Hi All, I have had my HP100s for a while and at some point got the original cable cut and am looking for a replacement. Do you know of any source for such a cable?

Hi Guys,   I have ordered a pair of Kef R300 to act as front speakers in my HT setup. My question is, whether it will be a huge issue if they are placed near a back wall, 20cm max, with bass reflex ports covered completely. I will be using a Rel R-218 sub with them at all times.    Thanks...

Hi Guys,   I am looking to change my DAC>Amp interconnect to something that will fit the space better. Basically, I currently have RCA>RCA interconnects of good quality and the cables are extremely hard and do not really bend nicely to fit the space behind my screen. Also, the connectors...

Hi,   I have been having problems with PMs being sent when I pressed Alt+S. I use Polish from time to time and Alt+S is used to enter a special character in our keyboard layout.   I know there is Ctrl+Enter so maybe we could remove Alt+S?   Thanks, Szadzik

Hi,   I want to mark all forums as read and when the popup appears I choose all, but only the curent forum gets marked as read.   Is it a problem with my PC or the site?

Hi All,   Upgraditis has struck ;)   I am looking to purchase a desktop amp for my two lower impedance headphones: JVC HP-DX1000 and MDR-SA5000.   So far, after a bit of research I have found the SPL Auditor. It does only have balanced input, and I only have unbalanced DAC output...

I would like to hear opinions about and comparison of these two combos.    I am especially interested in:   Clarity Brightness Bass Comfort Overal value ofr money (WA2+T1 = $2300 while Lyr+HE-500 = $1150)

Hi All,   I am trying to upgrade storage of my current X1060 (32GB).   My choice is between 32GB J3 with a 64GB uSDXC and A867.   I currently have to keep two libraries - one for the Sony in mp3 and one for my home rig in flac - a bit annoying.    Do you think I will be happy...

Hi Guys,   I recently hanged my PC from an AIO to a regular desktop and I bought a monitor with a built-in camer - the Asus VK278Q. I found out that the monitor does not have a microphone though, and need one to use for Skype etc.   I went to my local Argos (I am in the UK) and bought a...

Hi All,   I noticed that there is a pair of Sony's MDR-SA5000s for sale in EU for $300. Do you think that is a good price and it is worth buying these if I want to try them out?

Hi All,   I am almost ready to upgrade my C2D All0in-One PC. I have had it for over 2 years and it has been great, but it is getting a bit slow with DDRII RAM and C2D cPU, weak GPU - especially after I upgraded my laptop with an SSD in a dual setup with HDD.    I will be ordering a...

Hi All,   I have been using my Burson HA-160D as a DAC for some time now. I ue it with USB frmo  my PC and into WA2, listening to T1s.   I have been thinking though, that maybe I should sell the Burson as I do not use it as an amp anymore and buy something cheaper to use as a DAC. The...

Hi All,   I got myself an SGT 10.1 some time ago and I put some music onto it to check how it works as a music player. To be honest I was disappointed. It does not seem that it is a good source - not compared to my Sony X Series.    At home I have a DACPort, but I will not be there until...

Hello to all fellow Head-Fiers,     I need your advice for buying an IEM.    WhatI have at the moment:    Senn MX980 earbuds - I love them. Neutral and detailed sound. Beyer T1 - love them. Beyer DT1350 - I am not sure about these. Will probably sell them soon because of...

All,   I have recently started looking at expanding my system and changing it from a computer-based one, into something more versatile and not only headphone-oriented.   What I have at the moment is some headphones and a Burson HA-160D amp with DAC.   What I am looking for is a...

Hi Team,   I just had an idea and thought I would ask.    Is any other manufacturer apart from iBasso using the same type of sockets that are used in iBasso's products? Could the HF TopKit be used in other amps? I think I saw Practical Devices products with the SOIC adapters and was...

Hi All,   Since my iBasso D6 is giving me problems and I will probably return it for a refund (not decided yet though) I am thinking about geting a cheap USB DAC that would be small and better than my onboard audio (not too difficult to achieve). What I need is a device that I can atach to...

  The king is dead. My X1060's battery has gone south. I left it with 75% battery power 2 days ago and last night when I checked it it was almost dead. I am going to check again and see if anything can be done, but basically I am starting to look for a new DAP.   I really like my X1060 and...

Team,   I have been researching choices of headphone amplifiers and DACs to build a desktop rig.   I currently have an All-in-One desktop PC that I will use as the source - coaxial out or USB to be used to connect a DAC and amp.   I have been reading about Burson Audio HA-160 and it...

Hi Everyone,     I have been here for some time and enjoyed the headphones I had and sold and those I still have. I have recently started building a bit higher quality rig though and need your advice here.    Current setup: I will soon have a full portable rig with Senn MX980, AT...

All,   I finally decided to take interest in IEMs. I started reading and seeing all the good opinions about various IEMs I thought it is time to try them.   I have read a few topics with some reviews and thought this through and decided that AT CK10 might what I am looking for.  ...

Hi Everyeone,   I am i the process of buying a pair of ESW10s after I had my ESW9s and decided to upgrade.    I pretty much liked the ESW9s apart from the fact that they were a bit slowish for Rock and Metal and I wanted a bit more details.   Do you think that looking at the portable...

Hi Everyone,   I was surfing in search of some info about the ESW10s and found the UK shop selling them. I thought these were not available any more as the inital 1000 pieces were distributed a long time ago.   http://www.avland.co.uk/aasp/audiotechnica/0920/athesw10/athesw10.asp  ...

All,   I have been researching the subject of buying an amp for a very long time.    I still have ATH-ESW9s and Sennheiser MX980s playing out of a Sony X-1060 as my portable setup, will probably be gettnig HD25-1(II) to see if I like them more than the ESW9s some time in the future too...

Head-Fiers,   I have had my ESW9s for 5 months now and had really liked them; before I got my Sennheiser MX980 earbuds. The earbuds provide clear and analytical/ natural/ not coloured sound with much less warmth than the ATs.    I really love the ATs for their portability, good enough...
