Looking at getting possibly a VPI Scout for a turntable. I was essentially given around 3,000 LP's from my brother in law and want to get around to using them and want to make a smart purchase on a decent....though.....not bank busting turntable. It would have to include everything I need...

What is the best forum (i.e. the head-fi of the vinyl world) for vinyl? I'm interested in reading up as much as I can before making a purchase. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for something that is small enough to hold just the Ipod and Hornet with a mini to mini cable connecting them together. Can someone post some links to some options for me?

It seems like Sennheiser has the best system where you can easilly swap cables out on their headphones. I wonder why other manufacturers don't wise up and do their upper level headphones the same way? i.e. AKG, Grado, etc. It is just arrogance by the manufacturers or do you think they just...

Right now I'm using my Denon 2200 (soon to be upgraded) for CD/SACD use and I also have my Ipod that I occasionally hook up with 320kbps music on it when I don't want to have to switch constantly between CD's/SACD's every 45 minutes and just want to rock out uninterrupted. Unfortunetely, my only...

I think I have dropped $135 in the last 2 weeks on tubes since I got my Singlepower PPX3 SLAM! Is there an end in sight? Damn tube rolling gets addicting BUT it isn't a cheap addiction

How many people here are using these things and what do you think about them? Do they do anything negative to the Grado signature sound? Is the added comfort of them worth the price ~$139? General thoughts?

Is there a DAC that can decode DSD? If so, which ones?

I need to find a place that can beat this price on the Rega Apollo: $790 Shipping on it to me was around $27 so the total would be $817 shipped to my door through this place. I have PMed a few people that have given me some contacts for better priced dealers but all these end up falling...

This whole subject of burn in seems bewieldering to me. What physically changes on a cable, an amp or a pair of headphones during the "burn in" period? Especially on a pair of cables or a solid state amp I'm completely lost as to what could change on them. Tubes I can buy there being...

I'm currently running with a Denon 2200 now and I have been fairly happy but I have a new amp en route (Singlepower PPX3 SLAM) and I'm looking to shortly upgrade my source as well. I have a good amount of SACD's (around 30) already so I would like to get get something that takes advantage of...

I have the HD600's and I have the upgrade but going and I'm either going to play it safe and just get the HD650's which I know I will love or I might step out and try the K701's if they will do well with jazz, blues, and classic rock which makes up the majority of the stuff I listen to...

I have seen some people having issues a year after buying one but I have heard it is a good source for the money.

I know we are talking pricewise about two different beasts but I was wondering if anyone here has both and how they compare? I'm listening primarilly to jazz and blues on my headphone setup and I use the Senn HD600 for my cans.

I'm going to receive my Gilmore Lite on Monday and I was just curious what it adds to the headphone amp as compared to just using the Wall-Wart power supply that comes with it stock. Is it supposed to be louder or just better sounding or what?

I'm used to my Senn HD590's and I can listen to them for hours at a time. Is this possible with the Grados? Anyone care to comment who has both either the HD590/HD580/HD600's and some Grados so I can get an idea? I have read about the C-pads that you can get for the Grado's to help with the...

Looking at maybe pickup up a set of either the 325i's or the 225's. Where would be the cheapest place to buy these new?
