Has anyone seen or heard a Linn Sondek cd player? I have a guy in town that has one for sale and wants me to come and listen or even take it home for a week or so to test drive it. Are they worth the $$ or should I just buy a Merridian if I am putting up a couple k for the Linn? Anyone have any...

Does anyone know what makes a cable directional? I mean, what is different inside to make it directional? I have an earcandy mini to mini that says it is, and has a "one way" sticker on one end. But I have others that are not. I dont get it. Whats different?

Where can I find switchcraft right angle mini's? I looked at parts express, and Markertek and niether of them have them. Anyone? Or does Neutrik make L mini's? Thanks!

I want to get a dedicated home amp. I have an SR-71 and love the sound so I was thinking about an HR-2. But I just ran into a link that has the Larocco pocket reference amp. I know its a portable, but it has a 1/4" jack in front and rca inputs in back and an a/c power cord along with an option...

I ordered a 20' regular Ear candy headphone extention from Todd today, and was wondering if its a good enough extention? I know its not the best but for $129 +10% off, I figured I would give it a shot. The Moon Audio Silver Dragon 15' ext is $190, the 20' says its special order so who knows how...

I have been looking around and there are several to choose from. I have seen the Zu Mobius, Silver Dragon, Cardas, Cable Pro, what do I want to get for my new HD's. I also want to get a 15-20 foot extention cable so I can get to the couch with them. I was thinking of a matching pair but its not...

I just got my HD-650's today (woo-hoo!) and took out a cd that I have that has pink noise and sine sweeps and stuff on it and put it in my cd player. I programed it to repeat the pink noise and sine sweeps for a while. The pink noise track was first, I set it at a reasonable volume and set them...

I am in the process of selling my house and moving into a bigger house. When I sell this one I will get a nice chunk of cash. I need a home system/home theater that is a lifetime quality system. I know a little about speakers but I need advice on reciever/source, cd/sacd/dvdaudio, amps to power...

When I bought my SR-71 for my iPod I wasnt sure which one of these two I would like the best. Mainly as far as how easy it is to use in my little case. So I bought both. I kind of like the way the SiK has a little bit of cord so that I can take my iPod out of the case without unpluging it from...

I ordered both a sik din and sendstation pocketdocks for my new SR-71 because I didnt know which one I would like better. I dont have a firewire on my computer, I use USB for my iPod. My question is can I cut that firewire cable off of the sik din so that its just the line out cable and nothing...

I ordered a SR-71 from Todd on Thurs. and got it already with the standard $5 shipping! I also got a 6" Earcandy mini to mini. And all I can say is WOW!! It really brought these UE's to life. (Like that was necessary) They are easily driven by just about anything, but the highs and lows are much...

Well as the title says, I broke down today and ordered a pocket dock from that sendstation place, a nice fat 6" mini to mini from Todd, (not sure which one, he said it was 6" and $59. I dont know a brand name though.) and a SR-71, (also from Todd). So now from what I was told by Ray Samuels and...

I am probably going to buy an SR-71 very soon, and was just wondering how the best way to set up an iPod with it is? Do you need an upgraded mini to mini? And what volume do you leave the iPod at? I have never owned a headphone amp so please excuse my ignorance, but I am assuming that you leave...

I am just getting comfortable with my new UE's and was wondering if they would benifit from the use of a good portable amp. I use them out of an iPod 95% of the time. Or would the cost vs. improvement not even make sense? The guy from UE said they dont need one. And I agree. They are very low...

I recently bought a pair of UE-10's as some of you probably read. I had a SMALL problem with the right side ear. Nothing sonicly. I bought clear, and one of the two tunnels were kind of out of round and the acrylic was slightly cloudy near that spot. Now most of you regulars saw the pics I...

I put most of my mp3 collection together before I got an iPod. I just got one recently and was poking around in iTunes and found the encoding options. What is the best encoding option for stuff that I want to sound perfect. (or near perfect) I have a 60 gig photo iPod so space isnt a factor yet...

All I can say is WOW! All the reviews were right. I am lucky and live in Las Vegas (UE is based here in LV) so I was able to go down to their lab and check everything out. And I got my impression made by the guy who was going to make my earphones so I know my impression was done right. And its...

I was considering buying a set of the ultimate ears UE-10's, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them that I could get some good info from. My main question was weather or not they need an amp to run or not. I will be using them with an iPod mainly. I have a pair of ety's ER4-P...

Why does the banner say Rick-Fi where it used to say Head-Fi? Whats up with that?

Has anyone tried to fit a supermicro or something like that in the new altoids gum tin? Or is it just too small?

I need headphones to listen to my music and watch TV because of my roomate. I have a pair of sony V6's but I want a pair of open phones so that I can hear the doorbell, phone, alarm clock, etc. I dont have the money for a pair of HD650's and an amp yet, but I want to buy a pair and then I will...

I dont currently own a headphone amp. I have a set of ety's er-4p with the p to s converter. I want a portable amp for them like a total airhead or something like that but I was wondering if it would power a set of HD-650's. Or will I have to buy a supreme or cosmic type of amp. Keep in mind...

I recently got a pair of Etymotic er-4p's that I am absolutly blown away by. I am running them off of an Archos av380. I know alot of people on here dont like Archos but this was the only player that has an 80 gig hard drive. I have ALOT of cd's. I mean alot. So I can play movies on the 4"...
