I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I'm in need of some expertise service.  I recently purchased a Millett Hybrid amp with diamond buffers (db) and one of the DIP8 pins on the db snapped off somehow.  I no longer have my soldering iron and quite frankly, replacing it is beyond my...

I need to set a record straight.  We all know flipping in the forums is breaking the rules regardless if the item was purchased in the head-fi forsale forums or elsewhere (ebay, Amazon, audiogon, craigslist, heatware...etc).    Now, what if an item was purchased for under market value and...

One of my favorite science fiction author passed today. 

Died today.  Sad as she had one of the most gifted voices. A genuine talent tainted by drugs and B.B.

I know getting your universal earphones reshelled is a craps shoot when it comes to sound preservation, fit, and overall workmanship. Why we choose one company over the other usually involves price and reputation as we know the price for reshell service can be as much as half difference. Money...

Opened May 30, 2011.    The purpose of this new thread is similar to many others but in a more current content.  I'm sure most of us have purchased from ebay and many of us, myself included also sell on ebay.  Despite some good deals can be had, some of us got scammed in the process. ...

Dear Fellow Head-fiers,   First, I want to state upfront that although some of my thoughts may sound like ranting, well, some of it is, but the underlining tone and direction is more of personal observation than anything else.   Like many of you, I live and work in the most overly worked...

Is it just me, or has some head-fier accounts have been hijacked and purposely used to fraud other head-fiers by selling vapor stuff?  Is head-if easy to hack into?  I bring this up because I'm a frequent seller and lurker in the forsale threads and find a lot of sour deals, some are from...

Fellow head-fiers. I read inputs from various Klipsch Custom 3 owners with some not having the stiff and kink prone wires. All three that I've owned, which were brand new, but were not purchased from "authorized" dealers have suffered the dreaded kink issue. For those who haven't experienced...

Sadly, I don't have the funds to pull the trigger, but you might. Get the awesome Denon AH-D7000 for $549. The vendor looks legit and they say it's in stock. Get the 7000 for the retail ticket price of 5000. They even have the 2000 for less than $200. Denon AH-D7000 Around-Ear Stereo...

Dear fellow head-fiers, Since I joined the great head-fi community in April 2009, my previous experience of so-called "high-fidelity" came from Sennheiser CX300, Koss PortaPro and KC75, Etymotics ER6i, Shure E4C, Sennheiser HD280, and I was modestly content. By chance I saw a retro...

Days like this, I regret not getting central air installed when the furnace got replaced. I'm sweating bullets as I'm typing this.

Fellow head-fiers, I apologize if the subject has already been addressed. If so, please kindly direcect me. If not, does anyone know of a portable amp that has 1/4 headphone connection? I know that Xin amps can have this feature as well as a 1/4 and 1/8 combo, but I don't have the patience...

I had the good fortune of snagging the Xenos X1HA-EPC headphone amp recently on eBay for a very good price. There was comprehensive review and this model was in the top ten, I believe. I don't have much experience with other portable amps, but my ears are in heaven with this amp combined with...
