Gmail has been wierd today, I can send out email(tested it) but I can't receive any. I confirmed that the people sent the emails I was supposed to receive and I sent a couple test emails right now from other accounts and still nothing in any of the folders (spam, trash, all mail, inbox). It...

Here is the situation: the neighborhood right behind ours has gardening/landscaping done once a week(not individual houses, the common areas). It is ridiculously loud, besides the blowers, trimmers, and mowers they also occasionally cut the trees with chain saws. It wouldn't be such a big deal...

For those of you that have or had the MF X-can V2 I was wondering do you know what kind of regulated power supply I should upgrade to? I don't feel like paying 200 or more for the MF dedicated power supply so I was thinking of going to radioshack and buying one of their regulated ones. I was...

This week until June 15th Costco has the 4GB sansa clip silver for 59.99+tax after coupon in stores. Great deal imo and this thing really does sound as good as all the reviews say, I prefer it to the recent sony mp3 players (bought one and returned it) which also get really good reviews. The...

Okay for you video playback experts I have a question. Is there a way to make media player classic override other playback filters like zoomplayer does? I have some 1080p music videos/performances and some of them lag when I use media player classic with vmr9 windowless or haali media...

I just bought a used Bel Canto Dac1 and on the front it has a switch for "Phase Inversion." Anybody know what it does and the benefits if any for audio? I tried searching the web and head-fi but couldn't find much, thanks.

I searched but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for and have another question to add so I figured I'd make a thread. About 2 months ago I built a new computer and the gigabyte motherboard I bought supposedly has good onboard audio. It uses the Realtek ALC889A chip, can't find any info on...

I recently got a pair of M-audio BX8s off ebay and they came in today. I was very excited to try them out until I ran into a problem of how to connect a source to them. Later on I would like to take advantage of their xlr inputs with a high quality source but say I wanted to connect a normal...

I recently got a Dac-ah used from another member as I am once again getting back into headphones. I like the warm, smooth sound but the top end is sometimes grainy and also it seems to get overwhelmed when there are a lot of things going on in the music (it seems kind of congested). I have no...

Recently I bought a vintage stax setup from the I think early 80s, the electret stax sr-80 and srd-4 setup. I was itching to plug it in so it is currently connected am old Pioneer 5.1 receiver, just a normal one nothing special about the receiver. Just wondering if I would see a major...

I won an ebay auction for the stax electret srd-84s and I need a speaker amp to power them, the best bang for the buck option seems to be the sonic impact T-amp but they are OOS everywhere except on ebay and after 4 recently sold the cheapest is 60 dollars buy it now+12 dollars shipping. Are...

Well I got my Alessandro Ms-Pros off of another member 2 days ago and I am enjoying them but with my current setup: Chaintech Av-710 to toslink to Constantine DAC to RCA to Headfive I feel like the "synergy" isn't where I want it. I am considering selling the headfive for a different amp, what...

I've searched and obviously there are tons of threads about the AV-710 but I didn't find any about this exact setup. I bought the AKG K701s about a month or two ago and yesterday my Headfive Amp arrived. I plan to use my computer as the main source of my music although I do have a Iaudio X5L...

Hey guys Ive got enough money now to get an amp for my K701s, and I've searched through head-fi and haven't found enough threads with the info that I'm looking for. My target price is 300-400 but can afford higher, and I don't mind getting one that goes for more than that new but can be bought...

Hi, the AKG K701s are on their way and I was wondering for those that have the k701s or those that are very knowledgeable on the subject(basically if you know how the K701s sound and which amp improves its strengths or makes up for its weaknesses), please let me know which budget amp you think...

Hey I joined this forum awhile back but I dont post since I dont think I know as much as all you experts out there. Anyway, I decided to get some new headphones for home use meaning they don't have to portable, and noise is not an issue. My budget is 250 dollars, I can maybe stretch it a little...
