The TBAAM is NOT bit perfect and re-samples everything to 48 khz. Happy Listening! Quote: Originally Posted by globalghost Would you happen to know if the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro USB gives bit perfect playback as well? The Zero is on my radar as well, but I don't want...

FYI, that CD player looks like a D-777 and is definitely not a D-EJ01. Happy Listening! Quote: Originally Posted by krmathis Yeah, Kevin's once had a really nice "portable" rig. Kevin Gilmore's Omega II rig from some years back. * Sony d-ej01 * Stax SRM-212 * Stax...

If your laptop is not a Mac Book then yes you would be better served by the UCA as most if not all PC notebook digital outputs are not bit perfect. Quote: Originally Posted by george_7777 I need to get digital signal off my laptop. It's got a minitoslik output, so I was about to get...

The Swim Man IEMSs are not bad but are nothing special sound-wise--especially when you take into account their $99.00 price. However, they do let you take your music with you while snorkeling, swimming, riding a jetski, etc. They connect to your waterproof source with a regular 1/8" mini plug...

Adcom GDA-700 DAC modified with Zapfilter mk2 output stage > Single Power Audio ES-1 Happy Listening!

That means that your Zhaolu is not receiving a signal from your source. If possible try another source such as a CD player or computer, etc and see if your dac is able to lock onto a signal. Quote: Originally Posted by extenso Suddenly my Zhaolu displays a flashing mute button 15...

Unfortunately, those parts are not available. You can buy a replacement headband for the current generation of Lambdas , however, and it will work. If you are in the USA, you can purchase it from Yamas Enterprises at www.yamasinc.com . Happy Listening!

Yes. In my experience, the UCA-202 does provide a bit perfect output from it's toslink jack. You can't beat it for the price! Quote: Originally Posted by oatmeal769 I just bought a Zero DAC via Ebay for use with my home PC and CD player, both of which have optical outputs which I'll...

That statement makes me wonder what the context was of the conversation. IMHO, the 6528 is one of the better sounding output tubes that you can use with an Extreme that has been modified to accept them-especially for low impedance cans. Quote: Originally Posted by Skylab Then there...

L3k

I would agree that the L3k is a great rock/metal can. I can't say for sure if it is 'the' rock can since I have not heard the PS-1 or the Ed. 9 out of those mentioned previously. My main source is an Adcom GDA-700 dac with a Zapfilter 2 analog stage and the amp is a Single Power Extreme...

The 12AX7 is a small bulb 9 pin tube and will not fit in the larger 8 pin octal socket so they do require an ECC-1 or equivalent adapter. As to the 6BL7GTA and 6SN7, you can find all of the differences on the NJ7P website: 6BL7GTA 6SN7 In the ES-1 either can go in any of the front 4...

V3 Darth Beyers

AFAIK, these are only sold in Japan, although I have heard that the new Audiocubes store in NYC might sell them. Otherwise you need to purchase them from audiocubes.com or bluetin.com or another importer. Quote: Originally Posted by Manny Calavera What are the average selling price...

You could try Yamas Enterprises ( www.yamasinc.com/ ), however, they might not be able to ship outside the USA due to territorial restrictions set forth by Stax. Quote: Originally Posted by sniks7 Does anyone know where I can get a replacement cable for these in the US and sent to...

They most likely 'profiled' him since he is a Rastafarian. He most likely has dread locks and wears red, green, and gold clothing that could have marijuana leaves, spliff, etc images on them. Quote: Originally Posted by XGJFilmsX how did they catch him is what i want to know, dang...

Wow! I am shocked by how a well respected Member of the Trade is acting in this thread. Is this Head-fi or kindergarten? In addition, are you saying that the free cables were inferior to the cable with the same name that you sell for money? Quote: Originally Posted by Acoustic Chef...

Sorry for the thread hijack, Earl. I adopted them from a breeder ( http://www.lunakatz.com/ ). You can find kittens called 'bengals' in the local paper or sometimes in pet shops but they will not have markings like that. Quote: Originally Posted by infinitesymphony x3 on the Bengal...

I have a pair of bengal kittens myself and have had decent luck with a product called Bitter Apple ( Grannick's Bitter Apple ). You can find it at Petsmart or just about any pet store. Happy Listening!

Thanks for the tip! I picked up a pair as a backup. Happy Listening!

If you are considering Single Power, you also want to take a look at the Extreme. I enjoy mine with my RS-1s although I did sell my GS-1000s before I received it so i can't speak on how well it does with them. Happy Listening!

AFIAK, the way to tell is to look at the power LED. If it is in between the input and output jacks then it is a v3 or older and if the power LED doubles as the power switch then you have a SM3 v6 or later. Quote: Originally Posted by Low Fidelity How do I know what version of Xin's...

The 7N7 and 7AF7 sound great in my 336FM. My favorite is the National Union 7N7 which is the equivalent of a Tung Sol 6SN7GT/VT231 with round plates. Any of the others would also be a good choice. Quote: Originally Posted by rivieraranch With prices for the 6SN7 and its variants...
