Any site like Head-fi that specializes in portable sources?
I think the problem you'll run into is, although you may find a site that has more active discussion on portable players, they won't be geared towards getting good sound specifically like this board.- hawkhkg11

What exactly is the difference between open and sealed cans?
Here is the difference between the two: Closed - Everyone around you hates you because you can't hear them speak. Open - Everyone around you LIKES you because you CAN hear them speak.- hawkhkg11

Setting Up Entech 205.2
Well, I don't know if this will re-assure you, but when I ordered my 203.2 off Amazon, the first shipment was DOA. No matter what I did I could not get the locked LED to light up. I use a Mac so it was fairly straightforward. I decided I could open the box or replace the PSU or a dozen more ways...- hawkhkg11

How does a Line-Out cable work?
Hello everyone, This question may be asked before so I apologize for my ignorance. There seems to be a hot market for expensive iPod line-out cables lately, but before I take the plunge and buy one, I'm still a little unsure of how they exactly work. The iPod connector as I've always...- hawkhkg11

Best amp to drive 501's ?
My setup (below) on low gain drives my 501 to very high volumes with most songs at 9 o'clock. Looks like you need a new source.- hawkhkg11

Selling Entech 203.2...what should I get next?
There's the Zhalou. Or the Beresford TC-7510. Or you could pick up a 205.2. I personally love my 203.2.- hawkhkg11

AKG 701 & G5 Mac amp recommendations
If you want to amp your K701s from your mac, you also need to get a DAC, otherwise you'll be amping a noisy headphone out signal, defeating the point. I think the G5 headphone out sounds quite good and they are more than capable of driving the K701s. Unless you need the last 10% or so of...- hawkhkg11

Help, My 225's are stuck to my ears!
Glad you are enjoying the 225s Slaughter! In all fairness, I did like the 225s for some jazz stuff, but I'm totally hooked to the treble clarity and "space" of the 501. The 225 is great for some small venue stuff though, when you want to feel intimate and "on the stage". The fact that it...- hawkhkg11
