There are 4 Ports (2 separate circuits) that are AC regenerated, and an additional circuit that filters the AC from the wall. For the time being I have 3 items being plugged into the back. 2 go to the Headroom blockhead and 1 to the Benchmark Dac1. Im wondering If it would be most beneficial...

My old gear is on the way out and the new gear just came in. It looks like I'll have all weekend to compare these two systems. Power conditioning used for both setups: PS Audio P500 w/ 5 PS Audio Plus PCs (~$2000 new) Setup 1 (old): Edit (note): Prices listed are the Prices I paid and...

Not sure if these types of posts are still allowed... Just thought Id pass this on to those interested. HD650s for $329. They are brand new and in stock as per their customer service. I am in no way affiliated with this site. I ordered a pair, and am waiting for them to get to me. They...

I've had so many problems with paypal in the past, but last year when I was building a system, Paypal was a must-have for audiogon purchases. SO I started an account, again. I did everything right and followed all the steps. I got my bank account verified, my credit card, my phone number, my...

Im looking for a DAC to pair with a Blockhead. Any recommendations welcome. Please keep price under 2k. Im considering a benchmark DAC1 atm, but am looking for other suggestions.

I'm looking for a new headphone to use exclusively for classical music. I am mainly interested in piano and classical guitar, but I want it to perform well all the way up to symphonies. I want to work around one of the following things: First, and preferably, I would like to work around my...

Just wondering if anyone has heard from him in the last month or so. I know its usually rather hard to get in touch with him, but its been over a month since my last email.

... for finding this so hilarious? http://www.kiwipix.com/atlantagrape.mpeg If this is inappropriate, go ahead and take it down.

I received my PS-1s today along with my EAR HP-4. I quickly converted the HP-4 to U.S. voltage and got underway listening. I had been listening to my 650s on my Max for the last month, so I have gotten used to that general sound. PS-1+Max - Not a bad combo, crossfeed makes almost no...

Well I did a fresh install of windows today (with my new copy of xp), and after installing everything (all newest drivers) I am having problems getting ASIO to work again. I have all the settings exactly how there were yesterday (when it was working) but it isnt outputting any sound. Can...

I ordered a new sound card from them on thursday night and aparently I entered the incorrect expiration date (I hit the back button and it reset to default 01/01). I recieved a call early the next morning as well as an email letting me know there was a small error. I missed the call in the...

I have a RME Pad on the way, and have been thinking of ordering one or two more high end audio cards to do a comparison. Anyone have a recommendations for sound cards in the same league or even a league above the RME Pad. Im looking to keep the total cost under 1k (either for one card or for...

My audio system at school is setup on the same desk as my computer monitor. Just wondering if there would be any reason to move it to a different spot. Are there any cases when it wouldnt be a good choice to have a cdp, amp, etc right next to a computer monitor?

Well I just upgraded to a p500 and until I can recover I have to live with my current power cables. (why on earth didnt I just keep my p300 and get better cables... this will be better in the long run) I have a 2.0m Ps Audio Plus, and a mini. In general, would you suspect to see a greater...

Just wondering what the differences are between these two units. It seems they have discontinued the P600 in favor of the new P500. Obviously the output is lower on the P500 and the P500 comes with Multiwave II etc. stock, but are there any significant differences between the two? They both...

Well Im moving into a new apartment for next semester (found a really sweet place), and will be moving my audio gear in with me. I need A decent shelving/rack unit for my CDP, AMP, Power Conditioner (P300, dont want it on the floor), and a lockable cabinet section to store CDs and headphones...

Looking for good protection and the ability to use the 3g ipod while in the case w/o using the remote (i.e. no ipod armor). I have the imp so i dont need to be able to use the dock w/ the case on. (just need access to the port at the bottom of the ipod) Ive done a few searches and couldnt...

*Idea* I think it would be interesting to start a thread devoted to suggested maintence for aging PCDPs. I have 2 that dont work (d-25, d-2), and one i want to see working forever (d-515) This could be a valuable resource to keep people from heading to the vintage repair thread Please...

perhaps this goes in the DIY forum, but in any case... I am interested in having someone build me a KGSS amp. Ive PM'd several people that made them in the past, but have not yet recieved responses. Can anyone make any recommendations as to who still builds them. If people are hesitant...

I'm considering taking the plunge in the next month or so, but would like to upgrade my source ahead of time. Taking into consideration an Omega II + solid state config (possibly a KGSS if i can get someone to make), what source in the 1k-2k range provides the best synergy. I have heard...

... Well since i recieved my xp-7 a few weeks ago, I had been hearing a constant hiss when used with my Shure E5's. This was not specific to the xp-7, but I have talked to several people who have had similar experiences (not just with the shures, but also other sensitive phones like the CD3ks...

Todd, I bought my xp-7 from you last week, and I was wondering if you have had a chance to try that combination. When I have the shures connected to the xp-7 there is a constant hiss (which is understandable due to the shures sensitivity), but in the left channel, the hiss is inconsistent...

Any noticeable difference between ripping to WAV in itunes vs a LAME based ripper? Itunes identifies its ripped WAV files as 1411 kbps. Edit: I should mention if itunes isnt the best choice, I am looking for mac-only software.

Well, where to start... I've had my Etymotic 4s' for a little over a year, and in that time I have really grown fond of (and not to mention used to) the sound they produce. In actuality, it was comfort factor that drove me to the shures, not the sound quality. I have owned other...

Is 1500 a good price for new OmegaII (just the phones)? Too high, too low?
