Just wondering if anyone can recommend a fast, inexpensive USB drive; preferably small enough to fit on your car keys without adding too much bulk. $25-ish? 8 GB or more?   This would be used to run a portable OS.   The fastest USB drive I have to date is my SanDisk Cruzer Contour 16 GB...

Just a little confused as a day 2 Ubuntu user.   I have two audio outputs I can select for my FiiO E7/E9; Digital Output (S/PDIF) and Analog Output as you can see here:     The good news is, both work. I get sound regardless of what I choose.   My question is, which should I be...

I've always heard of and been interested in the BioShock series, and have owned both 1 and 2 for several months now, but never got around to actually playing them until I saw footage of Infinite. Weather you're an original fan of BioShock or new to the series entirely, this game just looks so...

Can't believe there isn't a thread on this, so as excited as I am about the game coming out in 5 days, I thought I would go ahead and start us off!   I will be primarily playing on Steam, but I will be picking up the PS3 version as well.   Who's got their Ultimate Loot Chest Edition...

Just wanted to take a swing at a fun thread; not sure if this has been done before.   On the occasion I've dreamt of finally obtaining headphones and equipment I've wanted for years, but last night I had a rather bizarre dream about headphones.   I had a dream my brother had these...

For me Head-Fi is the end-all audiophile community for me. Absolutely love this place.   I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that has a great community such as this for Amateur Fiction writers/readers to exchange works and give and receive feedback.

http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/111/MixAmp-58/   Well since these are really new there isn't a lot of information on them. I just got the previous mixamp not bot a couple months ago... This kinda thing always happens to me...   Anyways, I guess my only question and real...

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Head-Fi. ^_^ I’ve been satisfied for a long time with my UE’s but now I’m looking for an alternative as stated in the title. Reason being is that I’m simply paranoid about using my UE’s actively; I normally use them when I’m just sitting down or walking...

I know this is a silly thread topic but... does anyone know what the material of the audio-technica ATH-ES7’s cleaning cloth is? The reason I ask is because I recently lost mine and I can’t find it for the life of me, and I am looking to buy a new cleaning cloth that wont scratch or harm my...

Anyone know a “Head-Fi” type site for photo cameras? My friend is getting into high end photography and needs a good resource site like this. Anyone know of such sites? Thanks.

I’m highly considering giving this headphone as a gift for the holidays (and maybe another one to add to my own personal collection ^_^). I’ve heard lots of interesting things about this headphone but I can’t seem to get an accurate idea of where in terms of sound quality this phone stands on...

Well I know wireless doesn’t get discussed much here since the lack of a direct cable kills the sound quality unless it is broadcasted digitally, but I’m looking for something just for gaming. I figured wireless for gaming isn’t so bad since most games have the sound compressed to hell to begin...

I’ve been running my HF-1’s 72 hours +, and during sometime when I left for work tonight, I guess my amp battery got low and for however long until I got back the playback was distorted. As soon as I got home I quickly ran to change the battery and keep the burn in going. It’s fine now, but I’m...

I just got my HF-1 (#348) today, and with people asking for more reviews, I decided to give my first impressions. Note that this is an attempt at an unbiased review, where my goal is to try and analyze this headphone as it is, to allow fellow audiophiles decide for themselves. Though technically...

I’ve been trying to figure this one out for a while. I know very well that typical wireless technology ultimately causes signal quality to suffer, but since the AirPort Express streams music through you network digitally, I was wondering if this still applies. I figured since digital streaming...

Just ordered an HF-1 and found out they don’t come with a mini adapter. I know Grado makes some cheap but I’m sure there’s better out there. How are the ones at CablePro or Moon-Audio? Can anyone make recommendations of the best 1/4” to 1/8” adapter that offers the best quality signal? Thanks.

As the title states, I’m looking for entry level Grado/Sennheisers. I’ve had a long-term interest in both these manufactures, but currently don’t have the money to truly invest in either. Currently, I’m more set on saving up to upgrade my Micro cMoy to a maxed out Portaphile V2², but since I...

Ok, so the short version of the story is that I introduced my friend to the high-end audio world recently. I let him try out my UE super.fi 5 Pro's and he was blown away. The problem was, he couldn't maintain a good seal, or a seal at all even. He literally had to hold them in place. We tried...

I'm currently saving up for the Portaphile V2² to drive my UE super.fi 5 Pros. I'm looking for the best 1/8" mini to 1/4" adapter to connect my SiK ram din line out and my super.fi 5 pros to the Portaphile that will prevent degrading of the signal or sound quality and all that jazz. Can anyone...

I just ordered this cMoy amp, except bought it directly instead of bidding. I will be getting it in the mail soon and can't wait to test it out with my UE super.fi 5 pros. My question is, does an amp like this require burn-in? If so, about how much time until the sound smoothes out to its...

Hey all, Broke young college audiophile here, and I need help getting my first amp. I am looking for something that will bring the best out of my iPod Photo 60GB and my Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro. I would like something very portable that will be unobtrusive and practical in just about...
