Ultrasone cable - what connector do you use?
I am interested in a replacement cable for my Ultrasone PRO-series cans. However, I've read some posts of fellow Head-Fiers who have recently received such cables from Moon Audio that do not use the standard Ultrasone screw-in connector. Instead they have a push-in type connector. Pictures...- jpelg

Hi-Rez Download Mini-Reviews: Contribute!
In the past, we've had dedicated threads in which to post mini-reviews of both SACD discs and DVD-Audio discs. Given the rising popularity & availability of hi-rez downloads, in a similar fashion, I'd like to start a thread dedicated to this new frontier of high-fidelity content. ... -
iPod Touch Case question
OK, probably an easy (if not silly stupid) question for most Apple fans. I just picked up a 3rd-gen Touch (64GB), and want a soft silicon protective fitted case for it. Will a 4th-gen case fit? What about 2nd-gen case? Have the form factors changed that much between each generation? TIA.- jpelg

KT Tunstall "Tiger Suit"?
As a fan of her past efforts, I would have normally just picked this up when it came out a few weeks ago without even thinking. However, I failed to do so at the sale price, and have been reticent to pay full price for an album I've heard nothing about (no news is not necessarily good news in... -

Who uses an HT receiver as only a DAC?
With the proliferation of some very nice DAC's inside HT receivers these days, I've started to wonder if it makes any sense to purchase a quality HT receiver with the necessary digital inputs, and use it strictly as a source for a headphone system? As in the thread title, I'm wondering who...- jpelg

24/192 DAC with switchable (on/off) upsampling?
It seems that most of the current 24/192-capable upsampling DACs force the signal to 192, or 96 at minimum. Are there any, preferably (but not limited to) current production, that allow the user to toggle upsampling completely off or on?- jpelg

Hell Freezes Over - XRCD2 vs. Redbook?
This album has been known for its recording quality, and long been a standard demo CD at audiophile shows. Does anyone have the XRCD2 version, and compared it to the standard Redbook? Also wondering about the DTS 5.1 version, and the DVD-V versions. Anyone hear them? -
Who's returned their Sennheiser HD800's?
These have been out for a few months now, and I've yet to see an "open-box" or "demo" sale at any of our big vendors at less than retail. I'm wondering if no one is returning these things within the usual 30-day window (unlikely), if the vendors sending them back to Sennheiser, or if they are...- jpelg

Bargain alert: Yamaha DVD-S1700 for $79.99
J&R has this universal player (SACD, DVD-A, Redbook) at al all-time low of $79.99 with free shipping. These are new, not refurbs. Not necessarily the best player out there, but that kind of markdown has to be considered a bargain, and a great intro to the hi-rez formats. Cheers!- jpelg

Senn HD600/650 fans on the HD800 - owners only!
...think the HD800 fares in comparison. I'd like to establish a few criteria for posting an opinion that: 1. You have to own & like the HD600's* or HD650's as your preferred reference. 2. You have to now also own a production version of the HD800's (no pre-production versions). 3. You have...- jpelg

description from Amazon: The collaboration between Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Art In Manila) and Scalpelist (a.k.a. Cedric LeMoyne of Remy Zero) has yielded a beautifully haunting collection, influenced by David Lynch soundtracks, 10cc, and 4AD records. It's a balance of light and dark; a... -

Bluetooth Mouse?
I'd like a wireless mouse for my laptop when I use it at the desk. The idea of any kind of dongle, even the smallest USB one, irks me. My laptop has built-in Bluetooth, so my thought is to get a bluetooth-capable mouse. Seems there are not nearly as many offerings as USB-types. Plus, they...- jpelg

It's listed under "older products" section of Simaudio's website. But it's still available new (NOS?) online. Seems to have a well-thoughtout headphone section, and looks nicely constructed. Good to have a full preamp & headphone amp in one box. Anyone ever heard this, or can point to...- jpelg

Can someone explain the Petro market to me?
Gas prices rose steadily all year to the high point where I was paying over US$4.50/gallon (>$60 to fill the tank of my sedan each week). We've been told how discord in the middle east has caused price of raw petro to go up and up and up. Which, of course, has a direct affect on gasoline...- jpelg

Question for sellers re: Paypal & creditcards
