Bandwidth: Food for thought.
OC-768 (40Gbps) downloads 1 Petabyte in around 16 hours give or take. There are talks of a 100Gbps OC about. Thought I would share. The fastest residential ISP I know of is 50Mbps Verizon FiOS which is almost the same as OC-1. FiOS also costs about 166 times less.- fenixdown110

To balance, or not to balance? That is the question!
Here's the next stage of my upgraditis. Is the difference switching from unbalanced to balanced that great? I was thinking either getting a separate amp to bypass the amp in my Carat Emerald or upgrading to the balanced Matrix mini-i. I would eventually get a Musiland 01/2 or M2Tech Hiface to up...- fenixdown110

Senn 580/600/650 urethane leather pads?
I'm just wondering if these would work? I guess I would have to separate the existing pad from the plastic ring and then glue the new urethane leather pad to it. It's almost a direct size match. The Senn 650's I have measure out to 110x85 mm. These replacements are 110x90 mm. 110mm-90mm...- fenixdown110

Need help deciding on amp.
I'm looking to buy a budget but decent DAC amp. My options have been narrowed down to 3 choices. The Aune Hifidiy.net MKII, 09 version Zero DAC amp, and the Headroom Total Bithead. I'm leaning more toward the Aune or Zero though. Please advise.- fenixdown110
