Hey guys,   I'm looking around for earphones that would be good for electronica, house, or trance. Looking to spend 300-400. From a quick search the TFTA 1XB's seem to be a pretty good choice in terms of performance to price, but I'm not too sure what other gear is nice. I'll be running it...

Thanks for your opinion Kawai, I'll definately look more into the 4.5's and 6.5's. I am also more interested in a stereo setup, but I would like for the receiver to be able to support 5.1 for future upgrades.   @ Uncle Erik: Floorstanding speakers are out of the question. As a university...

The reviews for the Outlaw sound very promising, but the speakers are way too big. I need something I can move with, so specifically bookshelf speakers. The Tekton speakers seem to be tossed around a lot here, so I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on them?   -Darkraver

Hey all,   I bought an AKG k701 about a year back, and I have been amazingly satisfied by them, but I also really miss the impact and feel of a speaker setup. I was wondering if you guys could suggest to me a good speaker + receiver combo? I'm not sure if it's possible, but I've been...

Quote:   Thanks! Unfortunately there's a buzzing sound whenever I plug it into my laptop, so source will have to be from my sansa clip+ until I build an Alien DAC.   -Dark  

thanks, paint job was done by my sis, kinda gave her free reign over what to do.   As for the tubes, all i know is that they were 12au7's made by Baldwin, found them off of kijiji. No microphonics! Beyond that I have no idea what they are, haha   -Dark

Just finished my first DIY amplifier, wanted to show it off here :)     I never realized how small 4" x 4" really was, until I started to solder everything together. Also, I really should think about buying another colour for wire, staring into a blue mess doesn't help in debugging...

. . double post my bad

thanks for the help! guess I have a little project to do now. Also, can you recommend some reading material for this project? I'd like to be able to eventually design my own amplifier -Dark

I guess the question to ask would be which on is more dependable, less noisy (signal wise), and in the end sound better? -Dark

Thanks, I found the post. Is the difference in price between the 12AU7 and than the 12SR7 justified? If it's not a big price difference I wouldn't mind building the "better" of the two -Dark

Hey all, Finally got my K701's in, but don't have an amp yet. I was set on building the Starving Student Hybrid Millet Amp (due to reading that K701's benefit from tubes), but it seems like it's kind of... died at this point. I was wondering if you guys could suggest a good DIY amp that would...

nice stands all! just wondering, how did you guys manage to measure the curvature of your headbands? -Dark

+1 graphgear 1000 has put me through the first two years of uni... durable as hell, feels good to write with and doesn't break lead! I'm using the 0.3mm and the only complaint i have is sometimes i cut through the paper.... oh and I can't erase away valleys in the paper

Just finished watching Higurashi.... you really don't know what's going on until the second season though, but the first season is just....brutal 0.o

Hmm... thanks for the input guys, I'll probably go for the audeo's. Other than their main site and earphonesolutions.com, where else can I get them for a low price new? -Darkraver

no one can help me? -Dark

Hi, first/second post here. I've been lurking around these forums for a while and have decided to jump into the head-fi world, haha. Anyways, like the title says I'm looking for a set of IEM's for casual listening and on the daily commute. They'll have to isolate decently well, to block out most...
