Bowers & Wilkins P5 Impressions
I'll be posting here in the next few days my impressions of the Bowers & Wilkins P5s, just bought a pair. I currently own a pair of AKG K702s, which I'm fairly happy with. Granted, they're driven by an Audio-GD C-2. However, as I'm working in the office and out and about, I needed a pair of...- Zafsk

Speaker Pedestals
I'm re-arranging my room to make my audio set-up make a bit more sense, with a listening seat and speakers in their correct positions. I have a problem, well, more-so of a dilemma, but the speakers (pair of Acoustic Research 1969 AR-2x's) have been sitting on the ground for the last few months...- Zafsk

New Sota Sapphire (Vacuum Version)
Hey guys, I will be posting pictures soon. That said, I am the proud new owner of a Sota Sapphire (vacuum version) turntable. I'm psyched, it's gorgeous. I bought it for $400 (what a deal, I spent weeks scouring for one), spent $100 on a Rega Bias 2 to pair with it. I just ordered a belt for it...- Zafsk

Blue Jeans Cable MSA-1 Audio Cable Impressions
I've always been a little skeptical about the "buy better cables, it improves the sound" argument but jeez, I'm a believer now. I bought 5ft of the MSA-1 stereo audio cable from Blue Jeans Cable on the recommendation from a friend. First off, just out of the box, I noticed heavier connectors...- Zafsk

I've been wanting to DIY a pair of bookshelf speakers for awhile now and actually get some decent quality out of them. I've been doing a lot of reading on circuit diagrams...- Zafsk

Turntable Questions
Hi, I'm looking to buy a turntable (looking at the Technics SL-1200 Mk2, as that seems to be the common starting point) and I had a question about the preamp. I just recently bought an amp/headphone combo that I intend to use the TT with, but I just wanted to make sure it'd work. I'm...- Zafsk

What do you keep your volume setting at?
On your amp, where do you keep your volume at. I just got my Audio GD C-2, and with gain, I keep mine at like a 7 (it's not notched, so I'm guessing). It's plenty loud, but a friend of mine told me that if I'm above 50%, my ears should bleed. I'm not getting the feeling that its that loud, also...- Zafsk

Do I need a DAC?
I'm going to be purchasing in the next few days the AKG K702s, an Audio-GD C2-C (or C2, I have yet to have the difference explained to me though) and possibly a DAC. However, I'm not quite sure if I need one. I believe I have a DAC integrated with my soundcard, and I was curious if a dedicated...- Zafsk

Audio GD C2-C v. C2
I'm about to purchase (as in today or tomorrow) the Audio GD C2-C and in my trying how to figure out how to buy from Audio-GD I noticed that Pacific Valve & Electric have the C2 that I can order from the US, but not the C2-C. So, I'm curious, what's the difference between the C2-C and the C2...- Zafsk

Purchasing new headphone/amp combo
Hey guys, I'm going to be purchasing a pair of AKG K702s, and an amp to go along side it. I'm thinking that I will likely be getting the Audio GD C2-C, but if you guys have other suggestions, I would definitely appreciate it. I'm mostly curious if I'm making the right amplifier decision...- Zafsk

K702's and an Amp
I know, I know. Anyway, thinking about picking up the K702's tonight, but I'm not sure what I want to do as far as amps go. I'm getting the K702's because of the prospect of the longevity it holds. Looking forward to the clean and non-colored sound that these pair of cans have as a...- Zafsk

Problems with my FiiO E5
Hi, This'll be my first post here. I just received my FiiO E5 and it worked perfectly when I started using it, and then I decided to play with the volume on the amp itself. I turned it down a bit, that worked, I turned it back up and I didn't notice any change. I shrugged it off. However...- Zafsk
