Hi all I'm currently looking at putting together some kind of budget music PC/server, with the idea of leaving it on 24/7 and being able to play music without firing up my noisy PC, and also serving music for the other PC's and laptops in the house. It'll likely end up taking care of my...

I received a used set of Super.Fi 3 yesterday that I picked up for a good price, but I can't seem to get a good sound from them at all. Now I'm almost 100% certain i've got a good seal, I even went and bought a set of Comply T500's which seem to fit quite well. But the sound is absolutely...

I know this topic has probably been done to death, and I have searched around but I just end up confusing myself more! Just picked up an SL1200 from a friend, and have temporarily borrowed an Ortofon OM10 out of my old deck which is getting sold. Even with this cheap cartridge, I'm quite...

Just a heads up to my fellow Australian Head-fiers, the latest JB-Hifi catalog has the HD25's listed as $189! The picture in the catalog shows the HD25-1 not the SP's, so go grab a pair while they last! I would if I didn't already have some

Hey all, so happy to see this site back up again! Just wondering if anyone could recommend an amp (non portable) for my Beyer DT440's and Senn HD25-1 II? Or is it a waste of money to buy an amp for these cans? I like the look and pricing of the Little Dot MK IV, and wouldn't mind getting...

To be honest, I was getting a little bit over the Foo Fighters in the last couple of years, but I got hold of this album the other day. It's a live acoustic album, and wow, it's fantastic. Fairly well recorded also. Listening to 'My Hero', 'Best Of You', 'Times Like These' and 'Everlong'...

Just a quick question folks, looking at my CX300's yesterday, it occurred to me that the mesh parts are going to get dirty/blocked up eventually, probably pretty quickly actually seeing as I wear them mainly at the gym. They don't appear to be removable, anyone know of a way to clean them? I...

Might be able to pick up the above DAC cheaply, how would it go with an AV-710? Does it need the separate jitter reducing unit?

Hey all, I recently picked up a NAD 5120 turntable, I have since replaced the stylus with an Ortofon 10, and I am fairly sure the vertical tracking force is about right, however I am still getting a fair bit of sibilance or distortion on the top end, mainly noticeable on vocals. I have tried...

Hey all, I just purchased a nice setup as my first real entry into the audiophile world . It consists of a NAD 320BEE amp, 521BEE Cd player, and Orpheus Aurora 1 speakers. I want to buy a set of stands to put these speakers on, as they are just sitting on top of a cabinet and I don't want them...

Just bought a Sony D-33 on ebay for $AUD 5.50! Hehe the postage costs more than the unit, but the total cost is $11.50. Just thought I'd let everyone know my latest (and by FAR the cheapest) addition to my collection! Hopefully I should get it this week

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to try and adjust my Sony D-25 for me, in exchange for a small fee?! I have tried adjusting it myself with a little success, but it has just stopped reading again now, and I don't have the guts to poke around inside it again! I am in Melbourne Australia...

Just bought a pair of DT-440's, and I'm now seriously considering buying an amp. Portability is not a huge issue, however all of the amps in the price range I am looking at are portable anyway! Currently looking at amps such as the Headroom Airhead, Meier Porta Corda, Xin Supermini/Supermicro...

Just got a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-440's, I am fairly impressed with them out of the box, but I am hoping they slightly increase with burn in. Basically, I want to know the best way to do this, I have read the FAQ but want to know how long etc. these particular headphones take in peoples...

Hi all, I am a bit of a newbie to the head-fi world, currently I have a fairly modest setup, a Nomad Xtra with Koss KSC-50's, and have a Sony D-25 coming this week! The only 'bigger' cans I own are Sennheiser HD-433's which everyone knows, suck! I am in the market for a new set of cans, the two...
