so in looking at the blackgate supply listing on partsconnexion's website, I noticed that there's more than one series with a part of compatible spec. It appears to me that the choice is between a polar "FK" unit and a "STD" polar unit... will i want to go with the FK over the std? I...

I'm looking for a quality rca cable that uses short connectors that will fit between the back of a car dvd player and the back of the dashboard interior. I've actually got some belden lc-1 with canare RCAP's from bjc but the canare connectors are too long to fit....and as such am now in the...

i'm in the market for a new soundcard for my pc...partly because i'm an avid audio enthusiast and naturally have "upgraditis", but also because the onboard ac97 C-Media 8768 seems to now only output sound out of one channel all i want is something to get bit-perfect analog sound off the pc...

I've been away a while because of work and school and don't really have a lot of time to research this topic hence my post here. Just wanting to get any thoughts & opinions on what soundcard to use in my new pc rig. I have pretty much narrowed it down to one of the 4 cards in the subject...

I was just checking out the audiocubes site when I stumbled upon a panasonic portable cd player that is stated to have the "Industry's first built-in digital amplifier in portable CD Player ". Looks like it's based off a japanese product line. Is it the beginning of head-fi philosophy being...

My music collection is all cd, of which I would like to keep it that way. However, there are roughly a half dozen or so tracks/albums that I like a lot but are only printed on Vinyl. From my point of view, in order for me to obtain those tracks I have two choices: buy the records along with a...

I'm REALLY contemplating trading in my trusty 600's and getting a pair of well regarded 650's...but I'm just wanting to get a general consensus on whether or not it would be worthwhile with the rest of my equipment??? Thanks, Rega Planet 2000->Maple Audio Whisper->Headroom MOHR with...

I'm contemplating the purchase of an ipod and I was interested to see how the output of my 570 compared to that of an ipod for driving a pair of cans. According to Apple's site the ipod headphone out is 60mW(can't find output impedance) and according to my 570 manual the output is "9mW + 9mW" 16...

I was sitting back, relaxing, listening to some tunes today while looking outside the window to a cool, sunny day and a nice **** eating grin creeped up on my face due to so much stoke. What combination of equipment, music and setting have caused such a reaction in yourself? Situations that...

Well as i've tried finding the best audio solution for a laptop i'm now looking for that of a desktop...gaming is not a concern...neither is dvd audio/sacd...neither is recording/input or digital output...merely looking for an analog out to a headphone amp. I was essentially considering...

i'm just looking into piecing together a desktop pc or laptop for lossless audio playlist playback through my headphone rig...i'm a little tired of swapping cd's every 2nd or 3rd song. I've been reading up on threads regarding the topic and noticed something I have not come across before... ...

I'm looking into getting a Sugden Headmaster and weighing the pros/cons of buying new/used...one of which is warranty and whether or not Carlos' mod is essentially a no brainer and sounds better than an un moded headmaster in every respect? Obviously I have to consider this with respect to...

Which amp is best mated to a pair of Senny HD 600's with an Equinox cable? It will be fed by a Rega Planet 2000 via Maple Audio Whisper Interconnects. I listen to cd as a source and primarily all genres of electronic music. Speak your mind for/against any of those amps. Maybe suggest any viable...
