How £1,000 headphones are made: A Sennheiser factory tour - Crave at CNET UK Hi everybody! Don't have much time to read the forums anymore (and none to post!) with school taking up all of time but I stumbled onto this cool photo tour of the HD 800 being manufactured and didn't see a thread on...

I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with this ipod my friend wanted me to load up for him. Its a 10gig 3g. When I try to start it up the drive spins but its kinda loud and high pitched (much more so than my 4g photo at least), after about 8 seconds of the apple logo on the screen and drive...

My grandpa has a bunch of 8mm and super 8 film from the 50's and 60's and I'm wondering how I can dub it to a digital format other than handing it over to a photo lab. For one thing, the film is in very good condition and probably doesn't need cleaning; more importantly as a matter of pride I...

Mostly I hear bay-er-dynamic, but it occurs to me that it could also be buy-er-dynamic or even bee-er-dynamic. Anyone who speaks german care to enlighten me?

edit: mods if you get a chance please move this to dedicated source I just installed a shure m97xe and it sounds wonderful, but I somehow managed to reverse the stereo. My old cart (audio tecnica A88E) was was arranged arranged like this: blue . green white red So guessed that it was...

It sounds like bunk to me, but then again I don't own a nano, maybe they really do scratch more easily. So, what do you nano owners think? Does this case have any merit? http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/pte...ple.nano.reut/ The one thing I know about class-action suits: the real winners...

Oh man, harry connick jr just blew it so bad. Branford Marsalis plays a little intro and then harry comes in, IN THE WRONG KEY. It was horrible, and I felt really embarrassed for them. Branford sorta noodled around for a while, was silent for a while, and then finally figured out the key towards...

I asked them some questions about manufaktur options, pricing, changes to the new line-up etc. Here is their response: Quote: Thank you for your E-mail and your request. Kindly excuse our late reply due to the quantity of messages which we have received during the last weeks as feedback...

Sorry if this has been covered in one of the many nano threads, but how is the quality of the wheel in comparison to full-sized ipods? It looks like it would be the same from pictures. I thought the cheap feel and poor responsiveness of the mini's wheel was one of it's major drawbacks. Has...

Zachary Vex is a guitar effect maker of some renown; I haven't used his stuff but it is well reputed. He also makes a 1 watt tube guitar amp for portability, headphone use, etc. I was pleasantly today when I saw his new 1wpc speaker amp on boingboing. Looks to be very well made with a...

I just saw these on AKGs website and could find no mention of them on head-fi. They look like k26p's with noise cancelling technology! I don't know how they sound but I reckon a lot better then quiet comforts. Going rate is $130, looks like they're marketing them to frequent flyers...

I know somebody out there already spent several thousand on their vinyl setup and wants a computer to match. Anybody else think etsy.com could have tremendous potential? How 'bout audio stuff...

Anybody else seen this hilarious/terrible movie? Or rather, 30 minute "hip-hopera." Anyway, it's gonna be on (on the west coast) MTV2 at 1:30 and a couple more times over the weekend. If you appreciate corniness it is a MUST SEE.

Looks like ecost doesn't have the recon 650 anymore. On the other hand, this is a great price on the 280. Less than what I paid... http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=463755

Or do they come without one? All the ads mention the RB300 but not the cartridge.

I'm going to be picking one of these up in the next week or so, anybody know of a better price than $81.23?

Looks like apple is coming out with 2gb and 4gb shuffles. http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/t3...neAugust.xhtml Could be just a rumor I guess. But if it's true they'll probably drop the prices, too.

Anybody ever seen one of these before? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...770648066&rd=1 It says its an adapter for a tube amp to headphones. Looks about early seventies vintage. I couldn't find it discussed in the archives. Is this thing just like a giant attenuator that probably doesn't...

could these be used with portable USB DAC's like the bithead, overture, and (new) porta corda? You may need to install a driver, not a whole lot of them support USB-host locally (but many more do via a compactflash adapter), and storage is a whole 'nother issue. Has someone tried this out or was...

Those of you who have been at this a while probably don't care but I had never seen a lot of these headphones for sale: http://www.cke.co.uk/acatalog/HEADPHONES.html I think most of them are discontinued. I don't know what's wrong with me but I really like the styling of those old beyers...

http://www.akg.com/products/powersla...nguage,EN.html There was a discussion on headwize about it being on sale. Went to go check out what it was, and surprise, now free! Anyway it is a windows media player plugin that acts as a crossfeeder for surround sound. Equalizer only sounds good on...

Alright, I know they're FOTM and and all, but I'm just diggin em way too much. Is there a moderator or something I can send this to or what? Basically I just modified the 580 alot, turned out pretty good, though. I was thinking this guy wearing ipod earbuds should be my next... edit... sent...

I'm deciding which to buy my amp from, I can't find either on resellerratings.com, so does anybody have any positive or negative experiences with either? Is there somewhere else that will have the rega brio for $500?

I'm looking into buying an integrated amp, I don't need a headphone out and the quality of the phono stage is very important; I have heard almost exclusively good things about the rega brio. The only out it has (other than speakers of course) is a tape out. Is this just a line-out? Is it a...
