+1 for Wicked Digital.    I bought my integrated amp and floors standing speakers from them. They didn't have the color I wanted for the speakers and managed to get a pair in for me the very next day.   Good experience all round.

Quote: I won't be making it up myself. I get most of my cables from a local Australian dealer:   http://www.uglycable.com.au/ugly-ultra-premium-digital-coax-single-rca-cable.html   They are priced well and sound great to my ears. I haven't had the chance to try any of the more...

Quote: I've got some spare heavy gauge coax cables so I'll do an A/B and see if there's any audible difference.    I guess using the coax input will bypass any possibility of getting the "drop outs" others have reported.

Just ordered a DI with the PSU and upgraded clock. Should be here in a few days if the shipping is as quick as my NFB-3.1   I run coax from my motherboard out and was initially going to run coax to the DI rather than USB.    Now I'm wondering is there any advantage to running USB to the...

"Interview at Honolulu" - Lone from the Lemurian LP  

I took my Alessandro MS-1s and Fiio E7 to my folks place for our Christmas getaway. I keep looking for them and find that my Dad has snuck off with them to use with his Macbook. He said the clarity was "amazing". Wish I brought my RS-1s now ;)   Best non-audiophile reaction was from my...

Peter Van Hoesen - Variable Parts EP     He's giving it away in lossless right now. Love the use of the Ba Gua for the EP covers!

Yeah they had the flattest frequency response in that price range. It's funny, everything the salesman tried to push on me just sounded like consumer mini-system fare. Bloated bass, recessed mids, and a spiked top end. I said "those Yamaha's have the most uninteresting and flat sound out of...

This room is such a mess at the moment. I'm in between recording spaces so recording equipment has been jammed in including 15 acoustic panels (out of frame)!   Hopefully I can post an after shot when we find a new recording space to move to. Keyboards, mics, stands, mbox, profire, cables...

"Iron Heart" - Netsky - Self titled Album  

I'm guessing late 70s based on the gear in this pic:     But yes how does it sound!?   Quote:

I had a similar chain to yours: Mbox Mini (External Sound Card) >> Woo WA6 >> DT880 (600ohm)   I was constantly wondering whether a better source would be a significant improvement and had my eye on a DacMagic. Curiosity got the best of me and I grabbed one on eBay.   As soon as it...

I think the RE0s pair really well with the E7 and its first EQ setting (or bass setting). The RE0 are relatively light weight in the bottom end but the E7 EQ gives just enough warmth to put them in the sweet spot for me.   The E7 is such a nice little amp/dac for the price, and it's leagues...

Here I was looking at all my Headphones wondering where on earth to put them and the answer was sitting right next to me!   IKEA Stolmen Headphone Rack ;)     Not very attractive I know but shipping on those sexy Woo Audio stands has pushed them to a 2011 purchase.

First portable rig. Well one with an amp anyway. LOD is from Krispy Kables here in Sydney ;)  

"Gold Rush" - Ben Klock, from the "One" Album  

These were my first IEMs and I ended up buying a second pair for my wife they impressed me so much. I can't believe they are so cheap!   The clarity, especially in the top end, is superb and paired with my Fiio E7's subtle bass boost the bottom end is tight, and substantial enough for my...

Have you tried the reset button? I got mine a few days ago and it wouldn't power on at all while connected to USB or otherwise. The screen would light up and flicker for half a second and then shutdown. Hitting the reset button while unit was off solved the problem. Love the little thing now.

What a great idea! Count me in, I'll ship anywhere :)

< That's not the first time I've read about slow or non-existent support from them. What was your issue and how did you fix it?

I picked up a pair of MS1s last week as a nice little 'throw around' pair of cans I could take with me when traveling. Just on one week later I am supremely addicted to these and I honestly can't explain why! I've got a Woo WA6 driving them and I find myself going back to these again and...

Thought I should stop lurking and post something since my new WA6 just arrived early this week. First post hurrah!   So previously my headphone experience consisted of an un-amped pair of AKG ATH-AD700, I thought these were fantastic (and still do... relatively speaking), but then my...
