    Recommendations for Traveling Closed Back Headphones

    It's been quite a few years since I have been on this forum. I moved into 2 channel and I am coming back to get a travel pair of cans. I still have Senn H650's and Audio Technica something or others. My old amp is a SinglePower PPX (or something like that). I listen regularly to in ear...

    Scotch

    Tyson...I've thus far agreed with you on every review save this one: Balvenie 15...I'm finding it quite nice. I sense it's lack of complexity and perhaps that is the source of disaproval. In fairness I've only had a glass, but I am currently looking forward to the second! Hope you're feeling...

    The tonearm is the thing...

    No need to be too afraid of a TT setup...if you're a little handy it is really no big deal. In fact I've learned that attempting small tasks can be rewarding in terms of understanding how changes effect sound. Michell tables use custom drilled mounts for a given arm. I have two of these arm...

    The tonearm is the thing...

    I've been on an interesting journey of chasing neuance these days... It's been satisfying to feel finished on my "major" audio upgrades over the last 6 months. Now it is down to the hobby of tweaks and minor changes to wring out the last drop of system pleasure. Having been very satisfied...

    Longest run of IC cable?

    unfortunately the compete answer involves you preamp...laptop in this case. short is best...i run a 12'/3 meter run, and my preamp manufacturer recommends that as the max to not experience degridation of signal quality. in real terms i wouldn't worry too much, but a laptop is a beast i am not...

    Michael Fremer DVD

    based on the dvd i spent a couple hours today...and i do mean hours...adjusting the weight on my rb300 arm. as scary as it was to me i actually moved the weight beyond the manufacturers recommended force (both heavier and lighter). using a benz h2 cartridge with inteded force of 1.75 to 2 grams...
