    Happy 25th Birthday to OK Computer.

    On May 21st 1997 Radiohead released their third studio album Ok Computer and began their pivot from the early guitar driven Pablo Honey and The Bends into their experimental electronic sounds that would reach full fruition with the 2000 release of Kid A. OK Computer bridged those styles...

    It's a Sad Day

    Packing up my HD650s to ship them out for sale in the morning. I can't help but feel like I'm breaking up with a good friend.  It's weird, I'm constantly buying, selling, and upgrading my electronics and gadgets but I only ever feel an emotional attachment to speakers and headphones. Every time...

    From IE7 to??

    I recently bought a pair of IE7s but when they showed up they were fakes. I'm kind of gun shy on trying for another pair with the high amount of counterfeit senns out there. Once I get my money back I'll have about $175 to spend was wondering what kind of comparable units fall into my price...

    DAC or Stick with soundcard?

    Would their be any noticeable benefits of buying an inexpensive SPDIF dac over using the analog out from my Auzentech Forte? I've got the upgrade itch and am thinking of grabbing either one of the eBay AK4396 DACs or a Zero and doing some modding.  I'm running HD650s amped through a Sheer Audio...

    Sheer Audio HA-006+?

    Is still a great amp for the money? I was originally looking at some ~$300 tube amps (LD MKIII/IV, Vahalla) for my HD650s but I find myself drifting to thoughts of HE-500s and most entry class tube amps seem to power either the HD650s well or the HE-500s well but not both. It seems that for...

    HD650: Crack, Little Dot MKIII, or.....

    Looking to get into tubes to compliment my HD650s. Currently have an original master amp and it's ok but a tube amp seems really appealing. I have a budget of around $300-$350. I could go with Crack (no speedball) or a MKIII. I'm leaning towards the Crack but the apparent lag time in shipping...

    Original Master Amp?

    Can anyone tell me how the "Original Master" amp would stack up in the < $150 price point today?  All the info I can find on it is from 2007 and before.  I'm looking to power HD650s and D2000s with it.  Other options I'm looking at are the Fiio E9, the Indeed G3, and the Little Dot Mk II. ...

    (Cheap) Amp for D2000?

    I'm looking for a cheap amp for my Denon AH-D2000. Right now it's running from the integrated amp in my X-Fi Forte and sounds good and the volume is fine but I find highs are a little harsh and figured I could warm them up with a tube amp. I do have a budget, I promised my wife no more gadgetry...

    Soundcard Dilema

    I'm having a hard time choosing between a Auzentech Forte or a Xonar STX. My current setup is HD555s with a Xonar DX, which I'm relatively pleased with. I've ordered a set of D2000s and figure I should upgrade my sound card to match. From what I gather, the D2000s are somewhat easy to drive, so...
