I'm currently in need of a new CD transport. My current Toshiba SD-3960 works decently enough, but it shakes quite a bit when discs are spinning, and occasionally randomly skips a song. It is also pretty wide, and takes up an entire level on my equipment rack. I would get a nicer CD player or...

I'm searching for a tube amp to pair with my Grado SR80i(possibly Sr225i in the near future ), but I don't what what the best option is in this price range. I was originally thinking about the Little Dot MK III, but since it's an OTL it apparently will not work well with low impedance headphones...

I'm thinking about what part of my rig I'd like to upgrade next, and I'm having a hard time deciding what would make the biggest difference. Here are the options I'm considering: Upgrading to a higher end Grado(225i/325is), getting a new DAC(maybe the compass?), getting a tube amp to...

A few days ago I was replacing the plastic grills on my SR80i with metal mesh. The mod went pretty smooth, except for one little problem. When I was putting one of the cups back together, I accidentally pushed the sides too far together. This caused the wire between the two halves to get cut...

My Zero has a bit of an issue at low volumes where the right channel is a bit louder than the left. This is generally not a problem, as it only happens when I am listening at quieter than normal levels, but to solve this I sometimes turn the volume in foobar down to about 50%, and turn the...

I'm looking for some new cans that really help pull me into the music and enjoy it, and I believe that either the D2000s or 225s would be great choices. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between the two, can anyone give me a hand? I'm not very concerned about the sound being colored, I just...

I'm looking for a DAP that has a line out so I can use it with an external amp, and I'd like for it to have at least 30 gigs of memory. I was planning on buying an 80 gig iPod classic, but is there anything with better sound quality? I'd rather not spend more than $250.

I plan on buying the iBasso D2 boa soon, and along with using it as an amp for my portable rig, I'm going to use it as a DAC for my computer audio. As far as I know the only sound card on my PC is built in, so I pretty much don't have one, and if I do it's not very good at all. If I use a DAC...

At the moment I'm using my M-Audio Q40s straight from either my 1st gen ipod nano or the headphone jack on my Klipsch speakers. What amp would you guys recommend that I could use with both of these sources? I don't want a super expensive amp, just one that will make listening even more enjoyable.
