientific test, but I think that should give me enough of an idea to make a final decision. Headphones: Ety-4S, Shure E2, Sennheiser HD-25 1s

    CMoy hum, but strange...

    The last 15% of the work on the CMoy has taken upo 75% of my time, but that's how it goes the first time around, I guess...gettin there slowly, but surely. I've just connected my input and am testing it out. Everything seems fine except when the amp is on, but the source (sony MZ-R50)...

    Any sites/books that teach how to read schematics?

    i'm noticing a lot of amp instructions are just schematics with basic instructions, rather than Tangent-style in-depth instructions. Only problem, I can't read schematics...

    basic CMOY questions

    I plan on using the 276-0170 board for my CMOY. Looking at Tangent's tutorial picture, I see what he calls jumpers: http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tu...170-step-1.jpg being a complete DIY noob, I'm not sure what the jumpers should look like on the other side of the board. There are 3...

    CD3000 vs HD650 for Melos-SHA1

    My Melos is enroute soon, and I'm wondering what kind of cans I should get. I will primarily be using the Melos as a pre, but I want to take advantage of its excellent headamp potential as well. I've read quite a few reviews of the cd3000 and the HD650, but I've never read any head to head...

    Hey you PC as a source people...case noise..

    I just ordered my EMU 1212 yesterday, but my pc is too noisy for me to use with open cans. I don't want to limit myself to closed cans, so I've been working on silencing my PC, specifically, my fans. I replaced the cooler for the 9800 pro today, and that helped, but the case fans on my Lian-Li...

    How do you rate the Antique Sound Lab MG Head DT/OTL?

    Is it worth the moolah? Any easy, cheap upgrades for it? What does it pair well with, in your experience? Thanks in advance. I'm thinking about using it with an EMU 1212 and Ety-4Ss for now, but I'd like more comfortable, closed cans.

    Any recommendations on a tubed preamp/headamp combo

    Besides the stealth. If I could get the stealth for it's intro price, I might consider it, but as is, that's a bit out of my league. I'm upgrading my 2 channel and I figure I'll see if I can kill 2 birds here, so I'm open to suggestions. thanks

    Upcoming review iRiver-120 vs Hi-MD (Sony NH900 or NH1)

    Ok, I'm seriously debating whether to go with Hi-MD or a HD based player. So I've decided to get both, let them battle it out, and then return the loser. I understand that Hi-MD isn't as convenient as the ihp, but since when was portaphilia about convenience? It's never been for me, anyway...

    Anyone using ihp-120 + Ety-ER4s + amp?

    I have the Ety's already. I also have a xin superdual coming eventually. What I'm wondering is whether or not I should invest in an ihp-120. My concerns are: a.) the fake line-out won't sound as good as the true lineout on my MZ-R50 b.) HD based players just don't sound as good as MD...

    Xin Supermicro thread...

    I received my Supermicro last week, and I really like it. My source is a Sony R50 and I'm using ER-4S's for cans. As expected, the bass is more impactful and sits more evenly in the mix. Instrument seperation is better as well. I am really surprised at the increased levels of detail...

    Hearing a slight echo w/ER-4S's and MD

    I was listening to an SP recording of Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" the other night on my Sony R50 w/Ety-4S's and I heard a slight echo on some of the horns. It was really minute, but definitely distinct. I have never heard this echo before on any system w/any headphones. These Ety's...

    Does anyone else find Ety's VERY comfortable?

    Sorry if this thread has been done, but I see mostly complaints about Ety's comfort. I guess I can understand differences in ear canal structure and other disparities from person to person, but I just want to put my 2 cents out to people considering them. Don't be scared about the comfort...

    I'm considering the Ray Samuels portable, but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for the Ety's and/or the r50. My r50 is in the mail...yay.

    Do any HD based players accept regular batteries?

    A friend of mine is a mountain climber and needs a player that has a large storage capacity as well as the ability to be powered by alkaline batteries, since he won't have the ability to charge the player on the mountain. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Good 1st amp for heaf-fi newb?

    My only real criteria are that the amp be able to run on batteries for portable use as well a wall wart option. I've never used an amp w/my Ety 4S's. What amp will make me see the light? I'm eventually gonna get some RS-1s or 880s, as well. So I need a jack of all trades of sorts. Price is...
