I wanted the klipsch image x10 as I am a bit brand loyal.  I have not had a chance to hear them but their price dropped a ton since they came out.  I was thinking about picking up a set.   I have the image s4i and love them. I figure the x10s would be even better.   Any input?

I had a hard time getting a straight answer as to how I would like the hd650s after having the d5000s. A lot of people made it sound like I wouldn't like it/be bored (no bass etc).    This can't be farther from the truth.  I absolutely loved the d5000s It could be just that they are the...

I currently have the d5000s and a audio-gd compass dac/amp combo.  I love this setup but kinda want to add another toy to the mix, thought maybe an open headphone.   I think i am leaning towards the sennheiser hd650 and am about ready to buy em if i can a good deal on em.   Anyone want...

I am having a very hard time deciding between the hd600 and hd650.  I want to get one and be done with it, don't want to get the 600 and regret not getting the 650.  I see a lot of controversy, there being many people saying the hd600 is better than the 650.   I listen to mostly rock...

I fee like ive seen hd650s for 300$ a while ago at least at two places. I am thinking about getting some but I notice the going price from anywhere is 499. Quite a big jump unless I am wrong.   Do these phones have prices that fluctuate a whole 200$ routinely?  If so is it worth waiting or...

I have an audio-gd compass i use mostly for headphones and it is amazing for them. (DAC + Headphone Amp) I tried using it's dac part with my speaker setup and im unsure if its actually helping sound quality or not. The setup is laptop optical out -> compass dac -> magnavox 9302 tube amp ->...

I have the d5000s w audio gd compass.   Is it worth getting the hd650s? I kinda want a new toy but absolutely love the d5000s.   I am set on source, speakers, and portable.   Also have modded d1001, re-2, and s4i.   My other interest is getting the image x10 but leaning towards...

I feel pretty stocked up on audio hardware, whats next to offer some excitement or what not?  Did I miss anything? I will first say that I do use and enjoy all my stuff a lot (except vinyl which only gets used on occasion). Main rig: klipsch forte's recapped and new tweeters on a modded...

I am thinking about getting some hdams for my audio-gd compass. What is the difference between the dual and single versions?

I have an audio-gd compass that i use with some denon d5000's.     I believe it has the earth op amp in it.   I really like this amp and plan on keeping it.  I figure it might be fun to do some customization to it.    Should I buy the opamps?   I was thinking the sun and moon...

I am rebuilding a magnavox 9302 tube amp.  I am a bit confused on what kind of caps to buy.  I went to a few stores and theres a ton of different kinds of capacitors.   I believe this is my shopping list for the recap and mods i want to do: -Nicer RCA and Speaker posts -Safety capacitor...

I am wondering what the hype is about vinyl.    Pros: I dove into it and I can definitely tell that it has different sound characteristics and fidelity. I love how the bass is very rich and controlled, specifically when listening to a bass guitar, it actually sounds like one through an...

I used to play piano/keyboard growing up. I want to get back into it/ play.  I broke middle C off of my old keyboard and there's no chance of fixing it. I wanna get something that is a bit higher quality and will last me.   Would like to spend under 200$ used or new.     Can anyone...

I bought a 9302 that was supposedly working.  I cant get it to fire up. I assume I need to jump something on the molex connector. I put the speakers on the outputs, and some rca inputs, along with attempting to jump 1 & 10 pins. btw, what amp fuse should I use on it when modding?

I got a 6v6gt 8802 magnavox tube amp, is it too powerful for headphones? Ive heard it puts out anywhere from 8-12 watts.   I have some denon ah-d 5000's that i would like to power with this amp. Will this work well with them or not?  Anyway I can modify it to restrict the max power?

I want to get iems for xmas.  150$ is the absolute most, however the less, the better. Listen to techno, rock, rap, etc. Source: Macbook pro or iphone, fiio e5 as needed.   I love my denon d5000s, and my re-2's are decent.  I hated addiems, sounded very bland and nothing special about...

I am starting to have a jack failure on my re2s. I don't think it would be a good idea to recable the whole thing as the earpieces don't seem removable.  What do you guys recommend as far as recabling the jack.  I want to do a good job so that it will never wear out.  I have done a few recables...

I decided to watch my Inception DVD with my d5000's, I couldnt believe how awesome the experience was.   Usually just use my headphones with music.   Give it a try if you havent.

I figured Id try something new out for xmas. I am interested in an iem, 150$ is the absolute max, the cheaper the better obviously.   I will be using them with my macbook pro or iphone as a source. Listening to mostly electronic/techno, classic rock, and some rap. I am a basshead, so I...

I want to try vinyl out and get something enjoyable and worthwhile without breaking the bank.   I got a technics 1200 mk-2 (new tone arm and recabled), shure 97xe cartridge (hear its one of the best bang for the buck), and a 750LC preamp from phonopreamps.com. (the cartridge and preamp are...

I got a technics 1200 mk2.  I want to get a good cartridge for it.  Sound quality is number one priority.     If it is possible to get one that sounds great and can take a little scratching that might be ideal as I may want to do some mixing at some point, however I don't want to be giving...

I am getting a technics 1200 but the seller wants to keep the cartridge for another table.  What all do I need to know about cartridges on turntables as this is my first one.  Do i just buy a cartridge (and it comes with a needle) and install it/ balance?   Is there anything else i will...

I am trying to rebuild some klipsch promedia ultras and maybe upgrade them a tiny bit as they might be used with a receiver instead.   The stats are 3" fiber composite woofer and a Microtractrix tweeter (25mm).  I know the power handling is 60 watts/ channel and there seems to be a crossover...

I am wondering If i need a preamp or will my audio-gd compass do the job of amplifying a signal   Turntable -> preamp ->Headphone amp -> headphones   or will this work   Turntable -> audio gd-compass (bypassing DAC of course) -> headphones?   Any recommendations on a cheap pre...

Ive seen this a few times in high end audiophile setups, what are the sources that use big reels of film or something like that?   Any information on them?
