I am considering an upgrade to my LCD-3 fazor cable.  I was using a Toxic Silver Widow but switched to a WyWires Red as I found I liked the organic feel of copper as well as the increase in dynamics.  I am curious about some of the TOTL cables out there but there seems to be no comparisons...

I recently purchased a WyWires Red headphone cable to compare to the Toxic Silver Widow on my LCD3.  The WyWires is an excellent cable that I found to be a significant step up from the Silver Widow (another fine cable!). My system consists of a Bryston BDP1 / Lampizator L4G4 / Eddie Current...

What did you replace it with?  In what ways did your replacement sound better?

I have an Oyen external HDD and a wireless bridge that are being powered by cheap and probably noisy switching ps wall warts.  Can someone point me toward a diy 5vdc power supply design that I could build (I am a real diy newbie so I would need pretty good instructions)? 

For those of you who hear differences between USB cables:  are the differences between cables still apparent when feeding into a USB/SPDIF converter?  I am wondering if it makes sense to pay attention to the USB cable when feeding into such an adapter.

I am wondering if there is a clear upgrade from the EE Minimax dac.  I am listening to LCD2-s through a beta 22.  With tube rolling, cables, etc.  I have tamed the upper mids of the minimax to acceptable levels.  I am very sensitive to the frequency range.  I am wondering if it makes sense to...

I would like to assemble an PC based music server.  I started with the recipe posted on the Genesis audio website thinking that would be a good foundation.  The suggested parts, however, are a bit dated and I am looking for advice on updating a few of them. Motherboard - Intel DG43GT - this...

I am considering the purchase of an EE Minimax Dac to interface with my Darkvoice DV337 amp.  Both the Minimax and the DV337 have preamps.  Are there any potential problems with using this DAC/pre with the 337?  How should the volume on the DAC be adjusted vs. the DV337?  I am assuming I will...

I would love to hear from owners/auditioners of the EE Minimax Sabre Dac. Would you consider it's tonal balance to be tipped to the bright side/ the warm side or just right? I am in the market for a new dac and this is a finalist (with the Monarchy M24 and Electrocompaniet ECD-1).  I am very...

Sorry.  I meant to post this in the sale/ trade forum and don't know how to move it.

My current rig includes: Music Hall Maverick SACD Darkvoice 337 Beyer T1 I would like to improve my source and the more research I do the more confused I am becoming.  The problem with my current setup is a certain amount of hardness/glare in the upper mids / lower trebles.  I am...

what else would you recommend?  I purchased Fear of a Blank Planet and like it but not nearly as much as Deadwing.  What should I buy (including but not limited to Porcupine Tree).

I really like the sound of my rig: Music Hall Maverick CDP DarkVoice DV332 Beyerdynamic DT990/600 It sounds great but it can sound better, right?  I was thinking of upgrading my amp to a CSP2 , MAD Ear+ or DNA Sonnett.  My question is would this be an actual upgrade? What I like...

I hope this is the appropriate place to post this question. Has anyone found particularly good pre-holiday pricing on cd's online or B&M?

Does anyone have or know where to obtain a schematic for a DarkVoice 332 amp. I want to attempt some mods and would love to have schematic. Thanks.

My CDP has a line output level control. Is there a rule of thumb to determine the best range of volume control to use on the amplifier? For example, should I aim for 3/4 amp volume and reduce my line output to allow me to get there?

Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of an IMOD with a good LOD playing lossless files versus a CDP/DVP such as the DVD9390ci, NS9100es, Music Hall 25.2, Maverick, Rega Planet 2000? I own an IMOD/VCAP rockboxed with FLAC files. Do I gain anything by having a dedicated CDP? I would kind...

I am an old hifi guy who left loudspeaker audio year ago because my obsessive/compulsive personality combined with the audio hobby became too much of a drain on my finances. I am dipping a toe into the headphone waters to see if I can put together a decent rig and have some fun while not...

I have been scrounging around for NOS 6Zh1P-EV or sylvania gold brand gb408a's with little success. Recent threads have alluded to Sir Yen who seems to have left ebay. Where should I look? Thanks

Now that there are a few of these out there............ Has anyone found an amp that really seems to 'fit' these headphones?
