Well, my Philips 963SA won't turn on any longer. I had unplugged it yesterday and had it sitting over night in my bedroom. Went to power it on today to mess with the settings and now it just won't power on. My bedroom is kind of cold. Could this have caused it? I don't really know. It just won't...

"Might be your man, I just don't know" It's Allman Brothers night. Play it if you got it.

Has anyone else noticed the stereo effect on Nirvana's Come As You Are that has the guitar solo orbiting around the noggin' or have I lost it? Either way...I like it.

I'm currently listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood album on SACD and I must say that this is definitely one release that strongly exhibits the advantages of SACD. The guitar work is so incrediably sharp and the vocals have such a sense of space that with eyes closed one can easily...

Like the title says, I just won a Philips 963SA CD/SACD/DVD player for $200.00. I believe these ran $400.00-$500.00 new? So, not a bad price for one in excellent condition. Anyone have any experience with this particular player? If so, how is the SACD performance? I'll still be using my CAL...

I've run several searches and wasn't to really find an acceptable answer to my question. Sorry if I just missed it or didn't search properly. There is always a lot of talk of the risks surrounding leaving your headphones plugged in to a tube amp during power on/off. My question is this: What...

Now, I have a lot of good music, but I can't help myself. I'm just a complete addict. So, this means that it is time for some new tunes, and since I can't even make up my mind about what I want for dinner I'm calling out for a little Head-Fi help. Here are some albums that I'm currently...

I'm just about to enter into the world of turntables and have narrowed it down to two choices. VPI HW-19 Jr. with Audioquest PT-6 tonearm or AR ES-1 with stock tonearm So, what are your thoughts on these two tables, and what might be the better choice. Now, I'm a tiny bit familiar...

I'm going to have about $350.00 - $400.00 to play with and I'd like to pick up a new amp, tubed preferrably. I'm currently using a beautiful little RA-1 Clone with my RS-1's, and although there is very nice synergy and pretty excellent detail, I just prefer the smoothness of tubes. I've been...

I absolutely love my RS-2's, more so than I could probably describe, but you darn well know that I'm thinking about the RS-1's. After some reading I've come to two conclusions: 1.) The RS-2's are less colored than the RS-1's, providing more neutrality. 2.) The RS-1's will throw a larger...

I'm planning on doing one of two things, and, well, I just can't seem to make up my mind. I'm planning on either upgrading my RS2's to RS1's or keeping the RS2's and adding and HF1. I'm thinking that I should have just purchased RS1's, like I wanted to, from the beginning, but the RS2's sound...

My RS-2's from Headroom arrived. Listened to CSN's Helplessly Hoping. My eyes watered. Enough said.

Okay, so my home rig is slowly being pieced out (Excuse me while I sob for a moment....okay, better) and I'm going to go back to a very simplistic approach....A good pair of cans right from my soundcard. Now, I've only heard a couple of Grado's and the HD600 and HD650 driven by my soundcard, and...

Picked it up on my way home from work and listening right now. Very, very good and very well recorded. If you're a Petty fan, it's worth it.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a good place (online) to purchase volume pots and 1/4 inch headphone input components. Thanks.

Okay, so I just had a not-so-cheap Telefunken leave me for that great amp in the sky. I'm just not sure why. I purchased the tube used, but both triodes tested a bit above nominal new, and was good all around the board. Well, I didn't test the tube personally, these were the results that I...

and my wife is now looking at me funny. She just doesn't understand. This album sounds so good on my rig. Give a little love to Thriller so I don't feel oh so alone...

Anyone out there have the opportunity to listen to MoFi's cut of Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily? I'm enjoying it right now, and my oh my....It is absolutely beautiful! I highly suggest this album.

Wanted to try a poll. Black coffee for me.

I have found myself with the day off. How should I kill the hours? Why, let's tube roll! I'm starting this thread to document my experience with tube rolling the Antique Sound Lab MG Head DT/OTL MKIII. I welcome anyone and everyone to contribute past and current experiences, as well as any...

Having only recently fallen in love with the level of warmth and balance that my newly acquired Sennheiser HD600 headphones provide, I must say, that I was not anticipating these cans to provide me with much more than they already have. I do love being wrong. I've just recently recovered...

I've been doing a lot of reading into upgrading the cable for my HD600. I was first leaning towards a Zu Mobius, but after some more research I feel that the two best options for me are Cardas or Moon Audio Blue Dragon. So here I am digging a deeper hole of debt with all of you knowledgable...

Hi folks, looking to call upon the wealth of experience and knowledge floating around this place. Long story short, the Grado 225's are going to be leaving me soon(keeping my 60's though), and I'd like to find a suitable non-grado replacement. I do enjoy the Grado sound signature very well...

Now, I love the Grado sound, that is for certain, but something wierd is going on. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure. I, for the life of me, can't seem to find a balance with my 225's. No matter what I do the left/right channels seem to be off, and I mean way off. Like one side is far in...

First things first, add another one to the Grado fanclub. Now, so far, it has been an interesting ride observing the changes in my SR-60's. I'm a firm believer of burn in. I've observed it countless number of times with my father's equipment, albeit this is my first experience in the world of...
