Hey Gang, I am pursuing a small business proposition with a man who claims to be from a Chinese toy manufacturer. I have no reason to doubt him but I have no way of verifying his position with the company before I wire him some money. He does not have a "company" email address like others at...

I have been trying to find the soundtrack for the Tom Tywker film, Winterschläfer (or Wintersleepers), for some time, but to no avail. I have found it on Amazon.de (German) but I think the link is out of date and they want 90 Euros for it. Ouch. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you check it...

I just got a new Vista desktop because I am too damn cheap to go Apple. What is the best running Anti-virus/Spyware software that does it all and does not ask me every minute if I want to accept or deny the program I just started up? Price isn't a big deal and I have 3 gigs of ram to run it...

I am on the preorder list for the Westone 3s and I am just wondering about other Canadians experience with getting headphones shipped up from the US. I am worried that the phones will come with a $60 bill from the Feds. I have heard that it matters what shipping company you go with but have...

The Good News: I finally found tips that sounds great and are more comfortable for my ER-6i. The Shure SoftFlex are, for me, a great step up on terms of sound with a less compressed head stage feel and more defined bass. Also much more comfortable than the tri-flange as they require less depth...

Hello all you sleuthers, A few days ago I saw a thread from a member who had recently ordered an ipod from an online retailer only to receive it in less than pristine condition, ie scuffed screen and open box. Today I find myself in the very same situation!!! Damn you Ink Direct!!! I have been...

I have been searching around on how to punch-up the etys for a fuller sound. There are numerous options but no definitive answer. Cut down the triflange? Apparently they don't sit very well in the ear canal after. Use shure tips? Wouldn't that put them further back in the canal and thus reduce...

My Headphone journey continues with the Senn 650s! They are on the way from Cali thanks to a deal with rhythmdevils. I use an amp/ipod set-up, the problem is I really can't handle the 1/4 plug with the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. Too much cable, I've got to travel light! I have a good mini to mini in my...

I recently sold my HF-1s and replaced them with DT880s. I don't regret the change at all but now I realize one of the biggest improvements is having the circumaural experience. The advantages are pretty straight forward: 1) Comfort, the circum's can be worn for hours if you don't mind the heat...

I am just about to take the plunge into an amp for my HF-1s. I am interested in an amp that I can play around with and adjust, instead of buying a new one each time I want a change. Do the resistors in amp have specific characteristics? or do they perform differently in different amps? As in, "x...

Yes, fellow head-fiers, I am in the market for a portable amp. I have the HF-1s and want the full-monty from these babies. I listen almost exclusively through an ipod. What is the sweet spot in terms of $ for a portable amp, ie best value. I cannot afford a Hornet, in terms of cash or the...

Just got my HF-1s last week, love them. I use them almost exclusively from an ipod through the headphone out. But this being HeadFi, we all know that is about to change! I like a big detailed sound stage, a live sound. I use a lineout in the car and I think it gives superior SQ. What are your...
