http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=116249 I have the amp described in the above link. I bought the amp knowing there would be a bit of white noise with it. Now, I love the sound of it but while there is no sound it can be somewhat annoying to have that white noise. Generally...

I just said good night to my coworker we'll call him "Joe." The conversation went something like this: "Have a good evening Joe." He then looked at me and got a weird smile on his face and said, "Well, Matt it would only be a good evening if when I got back to my RV, the really cute chick...

I really haven't seen too many people in Arizona. gurus and myself tried setting up a meet but it looks like that fell through, argh! Anyway, there has to be more people than I think that visit here and live in AZ.

I listen mainly to classic rock and classical music. I am looking for something that will play .wav files as this is the format all my music is ripped to. iPod is right out. Now, I have a HeadRoom Airhead on the way and my current set of portable cans are the PortaPros. I may get some ER4Ps with...

http://www.anthemav.com/OldSitev1/frames/preamp2fr.html Is this a good amp? A coworker of mine has this and he said I can come over and give it a listen. I can't wait.

http://www.markertek.com/Product.asp...&search=0&off= That's the cable I'm considering using, would this work? I'm also going to need a 1/4" adapter. I'm trying to find one in the catalog but this is a whole bunch of stuff to decipher. I already have two mini XLR connectors just in case I...

Saturday night I was visiting my mother's but unfortunately she had to work. So I hoofed it over to my friend's house and woke him up. Turns out he was supposed to be at a recording studio a half hour before he woke up. I asked if I could tag along. I could. Apparently my friend's classmate...

I am thinking about upgrading my source. I currently have a Hercules GameTheater XP. Unfortunately there seems to be a good deal of interference from the DVD-ROM drive. I was thinking I could get an Audigy 2ZS for gaming purposes and then run the optical to a DAC avoiding the crap on the Audigy...

Ever since I've been getting into better sound I've noticed that my experience in reading has gained a better quality to it. What are your favorite authors? Mine are in no particular order: George R.R. Martin Orson Scott Card Janny Wurts Greg Bear David Brin Raymond E. Feist Mark...

I am currently in a trade that consists of my DT770s for some AKG K271S and I just ordered some Koss KSC75 for portable use. I hear that the K271S is bass lean. I am not much of a bass head so no worries. How are the KSC75s? I read through the posts on here but would like to hear a few more...

I am looking for some DT770 pads. I have a pair of 770s but I don't want to cannibalize those. What I'm looking to do is repad my AudioTechnica ATH-AD7s with some DT770 pads.

Good stuff. My mom bought it from a microbrewery in Sedona, AZ. $7.50 a six pack is completely worth it. Goes down nice and smooth. I don't know how my friends can drink Bud and Coors.

At the moment I currently have what's in my signature. I'm thinking of getting my Beyers turned into 'Darth Beyers.' I am also thinking about getting either the K501s or the K271S. I am leaning more toward the K271S at the moment than either the 'Darth Beyer' or the K501. Please give me your...

Are there any? I would really like to open up the midrange. Would a recable help?

A neighbor of mine lent me his portable Audible mp3 player for a book on tape. The book was Ringworld. I noticed that the sibilant sounds of the spoken word were grating on my ears. I saw the Radio Shack pad with quarter mod and decided that I would do that. The book's sound was MUCH better...

I just read the THG review. The Fort 4 looks good. I currently have a Fort 3 and a GTXP so I know I like Hercules sound cards. I've looked through Hercules' US site and many veritable online vendors and see no mention of this. Is it not set for release yet?

Turkeystuffer By Mark Crockett. Now, Mark was a coworker of mine and all he would ever talk about were the books he was working on. Anyway, I bought the book today and figured that I'd help Mark out some. I read the thing in approximately 2 hours. DAMNED GOOD! I was very surprised. Mark was...

I am currently using Grado SR80s and I foresee an upgrade to SR225s in the next few months here. I'm also thinking about some MS1s but I've yet to hear those so I can't say. Anyway, what kind of amp should I get? I'm looking for a budget of about $250. This will be connected to my computer via a...

For the newbies like me. I am new to this world and I keep hearing that I should amp my headphones. The amps I've heard of so far are CMOy, Pimeta, and PPA. What are the advantages of each? I'm looking for something cheap so ~$150 or lower. Also, are there any guides to building your own amps...

I just bought each of these and I was wondering if the GTXP would output enough power so I could use the Grados. I currently have a Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1 in one of my other rigs, I love it, but when I try to use some headphones on it it sounds too quiet. Will I have this problem with the...
