Alright, I've been happy with my Modi/Magni stack for quite a while. But I wanted to check in to see if there was a next step up from that. Specifically, is there a brighter tube amp that the HE-400 works well with? No real price range, just curious, but if I were to get one it would have to be...

Hey everyone, been a while! I've been spending the last few years slogging my way through college (now graduate school) and wanted to see what I've been missing in the Audio world. My setup has been the same for 2 years now: Schiit Modi/Magni >> HE-400.   So in all of your minds, what are the...

Alright, my bank account is drained, and I have started my first major DIY project (aside from stereo restorations):   I'm building an AMB M^3 with a sigma11 PSU. I'll keep this thread updated as a build log/blog of the project, and also to hopefully ask any of the questions I may end up...

Just got my warped tour tickets, who's going? Who are you excited to see? Etc.

Yes Rant inbound. I replaced my HD in my ipod about 2 months ago, and recently dropped it, breaking the screen. I just went through the ordeal of replacing the screen, and now it works again! BUT: Now I have the HD click of death. Why THE HECK DO THEY PUT SOMETHING AS UNSTABLE AS A HD IN A...

Alright, I've been posting in various amp threads off and on for months now, as I try to find a budget amp for my AKG sextetts, which I love. The problem is, I have a Marantz 2245 receiver that powers them beautifully, but I cannot listen to them in college, where I am for 2/3rds of the year...

Calling all Head-fi writers! We've got all the other creative talents, with threads for photography and artwork, but do we have any writers on the forum? You don't need to be a professional, (I know I'm not, I'm a physics major, but I still enjoy writing), just someone who enjoys writing. Feel...

Alright, so in my dorm, I use my headphones for music, but my AV30's for the TV/Xbox (And Dub-step). The problem is that the "entertainment center" is my roommates desk, which is permenently affixed in the corner, with a glass window on one side, a plaster wall on the other, a shelf <24"...

With the SR60-Mod thread closed and pending possible deletion (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/508459/sr60-mod/15), I think it is time for the community as a whole to step up and start archiving the information within so it is not lost forever.   I've started an overview page on the wiki...

This is just because I want to know if this is a problem with the album itself or a problem with my iTunes. When I ripped Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed to my laptop, and then put it on my iPod classic, the song "Land of Confusion" is literally a solid 33%-50% louder than the rest of the album...

Hi, since there seem to be a few of you hanging around the board, I figured this would be a good place to ask. What all can I expect going into engineering? I was originally going to do a 3+2 program for applied physics and electrical engineering, but because I am just deciding this now, most of...

Any suggestions for a low cost DIY DAC? I looked at the Grub DAC but it lacks something I would want: a headphone amp. I would want the ability to switch between an amped headphone circuit and an unamped RCA output. would I be best off just wiring a Grub DAC to a CMoy in a single enclosure, with...

Alright, I've got a pair of AV30 m-audio monitors in my dorm, and for some reason, after moving my desk, they make a 3 second buzz on startup, and a pop on shutdown, regardless of the position of the volume knob and of whether or not they are connected to an input. I have tried turning off all...

Alright, so I have a pair of modded SR60's which I love to death, but I am looking for a pair of cheap portable headphones (think same price as my SR60). They would need to leak minimally, and isolate decently well. I'd like to be able to use these in study areas without people on the other side...

Alright, I appologize for asking what is undoubtobly the most annoying question to ever grace a tech forum, but here it is: "What is a decent sounding technology Y for under price X"   Specifically, I am looking for a set of full-size headphones for between $50 and $90, preferably somewhere...
