Well, my UM2's were going on 10 years I believe, so I cannot complain. I surely got my monies worth out of them. As I haven't been around lately I am amazed at all the different companies making IEM's. It's mind boggling. Anyway, I need to replace my UM2's so I figured on buying another pair...

I was searching for a more substantial box to enclose my cmoy and came across Serpac's website. Remember these? They were awesome. I remember getting what I believe was a MINT in a blue translucent plastic Serpac case. It was awesome. Basic toggle switches for everything. No LEDs needed or...

As I've listened to it quite a bit with the stock opamps, I would like to experiment with a few of my fav's. Thing is, I don't know if they'll be compatible or not. Ideally the 637, the 8620, and the 727, and maybe you all could recommend something new.   I am going to put my order in and I...

I have no problems connecting the MB to the Maverick via Toslink/miniplug, but I can't seem to get it to recognize the USB. For example, I can plug in Toslink and everything works fine. However, when I try this with the USB, nada Nothing. I believe I have changed the settings correctly in Midi...

Well, I've had myself a bit of a shopping spree recently. As you can see below, I couldn't make up my mind about which DAC/Amp would make me smile, so I bought them all. They've been warming up in my bedroom. I'll start listening tomorrow. For now, I'll just share the pics. I plan on bringing...

I figured it out. Was the n00bish mistake one could make. That's all I'll say. I am ashamed.   Thanks for your offer though.

Hi all. I've recently discovered the joys and convenience of listening to my vinyl ripped FLAC files through my macbook. However, as many of you have pointed out, my optical port on my MB only samples as high as 96Khz.   I am looking to expand upon the limits of my MB. My question is, how do...

I'll keep this short and sweet.  After finding myself listening to my computer more and more, I'd decided to find a new DAC in an effort to hear more from my HE-400's.  With almost a hundred reviews on Amazon, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal if the D1 turned out to not be my style.  But...

Well, I bought a pair of headphones off another member, found them not at my door, but in my small mailbox. I live in a condo so our boxes are small. I found a wet bag containing my Grado's 225i's inside.   No box?!?   Please, if you sell your gear, package it properly. If you think your...

Yes you see a few pairs of the HE-400's now and again, but never the revered 500.  If that doesn't tell you something, you must be dumb as a box if rocks.   Well anyway, I've given up waiting.  Gonna go full retail, although it'll kill me.

Ok.  Here's what I am trying to accomplish.  I own a pair of T50RP's modded by Tyler at Mayflower Electronics.  However, in reading the various threads, I have come to believe there are significant differences between the modifications made by Mr. Speakers, Tyler, and LFF, as well as the...

For some reason, I cannot wake the player by touching the screen. In videos I've seen, I should be able to do this. I now have to press the button to access the player. Is there something I am missing? Read the manual. Nothing. Thanks in advance, and have a Happy New Year.

Don't know if someone has picked up on this yet, but Costco is selling the 8GB Fuze for $59.99 ($79.99 - $20.00 mfg instant discount). Seems like a good price. Just thought I'd share. (And yes, I bought one; had to - this is a sickness after all)

Got a SMIV. Opened it up to find this. Problem is this fell off Leaving me like this So I dropped in one of those things that looked identical to the two others and now I've got this [/url][/IMG] So, the $64,000 question is, as I know less than nothing about this stuff, will this be...

As I search for a tube amp to replace the DV, it dawned on me. Why do amp manufacturers charge such an exorbanant price to upgrade parts? IMO, the customer is already buying the amp. Does it take extra time to config/install these upgraded components? Please take into account I have no idea what...

Well, maybe I am being overly cautious, but hey, you never know. I sold my Hornet to a brand new member. No posts. No feedback. He sent payment and asked me to ship it to a different NAME, and ADDRESS than the one listed (also confirmed) on PayPal. He also gave me a phone number, which I called...

I recently bought this SuperMacro IV from another headfier. Opened it up to replace the 8066 opamp and came across this glued thing. Forgive me, but as you probably can guess, I am not a DIYer. What is this and how can I fix it? And no, I can't get the prongs back into the hole. Help please...

I've neglected keeping my 300GB music collection organized. And now, I am clueless as how to do this. Long story short, I've got three external HD's. One is FAT, one is NTFS, and the other HFS (Mac). I'd like to move everything to a new HFS formatted HD. Problem is the NTFS crashes whenever I...

After a brief vacation from Head-Fi, I've returned (and with a vengeance, I may add). However, I have either sold or given away my headphones. I still have the HD-251 and the UM2. I use the UM2 for commuting. I find myself using the IEM's at home as well. Here's the dilemma. I have owned the...

I ended up at B&H tonight ten minutes before they closed. I went up there for a pair of HD25-1's (on sale for $179) and left with those and an "oldie but goodie" for the kids. The Sony V6. These were the first closed cans I bought when I joined this board. I had to have them again. Sony's still...

I had the most pleasant suprise waiting for me when I returned home from work last week. And it only took three days to get here. That was amazing. Anyone care to guess what's inside? Do you need another clue? Well, now the cats out of the bag, huh? More pics...

I just got my 74532 in the mail from another Headfi-er. As you all know, it's way too long and 1/4". I need a skilled DIY'er to shorten it and re-terminate it for me. I have the 1/8" mini plug. Any takers? Preferably local, but I would ship (and pick up the postage both ways). Signed, A...

Usually after a month or so I decide lugging around a portable amp gets to be tiresome. I am going on seven months with my SM3v6 and I am as psyched about this amp today as I was while I was waiting for it to arrive. All my music, even songs I am intimately familiar with, sound better to my...

Being a longtime Clapton fan I am always amazed when I listen to Clapton's 2001 live show. I ripped this album lossless and without gaps. It is a true masterpiece. Better, imo, than his Unplugged album, if only by the number of songs included on this two disc set. Too bad I have to join the...
