I arrived at home late last night from a business trip to find a box from LaRocco Audio. Since all the audio gear is at the office, I didn't even open the box until I arrived this morning. At first look, the box is beautiful! I had them make it in black with silver buttons. I went for broke...

I have an original D-15 Sony Discman. It still spins up, but recently has stopped playing discs. It's built like a tank, but needs some TLC. Any idea if it's worth anything?

I'm listening to Abraxas on SACD right now and have a nice big smile on my face. This is how I got here. I received the cable last night but couldn't do a thing with them until this morning since the cans live at the office. Removing the oem cable was quite easy. I had read about the tight...

I got this picture from Larry. He's waiting on an order of Black Gate caps to complete it. I should have it in a few days! Hopefully it will arrive about the same time as my Zu Mobius cable for the HD600s.

My PPA is due to arrive next week and I'm itching to upgrade the stock cable on my HD600 phones. Trouble is, I don't have a clue which way to go. I've read reviews here and there are at least two camps, Zu and Moon, with some Cardas believers thrown in the mix. I don't mind spending up to $200...

On blind faith I went ahead and ordered a PPA from LaRocco. I'm supposed to get the new diamond buffers and am wondering if any other head-fi folks have heard them.

I did some searching last night here and on the avsforum about the M-Audio Transit. Seems like a quality device. I'm considering using it with my X-Act DAC or maybe upgrading to a 24/96 DAC. I want to use it as an alternate source into my soon to be built PPA and Senn HD600's. I only have so...

So maybe I'm cheap. Maybe I'm just a geek. Maybe I'm crazy. How many others have built their own PPA amps? I have access to an excellent lab at work as well as some great techs who would help me do the 'hard' stuff. Is it worth the experience and will I come out with a great amp? Should I...

Watched the Sharks get smoked by the Stars last night and took the iPod/TAH/E3c Headroom iPod bag portable setup with me. On the walk back to the car, I queued up Dave Matthews Live at Central Park. Routed the wires over my ears and down the back and clipped the bag on my belt. Had zero...

I've sent a couple of questions about price/options on PPA amps to different builders without any answers in a couple of days. Are they generally very busy? How long have others waited for information? TIA,

Does anyone here run this combination? Maybe something close? I couldn't resist the deal Audio Advisor was running on top of the $25 rebate and bought the Senns. I did get to hear them out of a Nakamishi 3CD mini system at a local shop, but they couldn't open the display for me to listen on...

So I spent an hour running around today looking for a place that has a good selection of headphones to audition. I stopped at Magniloa Hi-Fi in Santa Clara and got to hear the HD 600, but no dice on the 580's or anything else. On top of that, they couldn't (or wouldn't) open the case so I could...
