    Boston Area Meet - January 5th, Cambridge Innovation Center

    Put me down only as a possible. I am flying in from an international flight that morning, so it is hit or miss. If the time is there (and the capability) I'll go home and get some gear and be there, otherwise I will try to put in an appearance. Gear is not out of this world, but I like it.  ...

Different orchestras, conductors, a wide range of composers, old and new, warhorses and rarities. So many styles, so much music and all for...

    Integrated Amplifiers and Preamplifier with Good, Great or Excellent Headphones Output - Contribute to a LIST of amps!

    I have recently had a chance to try Beyer DT990/600 on a NAD C320BEE (an amp I love BTW). My initial impressions are this is not a good match at all, the highs are very laid back, the bass is good and fairly tight. It sounded way better with Grado SRi80, bass was still as tight (although not...

    Convicing your significant other your Audiophilia is founded.

    I feel embarrassed to tell you ... but I will. My significant other is even more into music than I am. The idea that we were not going to have a good audio system just isn't one that exists in this universe. I save way more money than I spend each month. The main system is stable, when it...

    Best speaker for $500 or less...

    I have run the PSB alpha B1 from a T-amp for many years, via an M-audio 2496, Kingrex UD-01 and other computer audio options. For near-field I found it very very good, and have not yet found anything that competes for sitting on my desk while at my computer. when I put this together everyone was...

    Graham Slee Novo

    Low and behold. I was just thinking of building a home office sytem of DT 990 and a Graham Slee Novo, thinking this would be a match of equals that would do well for some years. This would replace a T-Amp and PSB Alpha B1s. Thanks for the opinions. Reinforcing my decision.

    Digital Restoration of 78s (links updated 7/22)

    Wow. Thank-you so much for sharing your hardwork. I am quite amazed at what you have achieved in noise reduction without killing dynamics, which always seems to be the trade off in 78 conversion in my listening experience, which is slight by comparison. At this time I have only obtained the...

    Thanks for the Toscanini info . I may get that.

    Weird thing happened. Beyerdynamics.

    I find the contact odd and the transaction strange but this stuff happens every day, and every company large enough to have its bottom line effected does it. My guess, and that is all it is is that Beyer are new to this type of thing and totally fumbled this transaction due to unfamiliarity of...

    Mono sound over stereo headphones

    More info might help. Is the 'phone connection a straight cable in or a split to left and right. Have you double checked all cable connections including any into the 'phone itself? Is the material your are listening to Stereo and not Mono? What are the 'phones plugged into? Have you double...
