I need to get some new comply tips, preferably the short model. Anyone know of a good website that has them for a decent price? Inexpensive shipping options would be a plus as they weigh nothing. Thanks. -Steve

Can you identify this cd player just by looking at the inside? Here's the pic: The only hint I will give is that it is not one of the cd players in my sig. I'm curious to hear what people think. I'll post some close-ups later if you need help identifying this model. -Steve

I'm going to be ordering a Samsung HDTV (LNS4051D) sometime this week and I'm going to need an antenna to get over-the-air HD channels. I'm totally clueless which type or brand is good as far as antennae. I just want to get the local channels in HD to watch the occassional prime time shows and...

Rant on...My wife and I decided to order a pizza yesterday from one of the better known pizza shops here in Buffalo. They specialize in more or less "gourmet" pizzas so they thier pizzas cost a bit more, but the quality is good so it is fair. I went ahead and ordered what I thought was an $18...

Just like the title says, where can I find a good one. I want to find a well made one as I have had one break in half inside the headphone jack. It was not fun to remove. Thanks. -Steve

Artpark (www.artpark.net) is hosting the band America tomorrow for their free Tuesday in the Park series. I've always liked their music, but have never heard them live. I'm hoping for a nice dry day as we will most likely be sitting on the lawn listening. Anyone else been to an America concert...

I'm looking to purchase some 6Dj8/7308 tubes and need some direction. What are some of the better online tube dealers out there? Are there any ebay sellers worth trying? I'm particularly interested in someone that can provide me with tested and matched pairs/lots of tubes. I'm particularly...

My wife and I plan on purchasing a new television in the nest month or so. This is to replace the 15 year old 25" Magnavox we currently have in our living room. We are looking at 42-50" televisions as that is what our new television stand can hold and we sit only about 9' from the TV so I don't...

I just placed my order with Jorge at HeadRoom for a Desktop amp. I got it with the Home module, Max DAC, stepped attenuator and the Desktop Power Supply. It will take them 2-4 weeks to build it before it will be shipped. My wallet is hurting, but I can't wait to get it My Morgan Jones amp will...

I'm curious about this combination as I have a Micro amp with the desktop module. I am considering upgrading to a desktop amp in a few months and might buy the Desktip Power Supply first to ease the burden of buying the amp+power supply all at once. I can afford the DPS right now, but will it...

I used to have a pair of Magnepan MMG's a few years back when I was in grad school. At the time, I loved them but had to sell due to having a small apt. I've always drooled over the larger Maggies and was blown away when I heard the 1.6's set up in someone's home. Just for kicks, I searched on...

I have a couple of headphone amps (see my signature below) and I just realized that I always reach my highest listening volume at around 9-10 o'clock on all of them. Two amps (GS-1 and Micro amp) have adjustable gain and I keep them at low, and the other two amps (Morgan Jones and M^3) do not...

My local and only hi-fi shop carries a Tributaries mini>RCA cable that I haven't heard anyone talk about on this website. Here is the link: http://www.tributariescable.com/catalog_view.php?id=217. They want $30 for it and I wanted to know if it was a decent cable. If no one has heard of it I...

I bought a secondhand MisterX built M^3 a few weeks back. Included with the amp were AD8065 and AD843 opamps. I've never worked with opamps before so I am asking here what to do before I break something. The opamps are socketed, so do I just gently rock them back and forth while pulling up to...

I have yet to own an iPod (4g 60gb iPod Photo is on it's way) so this question may be answered very quickly by reading the literature that comes with the iPod. Is there a built in sleep timer/sleep mode on the iPod? If not, is there a way to dowload one? I'm asking as I plan on using the iPod to...

A local media (cd, dvd, books, etc.) store was have a going out of business sale last week and they had an unopened package of Shure E3's for $108. I picked them up because I have a new 60gb iPod photo arriving any day. I mainly bought the E3's due to their price, but I'm wondering if they are a...

I have a MJ Earmax clone (optimized) that uses 3-6DJ8 tubes. Right now I have two matched sets of tubes. One set is Amperex made in the USA, and the other is Amperex Bugle Boy made in Holland. I really like the sound of this amp, especially the midrange where female vocals really shine. The...

I have a tube amp, Optimized Earmax Pro (Morgan Jones), that takes 3 6DJ8 tubes. I have a couple of questions as this is my first tube amp. First is about tube rolling. Can someon walk me through the process of tube rolling? How long do you wait before taking the tubes out and installing the...

I'm new to hi-fi headphones and amps and need some direction. I just purchased the HF-1's (did not receive them yet) and plan on ordering an amp to use at home (not portable). My source will be a Rega Planet 2000 cd player. I'm hoping to find an amp that will bring out the best of the HF-1's. At...
