I've started investing in some stock with moderate success while head-fi was down. During that time I was wondering how the cheaper dollar would affect the 'head-fi economy' because technically speaking, a used headphone, amp or source overseas in europe or asia could actually accumulate value...

I plugged in my recently acquired Zune while my iPod was still plugged in and it appears that the xbox can't recognize two DAPs at once. Is this normal?

My second iPod maxed out in capacity and I really didn't want to get another ipod this time around. There are really few choices out there once you bar out ipods. I guess a Zune was a no-brainer. I actually purchased a Zune with a 80gb harddrive mod and I'm loving it! I'm particularly impressed...

My ipod ran out of space from all the lossless files, so I decided I'll just listen to the CDs. I listen to my music alot while studying so I want something portable with a good lineout. I have a hornet and a pair of E500s hooked up to my ipod, and I plan to retain those for this CD player as...

I was in the library studying for my international political economy quiz and I somehow got myself to eavesdropping in a pretty interesting topic people were discussing nearby. They were talking about how global warming could increase productivity in northern countries like Russia, UK...

There is a band called [re:jazz] that I am really interested in, but their albums don't seem to reach stateside. They make slightly modernized jazz music. http://www.re-jazz.de/ Go to IMAGES Anyway, to get their CDs I need to import them directly from Germany which costs more than I...

I just got my E500s and they are already exceeding my expectation right out of the box. The isolation and soundstage is amazing for an IEM. How long did u guys take it for it to burn-in and how did u guys do it?

Intro As a business major, I've been following the DAP industry for quite some time now and during the course of this year, I've been getting a feeling the DAP as a whole is in some sort of decline. It definitely isn't having the kind of buzz it had last year. And I came across this article...

Well I'm going back home during winter and I'm bring my xbox 360 with me. I obviously can't bring my hdtv, so I'm gonna have to hook my 360 up with an lcd monitor from my desktop pc. Thing is, the vga connection is not a problem, but I having trouble with the RCA from the 360's cable. My crappy...

Ok, so it should be fairly simple. Turn off the laptop, connect a standard vga cable and audio cable from laptop to tv, boot laptop. Everything seems to work normally but for some reason I can't see video on the tv screen. I can hear the sound and the screen looks perfectly normal, but with a...

I seem to have a rather hissy set up but I can't figure out where it is coming from. I know for a fact that it is definitely not from my headphone and amp. It must be from the computer, ipod, foobar or dac. I'm guessing the dac might not be the source. If so, then is it my computer that is...

I have a friend who advocates quantity (of CDs and iPod capacity) as opposed to my approach for sound quality. He was asking me if I would consider that new glass CD they just started selling in Japan. I replied that I'd rather use the money to fund a decent SACD player but we both couldn't...

Being both a business major and an active headfier, I often think of the economics involved in this forum. I've been active in this forum for quite a while now, but I realise that the total sum of the money I spent is considerably less than I have initially thought. Clearly, there are...

Well I was just wondering since there is no sign of existence of such cable. There are audiophile grade rca, xlr, coaxial and other kinds of cables. Is there such thing as a audiophile usb cable for use between laptop and dac?

I'm not in the market for a new DAP but this looks really interesting. It is similar to the video ipod that has been rumored for a while but aimed at the ipod nano territory. Has a 2.5" touchscreen and plays movies as well. Even has the experimental satellite TV thing they have in Korea called...

I tried that loophole where you set up an alternate account located in the uk and it worked! I downloaded and tried the RBS demo. Probably one of the extreme few to play it in my area. This was the second game to blow me out of my chair on xbox 360 in terms of graphics. The first was FNR3...

As stated in the title, which of the four components account most to sound? I read somewhere that it is 95% headphone and you can see that my rig is composed based on such theory, but I am starting to believe that it may not be true.

I find it extremely difficult to resist the urge to buy another amp. I've been keeping an eye on the amp FS section for months but I don't think I've seen it this enticing. Options range from PPX Slams, HR-2, RS-1, Microstack, its just goes on and on! That toaster style PPX looks really...

I have a broken UE super.fi 5 pro with a cracked case that I want to send back to UE for replacement. I sent them a few emails over the last two months, but I never got any replies... I heard UE has one of the best AS in the business, so this is a little frustrating. How can I get their...

I'm looking for an amp that can synergise well with GS-1000s. I don't want any predictions or amps that mate well with other Grados. Thats why I am setting up a new thread instead of using the search function. The GS-1000 seems like an alpha female. She just won't take any amp!! There must be...

I'm a Korean raised in Italy currently studying here in US. I can't help but notice that politics is a subject that seems to be avoided here in university compared to the other two places I lived in. I was alarmed of north korea's nuclear test yesterday so I went to school eager to talk about it...

For some reason I get the impression that iPods are no longer the opject of absolute hip anymore. When I was a freshman in university 2 years ago, people were absolutely raving about them getting iPods and atleast since the ipod mini came out, I remember it recieving campus wide attention...

I'm trying to figure out what is the cheapest way to bypass my laptop's soundcard and get an optical out from one of the USB ports? I'm thinkinf og purchasing one of those 205.2 number crunchers, but I don't know how to get optical out from my pc. Any ideas?
