    Poll: Do you sing along while you're listening to your music?

    Come on admit it! I know I do. Even though I have a horrendous singing voice. At least I try not to do it in public. lol

    The Beatles and Pink Floyd released high quality remasters. Who should be next?

    The Beatles and Pink Floyd remastered their entire catalogs during the past few years. I think both were successful in terms of sound quality improvements. So who should be next to do a complete revamp of their catalog? I, for one, vote for Led Zeppelin. I would love to see (hear) their...

    I need some Satchmo please

    Hi all, I need some help with some Louis Armstrong recommendations. I prefer Pops' post war stuff with the All Stars. I like to have an album or two but I'd want it to well recorded and in stereo. I'll chose studio work over live performances if it means better sonics but either is fine. So...

    I'm a total whack job. Are you?

    Hey folks! This is nuts. I just reacquired the Grado 225. For the 4th time!! Out of the 9 Grados I've owned. Why? I have no idea. Every time I think I'm out, Grado just sucks me right back. Lmao I know repurchasing a headphone one might of regretted selling makes some sort of sense. What I...

    I hate to be so anal...

    So I'm listening to In a Silent Way (I hadn't listened in a while) and was struck by the high noise floor. Yes I have several versions of Kind of Blue and am aware of it's "Smokey" backdrop. But with In A Silent Way it just seems not as endearing and much louder. I played it (lossless) from...

    Does anyone have experience with the Nuforce CDP8?

    Hello, I've been interested in the Nuforce CDP8 but have read very little real life reviews or testimonials. Yeah I read the Stereophile review, tests and follow up but I take those with a grain of salt. I'd like to head if anyone has any experience with it. Thanks

    It seems time to lock the archived "For Sale/Trade" threads in their respective forums

    I think it's time to lock all the archived sales threads in all the sales forums. Lock them from posting not reading. I know they make a decent reference and nostalgic read, but there are many people posting in threads that are over a year old and even as long ago as 5 years or more. There is a...

    Sibling Rivalry; The Woo WA2 vs The Woo WA6SE (review posted: update 6-3-2011)

    I have been lucky enough to have both the WA6SE and WA2 side-by-side for a while and have spent the past couple of weeks listening to both amps. I should be finished the review over the weekend and will post it when it's all done. I primarily wanted to know for myself if the WA2 was inherently...

    What are your best sources for discovering new music?

    I'm kind of stealing this idea from a thread on the GoN. One of my favorite places is Progarchives.com. I have to say that this forum has given me tons of ideas. I've gotten so much new music ideas from other fellow Head-Fi'ers that I speak to. I've even gotten some ideas from the music channels...

    The Woo WA6SE and beta22/sigma22 amps face off. (Review Posted)

    I've had the Woo WA6SE for about 10 weeks now. I've had the b22/s22 amp for about 6 months, however, I sent it out to have it redone, upgraded and had some issues dealt with. Now it's "back and better than ever". I've had the beta in it's current configuration for about a month now. I've...

    A hypothetical moral question about buying used CDs...

    Hi, I have a hypothetical question. Ok I buy used CDs. I've bought them on Head-Fi, Amazon, retail stores and yard sales. I've picked up one at a time and as much as 50 at once. I pay for them. I don't know what the previous owner did with them or not. They may have listened to them. Or, like...

    Is there an iTouch app that will let me use it as a remote for my computer based iTunes?

    Hi! Is there an app for the iTouch that will allow me to use one as a remote to run iTunes from my computer? The Olive Music Server and the Cary Xciter Music Server are examples of servers that allow the user the option to use the iTouch as a separate remote via an app and network...

    I literally lost all my contacts off my BlackBerry

    I'm having a disastrous month. I won't go through the list but to top ot off I've had to reset two BlackBerrys and the desktop manager crapped out. SO!!! I've lost everything on them. Including every contact. Basically my entire life was on them. This will end up costing me tons of money. Oh...

    The Beta22/Sigma22 amp has arrived Review added!

    Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers, After a few years of having quite a few amps and always wondering if there was more out there, I finally broke down and picked up the fabled Beta22/Sigma amp to go along with my HD800. I purchased it off another Head-fi'er Mr_Senis (Ricky)and received it Friday. It...

    Can the M2Tech HiFace work with iTunes?

    Hi, Will the M2Tech HiFace work with iTunes in Windows XP? Will there be a significant sound improvement? I currently use the USB out of my Gateway netbook to my DacMagic and have been fairly happy with the results. Even Head-Fi'ers who have listened have said it sounds pretty good. But I'm...

    SRH840 or ATH-M50 or AH-D1001? It all depends really... Let's look

    Hi everyone, So for giggles I finally have gathered three of the most recommended closed cans under $200 ($150 street prices). The Shure SRH840, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and the Denon AH-D1001. I wanted to hear what they all sound like and see if there is a definitive answer to the...

    NJ Summer Meet Impressions July 24th

    I had a terrific time. Everyone was great. I totally forgot to take even a single picture. I'm sure there will be pics posted by others. It was fun and very informative. When I have a few moments to digest it all I'll post some thoughts. Thanks again to everyone that was there and helped...

    Help please. I need a 4pin XLR terminated cable for the HD800. Fast and cheap.

    Hi, Ok, I'm getting the HE-6 loaner soon. I just got an NAD integrated so I can listen to it and the HE-5LE from the speaker terminals. I want to do an objective comparison with the HD800. So using the HD800 connected to the speaker terminals of the amp is really the only fair way. I have no...

    Which amp is better? The GS-1, the Concerto or the Auditor?

    Hi again, I've been looking at getting a significant upgrade to my Gilmore Lite. The SPL Phonitor has me in a trance but it's not exactly el cheapo. From what I've been told and read the HeadAmp GS-1 is more of a subtle upgrade to the Gilmore Lite than an outright large improvement. This...

    Patting my ears on their lobes...

    I have to say I'm impressed with my ears. I went to the Krap Shak today and purchased a Sound level Meter (33-2055) to volume match my headphones. I was using pink noise to match at 85db between my K-701 and the HE-5LE. I use a 6" round cardboard cut out with a hole in the middle just big...

    I want a new cable for my HE-5LE

    Hi, I'm sorry for the duplicate post but the Cables Forum doesn't seem to have any traffic and I want to get an answer as quickly as I can. I'm looking for a cable for my HE-5LE. I'm not looking to change the sound sig in any way. Nor am I looking to spend a fortune. All I want is a SE cable...
