    Rockhopper Audio Balanced Beta 22

    Thought I'd share a few pics with everybody. Been rocking it a few weeks now, and its really exceeded all my expectations for a home headphone amp. Before receiving the Beta 22, I'd been enjoying my Wheatfield HA-2 with my HD650 so much that deep down I was hoping I'd be able to say...

    Looking for more like Mozart's Requiem: Dark, Big, maybe Catholic Classical?

    I'm listening to Harnoncourt's Mozart's Requiem for the hundredth time. I find that I keep coming back to this dark, intense material when I want a serious classical fix, so I really would like some more of this. So if anyone can point me in the direction of certain composers, or specific works...

    Alessandro Lead/Ship Time

    The left driver blew on my old style dark wood RS-1s, and they are currently in b-r double-o k lyn tha' planet getting repaired. So I'm listening with Senns, and they are fine, but I'm really missing the Grado-esque sound. I've decided I need a backup pair of Grado-like phones, so I'm...

    Mapletree LR 1 Line Router: Seeking Owners Opinions

    Does anyone own, or has anyone at one point owned, this product from MAD? I'm trying to find a way to deal with multiple sources, plus I'm considering adding a new amp. So I'm basically looking for a box that I can run inputs from my SACDP, TT, and potentially a dedicated CDP to, and have...

    If today you had to pick an SP for the RS-1: MPX3 or Extreme?

    Simple question: if today, you had to pick an amp from Singlepower, specifically for use in driving RS-1s, would you opt for an MPX3 variant or an Extreme variant? And with what tubes?

    EDIT: I ended up buying the 1200, but please still feel free to vote or comment. Hello Dedicated Source Components Forum- Simple question. I'm at the beginning of thinking about maybe possibly considering buying a vinyl rig. I don't have a lot of vinyl, and am aware I'm probably suffering...

    Hello Dedicated Source Components Forum- Lets say I was to buy a vinyl rig: turntable with tonearm and cartridge, and a phono stage. What else goes into setting all of this up? I read lots of thinks about setting the cart, setting tonearm pressure, etc. What else would I need to purchase to...

    UPS Store Private Mail Boxes: Anybody have one?

    So here's the deal: I'm a single guy who lives alone. I order lots of little things off the internet, sometimes audio equipment, but mainly things like fountain pens, CDs, and books. Most of these items are shipped signature required, so it makes no sense to have things shipped to my house...

    RCA 6SN7 Grey Glass: Slight hum in right ear only

    The title pretty much says it all. I recently acquired an RCA 6sn7 grey glass which I'm using in my Slam. It sounds wonderful, only there is just the teeniest hum in my right ear only when using it. As soon as I switch out the 6sn7 with another tube the hum goes away. I don't like the hum...

    SACDP Questions/Suggestions >$2000.

    Quick question, and a super vague one at that. I've grown accustomed to the high quality of music coming from my Stello DA100. I am a fan of classical music and am contemplating purchasing an SACD player specifically for listening to SACDs (this after becoming discouraged from getting into...

    Building a Vinyl Rig

    Well I'm very happy with my computer/CDP rig, and I am looking to build a vinyl rig for my "study" room (really just an empty room with an inclined writing table that I haven't received yet). I already own a few albums on vinyl, and other albums can be purchased so cheaply, this is looking to be...

    Current Grados (regarding a quote from a FS post)

    I saw this quote on a post in the FS forum, the seller was selling a pair of RS-1's: Quote: The serial number is 7xx, so they are older Grados with none of the current manufacturing problems. "Current manufacturing problems?" Did I miss something? I know I don't read all the...

    Tube Amp To Complement my HA-2 MKII SE (ear+, singlepower)?

    I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas eve! I'm looking to make the foray into tube amps, just because I want to know what is all about. Tube rolling looks intimidating as hell, but I love a challenge, and it looks like fun. I absolutely love my Corda HA-2 MKII SE, this amp is a...

    What is the deal with this mega-warhouse 3rd party merchants on half/amazon?

    You know the ones I'm talking about: dvdlegacy, moviedogpound, caiman, and a dozen others, these mega CD/DVD warehouse sellers that have EVERY CD OR DVD YOU SEARCH FOR IN STOCK! They all seem to have ratings in the range of 87%-95%, which is pathetic when you consider the sheer volume of their...

    Hello Head-Fi'ers! And happy holidays to you all! I hope Santa-Fi brings you lots of yummy cans, amps, and sources. As for myself, I'm wondering if it is worth it to set my eyes towards another transport. I currently have the SCD-CE595, but I never listen to SACDs, and I don't really need a...

    Vinyl and my DAC + Amp. Searched, still confused...

    Hello! I'm doing research into the possiblity of adding a turntable to my setup. Problem is I of course thought I would just be able to buy a new turntable and run an optical/coax cable from it to my Stello DA100, which then runs into my HA-2 MKII SE, the same way I do with my CDP. Then I...

    Burning In A Can While Listening to Another - Two Jacks

    Hello! Quick question about a burn-in method I've been thinking of employing. The HA-2 MKII SE has two headphone outputs. I was thinking a decent way to burn in a set of phones is to plug in the phone I want to burn-in into the lower ohm jack, and the phone I want to listen to in the higher...

    Sound sig like K701 sans the Painful Strap Of Doom?

    So I owned the K701 for a short time, they were the most uncomfortable things I ever put on my head. They sounded great out of my Echo Indigo DJ and Headfive, and I can only imagine how much better they would sound on my current rig. Unfortunately, the strap system makes the K701 unacceptable to...
