I remember some time back (2011ish) there was a head-fi meet in Daytona/Ormand beach this time of the year. There was a bunch of people who attended, and there was "the best" donuts served at the meet. Does anyone remember this, and is it still happening?

OBO-Or Best Offer   Often times when I am looking to buy something, anything, then I will come across posts along the lines of "Selling XX $50 OBO".     So is there really a purpose of the seller to use the term "OBO"?     If there is something I want, and the seller has "OBO" I will...

Hello fellow DIY'ers. I have tried to talk to various companies about getting my Beyerdynamic headphones re-cabled, and not a single one has replied, and the local shops only repair instruments. I would do it myself, but after severely shocking myself on my last soldering I am not up for it.  ...

Hello,   Looking to pair my DT880's with a DAC for around $100. I am thinking of getting a tube amp to go with it. What would be my best option, the Schiit Modi?   Amps: Bottlehead Crack Schiit Vahalla

Hello,   Does anyone know of a shop that would repair my DT770's (250ohm) for a decent price and have them back within a week or two?   All that is wrong is my dog chewed through the wiring in between the right and left speakers.   Beyerdynamic offers a service, but is backed up until new...

So, Head-fi. How would you like it if you bought some Dt880's a month ago, and have them ruined by your dog? This is what I was greeted with today, how lovely, right? The headphones were on my dresser. He knocked them off and completely chewed through a cord. I think I can repair it, I'm not...

Hello head-fi,   I have had my Audio-Technica M50's and they have been used off and on for about 2 years now-since December 2010. Even though I am not a fan of the headphones anytime I tried to sell them I got a fraudulent buyer. Enough about the story behind them.   I have been using...

Hello, I have been wondering this for awhile now, where does everyone buy their vinyls from? Simpily put where you buy them from. I personally go to a local store called Wuxtry in Athens, but sometimes they don't even have the LPs I want. So I resort to online vendors such as Amazon and...

Hello,   I am looking to upgrade my setup. At the moment I am using a 2006 Mac Mini lined out to a Denon AVR-1600 ->> 2 JVC tall standing speakers + Velodyne VRP 12 inch rear ported series subwoofer. That being said the sound is pretty good just with that, but I am looking to push it to the...

I am getting into buying more and more records. Problem is: I don't have a record player   Now in this case I need to know what would be something I can start with for maybe around $100 and upgrade the stylus?   I was looking at a $75 Audio Technica set...

Hello,   I am looking to purchase my first DAC and I have $100 for AMAZON ONLY to spend on it (Can be adjusted about $10), so $110. What are the best options in that range? Also I have some plug and play speakers for my computer. Can you plug the aux cord from those into the DAC as well.  ...

Hello Head-fi, Before today I was into the whole "full sized" headphones. I currently own the DT880s, M50's, and MS1000's. But the problem I have with headphones is that for them to sound "good" you have to drop some cash on amping, DAC's, and cables. I have done research and found out that...

Hello, As of recently my 250GB internal hard drive inside of my Mac Mini is not doing the trick, and it looks like I need more space. I am looking for a GOOD external hard drive that I could buy for lets say $200 at the most. I count on you to help me, I recently was looking at the Glyph hard...

If you do not know who Bilavideo is then you have not modded your Grado/Alessandro, or have not modified it to the extent that he does. Today I received in the mail some distancer's and cups! This is practically a DIY BilaMod project that converts MS1's into MS1000's Bill's way.   The...

I think that now I am going into the earphone world. Currently all I have are meelectronic's m6's, they are lacking in some areas and that is why I am going to upgrade to the next level up. My budget is $100 and no more, I am limiting myself to not go over that no matter whatever the reason. The...

I am looking currently to buy a amp or Dac for my dt880 headphones. The question is that I don't know if it is regular to run a amp without a dac, particually the schiit Asgard. Can you do that? Also my budget is only $250, no option to buy the udac and amp, I also don't want a combo like the...

Ok to start out I am looking at 1964 Customs and they look ideal for the price being customs. Here's the problem, I am only 16 right now and I am thinking that my ears will still be developing. Will my ears still be changing at this age? If so I am thinking that customs wouldn't be for me...

Hello headfi,   I have seen threads of custom cans and what not (recently the purple grados). I have a pair of unused V150s laying around that I think I'm going to customize. What colors should I do, do not suggest anything like the barney colored ones here. I would like a darker color. Once...
