AC Power Adapter for a Sony PCDP D-FJ401
Where can I find an AC power adapter for a Sony PCDP D-FJ401? Searched as best I could but only managed to find another of the same model sans wall wart. I've had my original one for quite some time and the dedicated line out is very handy but now, amazingly enough I have two. Any help would be...- Spiritboxer

RSA XP-7/AKG 701 combo
Guys, will the XP-7 do the AKG 701's justice or should I look for something else like the DT880? While the XP-7 with the LT1028 opamp is something special AFAIC, the finicky nature of the 701's is making me hesitant to pick up a pair. Any help would be greatly appreciated.- Spiritboxer

RSA XP-7 or a Lunchbox II for an HD580?
...better with a home amp. Wasn't ready to go tubes yet but I can recable with the money I save so....In the end I'll probably flip a coin but what do *you* think. I'm still leaning towards the XP-7 as Ray makes a great amp and it's transportable as well. I'm aiming for early January so I have...- Spiritboxer

Does anyone make a quality cable with a plug for the iPod line-out (don't know what it's called) on one end and a mini on the other.

Will a Go-Vibe address those UM2 treble issues and bring the upper register to life for those of us without an working EQ. The bass oriented PA2V2 doesn't do much for this Westone offering but the Go-Vibe is said to make highs come out and sing. Has anyone tried this combination and if not what...- Spiritboxer
