Hellow there fellow head-fi'ers and ofcourse the Sleek Audio Crew . I am currently thinking about getting some new IEM's since the 3.5mm-connector-housing of my Aurvana's is loose and slowly getting even looser (damn you ultra-tight 3.5mm jack sockets). I am now considering either the Shure...

This is sick. The Wavio SE-200PCI. ...no need for recapping . Check out THIS LINKY for the explanation of the circuit (if you can read Japanese(?) LOL)

I have been thinking about the DT990's to replace my DT550 for some time and suddenly, today i saw a DT-990Pro for just 160 Euro. How do they compare to the new DT-990, as Pro makes it Pre-2005 right? I do not know how much ohm and age/model though.

Well because most of the threads in f=59 are "What should I buy?!" posts, this looked like some fun for a change. What would you like to upgrade in your current PC as Source rig? Anything PC / Audio related allowed! Okay, i'll start . First i want to upgrade my videocard, to...

When i was reading all kinds of things about DIY amp's it became clear that a amp performs best when near the maximum voltage, which would be around 18V (36V for both channels) for most op-amps in that class (IIRC). A PCI slot can provide +3.3 and +5 Volts, where both rails can output around...

Well after my long journey through the DIY forum I landed up here. I think a little story will make it easier for you guys to understand what I want. At the last head-fi meet in the Netherlands (organized by Digitalmind) I had the opportunity the listen to a Tomahawk with my...

I was wondering if the LM6171 would be a nice buffer in the CMoy design, or won't it do the op-amp justice. (or is it simply not possible) (yeah i also asked for the TLE2426, but that will be CMoy Jr. ) The Buf634 is like €10+, while the LM6171BIN costs me € 4,45 (ex. 19%) so easy choice...

I am still figuring out how I will build my first CMoy, and as I dont know if the 20-40mA current will be enough to please my Aurvana's. (42 Ohm, sensitivity of 115dB / mW) Should i create the virtual ground by a TLE2426 or should i use the usual 4.7KΩ Resistors? And I am curious if using...

Hey guys, In the upcoming vacation (next week for me ) i want to do a little project. And because i now dislike the sound of my Creative Zen Vision stock (got spoiled at a meet with a Tomahawk) i thought what the heck, let the Cmoy building begin! I've heard quite a lot about the Cmoy...

Well as this was my first meet i was quite impressed from beginning to end. I didn't tried every headphone, on purpose, so i have a good reason to go to future meets. Except for the "must-hear" headphones at the meet, i mostly tried the ones i always wanted to try, the HD-25, two Ultrasone's...

In just a few minutes i am finally going to order my Pentax K110D . But due to a price raise (€20,-) i cannot get the stock Pentax 18-55 along with it. Having in mind that the shipping (from Luxembourg) will take around 1-2 weeks i have enough time to get a cheap "kit lens". The first...

Hey there photographing headfi'ers! I was looking for a not too expensive manual focussing Dig. Camera, as i really love to do the focussing myself. However, this didnt work out i guess, the only convincing camera was the Fujifilm S9600, i saw this one for €390,- and i was quite satisfied with...

Hey everybody ! ! I am a huge fan of music wich combine Instrumental "classic" music with the modern sound of trance\dance. I'ts kindof hard to explain but i have uploaded a sample (small uncomplete, low bitrate, 'not-copyright-violating' version). Its "Barock Me" by Ray Burton and his...

I've been looking fo a while for a Digital Camera with manual Focus. And since most head-fi'ers have more hobby's than Audio only i guess some of you are also into photography. The camera i'm looking for should'nt be really expensive, so no DSLR's for me . I dont have the need for lots of...

Since the day i started 'listening' to music instead of 'hearing' it i'm worried about the quality of lossy codecs like MP3, AAC and WMA. Every time i hear a song i wonder if it is really how it has to sound, because of the loss of data in the compression. Of couse i could A-B every codec but...

Call me strange but i really dont know why everybody think the AKG K81's are great headphones! IMO they are very bass heavy, undetailed, they have an enourmous lack of high-mid's and total absence of tones in the upper spectrum. They completly sound unbalanced, especially with music with...

Does anyone know if the Sony MD66 or 77's are still available? I just love their looks and there exclusive-ness in Europe, especially in the netherlands, i've never saw someone with any eggo here. I just can't think of it that i missed them, i actually wanted to buy them from audiocubes...

Well hello to everyone, this is my first post in the most expensive forum i've seen. As my first attempt on killing my wallet i'm wanting to buy some higher grade In-Ear's then i am using now, the Creative EP630 (sharp cloner) and the Sony MDR-EX71's. I liked both but there's always...
