Thanks for the reply, StanleyB. It seems it was only this particular record that the left seemed louder than the right. I've tried other records, and the balance seems normal. I guess the record was just mixed badly. On loud midrange sounds it distorts also. On other records, the music...

What do you have to do in order to reduce (or eliminate) the distortion that occurs on sibilance like 's's, and high hats/cymbals? Is it just a dirty record or do I need to fix something on my table? Also it seems the left channel is louder than the right, what causes that?

Wouldn't a 192kbs 48khz MP3 sound worse than a 192kbs 44.1khz MP3? Since there's 3900 more samples, but it's using the same amount of space (192 kilobits/second), isn't it essentially worse in quality?

When would using a splitter be bad or cause damage (if it's possible)?

Has anyone seen/used the new drivers, version 5.00b, Feb. 22 2006? Check the new "Audio Deck": First thing I noticed was that using the Windows volume control (on the system tray) finally increases both left & right (in 2-channel hi-sample rate)! You'll get a kick out of the...

I'm still not getting sound. Module snd-1724 is loaded, I used this asound.state. Got the "bad control.7" error & removed it...then had to remove controls 48,49,and 50. I've done alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore to make sure it's reading in the right file; Here is my asound.state: does...

I could live without either. Car: I didn't get my license 'til I was 18 (I'm 21) & the bus got me everywhere I needed to be. A car would be more convenient, but that's all it is...a convenience, not a necessity (in my case since I'm not a traveler and am not involved in a profession that...

USPS doesn't have or doesn't know where it is. Now what?

Scratch all that ^ My amp was shipped when he said it would. Problem is with USPS/my apartment.

Wendy's. Can't beat the 99 cent menu. I can't afford more than 5 dollars a day on food since I started coming to head-fi.

So I gave it another week....4 weeks total. Sent 'im an e-mail & all I get back is an auto-response: Quote: (Today) The go-vibe V4 has sold out. There are no plans to offer a replacement. I have two one-of-a-kind custom headphone amps left: 1) 1 only custom compact Home PIMETA. 2)...

I recently started looking only for a quieter CPU fan but then I read some product descriptions and thought that I should just upgrade my mobo. I don't need much. ALL I'm looking for is a motherboard. Not upgrading any memory, drives, etc...just CPU & mobo. Minimum requirements are: -...

Thanks for the response. I just hit 2 weeks yesterday. I'll give it another week before I say anything though.

thing is there's 4 different hostnames...there could be a link somewhere pointing to a non "head-fi.org" host.

make sure you're on head-fi.org/forums http://headfi.org/forums/ http://headfi.com/forums/ http://head-fi.com/forums/ always gives that error

How long did it take for you to get your go-vibe amp (after sending payment)? Just wondering. I know he's in Canada and understand that can delay things, but how long have you guys had to wait (and where are you located)?

I had it working at one point, trying to use the AV710 with high-sample rate analog mode. Then I installed a SBLive so that I could connect my musical keyboard to do some sequencing (in Windows XP, dual boot with Redhat 9) with Propellerheads Reason. But it seemed the SBLive only worked if I...
