I want to replace some of the wire inside my tube headphone amp. I am looking at some low cost options. How about this wire: http://www.markertek.com/Cables/Bulk-Wire-Cable/Bulk-Audio-Cable/West-Penn-Wire-Corp/291-BLACK.xhtml?291 It is rated to 300V. Is that suitable for internal amplifier...

Whats the consensus on stereo stepped attenuators purchased off ebay? Like http://www.ebay.com/itm/DACT-Type-21-Stepped-Attenuator-Potentiometer-100K-2A3-/190550564515?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5db2dea3 OR...

So this guy is an ***** on and off the field..and has zero taste in headphones!

I got an email from paypal saying my Paypal ID was logged in from Europe and that my account may have been hijacked. It asks me to login to my account - but the link it provides is suspicious - it's http://203.79.215.201/.~/paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr-ID/ I think this looks like a scam, can...

I saw some postings at Audio Asylum about the Panasonic F85 5 disc DVD changer and how it compared favorably against the Tosh 3960 for redbook playback. I got the F65 model, which is very similar except for lack of 5.1 outputs and a 2nd set of stereo outputs. But I think the innards are the...

We surpassed 15,000 members...we are growing quite large! Here's to another 15000

Happy 27th birthday to one of the best traders on head-fi!

I just received my Marantz 2215B for use with my HD580's...initial impressions are WOW! What an awesome sound, really smooth and liquid sounding, a perfect complement to my headphones. I think it totally trashes my old maxed out meta42, and gives amps like the Perreaux and MG HeadOTL a serious...

I just stumbled across this headphone amp here. Did a search here and couldn't find any info. Only $270, anyone want to buy it and give it a try?

My MG Head OTL has developed a problem - vocals have been shifted significantly to the right when I listen. I think the rest of the soundstage seems ok, just vocals are coming from the right side of the stage, not the center. This problem occurs using both the OTL and headphone jacks. I tried...

Just curious, is there anyone who has gone back to solid state amps, after trying out tubes? Especially with the HD580/600/650.

Happy 25th birthday to a fellow Raleigh head-fier!

$400. Retail is $700. Great seller too.Link

I'm wondering who here on this board currently owns the most headphone amps? Please, only amps that you OWN (i.e. paid for), not review units or amps borrowed from someone.

Audio Advisor has the HD580's for $145 and free shipping. Use coupon code WNSP50 at checkout to get the discount. Enjoy

I've noticed quite a few head-fi members are in the Triangle NC area...is there interest in getting together for a meet?

For MG Head owners out there: I am curious to know which mode you prefer listening to: headphone(transform), or OTL mode? I've found that OTL mode has a warmer, richer sound, at the expense of some detail. But this mode makes the bass sound quite boomy and I really can't stand to listen to it...

Well I did

Link at CNN Looks like this is the end for this silly contraption. Now all the dumb yuppies who were suckered into buying this POS have to send it back. But fear not there will be a hip new 'toy' for these peeps soon enough..mark my words. I think the Segway will go down as one of the most...

I came to this forum a little over a year ago looking for $20 closed headphones for my computer.....and now I've dumped well over $1000 on this 'hobby' So what was the reason you originally came to headfi?

If you could have only one pair of cans to bring with you on a desert island, which one would it be? For me it would be Sennheiser HD580, the one and only choice

Oh man I can't wait
