    Zu Mobius in the house!

    I gotta tell you guys that the Zu cable on my HD-600's is a masterpiece. I've now have it paired with my LaRocco PPA and after a week of burn-in and listening, it completely ROCKS! I've auditioned every genre of music in my CD collection and can't get over the detail and bandwidth this...

    LaRocco PPA-Diamond Buffer/650's=HEAVEN !!!

    The black one belongs to me. Since I'm a McIntosh addict from waaay back, I love the look of black equipment with AL knobs. The blue LED almost matches the rest of the system backlights. Like that's important . The sound is simply fantastic. I am more and more pleased every day. Combined with...

    First impressions of LaRocco PPA with Diamond buffers

    I moved the PPA over to the 'big' system this morning and fired up the SACD of Santana's Abraxas (my favorite 'test' music). I am totally inpressed with the power and presence this amp displays with the HD-600/Mobius combination. I love the black silence between the notes and the air amongst the...

    Here's what I've got: now, recommend a cable for my HD650's!

    Before my new PPA arrived, I hooked up my HD600's to my TAH and iPod (with the Zu Mobius). While I love the pod as a portable and for the cool factor, it just doesn't do justice as a source for the 600. Neither is the TAH, when compared to the PPA. It's all about matching your source, amp...

    First impressions of LaRocco PPA with Diamond buffers

    These were shot at LaRocco before I got the amp. I'll take my camera to the office and post some new ones.

    First impressions of LaRocco PPA with Diamond buffers

    I arrived at home late last night from a business trip to find a box from LaRocco Audio. Since all the audio gear is at the office, I didn't even open the box until I arrived this morning. At first look, the box is beautiful! I had them make it in black with silver buttons. I went for broke...

    USB 2.0 + Firewire combo PCI card

    If you're using an iPod, just make sure the firewire has enough power to charge the pod. I know that's an issue on many low end cards. If you don't have a pod, then who cares. Same issue on the USB2.0 if you have power hungry devices like a hard drive. I tried a different card that wouldn't...

    USB 2.0 + Firewire combo PCI card

    I bought a D-Link model at Fry's (Outpost.com) for $69 IIRC. Windows XP built-in drivers work great. I can load my 20G pod via USB in about 20 minutes. YMMV.

    Is this worth anything?

    I'm not much of an EE or DIY kind of guy, but I have access to EE techs at the office. I'll try to bribe one of them into giving that a try. It really is a cool player before the days of plastic and the such. Thanks!

    Is this worth anything?

    I don't really want to fix it. If someone wants it and will pay to have it shipped, I will let it go. FYI it's circa 1988.

    Just got my Zu Mobius for the HD600

    Try moving them side to side, actually front to back if you were to have the phones on. It's a two pin connector with a friction fit notch on the narrow side. Mine came out easily on my HD600s. Read all the comments here though. There is a bit of disagreement on which cable is 'best' for the...

    Is this worth anything?

    I have an original D-15 Sony Discman. It still spins up, but recently has stopped playing discs. It's built like a tank, but needs some TLC. Any idea if it's worth anything?

    Just got my Zu Mobius for the HD600

    Seemed fairly obvious to me. I used my fingers. I didn't want to nick up those pretty machined connectors. BTW, I'm now listening to Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall (24 Nights). Man do these phones and cables make it seem like you are there! Love the ambient audience sounds!
