I posted a thread in the member's lounge about stocking headphones here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/580044/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-a-headphone-store I'm just wondering specifically what headphones (brands and models) would you like to see us carry? We are in hopes of trying to find ways...

I currently have a Hi-Fi home theater store in Richmond, BC and I'm looking to start carrying headphones other associated gear. Apart from the obvious low markup and ability to demo headphones, what other suggestions do you guys have?  I would love to know what your thoughts and opinions...

Just wanted to share a project a was working on: For my Psychology class in school, I was required to come up with a experiment to perform on a group of people in order to present results to the class, our group decided to test the effects perceived value plays on hearing.    (Note: For...

  After many months and months of delicate saving, I have finally mustered together roughly enough funds to afford a used pair of HD800s.  I have demo'd most of the high end cans, and although I cannot comment on the exact details of each one, I can roughly give my brief thoughts on...

Anyone have any idea where I can get a pair of Ultimate Ears plug/pin/prong like this so I can make my own cables?  

In a bit of a tricky situation here, I have a Jaben ES8 cable, which looks like this:       Not exactly a thick gauge, as you can see.   Anyways, the 3.5mm termination on it fell off and I need to replace it....   I'm looking at something like this:      (I mean just...

I'm currently struggling to understand the concept of high end Digital Components, for example, outputting TOSLINK from the motherboard of your computer VS outputting TOSLINK from a dedicated high end sound card. If my understanding of digital signals is correct, then there should be no...

  Gentlemen, today I will demonstrate the art of removing the AG(Anti-Glare) layer on your monitor. This will make your monitor incredibly crisp and bright.   Step 1) Disassemble down to the screen itself, remove even the metal bezel around screen.       ...

I recently acquired a 2m Cardas Golden Power Cable and I'm wondering if I should be hooking it up to my Parasound DAC 1000 or my Matrix-M Stage? I understand that the cable probably is a no brainer to be hooking up to gear like this, but I have no other use for it and don't intend to sell it...

I just bought a used pair of monster turbines with a completely destroyed 3.5mm jack.     I have since removed the plug and now I'm looking for a replacement.   Any suggestions? The cable is pretty thin so I will need a small 3.5mm connector.

Well gentlemen, I have found that my Marantz integrated is no longer providing enough juice to support my new cans. And I'm not looking for my first Headphone Amp   It will be used to drive my Fostex T50RPs, a set of ortho cans. Source will be from a Pioneer CD player and a Parasound DAC...

^ As the title says. I recently invested in a new pair of cans that were said to compete with $1000 ones, yet, while I do find a jump in SQ, I just can't see these as amazing. I would like to demo some more expensive units to compare to. Does anyone know a place in Vancouver that will let you...

Like the thread title says, I currently own a Marantz Model 1250 Console Stereo Amplifier, and I'm about to make my first real investment in headphones, I'm considering either the HD600s, HD650s or DT880s.   Would there be a problem driving it with this amp via headphone input jack or would...

I recently got a Parasound D/AC - 1000 and I'm scratching my head as to how to hook it up. Should I go from PC > Parasound DAC > Onix A-120MKII Amp or PC > Soundcard > Parasound DAC > Onix A-120MKII Amp? I will be useing Optical hookup as my X-Fi Titanium does not give me coax

After plowing through google and head-fi for a few days looking for possible mods, all I was able to find was this: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/448567/ath-ad700-ad900-mods/15 Does anyone know of any other mods that can be performed on the AD700? I don't really have any one...
