So, I just got a LCD TV and a blu-ray player. I have audioengine a5 speakers as well as the audioengine s8 subwoofer. Before I just had them hooked in to an IMAC with an EMU 0404 USB. Sound was controlled with the apple remote and everything was lovely. I want to be able to control the sound...

I just got an email from him today saying: Hi Seen, Sorry for taking so long but we finally get the amp to ship. If you still want it, please use this link to submit a credit card: Thank you, Xin ****** Now, I placed this order, gee, maybe a year and a half ago. I'm not even...

That wire looks pretty nice! I'm very tempted I've had the a5 speakers for quite awhile, nearly two years now, and am still amazed by how these speakers sound. I currently use a pretty fat, very long, cable made for me by a local audio shop but yours would fit the bill perfectly. I use my...

Everyone has ears for different gear thus all the conflicting reviews/information. I recall awhile ago a guy on this forum spent a few grand on various equipment to use with his hd650 (or something sennheiser i believe) while also owning an 0404 USB and he ended up sticking with the 0404...

Recommendations for an adapter? I see shure makes one for $40.

Title mostly says it. I have custom Westone ES2 IEMs and the plug is a right angle and will not fit in the iphone I just got. Any recommendations so I can use them??? Thanks

I am getting a blackberry that offers stereo bluetooth and got to wondering whether it would be possible to make a small, portable amp that would communicate via bluetooth with the BB and allow me to just plug my IEM's in to the amp???
