I bought these cans earlier this year and like the sound but don't love the looks—they're just too big on my head. These are in like-new condition, having never been anywhere except my office desk, and probably have only had 120-150 hours of use. I replaced the stock cable with the lovely Hart...

One omamp is an AD8397, the other is bypassed. Part of my problem is that I have pretty poor hearing, so I often just can't hear subtle differences all that well.

Thanks, I'll try that. I've been playing around with the jack this evening and I've got it working (the issue is that the ground in the jack wasn't firmly in contact with the cable plug), but I'd love to fix this for good (I'm hoping to sell the amp, I find it makes only minimal difference to...

I have a Xin SuperMini 3 that's got a loose connection somewhere: if the output cable isn't inserted just right, then I pick up static and radio signals. This started happening after I tripped over my headphone cable five years ago, and the amp has laid dormant since then until I recently...

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement audio jack for my amp?

Sorry for the delay in my response.    Qusp, you are right that it's a mechanical issue, but there doesn't seem to be a way to bend the pins enough to fully solve the issue, as the plastic ring the jack fits into is also broken, allowing the jack to move a bit.    So, does anybody know...

It does seem solidly attached, no wobble, but I'll look again once I can find a magnifier of some sort, just in case.    I'm not sure whether the radio signal was always there or not, it's been such a long time since I've even tried fixing this. It's not a usb cable, though, just 1/8" to...

Look at the socket on the left, where the computer-to-amp cable goes. Half of it has broken off, and while all the pins are there, it seems that the jack loses connection with one of those gold connectors (the one on the right, I think). I get a beautiful signal if I push the cable jack up away...

Hey all,    It's been a VERY long time since I last visited head-fi. I have a xin supermini 3 amp that I haven't used in ages since it produces a lot of noise and, unless I squeeze the input and output cables towards each other while music is playing, it seems to be picking up a talk radio...

And I just bought the Promedia 2.1s for $75 shipped on ebay a month ago... well, hopefully someone can get a comparison going with between the m10s and the promedias, and maybe it'll just be worth putting the promedias back on ebay...

I've also got the santa rosa MBP, and bootcamp works very well. I have only two issues with it, one minor and one medium: 1) The driver for the bluetooth card never wanted to install, so every time I booted into windows (I got rid of bootcamp a few days ago, I didn't really need it) I would...

I want a free recable!

Anyone know who conducted these? When they were recorded? What the orchestra's name is (if not Czech Radio Orchestra...)?

Hey, guys, could you please recommend to me some recordings of these pieces? They're particular favorites of mine, but I don't have recordings of them yet. Smetana - The Moldau Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto No. 2 Chopin - Ballade in G minor (I've got a great Ashkenazy, but I preferred...

I just got some Westone UM1s to replace my im716s, and I am very pleased with my decision. I bought them from earphonesolution.com (a head-fi sponsor), and used the promotion code JULY4 to get 15% off. They come with comply foamy tips, and are supremely comfortable, extremely easy to drive, and...

anybody have an answer?

I'm also unclear about what information I need to give Dr. Xin. What do I send to him? Do I email him first (I've never received a reply from any emails sent to him)? Three months... I guess I could give him my college address, then.

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while but haven't posted in months. Anyway, I haven't used my Xin Supermini-III in ages (been using the av710's normal headphone out) since some time in the fall I tripped over my headphone cable and jerked the amp a bit . The 1/8" line in jack to the amp...

Like a Prayer - Madonna

I love Enigma so much. My favorite songs are (off the top of my head) Callas Went Away, Mea Culpa, Return to Innocence, and Gravity of Love, though there are so many more that I adore (sorry for the rhyme). Any Enigma fans should also check out Deep Forest's albums Deep Forest and Boheme, as...

I use iTunes, so I have a smart playlist called "Classical" which has all my music with "Classical" in the genre tag. Then I have the movement name in the Title, conductor or main performer in the Artist tag, the album name in Album, the piece/work name in Grouping, the composer name in Composer...

Do they use drm? What file format is it? Can't wait for my .edu address... edit: oh, and how can they afford this? where's the money come from?

In 9th grade I listened primarily to gershwin, sinatra, broadway musicals, etc. I then moved to the beatles and more soft-rock kind of stuff, then to classic rock in general. My favorite band has remained Pink Floyd since then. The biggest changes have come recently. I have always...

i'll be taking quite a few literature, history, cultural, etc. classes, but there are also required science courses (i have no idea what i want to major in, as i'm interested in a large number of diverse subjects). Anyway, for the non-math/science courses (and i agree that paper notebooks are...

I'm very seriously considering switching to mac when I get a laptop for college this summer, but I want to make sure that I'll have an easy time with taking notes in class. How does the onenote 2007 program on windows compare to the notebook layout in word 2004 (i'd probably get office 2008 if i...
