I was poking around on MisterX's photobucket page and saw this: I usually go to Headwize for DIY news, but that has been down. Does anyone know anything about this?

I've had the pleasure of receiving the gamma1 DAC, a new DIY DAC project by amb and MisterX (full details here: HeadWize: DIY Workshop > γ1: Full-featured modular miniature DAC). I had expressed interest in getting one as I was looking for a source with a small footprint that I could feed from...

Just kind of came across this band a week or two ago and have been listening to them a lot. Anyone else into The Perishers or know of bands similar to them? Edit: Here's a link to their MySpace page if you want to check out some of their music: http://myspace.com/theperishers I like "Trouble...

I just received my PPX3 today and am clueless as to which tubes go in what socket. I tried calling them, but they are out for the CES show. I received 2x6463GE's and 1x6CG7. Could anyone shed some light on this? Edit: Problem solved, much thanks to sacd lover for his help. The 6463's were...

I've had a intermittent Yamaha HTR-5280 receiver lying around for a while now, and I'm not sure what to do with it. The power on it randomly cuts out, usually when there's audio signal going through it. For the price they want to fix it, I can just get another receiver, but I am wondering if...

I've been searching for an upgrade lately from my pimeta and was set on the MAD Ear+ Purist HD, but I want to get a few opinions about this amp or other amps before I lay down the money. I've also tried the PPAv2 and M3 in the price range and prefer the Ear+, PPA and M3 (in that order). I've...

Has anyone ordered a pair of these yet? Seems like they could be a great alternative to the K701s. I like the color a lot more on these too...

Did anyone get a chance to go the concert? I just got back with a group of friends (we're from Boston). The concert was incredible. We had seats right in the front row in mezzanine. I got chills when they started playing, especially on "Terra's Theme". It isn't one of my most favorite songs from...

I've recently started using FreeBSD and was wondering if anyone had some experiences with sound cards to share. I'm still very new to the OS, so I'm still learning, so anything you could share would be great.

I just got a pair of EX71s and am looking for possible tweaks/mods and I did some searches for it, but the original post seems to be deleted. What exactly is the silver mod? And are there any other nice mods for these?

Was wondering if anyone knows where I could get my hands on a pair of white EX71s? If not, can anyone recommend a site that I could get the regular black ones for cheap? Thanks.

I was taking a little road trip today with a friend and he had a mix CD playing, and this song came on. I thought it was one of the best electronica songs I have heard in a while. Found out it's called Such Great Heights. Any fans of The Postal Service here? I think I will purchase their CD...

Hello, I just wanted to post some impressions of the DT440s that I got from Meier Audio if anyone was interested in these cans. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I thought a newbie's impression could help a little. I bought these cans because I was looking for something that didn't...

I was looking around for an small flash based mp3 player tonight, and came across the Muro brand. Here's a link: http://mp3mall.net/mp3/MP3_Player/Po...ro_MR-100_256/ I like that is uses a rechargable battery and has a FM transmitter. I was looking for something to jog with, but I'd also...

I'm looking to upgrade soon from my Grado SR-60s. I'm looking for something open that's less bright, but not as laidback as the Sennheiser series. I did a search, and doesn't seem to be any reviews. Anyone that have these cans that could chime in?

Exactly what the title says, I need a mp3 player for running and maybe for the gym. I'm not too familiar with the flash-based players, so I thought I could get some information here. My pockets aren't that deep, so cheaper is better. Suggestions for earbuds for jogging would be good too. Thanks...

Hi, I read up on a few threads here about swapping the Sennheiser HD-414 earpads on the Grado models. Unfortunately, none of them mentioned how to mod the actual pads. Is there any specific way to get a nice clean cut on the HD-414 pads? And what should the size of the cut be? Any help is...
