I have used and owned numerous headsets, but primary have used my HD650's for 11 years straight. That is a very long time and I can't even begin to counts the hours I have burned in them. Now I was always in a living situation where having loud speakers or high end bookshelf speakers were not...

I have for a while now been curious as to acquire a collection of music involving the Chinese instrument known as the "Guqin"   Here is an example from youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XGsJ-0xsiE   I find the sound that this instrument produces to be absolutely hypnotic. It allows...

I was hoping that someone here might be able to give me suggestions on where in China or Hong Kong one can purchase DAC/AMP's at a retail store since I have a friend who is over there on a business trip right now.    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the past 7 years, I have been using a gilmorelight amp paired with my HD650's. I have not been keeping up with the progression of headphone amp's so I am not up to date with the many new companies/models that have sprung since I have been gone. I am aware of audio GD and a few other new...

Well it seems that the pot on my 5 year old GLite is beginning to make horrible scratching sounds when ever I turn the volume up or down. I was wondering if anyone here might know of a good replacement Pot that I can buy which will work well in this unit?

Fella's. my HD650 pads are in such bad shape after using them daily for 7 years. They are as flat as a pancake and the Headbad literally has no padding anymore. My cans are very uncomfortable.   Problem I find myself is locating a place that sells the replacement parts here in canada. The only...

I recommend to a good friend of mine the Asus STX to go along with his newly purchased Beyer Dynamic DT 770 250 Pro's. He is very pleased with the sound quality and performance of the card. However it seems he is unfortunately suffering from a very well known and common problem with the STX mic...

I was planning on purchsing the ASUS STX since it seems it's the most popular Card for both Music and Games. Recently I stublmed across the HT OMEGA which looked rather impressive. One thing that concerns me about the STX is that it has been said it can only do DOLBY Headphone through it's...

Howdy! Fellow Head-fiers. I need your highly regarded Input and Wisdom I have a Very important Question to ask in regards to the Current availible Sounds Cards in the PC market space. Since EAX is fazed out and most Games are now relying on the OPENAL standard, does it really matter it terms...

I am having some trouble finding this type of adaptor which i am planning to use so that I can get direct output from my sound card which uses 2 1/4 mono's direct to my headphone. Anyone know where i can purchase of these adaptors?

As posted in an older thread of mine my Roomate needs a sound card for mixing is music, he is an amateur. I was going to suggest he get a ESI juli, but since we live in CANADA they are hard to come buy. SO we have narrowed down the choice to either the M-audio 2496 or the Delta 192($30...

A Friend of mine needs to purchase a sound-card to replace his onboard sound. He needs a soundcard that is capable of doing light average mixing, he we be using simple DJ programs and fruity loops, he is not in any way a serious, dedicated musician, so that is why I was thinking for him to get a...

Basically I need dual 1/4 to stereo RCA for my Gilmore light to my 1212m I am using hd650's. Both copper and Silver are available for the same price, so my question is as follows: Which one is better for my set-up. I am assuming that both of these options are offered due to sonic...

Ok i have decided to scrap getting a new pair of 5.1 speakers for the PC due to cheap manufature quality of them. It seems that since PC 5.1 speakers have to fit a buget market they compromised to much on quality, and i don't have time and money to waste 300 on a crappy 5.1 setup. Anyhow I...

Does anyone know where a fellow CanUCK might be able to purchase online or actual store in Canada. I live in the Toronto Area.

guys I have something to ask I was looking at this cd player and it says it's Output Power is" RMS; 20mW (10mW = 10 mW) (0.2% T.H.D). I'm confused, can someonw make sense of this, dies it output 10mw or 20 mw. PS. most of tadays players only put out 5mw

I have aquestion, with such a beautful CD that moby made, why does his bass distort soo bad. Obviously he intended this to be, is there any way I can counter effect this on my phones????

Are these any good, do they deliver good bass. These phones work well with minidisc and don't need an amp, but are they decent portable phones???? They retail for 79.99 canadian = 49.99 usa

Well guys now that I have discovered my minidisc needs a portable headphone amp, I was looking at these two AIRHEAD TOTAL AIRHEAD other than cost, what is the differnece between these two, which one would i be better off with, to power my Grado 80's or whatever????
