The plastic nozzle on my ER-4P broke when I was trying to put on a foam tip (similar to the picture below). I found replacement housing on AliExpress. Does anyone here have experience replacing their broken Ety housing or know of someone or a place who does? I have not yet found an easy way of...

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a DAC, budget is $2500-ish max. At office, I think that my weakest link right now is my source so I'm looking to upgrade that to one that provides balanced input along the entire link. Also, it would be nice to be able to switch between still using...

Eck. Can't make meets until after 10/1.

I'm in a market for new receiver and speakers that I intend to build around a new Sony BRAVIA KDL55HX820. My budget is probably around 2-3k total. I also intend to hook up a Wii, PS3, Sony XA-777ES, and ~2002 Headroom Max Senn HD600/Ety-ER4S. I intend to use it probably 50/50 music/HT. Any...

Hijacked!

Ah, that explains it! I'm missing the pole. No wonder I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

I've got a really lame question. My center currently sits on top of a 21" CRT, so it's like a foot above my head. How do you use the adjust thing in the back so that the center would point down?

I've read as many reviews on the A4 as I could. From what I can gather, the A2 was significantly better than the A1 in terms of sound quality. Given that many reviews say that A4 is better than A2 and nearly EMU in quality, I'm thus leaning more towards A4. The reviews also throw in the caveat...

Hi, I'm definitely interested. Where in the Bay Area are you? How much are you asking for the Klipsch? Please PM me!

From my research, it seems that A4 is pretty good in terms of music playback. 3DSS concluded that it beat Revo 7.1 (A4>Revo 7.1>A2ZS). But then again, I use my XA-777ES for serious music listening . I guess I have this problem of getting the "near best" stuff as you can see from my gear. At...

EAX standars is not really relevant since Creative released EAX4 support drivers for all the Audigy family of cards. I'm really just looking at sound quality. The breakout box is nice, but not an absolute necessity. My other options are 1) do nothing 2) Audigy 2 ZS Gamers for $80 after rebate.

Hi all, I currently have an Athlon XP 1700+, 512MB PC2100 RAM, SB Audigy Platinum setup. I'm thinking about upgrading to the SB Audigy 4 since I can get it for $210 with rebates. I mainly use the PC for games (very little FPS, typically older EAX titles), DVDs, and occassional MP3s. I...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I did get her some cheapie speakers last year but they were unpowered and alas you can't hear anything out of them. I wasn't so much thinking so much about myself but it sure is true that speakers aren't exactly romantic. I guess I'll go with the cheapie...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a gift for my girlfriend and am thinking about some speakers for her computers. I'm looking at a budget of <=$200. So far, it seems like Swans M200 2.0 is the unit to get and I'll probably throw in the Chaintech AV-710 to give proper quality budget input. Is...

Actually, I have the stepped attenuator version. Ah, decisions decisions. Either way, I'll probably hold off for a bit. Thanks for your input all. Gee, I was actually thinking hard about upgrading my HD600 to HD650 and now this??? My wallet will be hating me...

Has anyone done this? Any comments on whether it's worthwhile? For $300 to upgrade my Max, I'm going to hold off for a long while. I would probably jump on it if it were $100, but $300?!?! Anyway...

Does anyone here have any experience with drive/player cleaning systems out there that cleans the laser head? I had a CD ROM & burner die on me within the last year (can't recognize CDs). I can't help but wonder whether they're truly dead or the laser pickups simply got dirty. I'm also...

Yup. Are you now offering "un-official" tech support for Headroom Todd?

Try Stereophile.com. Under the archives section, they have some of Headroom's amps reviewed. Oh yeah, if you follow Headroom site's link on what's new, you'll find a bunch of independent professional reviews.

Uh, is it so hard to re-wire and try it out?

"nuclear launch detected"!

... on bubsdaddy's outdoor grill if he has one.

It sounds like a good plan, go for it!

I actually tried out both cables but preferred the more analytical sound of the Cardas. The general consensus on the boards is that they're equally good but with different sounds so it is entirely a matter of preference in terms of which you should get. I would suggest you try both for the cost...

Doh! I didn't finish my previous reply. Anyway, the general consensus on the boards here is that HD580+cables>HD600. So, I would get the cables and upgrade to the 600s later if you want to, since the cables work in both cans.
