It seems that the general attitude to him is to politely regard him as a bit of a village fool. Why? On the broad spectrum of things he slots very neatly into the psychoacoustic phenomenon surrounding the entire audiophile business of cables, power conditions, and another not electronically...

Cold working copper to 1% strain reduces conductivity by a factor of 100.

This thing is breaking the site, remove it.

You don't have to change the forums back, but this is making me dizzy. Can you at least fix this?

I've been thinking of ordering a MS headphone to supplement my closed one. Upon doing a sample checkout, I discovered that the site inserted a 'online 25% off' coupon code. However, the total still remained the same. Is there really a 25% off, or is it applied, or is it a dead code?

I won't apologize for the picture! My amping adventures started out with a PA2V2, fed by a total bithead 'DAC.' I realized this was a less than ideal setup, and so set out to find something more desktop and proper. I settled on a CK2III built and recommended by FallenAngel, and a gamma1...

I've read and heard countless times that positional audio is super critical to FPS games. But for me I've never used positional audio in games that say it is almost needed - e.g. CS , quake live (where people walk and all that on 1v1's) because I could never hear the sound. I used to use...

I'm searching for a closed pair of headphones to complement my SR80's and I came down to these. My budget hovers around ~$200 US. I'll be using this when the house gets noisy, especially as my computer is close to the kitchen. I want to use it for games and music, so I want; - Isolation...

I have a first year background in physics (read: basically nothing). So you can understand that I'm mighty confused on how magnets can act as signal boosters. Can someone explain this to me, if it works? Also, wouldn't annealing a cable be better than cryo treating it? Annealing would...

I am extremely sensitive to noises, so I tend to listen with my headphones on the very low end of the volume spectrum. However, even so, I will experience bouts of ringing when I go to bed. Loud, high pitched ringing. This problem does not manifest itself with speakers. Is there something...

I've recently come into some free money (yay scholarships!), and while most of it will go towards my tuition, I will have a bit of leftover feel-good money. The amount ends up being about $100-200. I am looking for amps that will do a good job with my Grado and with other headphones that I...

Sort of getting more his albums, I was absolutely enchanted by his 'Unplugged' album. Where can I get more of this wonderful indulgence?

System: Total Bithead -> PA2V2 -> Grado SR80 I purchased this as an upgrade to my onboard sound. What follows is not A/B, but rather just 'absolute' impressions. For many of the tracks, I was surprised to hear that they were a bit veiled. It's hard to describe it this way, so the best way...

So, inspired by a thread in Sound Science where the OP stated he took a walk in the frozen cold with his headphones, I was enticed to do the same. First off, I'm not sure if my Grados will stand up to it. I noticed immediately the cables got stiff and the plastic felt more brittle. Well, oh...

I've been dying to find out an explanation, so here goes. It's my understanding that external DAC's or even internal sound cards will be better (by how much, I don't know) than onboard sound. This is due to removal from the motherboard circuitry as well as other factors like having their own...

Once I've started to use headphones, I noticed that a lot of music's deep / high notes tend to be biased on the right ear - it's fatiguing and can be painful sometimes. My audio set up is in my signature. Is this a fault with the hardware, or source, or my ear? For reference, I notice this is a...

[Pretty much my first time using a point and click. Nikon D50, low light setting, flash manually forced back down or left up. Results - surprisingly good, but nasty sometimes.] Hi! Long time lurker. Recently I put together a decent PC that served my uses and so stalled off the upgraditis...
