With all the discussion about Alps Pots, I thought it was time to throw in a related item. I have a small quantity of miniture (9mm?) Alps pots. They have a rotary switch (single pole) and two independent 10k linear potentiometers (pull knob to access the second). They appear very well...

Exciting Times: Discussion on Portable amp for low impendence phones The story so far ... I started the Headwize thread thread on Headwize (id 2703): Best opamp-buffer combination for a portable multi-loop amp for low impedence phones assuming the multi-loop configuration was in fact the...

Hi all I started a thread on Headwize (id 2703): Best opamp-buffer combination for a portable multi-loop amp for low impedence phones which is developing into a discussion on the best design for a battery powered portable amp for low impendence phones (such as Sony, Etymotic and Grado...

As of right now (after about 12 hours), there have been 50, 51, and 17 votes in each of the 3 polls <US$100, US$100-300, >US$300 respectively. I would guess this means around 70 different people have voted. These 70 odd people own 286 phones from the list (an average of 4 each). The top...

Having heard tales of the wonderful bass response of the Sony EX70s, I wondered if I could burn equalized CDs to turn my ER6s into EX70s - easily done using Joe Bloggs' settings for Naoki Shibata's Winamp EQ plugin, but inverting - see: - Moving the EX70 up from 2nd position behind ER-6 and...

Hi all Question: Has anyone experimented with burning CDs specifically for use headphone listening (eg inclusion of crossfeed, added depth, etc) and possibly for a particular phone (eg adjusted frequency response to suit)? If so, what tools do you use (eg Winamp's equalizer, Izotope's...

The survey: "I use MP3s for ..." showed that around two thirds of Head-Fi-ers regularly download MP3s. And yet most people still buy lots of CDs (or LPs - for those so inclined). Personally, I have tended to buy more CDs since I started downloading MP3s - from a real physical CD shop where...

The questions:1. Which 10 (or so) CDs are on at the top of your wishlist? 2. Why are they there (eg read reviews, heard samples, have MP3s, have other CD by same artist)? 3. How important is price in determining what you will buy? See also Survey 1: What CDs have you bought recently?

The questions: a) What are the last 10 CD/LPs you have bought* and over what period did you buy them? b) Which of these have become favorites? * ie CD/LPs that you actually chose to spent your hard earned cash or other credits on (as opposed to other means of music procurement). See...
