Nice read for those of us who easily spiral down into gear-hell Stereophile: As We See It: Between the Ears

Has anyone been able to find out any info on this new CD player (~8,000)? I believe it's due out in July.

Westone: Westone Announces NEW ES3X !! If you guys do a google search, there's a review from DECEMBER 2008 for these things!!! How did we miss it!!?? 2009 is an exciting time for IEMS and Headphones!

Once again, stereophile seems to be paying attention to headphones. In the latest issue they assess headphone performance. And suggest that headphones and amps should be sold a packages (impedence matching), since it's unclear what manufacturers assume the impedence of the source will be (0 ohm...

POSTED IN WRONG SECTION!!

It's late and I'm too lazy to do a damn search! Any owners care to fill me in on the ALO modded K701s, before I pull the trigger? (geez, and I didn't even pick up my ALO780s yet!)..

I tried searching for info,but couldn't find anything concrete on the topic.. sooo, does anyone have experiencing with the Ultrasone line (preferably PL 2500s) and their synergy with tube amps versus SS? The reason I'm asking is because I'm contemplating trying the WA6 amp, but wonder if the...

I know the price of the Apollos are now 1195.00, but this place claims to have brand new ones for 829.00 (not an authorized dealer), along with other items... Has anyone else dealt with them? Elegantaudiovideo.com - Electronics Home Theater Equipment Plasma TV Displays

I'm demo'ing a pair and all I can say it HOLY crap! Anyone else have that experience or is just my beer induced fantasies taking over?!?!

Anyone with any "experience" regarding those two interconnects?

If you're interested in jazz guitar, this is an excellent CD to start with. Also, the sound is incredible, even on a mid-fi system..just goes to show you don't need to blow a wad on elaborate systems for decent sound! The music literally sucks you in and places you in the jazz club, minus the...

Since I am without headphones for a couple of days,and I NEED to hear music, I broke down and purchased a pair of Bose Triports with the intention of returning for a FULL refund by friday, BUT WOW! YOU GUYS ARE WAAAAY TOO HARD ON BOSE! This things tear it up!! They're at least a cut above...

Should I set my remaining audio components on fire to complete the purge... or sell 'em off to some poor unsuspecting n00b and pass on the curse!?!?

For anyone that's interested on audiogon there's an ad for an NAD sale.. brand new c542 for 375??? http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....lay&1186511203

Do solid state amps benefit from warming up? In other words, does SQ improve after leaving it on for x minutes from a cold start?

If there's a "unifying" thread out there, I missed it, but I'm starting this one anyway! I'm not sure how many OPERA owners there are out there in the head-fi world, but here's a thread to post your impressions... good, bad, or indifferent! It's time we unite... I will post my impressions in...

Currently, I'm in the market for a decent transport (i.e. can read 0s and 1s without any issues)... what does one look for as far as stats? Since this device will be regulated to ONLY reading data (not the conversion), I don't want to spend a gob of money 100 or under would be sufficient. Do DVD...

Could someone give me a reference point for the OPERA's DAC? As far as CDP (i.e. NAD, Arcam, Rega even, etc..) where does it fall??

Anyone have any feedback on the NAD C352 with headphones?

OkOkok! It was hard enough dealing with the HDTV add at work, NOW I gotta have some BIG bossomed blond tell me vibration is good?!?!?! Geez, I'm going to have the **** police after me at work!! I can see it now: wife/boss: "Hey, What you lookin' at.." Me: "It's a headphone site, really!"...

DOh wrong forum!! Moving to FS...

I'm not sure which forum to post this on, since it covers TWO areas BUT, oh well... Question: Which system would give\gave you MORE mileage (IYHO): Rega Apollo + RSA XP-7 OR Sony SACD\CD (ce595) + OPERA Those are the ONLY two configs available...(so please don't say, Hey...

I'm not sure if it's been done before, and I'm too lazy to look! But, would anyone be up to the challenge to post an ALL ENCOMPASSING AMP\CAN SYNERGY review? There have been TONS of amp reviews, but none that cover,specifcally, the synergy between the mainstream cans and the more popular amps. I...

Can anyone provide me with info\impressions of using the Digital (optical) out of the Sony ce595 with an external DAC? I'm currently running into a situation where I want to use the DAC on my OPERA, but of course it takes a coax, and the Sony has an optical out! So I would need a optical to...
