    BSG Technologies QOL Signal Completion Stage

    I read an interesting initial review of this item by Robert Harley and I was curious to know if anyone has listened to it, whether in a speaker setup or headphone.   http://www.bsgt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/tas_feb2012_review.pdf

    Question for the audiophile who is also a surgeon.

    I was reading over a correspondence course pertaining to the OR and sterile technique and it caused a question to come to mind.  When you are performing surgery do you have music playing?  If so, what is your preferred type of music in that situation and what system do you listen from?  Does the...

    Explosive-fi.

    Occasionally, I have the opportunity to work with explosives.  Nothing fancy or complicated.  Just some blocks of C4 and det cord with a variety of initiators (shock tube, times fuse, etc.).  I thoroughly enjoy the everything about it.  Does anyone else love explosives?     This is 27.4...

    How do your feelings regarding music differ from that of your spouse/friend/sibling/etc. etc.?

    I really enjoy music as I'm sure everyone in the forum does.  I differ from my wife considerably.  While she enjoys music to some extent, she doesn't really focus on very many different artists and even fewer different genres.  She doesn't feel the drive to understand how music is made.  She can...

    Asus Eee PC 1000HE soundcard.

    Does anyone know about this netbook's sound component?  I have searched the internet and I still have no idea what kind of DAC chip or sound parts are in it.  I honestly don't expect it to be an awesome setup but I was curious.

    Questions for the tube amp aficionados...

    I have noticed that many people love tube amplifiers and other tube related equipment and I had some questions.  What are the things you look at first when it comes to choosing a tube amplifier?  What is it you prefer about tube amplifiers over other types?  I think they are beautiful to look at...

    Recommend some good high end audio books for an amateur.

    I wasn't getting much response in the other forum so I thought I would ask here.  I would like to one day plan out a pretty good high end system but in the mean time while I don't have the money to allocate, do any of you have any recommended books on the subject that will educate me about the...

    Recommend a good book to educate about high fidelity sound equipment.

    I, like probably many people in this forum, am very interested in good sound equipment but I don't own anything other than some IEM's towards the relative low end.  I have no money to budget towards anything related to the reproduction of sound right now but I plan on that changing sometime...

    Any New Orleans area Head-Fi members?

    I'm in the suburbs of of the Big Easy and I was just wondering if, and how many, other members on this forum are in the same area.  If so, then you have probably noticed as I have, that there just isn't any business in the area that has a selection of headphone equipment to demo or even look at...

    Probably a newb question but what are Shure Olives?

    I called Shure and they had no idea what I was talking about but I hear that they fit well on Etymotic HF3 but I'm not sure what size my ear takes. Is there some place that I can get a variety pack? I sure as hell didn't see one on Shure's website or any Olives at all. Please someone enlighten...

    How much difference does a portable amp make?

    I am new to high end audio and I primarily use an Apple iPhone and an old 80gb iPod. I will be purchasing some Etymotic HF3's soon but I have never heard the difference between an amped headphone and just one that is plugged in to the music device. I notice amps and the associated accessories...

    Love the HF3 by Etymotic, but what about the same sound with a bit more bass? Suggestions?

    I am not a basshead by any means as I realized upon listening to the Hippo VB.  I currently use a Klipsch Image S4 with my iPhone 4 and its enjoyable and I like the function of the 3 button strip on it.  Well I borrowed an Etymotic HF3 and fell in love with the clarity that it produced as well...
