I wanted to try something quick and simple to get my headphones connected to the dock connector to see if I noticed any improvement in sound prior to making my own LOD.   So I took the white cable that I use to sync and charge my phone, put a female to female usb connector, then a usb to...

we are trying to get pregnant, well my wife is trying and I am a willing participant. Anyway, she wants to increase her exercise by walking daily with our iphone. I want a decent set of headphones where she can enjoy the music and answer the phone while she walks. I think the Klipsch image...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the sound to come out of a USB port instead of the headphone out? Right now my 2.1 sound system comes out of my Headphone jack, I would like to buy something like the Musiland currently for sale on this board or use my Zero Dac - just something to...

I am usually the last to know about things like this, but it was just send to me so I thought I would share in the off chance there is someone else who did not know....I have not tried this so no clue if it is true or not. I saved the video on my computer, but the upload failed so I can't...

Greetings. I went to staples and bought a 12v PC cooling fan, cut off the original Molex adaptor, found an old 12v (output) adaptor from some long lost phone or who-knows-what, connected the two with some solder and heatshrink and voila, nice little fan. Actually, the first time I plugged...

I have read a lot of web sites, watched the Youtube videos and searched the fourms here....all to be terribly more confused then when I thought I had it figured out. In a basic RCA to RCA interconnect, does the ground need to be of equal or greater signal strength then the source wire? my...

I knoq Qable sells these, but is there anywhere in North America? Qables | High Quality Custom Made Qables thanks

If the description of the plug says it must use RG6 coaxial cabling, is this an absolute 100% must, or just a strong suggestion? so long as the right ends of the wire are soldered to the proper spots on the plug does it really matter?

Normally I pester poor Robsix with this stuff, but his mailbox is full (or he blocked me from sending him more!) I recently (and finally) bought the Asus Xonar HDav deluxe and when it arrived I realized I needed a 4 pin female molex adapter plus a SATA Y connector to power this sucker up New...

I just installed a Xonar HDAV Deluxe, it requires power and has a 4-pin (male) ATX. (4 pins in a row)The only extra item in my Dell XPS which says P7 on the side and appears to come from the PC power supply is a 6 pin (female 2 rows of 3). I have spent numerous hours searching for a simple...

the poll is straightforward, which is the best kit to get a newbie started in DIY? I live in Canada so search ebay.ca for option 3

I searched this site and decided easier to start a new thread. I want to recable my Ultrasone 580's I also picked up a few turntables recently and would love to rewire them completely. where to start? I have obvious need of a soldering set... 2in1 SMD Soldering ReWork Station HOT AIR...

I have a modest library of around 3000 songs, and have recently bought a boatload of vinyl but sometimes if I am playing poker online or something like that I don't feel like going through and getting a playlist together or need to worry about what to do when the record ends.... I use iTunes...

so I bought a tiny little tube from ebay, he turned around and charged me $20 to ship to Canada. package came very late, on the front is the USPS sticker with postage paid - $1.49..... do I open a complaint with ebay? I emailed the seller but don't expect to hear anything... really sucks I...

too many old threads to filter through. apologies for my laziness so I am looking for current Ultrasone 50 owners to let me know what amps they use, or if amps are needed. I currently have a 09 version of the Zero DAC with modded Darkvoice 336i which I use for my AKG K702's. Picked up the...

The 2010 Winter Olympics start tomorrow. My impression is Team USA is weak, NBC is losing over $150 million and Americans simply don't care about these games. The opposite, IMHO, is the case in Canada, we are for once expected to dominate the overall medal count, you can't spit without hitting...

My whole obsession and passion with headphones started about a year ago when I got a new computer. Beautiful new Dell with the Core i7 processor, 24" Dell hi-def monitor, Logitech z5500 sound system, built in blu-ray. Loved it but had an issued. My family room is in the basement. Essentially...

Obviously the source is crucial, but for the purpose of this post let's assume that we are dealing with a perfect source, in a perfect room, with perfect everything. What I am wondering is, in order of quality, how do the different formats stack up? Would it be: SACD CD FLAC ALAC wav...

So I am fairly new to purchasing on ebay. I was looking at this: Vintage Garrard Type A Turntable w Original Dust Cover! - eBay (item 120515089977 end time Jan-18-10 01:00:42 PST) It was low when I first looked at it, and it is very rare to get a dust cover for this model. I placed a bid and...

too good to be true? Ultrasone Edition 8 S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound - eBay (item 220539075020 end time Jan-14-10 12:02:02 PST)

okay, I read the sticky first and the links are very outdated. I received my Zero 09 version today. I am using the optical out of my pc to the optical in on the zero then the RCA out to the RCA in on my Darkvoice 336i and then to my not fully burned in 702's. I use winamp pro as my player and...

Juniper and Uncle Erik really should collaborate to make a stickie on getting into vinyl with explanations of all the lingo (shell head, cartridge, RIAA, clamp, isolation table...and so on). I am wondering if anyone has experience with Bellari Vp-130? It has a headphone out, but I would...

I am hoping Juniperlater or Unkle Eric come to the rescue here... I recently purchased a darkvoice 336i amp, love the sound with my AKG K702's. My father in law had a few turntables lying around and thought it would be great to hook this amp up to a turntable and listen to some great vinyl...
