HF2's just in - first impressions
So my HF-2's finally arrived this morning after a long flight over, a spell in customs and payment of an extortionate duty charge. Nevertheless, so far it seems to have been worth it. I've been running through a variety of stuff this morning to see how they fare. Most of my comparisons are...- singular

Newbie Rockbox questions
I'm shortly receiving an iMod 5.5G ipod which already has Rockbox installed. Do I need to install any rockbox software on my computer to manage music or can I just drag and drop music files straight in there?- singular

x-post - Quandry - iMod+cable or MAD EAR+
I don't know if x-posting is de-rigeur here but this question kinda crosses two possible fora, and I just realised this one probably gets a fair bit more traffic than the 'source components' one. The question is whether to buy 30G iMod + ALO cable or a MAD EAR+ tube amp? Original thread...- singular

Quandry - iMod & cable or MAD Ear?
So the head-fi upgradeitis bug has bitten well and truly and at the moment I'm weighing up a couple of options. Option 1: 30gb 5.5G iMod + ELO cable = ~$600 Option 2: Mapletree Ear + HD = ~$700 I'm in the UK so the above costs include shipping estimates. Now I would love to be able to...- singular

Quality vinyl sources?
Having recently bought a decent turntable I'm building my vinyl collection. I've been scouring the local charity shops and have picked up some gems there. However I'd like to pick up high quality recordings of some of my favourite albums, either new or mint condition. Anyone know of good online... -
Tube amp recommendations?
Been doing a bit of reading and there seem to be a number of contenders. I've got a nice little cmoy which does the job, but all the threads on here have got me interested in trying some tubes out for myself. This will be primarily for listening to jazz/classical/acoustic guitar/folk. I have...- singular

iPod LOD - confused
I recently got hold of a LOD which I intended to use with a Ibasso D3 I have on the way. As the LOD has arrived before the amp/dac and I can't resist playing around with new toys, I thought I'd plug it in to my existing amp (Neco Cmoy) purely out of interest to see what happened. My...- singular

New Ebay CMoy - UK
Just picked up this semi-portable CMoy amp from Neco Soundlabs, a UK based eBay seller. Construction quality seems really excellent, service was friendly and fast. Probably too much amp for my current SR60s, but should do well on the RS2s I have on the way! Certainly even with the SR60s they...- singular

Vinyl question - pre-amps and phono stages
So I'm toying with the idea of getting a turntable in my system. Got a few records about and it'd be nice to hear them through a new system. I guess the simplest solution is just to plug it straight into a headphone amp and take it from there. However from what I read a phono pre-amp makes quite...- singular
