    need an inexpensive RCA interconnect

    I need something to connect a CIAudio DAC to a head amp...maybe just a foot if it's flexible enough. While it needs to be cheap it should also be worthy of a new $1000 setup, though I could upgrade it later.

    Looking for a good inexpensive optical cable...

    ...and adapter, if needed, to connect an M-Audio Transit to a CIAudio DAC (1/8" optical to regular optical). Doesn't have to be very long...in fact a foot would probably do it. A cheap 15-20 footer would be great, but I'm guessing a decent one would cost much more than I'm willing to spend, and...

    SR225 vs. HD600

    I'm considering better hardware than before...CI DAC and amp...which of these headphones is my best bet? I want something good for commercial pop/rock/electronica and DVDs. I know the Grados are supposed to have really deep bass and strong highs...sounds like my kinda thing, but I'm wondering if...

    soundcard - dac - amp - headphones: is this a worthwhile setup?

    Since I'm going to be replacing my desktop with a powerbook next year, I've decided not to base my setup around a PCI card. With this, for example, I can just swap the chaintech with a cheap usb/firewire device. Anyway, is this a good setup? It's slightly expensive for me...means no iPod for a...

    Yet Another Setup Possibility :)

    AV-710 > VDA1 > VHP1 > HD580/HD600/SR225 Parents are giving me $200 to replace my audio card which died the other day, which I guess I could use towards the AV-710/VDA1 since together they act like a sound card, though I'd have to buy a recording interface later. I could pass on the iPod mini...

    Need an Audio Setup for Notebook

    I have ~700 to spend on everything: headphones, amplifier, DAC, audio interface, etc...whatever's needed. I'm still considering the Presonus Firebox...eventually I'd like to record with my Novation KS-4 and get some monitors or a stereo of some sort, but I thought I should consider a more hi-fi...

    I'm on the verge of ordering one of these. Is there a better way to do this or is this good?

    Firewire Audiophile Drive Grados?

    Can the headphone out drive Grados decent enough? (I need this for recording now that my Delta died...since I'm getting a notebook in a year thought external is the way to go).

    Any Reason NOT to Get Delta Firewire Audiophile

    It has everything I need...I'm hoping it can power MS-2s alright. It seems if I need more I can connect a DAC and an amp later on. I was considering other options, but it has to be ~200, be firewire (my computer only has USB 1 and in a year I'm getting a notebook), have MIDI, audio ins, etc...

    Need External Audio Interface (for Mac)

    Budget is ~$300 though I'd prefer to spend $200-250 (but I don't want to eliminate any options so don't worry too much about this). I need at least one quality input (to do some amateur recording) and of course an output for headphones. Extra features are great (i.e. digital out for a stereo...

    B&O A8s - Looking for Cheapest Authorized US Retailer

    Blasphemy! Traitor! *lol* It's true, I'm buying them...mostly because of their design and partially because of their undeserved reputation amongst consumers. I'm mean, have you seen these lately? SEXY! Actually there is some logic behind this. I need something discrete because I'm very...

    Grados...how much do they improve with an amp?

    I know the Grados don't require amplification, but how much does an amplifier improve the sound? I was going to plop down $200 for 225s and another $2-300 on an amplifier. But now I'm thinking about skipping the amp for now and using the extra dough to step up a notch to MS-2s and get some A8s...

    I've decided to go with Grados. How do these compare? 225s + Gilmore Lite RS-2 (no amp) MS-2/new gold 325 + cheap amp

    looking for small flash player < ~100

    Itchin' to buy an iPod mini...I'm forcing myself to wait until it gets updated (which should happen pretty soon, figuring it's been more than a year since it was released). Anyway, I'm looking for a cheap flash player to keep me occupied in the meantime...and to use later when I run/bike. I was...

    Etys...worth a try?

    Should I try the Etys or do they sound more or less the same as the Shures? I thought I'd just "get by" with these Apple earbuds, but they're worse than I expected. lol, you guys weren't joking

    Amp to drive AKG 501?

    Reading the reviews, the 501s sound like they might be exactly what I'm looking for. I care much more about vocal and treble fullness, soundstage, etc. than bass, which seems to be the 501's strengths. I'm really looking for that airy quality that makes music shine. But because I listen to pop...

    Best Closed Cans

    Can't find my thread...anyway... What are the best (non-portable) closed cans, besides the A900 and CD3000 (or are those tough to beat)? Is the A900 inferior to the CD3000 or just different? What amps do these work well with?

    $500 for headphones, amp (if needed), and cables

    Any suggestions? Canal-phones are out as my left ear is still recovering from the trauma it suffered earlier.

    URGENT - CANALPHONE USERS HELP!

    There's a triflange e5 stuck in my left ear - no kidding. When I try to pull it out it hurts like craaazy. Is there any danger of harming my ear if I just yank it out? I don't know how this happened. It's so stuck that I'm worried I'll disconnect the triflange from the headphone and not have a...
