So, I'm looking for a cheap entry-level speaker (bookshelf) and integrated amplifier. I was wondering if any of you guys know a good site liek head-fi that specialize in spekaers not just headphones.. or any suggestion on products are also welcome. I'm looking for something around $300 MAX used.

So I just received my Eastern Electric MiniMax CD. Wow, it sounds amazing. I don't have any other hi end CDP to compare the sound to but it is just so darn different to my portable sony walkman. I was convinced that a good source mattared with a Sony CE595, but this upgrade made me a "source...

Gah how much would it cost to get someone to make a enclosure for M3? . . .

My new HD650 just arrived and I'm listening to it while typing this. Man, who said the difference between HD580 and HD650 is minimal.........you are so WRONG. All my music sound completely differnet with this headphone. So much more "imaging", so much smoother yet faster and mid and bass...

OK...Could someone please give me some tips on cutting out the panel on chasis? I screwed up 2 times. I'm using a dremel to cut the hole. But now, I need to cut a metal chasis and I'm not very confident that my dremel will cut it. HELP~

Hello, I'm thinking about buying DAC-1. Does anyone have a DAC-1 in Atlanta, I could try out for 30min? James

So, I just finished building my pimeta and guess what .. .I 'm not satisfied. Im building PPA. And this time, I decided I'm going to make it a high quality one with high quality components. If I want high quality components, it makes sense to me to use high quality solder and hook-up...

I just finished building my pimeta, and there seem to be a significant volume difference btween left and right.right is so much weaker. Any ideas on how I can fix this? James

My cmoy is very distorted when connected to a line out where as it works fine when connected to the headphone jack.. What could be wrong ?

So here is an experimental CMOY I built in like 3 hrs. It contains the cheapest parts imaginable and is naked I built it to see if the amp is worth the money. and geez, its so worth the money. I'm gonna build another one with a proper enclosure next time.

What does a pre amp actually do technically? What constitutes a 'good' headphone amp in terms of technical specification? I mean is having a flat freq response what we are going for? or coloration of the sound?
