I'm surprised I could not find a dedicated thread for this device... what gives? I've had one for about a week now and it's nothing short of awesome. Ease of use, pretty seamless integration with a multitude of musical services (namely Tidal), and then there's the thing that surprised me the...

To date i'm still shocked how good this little player sounds... warm, detailed (without being excessively so) and rolled off in all of the right ways (zero fatigue). Not only does this player sound better than any other portable I've ever heard but it's also been more pleasant to listen to then...

Hi guys,   Was wondering if someone here can maybe give me some advice in regards to an issue I'm having with a pretty old Headroom Maxed Out Home Amp. Several months after purchasing it used I started getting "clicking" and "popping" noises when listening to my headphones, and sometimes one...

I've had these for a while now, but thought I'd post some pics of what might be one of the rarest Grado headphones I've seen (at least from my experience). It's a vintage Grado SR-80 with the HP-1 headband, aluminum mesh driver cover (usually only seen on the SR100's, SR200's and later the...

This might be a stupid question, but anyone know if these two tubes are interchangeable? More specifically, I am still using an old Singlepower MPX3 amplifier with 6SN7 tubes across the board. I noticed that this combo works fine with high impedence cans but leaves something to be desired with...

Kind of random, but anyone know of a place I can get a single Beyerdynamic DT150 driver in the U.S.? I ended up blowing one of them :(   I still hear sound coming out of the driver but it is faint, so I assume it's a goner. Any advice? Thanks 

I was initially planning to get a stand alone DAC for the PS Audio GCHA amp I bought recently, but I was kind of surprised at the internal dac of the headphone amp. It's not half-bad... in that it's pretty enjoyable. It sounds good enough that the apparent limitations don't seem to detract from...

Is there any way I can use my Denon receiver as a DAC? Currently I have it connected via an optical cable coming from my sound card, and the receiver is driving my speakers. I was wondering though if i can use the DAC in the receiver and somehow then connect my headphone amp to it.   I have...

These things sound amazing out of my modest rig Yes, better than my HD580's or pretty much anything that I've ever owned. They are extremely neutral, but in no way boring imo. Silky smooth treble and a midrange that is in no way recessed. Bass is also spectacular, and not lacking at all...

Don't know how many of you there are, but for those that have these cans, do you use them with the black foam and ring in place or did you take it the two out? When I first tried them stock the bass was insane... definitely not something I could live with. I could feel the drivers rattling ...

I have a question. How long do you guys usually wait before opening a dispute with the seller in Paypal? I purchased the item about 3 and half weeks ago and haven't received it yet. I've emailed him multiple times and usually get a very brief, unhelpful one sentence reply. He first said they was...

Over the last week or so I've been hearing an incredibly annoying squeaking noise in my left ear when I move my jaw and/or my neck up and down. It was insignificant at first, so I didn't really notice it, but now it's pretty loud and driving me crazy. Anyone know what could be causing this...

Hey, So I was looking for a new source about a week ago and stumbled on an Audiolab 8000cd for just $150 on ebay. This was the older model of the player, but I did a little research and found out that the player cost around $1500 when it was first introduced. Not too shabby I suppose I...

Hey, Anyone know what the deal is with Amazon and their phone services? I noticed that if you sign up for a 2 year family plan through amazon they basically throw in up to 5 pretty nice phones for free. I just checked the cingular/at&t website and you would have to pay upwards of 100...

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/14/sc...=5070&emc=eta1 Not sure if this might have been posted before, but this is quite possibly the most bizzare article I've ever read. Just thinking about the possibility of something like this makes me cringe

Hey, For those of you who have tried the comply tips for the Ety's, how did you like them? I've heard a lot of good things about them but I finally got mine recently and I'm pretty disappointed. They are unquestionably the most comfortable tips I've used, but they sound weird. By weird I mean...

I ordered the Ety ER4P last weekend from amazon and I'm having some afterthoughts about them. First of, is the 'p' version worth it in my circumstance? I'm going to be using them primarily out of an iRiver H120 and I'm wondering if that's a sufficient enough source to drive the 's' version. I...

So it was New Years night and I got way too excited and accidentally turned over my beer on my laptop. Thankfully the laptop works fine after hours of drying and wiping, but later I realized I also got some into my Iriver which was laying right by the laptop. Now when I turn the thing on I get...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060828/...benet_dna_dc_7 I think this guy is a complete nut case, albeit a clever one What do you guys think about this whole thing?

This is hilarious. I laughed so hard I cried http://youtube.com/watch?v=BHJ9eUkjWgY&search=cats

Since I think the headphone out of my Iriver H120 isn't really doing any justice to the AD2000's, I'm looking to buy a new amp for them. I know many of you have never heard these phones, but does anyone have any recommendations? My budget is around $300 I was looking at the X-can V3 and the...

Yeh, so I've been saving up for a while now and I just realized I have (at least at this moment) enough disposable income to get in on the RS1 action. So basically I want to know whether I should pull the trigger on these or go some alternate route that would be cheaper and possibly just as...

My H120 just arrived, but the AC adapter that came with mine is the european version. Stupid question, but what exactly do I need to make it work with the US outlet? Can I just get one of those adapters from radioshack? If so, can someone point me toward the correct one? Just wanted to ask...
