I have been looking into getting a slightly longer USB cable than came with my audioengine D1, but the seemingly high-quality Chinese cable I have just plain doesn't work. Like at all. So I am looking into getting a 1m or 1.5m quality USB A to B cable so that i can move the A1 from sitting on my...

Right now, I have in my possession the Emotive mini-x a-100, which I already have an RMA number for because I was planning on sending it back.   The reason I was planning on sending it back is because of my subwoofer setup. The only place in my room that the subwoofer sounds good in is the...

Wondering if anyone knows anything about these headphones. Apparently they just started shipping.   http://www.californiaheadphones.com/

With the release of Creative's new quad core sound card, and SPL's Phonitor, i cant help but think that multiple cores would be great to have a dedicated thread in the sound card's software simply for controlling stereo crosstalk. as someone who switches between 5.2 surround sound and a pair of...

  I have one of these sitting around... thoughts anyone? definitely sounds about 100x better than my nano lol   are there any threads on this player? It cam stock with Rockbox software. Yeah, like everyone puts on their Sansa Clip+.  ...

Hey guys, in the mess of cables lying around my house, I seem to have misplaced my charger for my ALO Rx amplifier. Mine is the original one, and when I bought it, there was a paper in the box telling which chargers will work. however, I cannot find the paper either. Does anyone know the specs...

Hey guys i have two tins that came with shirts. i was saving them to put small desktop headphone amplifiers in (prolly CMOY, though tubes would fit too) but im never going to get around to building them. if anyone is interested in the tins, i will give them away at the cost of shipping.  ...

Anyone seen this?   http://eseamarket.com/index.php?s=proshop&d=product&id=195   looks like the regular consumer edition of  the DT 770s but with a mic.   why would they do this with the consumer version and not the pros? the pros are the ones that are famous for gaming.   how do...

not sure if this has been covered yet, and if it has please link me the thread.   has anyone found a place to get unloaded headphone enclosures to put your own drivers in? i would be especially interested in wood.   or, have you figured out something else that works really well as a...

I'm not sure if anyone else saw the sale, but I recently picked up these phones (Creative HQ-1900) on newegg.com for 14.99 shipped. which is a pretty steep discount from the regular 99.99.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826158067   In case there are still crazy...

i would be very much interested to hear your thoughts on the SQ and how burn-in affects the sound.   i have the RTI a1 bookshelfs x4, a center CSI a4, and a PSW sub. however, at the moment half of the channels in my receiver are blown, so i am running two RTIs off the front surrounds, and...

I am planning on recabling my ath-es7 cans, and want to make the cable detachable. what are possible plugs that would work for this?    ive looked at some computer connectors that might work, but how will the connector material affect the SQ? does anyone know of another small plug? the es7...

i want to make something to go on my desk so that i dont have to fumble around plugging in my headphones into the back of my computer every time i want to use them. i was thinking RCA input on the back, then a potentiometer with a switch on the front (for volume control so that i can leave my...

hey guys i picked up a polk audio micropro subwoofer for my home theater system. the newish one with the passive radiator on the bottom. i noticed that the woofer kind of "wobbles" or something when its pumping out bass. like instead of going evenly in and out, the top  of the woofer seems like...

can someone enlighten me as to the usefulness of bi-wiring? To me, it seems like either way you wire it, the speaker is wired in parallel, the only thing changing is where the current splits. so there should be no difference in sound, unless the jumpers are made out of cheap material. since...

hey guys. i need help choosing a good pair of headphones.     i love my es-7. i think they are almost perfect. I love the sound of blues guitar and male vocals on them. bass is pretty good but most importantly has decent punch.   i just paid for an xp-7 meier audio amp. so this is what...

i effed up my UE 5 EBs and i loved them, so i got some wire from work and im going to hardwire them. anyone know if they are series or parallel? any help appreciated.

okay, changing my question. I have the ultimate ears superfi 5 eb headphones, and they broke. the part opened up where the entire earpiece is supposed to open, but both of the wires snapped off of the female terminal inside the earpiece. i cannot find a way to get the wires back into the...

anyone know of a place where i can look to find pro audio shops? or does anyone know of a shop near ventura county/ santa barbara/los angeles area in socal? i really cant decide on a headphone unless i hear it first... theres too many mixed opinions and everyone hears differently. >< or...

impedance aside, what is the difference? any difference in SQ or anything about the sound? In car audio people swear that lower impedance means better bass, but how do these compare?

would like to see comparisons between these two amps, seeing as people with this price range probably see them as competing equals. which one has better sound definition, better soundstage which one has less hiss, less interference with other devices, a quieter "mute state" which has...

I AM NOT AN AUDIOPHILE! i just love music. and sound. and stuffs. These babies only have about ten hours on them, as i dont leave them playing when im away. i might start doing that to burn them in, cuz im curious how the sound changes. My setup: i have two setups, one which is just...

pretty short and to the point, im looking for buds for modern metal. mostly worried about being able to pump out mids and bass at ridiculous levels. want to be able to find them for ~100 bux. =) discuss.

i have senn's pc350s for gaming, and the bass and mids suck. balls. i have the ath-a700s for music and movies, and i think they sound good for the money i paid for them. im enjoying them a lot. but i listen to a lot of modern metal with REALLY heavy bass/double bass. sometimes, i want...
