I've been interested in getting into vinyl some day and ran across my dad's old JL-A20 turntable and vinyl collection. I'm just curious if anyone knows how this model ranks among others? The belt drive and stylus look to be needing a replacement, which seems like a cheap fix.

I'm looking for the next big thing to upgrade. Like my sig says I have an emu 0404(computer as source) to a glite(without psu), and using mostly the rs1 and 650s. I'm in a bit of a pickle as to what to throw my money at now, I'm leaning towards a cardas upgrade for the 650s, but whether that...

I'm looking for a new sound, my source is a 0404 + gilmore lite with an hf1 and hd580. Some of the choices that popped in my head were grabbing a pair of DT990, HD600/650, AKG 701s. Anyone have any suggestions?

I signed up for the 3 day free trial and tried some of the stream lists on their site, I can't say it sounded good at all either. I'm wondering what bitrate they use and will it only sound bad when streamed and not if I use the actual receiver plugged into my comp? Or is it just the 3 day trial...

Which amp would give a bigger boost to phones like the 580s; an HS Classic or the headphone output on a DAV-DX250 receiver? I tried to find specs on the old classic but couldn't come up with any, but here is some info on the receiver: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3880831

Hello, my setup is 0404 > Headsave Classic (Mini) > 580s. I'm wondering if a Gilmore Lite would be that much better than my current Mini amp. Other than that I'm pretty set on keeping the 0404 as my source for a couple years yet. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of any Canadian places or dealers that will ship Grado headphones? Thanks!

Does anyone else have a problem with the 0404 not playing certain sounds at all, like in games or even the windows startup song? I have a feeling it is patchmix because I also tried hooking up my revo 7.1 to the 0404's input digitally. What that did was allow me to hear a couple more sounds than...

My question is, what pads are on Grados nowadays? I'm looking to expand from my 580s over to a comparable quality Grado can. I heard stories that stock models only come in comfies instead of bowls now, is that true? What pads does Allesandro use? Coming from a pair of wireless RCA headphones I...

Are there any comparable cards to the e-mu 0404? Does the 1212 have the same way of connecting as the 0404? And are they any m-audio cards with the same quality?

Like the problem states, I'm getting both L and R channels through my left speaker (Altec 2.1 setup). My amp is an HS Classic, and the same problem also occurs when I plug my 580s into it. Also, switching the plugs around into the card still showed both L/R in the left speaker. This is what I'm...

Hi, I'm planning on improving my current stereo setup which consists of 580s w/ stock cable, Headsave Classic, Revo 7.1 and a deadly silent comp. I have around $500-600 to work with. Last year I was looking to replace my can's stock cables, but now I'm not sure that it would help me out with...

Hello! I'm new here but I've been reading for ages. I went to the doctor a week ago to find that my loss of hearing in my left ear was caused by ear wax buildup (had a history of it when I was younger). Since last week I've been taking this Ceromol wax remover liquid, but if anything my...

I have a Revo, 580's, MiniMe and I'm pretty happy with this setup atm. What would be the next big thing to upgrade? I'm thinking either cables or a new independant source (as much as I like using my comp as one). Any advice?

Does anyone know a place to buy Senn 580 replacement cables in Canada? (ie Cardas, Equinox or Oehlbach)

I'm sort of new with amps etc. I recently ordered a Mini with cardas jacks and its not here yet. What type of cord do i use between my source(soundcard) and my amp? My 580's are just using stock at the moment, and I don't think you can get a cardas cable into a soundcard can you? And also how...

I went to Futureshop and Walmart today and ran across a bunch of RCA cables made by Philips and Monster. Some of these had 24k gold plated jacks (I'm not too sure what doing this produces) and some of the prices were just wild, ranging from $39 to $200. Now, is there a difference in...

My 580's padsare getting a little dirty with white fuzz etc, does anyone els ehave this problem? (probably from the white towels I use) Can anyone recommend how to clean this prob. I was thinking of using an animals hair removal roller, but some of them are so strong it would remove all the...

How much juice does the Headsave MINT give the 580's compared to the Tempo? I like how the MINT can be used for portables if need be, but if Tempo or even MiniMe is a major improvement on it I might just go with one of those. My 580's are hooked up to a Revo so I think there is a lot more...

My soon-to-be setup will be a pair of HD-580's and a Revo card. Could anyone recommend an amp from Headsave? I'm really attached to the Mint, (Altoids fetish) but its probably best used with portables I'm guessing. Maybe the MiniMe, Tempo or Intro?

I'm looking to upgrade my soundcard but have been recommended these 3 cards. My speaker system is 5.1 and I should be getting my 580's at the endof the month I hear a lot about the M-Audio Rev and I "think" its on the same price range as the Aureon Sky. Is there really any huge difference...

I'm still a little erky on how much the HD-580's leak sound, although sadly it is impossible for me to try them out before I order them. Is it possible that someone could set up how much sound comes out of them from 1 meter away at at a couple different volumes?

I plan to order the HD-497's from www.headphone.com. I'm not sure where to get them in Canada, although I might give www.sennheiser.ca a call before I make my decision. I've never had a headphone amplifier before so I'm looking at starting with the MINT. It will be used primarily for my...
