So, my trusty Beyer DT250-80's that I've used for years are finally starting to go :( and I'm looking for replacements to use in my very non-pro home studio. I do sound design for videogames & when I have time, make IDMish music. I do my critical work on monitors, but being a home studio, lots...

Hey guys, Got a little project I want to try and hack together by the weekend. Need a KSC75-like clip-on and they need to be purchasable this week in Canada. I've never seen a pair of KSC75's for sale in radioshack/circuitcity, so any other suggestions of where to get some cheap Clip-ons in...

Hey all, Looking to pick up a set of decent but highly affordable set of speakers for an existing 5.1 amp. I've raked through the forums here and think I might have settled on some. I have a usable (if albeit kinda weak-sauced) sub already, so I primarily just need to replace the other...

As the title suggests, looking for something to replace the sharp HP-MD33S in-earphones. I like the sound of the sharps for a highly portable solution, plus, they're fairly sturdy for this type of earphone. The Sharp's are the around the back of the neck/one side longer than the other variety...

My father's beloved 5-Disc changer finally died (Teac I believe). The prized feature was the ability to shuffle tracks from all 5 CDs, with little to no effort. He's looking to replace his old player but hasn't found quite what he's looking for. How does the Sony SCDCE595 weigh in and does it...

Just a heads up We were slipping by Dumoulin to pick up a busted SLR lens, and I spotted these on the way out. I haven't been paying attention to the scene lately so I didn't exactly recognize them at the time. Price check was $198, Canadian of course. There's a slim chance they might have...

I love CoverFlow, but I really dislike itunes. Are there any open source alternatives? I've prettied up foobar, but it just doesn't stack up to, well, the flow of CoverFlow. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys, Any idea where I can find the screw-on style 3.5mm to 6.3mm plugs? They seem to be a common termination on studio/DJ cans, but I can't seem to find a OEM supplier of these handy little 2 piece gadgets. Thanks,

Hey all, These are on the radar as my next logical upgrade. I have not heard them, but the impressions and reviews here seem to chime well with what I have in mind for my next can. If I were to sum up what I'm looking for in one word, it would be "easy". The AD2000's are widely reported as...

As the title implies - what players support dynamic/on the fly playlists? Does Rockbox have this feature? Thanks!

Here's a weird question for everyone, Where can I get an Oscilloscope to um, watch my music on? I'm not talking software either - I'm looking for a standalone unit, and preferably a pretty good looking one - oh, and let's not forget cheap. Admittedly, I know very little about scopes - and...

I've got a lovely old SONY TA-45 integrated amp (late 70's early 80's I believe) and it has this magical "loudness" button. Is this a compressor circuit? Is a preset EQ adjustment? I also have a modern AV amp with a "midnight" setting which I have a feeling is similar, but digital, and applied...

Hello all, Time to borrow some insight for the collective here - I'm looking for something closed, comfy and relatively neutral that I can wear for extended periods. I don't mix/produce as much as I used to (shame really) but I do still find myself working with sound often. Keeping the...

I bought the silver 20gb yesterday - I wanted the black, but its not coming to canada (atleast not on the 20gb version). The silver is good, I don't plan on seeing the player much - that's what decent remotes are for! I bought it at a Maison Sony outside of Montreal - after haggling 50$ off...

Hey all, I need your help. I tried out a SONY NW-A1000 in store here in Montreal, and I really liked the sound, plus the line out and option for a decent inline remote have me pretty much sold. Don't bother telling me about how bad sonicstage is, I'm fully aware, and have been using it for...

As the title implies. I was curious as to how these gadgets are holding up. Also if it was used until it croaked, how long did it last? thanks,

These arrived yesterday, 5 business days from the other end of the earth - audiocubes, colour me impressed. I've been wearing my ATH-PRO700's for my portable getup lately, and it works like a charm - they sound GREAT, but alas, with the snow/rain + the want to wear my trapper hat, I needed...

hello all, I'm considering the purchase of a portable amp and need some sage head-fi advice, but of course not without the inclusion of some crtieria (we'll get to that soon). Perhaps my reasons for wanting to go for a portable should be illustrated - I want to drive my cans with more...

I love my MiniDisc Player, I really truly do. I felt that up until very recently, featurewise, it couldn't be beat. But I find myself finally succumbing to the lure of greater storage capacity - and interestingly, it's not in terms of portability but transfer convenience. Transferring an MD's...

Hey there, Can someone who owns a pair of k271s' or k240s' (if they're the same size) measure the diameter of the can for me? Specifically the diameter of the housing where the earpad is holding on? Thanks much

Hey guys, All the discussion recently about field recording has got me hooked again. I've been borrowing SONY MS907's from school - and find the results adequate. I need a mic of my own, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. I have a few stipulations though; And lastly, my...

Hey all, odd question but my needs are portable related. In any case, can anyone recommend mp3 -> CDA burning software that best removes gaps between tracks? Assuming of course the source MP3's are as good as possible. And I know flac or wav to CDA would solve this, but that isn't an...

Curious what owners of these consider their strengths are. I am considering getting a pair for my father at some point in the future. His listening preferences are almost exclusively classical. Mids, highs and soundstage would likely be paramount, low-end isn't a major draw for him - but as long...

Thought I would share a moment of respectful, if not slightly creepy head-fi fervour with you lot: Just remarking on the candle light play on my underwhelming gear and thought it was worthy of a photo. I realize some viewers may have darker screen setups than I, in which case I apologize...

Hey fellow dudes and dudettes, M-Audio finally announced this new CF based digital recorder/player. At $500 USD it's far from cheap, but oh, the options: check it out: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...rack-main.html Its a sampler's wet dream, i wonder how the output from this device...
