Hello, I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you a little back story before I get to my point/questions. I started with an all located in one place rack for both speaker headphone equipment. Not great as no easy way to change headphone volume. I got away from using my big headphone amp and...

Hello, looking for something pretty specific, hope you can help. I'm looking for a full size headphone (closed back) that can have the earphones folded so it can be more compact for travel. It needs to be efficient, will be driven off of a Hiby R3 pro Saber. Would like to spend 200 or less, so...

Hi All, Every time I go into preferences and try to change my email address, I get an error occurred on our server message. This has happened for a few days. Any ideas on how I can change my email? Kevin

Hi All, I have remained an active user in the hobby, but have not purchased anything in a while. Thinking it might be time to look at that. Looking for some ideas, my amp is a Woo WA6SE. Not looking to change it, I quite like the amp and have purchased enough extra tubes to probably last me the...

Hi All: Looking for an under 200.00 IEM for use with my Ipod classic. Using standard Apple earbuds and Koss PortaPro's now. I listen mostly to rock, pop and jazz. I don't use a portable amp. From looking around, it seems like my choice is: Westone UM1 Shure SCL-3K UE Super.Fi 5 Pro So...

Hi All: Looking for a pair of headphones for my new Ipod. I have kind of specific needs (like most people) and thought I would throw it out to the group to see what you suggest. For now, I'm looking to use these un-amped right from the Ipod. Looking to spend under a $100, need to have...

Hello All: I want to thank finleyville on the "Cuban Cigar" thread, he was the one who suggested pipe smoking. I did a little internet research and find I enjoy it much better then cigar smoking. Anybody else out there?

Hi All: Does anybody use a commercial software program to keep a record of all of the CD's they own? If so, what do you suggest? Thanks!

Hi All: I have been following the Philips 963 thread for some time. Here is my question...I have a good redbook CDP player (which I can upgrade to upsample). So I really don't need that feature, I see the philips DVD763SA (DVD/SACD) for 199 new or 144 used. I'm sure it can't be any worse then...

Hello All: I found this new web site that sells only classical CD's, thought I would share it with you. Designed really well for searching for classical music. Arkiv Music

Hello All: I would like to start a new thread on any expensive “audiophile” CD’s you might own. You know, the Chesky, Mobile Fidelity, XRCD, DCC or Huge Box Set that you paid the extra money for. What is your favorite (or what did you hate)? I’ll start the ball rolling with two of my...

Hey All: My ATH-A900’s arrived on Friday, and I thought I would give a quick description. In the looks department, they are much nicer then the picture, comfort factor is also very high…you hardly know there on. The sound is great, just a trace of grain, which I’m sure will clean up with...

Hello all: Anybody ever built one of these or know anything about it? JR Power Box TIA

Hey All: Here is a question for you, do you think that the Two Towers DVD (when released), will come in a directors edition longer then the 3 hours 15 min it ran in the movies? I'm thinking the first movie was cut back because they did not know how popular it would be, so why risk a 3 hour...

Hello All: I have my headphone choice down to these two. Has anybody had a chance to compare these two? I know that the Beyer's can sound kind of bright, but that they can also be tamed by running them off the 120 Ohm out on the HA-1 (which is what I would do). Any thoughts would be helpful...

Hello All: Just picked this up based on the duel reviews in the new TAS (Golden Ear Awards). Wow! Hard driving rock with very intelligent lyrics. This is an excellent album (and sounds great with headphones). You should all get this…now, you can thank me later.

Hello All: Well, I broke down and purchased a used Corda HA-1 , should be here in a few days. I'm sure it will make a huge difference with my curent cans (AKG 240), but I am probably going to upgrade here as well. Looking at the HD580/600 or the AT ATH-A900. I have read all of the posts I...

Hello All: I just received the "limited edition" version of Toro Amos-Scarlet's Walk for Christmas. In addition to the CD, the box included a DVD with three music videos, a sticker sheet, a large fold out with a map on one side and lyrics on the other and a small plastic frog. All in all a...

Hello All: Anybody used (or heard) the Zu Cable OxiFuel IC's? Fairly good review on SoundStage, just looking for some actual opinions. Here's the company link: Zu Cable

Here is a link for the new Pro-Ject Headbox amp that musicdirect will be selling...I think it's about $250 retail. Headamp Link

Hello All: Any Marillion fans out there? I find myself listening to them more and more. I am really into the live album Zodiac, which I purchased from England. Any comments welcomed....

Hi all: A quick question, as I am somewhat new to this. Do most of you hook up a headphone amp directly to a source, or do you use a tape out on a preamp (or intagrated amp)? Better sound one way or another? Thanks in advance!
