    Record Players

    So just to clear up a logistical question:    If I were to buy a record turntable and phono stage (or the Audio Techinca LP120 which has both built in), then I could connect it to any digital output, like headphones or speakers? Would the headphone / speaker jack (1/8 inch) connect directly...

    Does anyone know where to get another one of the portable Samsung cables that came with the amp? I tried emailing iBasso, but no response.

    On a mission to like jazz

    Hey guys,    I've very recently started to get into jazz for the first time, and this thread has been invaluable in helping me explore this exciting music. I'm looking for some more recommendations - here's a list of my favorites so far:  Tomasz Stanko Charles Mingus  Wayne Shorter Bill...

    Awesome, thanks!    But what if I want to play records without headphones? Will these be able to do that as well?

    Record Players

    I'm not sure :P It has the two red and white RCA inputs - is that it?  Under $300 sounds like a good benchmark. And by high value, I meant bang for the buck, not the most valuable :P    Thanks for the help!

    Record Players

    Hi guys,    Up till now, I've only been concerned with digital audio - headphones, amps, DACs, etc. But recently I've been getting into digital rips of vinyls, such as Dr. Robert's Beatles rips, and the sound difference is substantial. The vinyl sounds much warmer and full. I had always wanted...

    The Bassiest out of These Sennheiser Headphones?

    Considering that you used (and presumably enjoyed - or at least tolerated) Turtle Beach headphones and that much EQ on the bass, Sennheiser are most definitely not the brand for you. None of the models you listed, or to my knowledge any of their models, have anywhere close to the same amount of...

    Beyerdynamic , Grado , AKG , MR speakers

    What are good headphones for listening to rock?

    Since you're concerned with looks, I'm assuming you'll be using these on the go, or at least where other people can see and therefore hear you. If this is the case, then Grados are most definitely not what you are looking for - they are open air, which means that you will hear everything around...
