Hi everyone. I got an Audio GD C2C about a month ago and really like it. I had been reading lots of reviews on the Purity Audio Caliente and Skylab and Tbonners reviews in particular seemed very favorable. So I couldn't resist ordering a caliente when it became available a couple weeks back. I...

Hey, I was just thinking about how when I was young and music just affected by being so very much. And I realized that through the middle part of my life I kinda lost touch with that. And recently with my new Denon D7000 and a new Stello DAC and the C2C amp, I am experiencing music like this...

A little over 6 weeks ago I had a chance to borrow my roommates Compass for a week while he was gone. I used the week to compare to my EF1. I liked the Compass and realized the advantage of a dedicated DAC over my arraingement at the time which was a modded X-FI to EF1 amp. But I thought...

Check out this site for high quality acuostic music. Also some interesting video, of Alex De Grassi playing a 39-string harp-sympitar.

Hi, Ive been hanging out in headphones and amp section for a while. I just got a chance to use my friends compas dac+amp. before I had been listening to music from my modded x-fi music soundcard. From the compass I get a flatter more nuetral sound (but kinda digital), but i feel like i am...

title pretty much says it all. I need to reduce the imput signal to my EF1 amp so that i can get the volume out of the first %10 of its range to correct for channel imbalance. How would i chose resistors? any guides or links to doing this as i am a newb when it comes to diy. thanks for the help.

I got my first full sized amp this year (besides the stax 2050). I really love the amp but the pot is seriously imbalanced in the low volume range which is predominently where i do all my listening. I find it very annoying, I just got d7000 headphones which are even more sensitive than anything...

I never heard much difference between headphones and 2.1 settings on xfi with my akg 701. I just played with it on my yuin ok1 and was amazed at how much wider the sound field got with the setting turned to 2.1. so does anyone know specifically what the xfi headphone setting is doing to the...

I just got an head-direct ef1 hybrid amp and wondering if anyone with hybrid moddification would know what makes more difference modding op amp or tubes or if its possible to describe the subtle difference between the two.

hey guys, i decided to wash earphone pads to wash and lost 1 of the quartersized foam pieces. I emailed hecter at akg and they only sell the whole earpad which cost 22.50. I just need that 1 piece of foam, if anyone has this i could pay you for it just cant afford 22.50. or if you can think of a...

I have the akg 701 and currently use go-vibe v5s with 24volt elpac to drive out of modded x-fi. Ive been reading the forums and keep hearing that home amps are so much better, started to get the upgrade bug. also just got some yuin pk1s and they seem even more difficult to drive than akg are...

I really like to crank up the tunes and go for a good bike ride. Ive had a hard time finding a headphone that works really well for this. My Grado SR-125s have been the best so far. And they just got better this year. The cable shorted out, and it was the biggest pain anyway trying to roll up...

recently my grado headphones developed a short in left earphone wire. at the y junction the cover came lose exposing smaller wire underneath. after headphone shorted out i tried to pry y apart to get at cable underneath it doesnt just pry apart. i feel like i might damage more by messing with...

i would like to replace my 1/4" plug on akg 701s with 1/8" plug. i know this has some issues because they are bi-wired to plug. has anyone done this with their akg 701s. any advice? ive done very little diy electronicly so pretty much a noob. thanx for your help in advance.

ive been trying to find other foamies that fit er6s, they use the bi flange silicone tip or a wide donut foamy. i like the sound with foam but the fit isnt quit right and they are starting to fall apart. i was going to get sure foamies because they seem to be highly regarded but i cant seem to...

i want to get govibe v5s. just looking for different op amp suggestions. really want to know if it is worth upgrading to ad8610/8620 from stock op amp. using with ety er6c and akg 701 and grado sr 125. thanx for your time and recommendations.

ive been using some ety er4p and for a couple of months now and never really believed an amp would make any difference. but i just plugged into my headphone booster from radioshack, (which is just getting me by with my akg 701s till i get a real amp), and wow they sound a lot better, more depth...

ive hear westone cables are supposed to be microphonic free. will they fit etymotic? any sonic differences?

etymotic says er6 is most accurate next to er4s so do they sound better or equivalent to er4p? i am finally warming to the sound of the er4p i purchased for a second time. i just recently tried the foamies with them and like them. but i purchased the er4p from wal mart online just because they...

i bought akg 701 headphones 2 months ago. did the 300 hr burn in. absolutely love the sound of these. about 3 weeks ago a little plastic part that holds the headband off the head broke. ive emailed there us customer service dept 3 times. ive called several times and gotten a busy signal and left...

i have some akg 701s i purchase 2 months ago, and little plastic part that holds the headand above the head broke. i really love the sound of these headphones, so i havent been too upset about a little cosmetic thing like this. i am using a bread tie to keep it from collapsing. but ive emailed...

i am looking for and equalizer that is software based that has 30 band capability that will work for mp3, cd, dvd inputs. i use the x-fi soundcard. any suggestions?

i am intersested in listening to different tracks in movies in real time for background and intricate detail. is there software that does this? sometimes it would be to eliminated the dialog, sometimes to eliminate music, it seems like you could filter out things you didnt want to hear to focus...

i am shipping my stax sr-001 to podfitkits for and earmod. i am wondering what best process is for shipping, making sure they dont get broke and possible theft? how do you ship headphones? anyway to be sure headphones are insured?
