Stumbled upon the ADL cables by Furutech, seems very interesting as Furutech is pretty reputable, also seems to be the one source of commercially available OCC SPC cable with tough rubber sheathing that looks like it doesn't need to be handled with white gloves.   However, what's with the lack...

Those little optical/toslink ports with the inward flipping door keep breaking on me.   The first time it was probably my fault, I pulled out the plug at an angle, the skewed force probably ripped out the door.   I was super super careful afterwards, and recently found that the little door...

Forget books, hand bending the metal extensions and various other techniques seen around the web. I have developed what I believe to be the ultimate method to stretch HD650/HD600 headband to your ideal clamping force with zero risk of damage and keep the metal extension smooth without any...

Hi,   Looking for the perfect headphones for my father, I have given him a few very nice headphones to use but he always gravitates back towards a pair of crappy Sony MDR-V150 on-ears with fraying pleather earpads that's falling apart because it doesn't isolates at all, but also doesn't leak...

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f12/mi...60/index2.html I thought about whether to post this outside of feedbacks forum, but I am too damn pissed off to let this event to possibly sink into obscurity. How does he have the balls to paint me, the victim, as a scammer and throw the veil of...

For quite a few years now I keep finding myself having a lot of trouble picking out conversations, especially when it is noisy like in the school hallway or outside. Such as when my friend walking in front of me, and I walk behind, and I have a really hard time catching what he was saying...

problem solved: finally found by search function, it seems that the Google search is much more versatile in finding information..... sorry for the trouble.

I'll keep it short and simple:I do not have golden ears, if the sound quality improves only a smidgen I probably can't tell. This is my first proper source (besides a consumer SONY portable CD player, the other one's a crappy on-board sound card). I use built-in amp instead of dedicated amp...

A good portion of my music collection is 192kbps MP3s, and now I find myself increasingly attuned to difference of quality (especially details in the string instruments) between those and the 320kbps tracks. I encoded them before I visited Head-Fi and got my DT770/pro, and initially I...

...so I'm looking to hook him up with a open headphone. The DT770pro is nice and all, but sometimes it feels really claustrophobic with no ambient sound due to its isolating nature, it feels like my eardrums are being pushed from inside out, like the sound in my head is trying to push past my...

Don't quite understand why many people do this... it makes it really hard to make an informed decision in buying as well as selling stuff. I fail to see any benefit to it.

Realized the importance of good source so I sold my amp to get an EMU 0404. Previously I got the amp partly for my dad who enjoys audio and uses analogue equipment but he is too busy nowadays to really sit down and make use of the equipments... besides his stuff is mostly on CD anyways, which...

This Saturday I was shoveling snow in front of my house, we had several huge snowfalls and the snow had piled up really really high, and the two way street was turned into single lane of traffic with snow on both sides. The things is that those two sides aren't even, the snow pile on the...

My first time shipping stuff from my place and I'm just wondering which method is the optimal route to go... I was thinking just going to the Canada Post office and ask for a method that include tracking, but then I was wondering if going with some other company like Purolator would be...

I only have 23 (now 24) posts since I've been a member in December. I just posted an ad in Amp for sale, and then I half-mindedly checked the requirements again: 50 posts minimum. So I quickly added an edit to admit my error.... And then I was dumbfounded to realized that I had so...

I was browsing over at Fredmiranda looking at their review database for my Rebel XT, and just thought to myself: wouldn't it be nice to have something similar for audio gears? Of course it'll be much more subjective, but at least with everyone submitting individual reviews it'll come to an...

This one here has all the features I need for a great price, some people reported it being great but they don't have anything to compare with, and there's someone saying that it is only slightly better than Airport Express's DAC. Anyone compared it to a more recognizable DAC like the EMU 0404...

I live in an old house, and the power here isn't very good - light dims when refrigerator's compressor starts up etc... So when I got my desktop computer with a nice widescreen LCD back a few years ago, I purchased an APC Line-R Voltage Regulator to keep the voltage consistent and avoid brown...

I'll just say that I'm absolutely clueless on tube amps except some gist of how they work and some perceived sound signature based on various descriptions. There are, however, some question on the back of my mind for a while now, I keep getting hints from various postings that tube amps are...

I'm looking all over my 15" MacBook Pro, but couldn't find any line out for audio, there's only Headphone/Optical-Out port and Line-in/Optical-In port. So do I just use Headphone port as a line out port? Hows the quality? I'll be satisfied if its "OK" and up, but if it "SUCKS" then I'll...

Well, after some great advice and information search on Head-Fi, I splurged on the DT-770 Pro/80 ohm for Christmas and they have finally arrived! First let me tell you that this is my first high end headphone, my most expensive experience in headphone before this is my beater - Sony MDR-V150...

WTH? Sorry guys Double Post Just found this duplicate thread, I think my browser did some weird stuff on me... Somebody delete it!

Hi guys, this is my first post here. I really got tired of my Sony MDR-V150, and finally decided its time to upgrade. And what d you know? Headphone search on the web all lead me to this place. So... I lurked and read up on a lot of post, but I still need some recommendation on my...
