    This is a new DAC from Wadia. According to the Stereophile blog (click on image) there is a headphone amp by Ray Samuels. Looks like there are choices a plenty in the $1K DAC arena.

    DIY Interconnect Cable thinking silver- Homegrown? Venhaus? Other?

    I want to try building a silver interconnect because I think (maybe hope is a better word) the reputed “harshness” may be a good match for my laid back system. That and I just want to try something different. Simply put my goal is to build a quality set of 1/2 meter silver based...

    Singlepower MPX3 Preamp Output too high? Or amplifier input too sensitive?

    Howdy All, Got a question regarding the output sensitivity of the MPX3 when used as a preamp. I purchased an MPX3 with the notion that I would use it as a preamp 80% of the time and a headphone amp around 20% of the time. I wanted to bypass the preamp portion of my vintage Sansui AU-20000...

    Have I walked into coloration hell?

    OKso here is my stint. Bought some AKG701's. Hated 'em. Too bright. Bought an amp, a near stock PPX3. They got better but I still could not listen to them for more than 30 minutes. I just bought the HD650 and now I feel like I'm straining to hear what is going on. At the LA and OC audio...

    Good Trashy Big Band/Jazz

    Ok I'm totally infatuated with what I'm surely incorrectly characterizing as a trashy Big Band sound. I'm thinking like Cab Calloway playing Minnie the Moocher. You know, something that would be right at home in a smokey saloon accessed by a back alley in the 1930's where men of poor character...

    I'M ADDICTED TO BUYING STUFF.

    You know I think I understand where crack heads get their urges. I'm seriously addicted to buying stuff. For whatever reason it just makes me stupid happy. Maybe that's why I love this hobby so much... and moreover why my job is a buyer. I just bought these awesome guitar hangers from...

    Turntable Stand - Vibration controlled or not?

    Which is better? Having a turntable stand that has some sort of vibration isolation platform or a turntable stand that is just downright heavy and massive like say a solid marble pedestal?

    Airplane Listening

    Does anyone else find listening to headphones on a airplane intolerable due to the air pressure. Everything just sounds funky to me, no matter what I listen to it sounds like the music is being pumped through a pinhole. Not to mention I get an all out headache. Am I weird or what? Do IEM's...

    I'd even accept lower quality as long as it's digital and portable.

    Howdy All, Just sitting down to eat my lunch and clicking through the news as is my daily ritual and came across the news article "High Fidelity Takes Backseat to Portability" http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Musi...ref=rss_latest Thought it is applicable to life after Head Fi since the...

    Cable Cost vs Equipment Cost

    Here is a question. Near all of us have some type of budget our stuff, you have to with this hobby. Do you have, that is already own, a single run/pair of cables (headphone, interconnects, speaker cables, and/or power cable) that was more expensive than either of the two components the cables...

    Transparent Cable: What is in those little "network" boxes.

    Does anyone know of a place that has.... or better yet has anyone ever let curiosity get the best of them and popped open one of those transparent network boxes? What is inside of them? The whole secretive thing is killing me.
