Proud Owner of Jecklin Float Model 2s since 1990, but there's no way I'm showing a photo of me wearing them....My float's have however been photographed. A friend of mine did a story in one of those True Confessions type of magazines in the mid 90's entitled "The punk and the princess". Gist of...

These tow threads discuss the Dacs you're talking about. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/new...73/index1.html and http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/gu...00/index1.html I personally had a Dac in the Box for a month but the psu noise just got to me and I upgraded to a Lite Dac-ah...

Hi facelvega, you asked about the sound of my work-fi setup of Stax SR001 - Super Pro Dac - Sony dne10 pcdp just before the Great Head-Fi Crash of '07. In essence, I rank it generally higher than my previous Headroom microstack w/either B&O A8, Ety ER6 or Senn Hd-25-1. This it must be...

Potentially interesting thread this one. I think the setups that would be in this zone may be more likely to be office rigs than home rigs. These may be operating either off semi-decent sources eg pcdps with optical outs or desktop computers. There does seem to be little discussion of this type...

Dear all, Just wondering if anyone has an english version of the Stax Sr-001 Manual that they can email me. Thanks in advance for any assistance. regards, Giles

They can be found at www.headphones.com.au They have the Minibox-D for sale for AU$129 incl postage. The price is pretty comparable to the manufacturers price, taking into account shipping costs. Headphonic are based in Perth so it'll take at most 3 days to get to the eastern seaboard...

Hi Ray, Please mark me down for one of the first 200 of your new Tomahawk amps, black preferably. Thanks, Giles

This kind of discussion falls under the old chestnut of hi-fi technology and how quickly current production models become out of date. Frankly, the world of hi-fi technology has moved sparingly over the past century. Lasers and transistors were the last big breakthrough and they were 40 and...

Double post

Hi Waspus, I'm afraid that what you're describing is just the presentation of Naim stuff vs headphones. I also run a full naim rig (see my profile) which is not dissimilar to yours and I further have the DT880s. Having tried a headline (not the headline2) in my setup, I also felt, that whilst...

Mercuttio, Yesssss, I am investigating the woodies as well as the aluminium EM7 and EM9 clip-ons. These will be mainly for summer commuting (in winter the sr60's come into their own!!) I 've read the threads on the woodies incl, the most disappointing etc, but feel that it's worth a trial...

Hi Gabbabe, You can test Grados in Sydney Quality Hifi in 93 York St, Sydney, in Melbourne at Audiophile 519 Brunswick Street Nth Fitzroy, and in Brisbane at Decibel Hifi 201 Evans Road, Salisbury. If you are in Perth, Headphonic has the Alessandros to test. I guess if you're in Adelaide, bad...

Sorry about the bump,fellow Sydneysider here. Only come across this thread today. Some of our colleagues are slightly misleading on this subject. Recent changes to customs rules have elevated the customs-exempt value of products to AUD1000. This is not as a result of the FTA with the...

Hi Markot86 The best place for a consideration of PRaT is Martin Collum's 1992 article in Stereophile: Pace Rhythm and Dynamics. You can find it here. http://www.stereophile.com//reference/23/index.html . Any further comment by me on what PRaT actually is, is superfluous after Collum's...

Hi Rob, Why not become a contributing member to Head-fi for USD20? This will assist you in two ways, one you get a 10% discount at Headroom so your initial purchase cost is lower, and two because of the lower cost the VAT & customs will be correspondingly lower. Anything to cut down on...
