Any advice from people who have gone through a similar situation? I just recently graduated and have been looking for a part-time job to get by for the next year. Where I'm currently living, getting by means making > $1000. I've been looking for about a month now, applying to a bunch of odd...

As you all know, the DPS for the Gilmore Lite is just about impossible to find now, so my friend offered to build a Sigma 22 for me. Now, the problem for me is finding an enclosure that will match the Glite. I'm pretty sure the Glite uses the Lansing MicroPak but that isn't quite large enough to...

Does anyone know where I can get the DT770 headband cover? I've been using my HF-1s for a while now and would like to increase their comfort without paying for the RS-2 headband or custom lambskin ones.

Well, Head-Fi has been the most knowledgeable online community I've ever been apart of, so I suspect quite a few of you have experience in investing. I've spent the majority of my day looking over how to begin an initial investment with a low minimum. I'm still a college kid but this summer, for...

I know the w5000's fit, but does anyone know if the w1000's fit?

I recently moved and had separated my headphones from the cushions and 3D wings and I have lost them. Does anyone know where I can find replacements? Audiocubes used to carry them, but unfortunately they no longer do. I may of had possibly found replacements for the ear cushions at bluetin for...

I was hoping a few knowledgeable folks could help me with my dilemma. My cd player output to RA-1 is just too loud to listen to for long periods. I've done a lot of searching and have decided that RCA attenuators, like the offerings from Harrison Labs, will be the best bet until I get a new...

I'm running a modded XCD-88 to my RA-1 and I find the volume to be just too loud! It's frustrating enough to almost make me sell the cd player. For comparison's sake, an unaltered output of the 1212m is just about as loud, so I use a -15db trim pot. Am I alone in thinking a standard output ->...

Well, I've got a budget large enough now to finally acquire a legitimate RA-1. Currently, I've an MS-1 and will be amping that headphone. In the future, I will pick up the rs-1, with perhaps the ms-2i as a stepping stone. I need an amp that will more than adequately drive lower end Grados and...

I just stumbled across this. For those who dislike using iTunes or prefer using Foobar, you no longer need to have iTunes installed to transfer songs to your iPod. foo_pod Hope this ends up being useful to someone other than myself.

Well, I hate to do this and ask for help. I had my plan all figured out...I intended to build a new silent pc, move the 1212m to that, and eventually upgrade to a ~$1000 DAC ala Benchmark/Bel Canto/Apogee/etc. Well, for embarassing reasons I will not enumerate, the computer is out of the...

So before I reformatted my computer today, the audio was working just fine. I was using foobar and the asio.exe plug-in outputting at 32bit fixed point. Now, it only works at 16bit. If run at 32bit, I receive the "unsupported sample rate" error. Any ideas?

Alright, this is becoming very frustrating. I'm no computer newbie, yet I can't get an iPod to work? It'll charge by usb, but will not be detected by iTunes, the iPod updater, or the installation disk to configure it. Any ideas?

My setup is as follows: Foobar -> Emu 1212m -10db minimum with asio strip and a send within it to the I/O card -> headphone amp -> ms-1. The gain in my headphone amp is too high to support -10db from the EMU at a comofortable listening level, but with a send to the I/O card, I am unable to...

I'm looking at getting some new interconnects for my computer-as-source, going from the 1212m to a diy amp (in sig). The headphile cpu series with its additional shielding seems optimal for computer use, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this line of cable. I was thinking of...

I was wondering if wireless audio systems were worth their price in sound quality. If I buy one, I'm planning on having my computer feed audio to a wireless receiver in my room. Anyone have thoughts on its sound quality, or is it just a gimmic product?

So far, I know of three versions: the hd-25-1, hd-25sp, and plain vanilla hd-25. I know the hd-25-1 is the top of the tier, but how do the other compare? I plan on getting them for my friend. Main uses include : drum monitor and computer (music/gaming) usage. Any other headphones to recommend...

Alright, so I'm running out of material to listen to, so I need some suggestions to look into. Firstly, rock. I enjoy harder rock without going full out metal and with punk roots, such as Taking Back Sunday and Thursday. The thing that turns me off to metal is just screaming. I enjoy singing...

I might be kind of tired, but I can't hear a difference between the high sample rate and regular sample rate modes. Also, do any of you hear a difference between kernel streaming and wave out? Wave out + normal sample rate is most convenient for me, as it doesnt have any volume imbalance or bug...

Does not fully charging a new lithium-ion battery degrade its performance? When I received my dell DJ, I only charged it for about half an hour before unplugging it and loading my songs. On cell phones, it always states to fully charge the battery before using it. Does it really degrade...

well, I planned on "upgrado"ing to the ms pro or rs-1, so I searched the forums for comparisons between these two headphones and other ones, as well. I stumbled upon something which doesn't make me feel very comfortable. In this thread, (3rd or 4th post from the bottom, more is elaborated on in...

plain and simple, using an rs-1 out of a source like an ack dack or a similar dac, what are the characteristics of the rs-1 with an ra-1, and with a gilmore light or v2, and ultimately, which do you prefer? i will get around to auditioning and listening for myself, but wuld like opinions from...

so here i am, ready to save up atleast $1000+ to go all out for a home setup. My first big purchase will be an amp, which will be paired with one of the higher end grado 'phones (ms-2, rs-1/ms pro, hp1000, or the big one - ps-1) and im wondering which amp will match with most of these. i might...

what are some good programs to convert .wav files to flac or lame mp3? i dont feel like ripping a cd twice.

sorry if this is in the wrong forum, and if it is, please delete/move as u feel necessary. im wondering if idealsound offers a discount to head-fi members on the shure e2c. if they do, how do i receive a discounted price? and if they dont, then i guess im ordering from ecost.com, as the price...
