Haven't been here since 2008(!). You people got me started on a set of Sennheiser HD580s, ended up going to 600s, then 650s, then cables, then WooAudio amp, then SinglePower PPX3 SLAM, tube rolling, omg etc etc...   9 years later, situation has changed somewhat, but Sennheiser has become like...

click on HQ. an angel's voice. YouTube - BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2009 SUSAN BOYLE (SINGER) (HQ) holy. i'd buy her albums NOW.

I know nothing of what's available. Examples of faves from the small collection I have: Beethoven Concertos - DG Complete Beethoven Edition Maroon 5 - It won't be soon before long (as "alternative" (?) as I get) Diana Krall - Girl in the other room (as "jazz" as I get) CDs I have and...

With the great lineup of upcoming titles, I picked up an xbox360 (again) and have been unable to resolve the problem of how to best set it up. As such, I turn to head-fi. Objectives: 1080p gaming. Good sound for gaming (directionality, impact, etc.). Affordable/recoup-able (if and when I...

I need a small, sleek portable player with a great DAC and: - min 4 GB - plug and play (can use as memory key for other files as well) - voice recording - radio - small enough to use for sports forget the budget for now. thank you!

First a quick purpose statement: I've found that there are times when I can't/don't have something clamped to my head (doing dishes, cooking, entertaining guests) where I wish I could still have great sound. So now I'm looking to put together a budget speaker setup. Just a casual system with...

a quick question: what do tube microphonics sound like? a buzzing in one of the channels?

#################### INTRO #################### I received the Sony NWZ-S616 this Christmas and have had an opportunity to compare it with my impressions of my recently sold 4G iMod as well as my modest home setup (see below). Now, I've hooked up that iMod to every amp I've had since my...

Group: E.S. posthumus Album:Unearthed Song: Pompeii I'd like more music like this, but am at a loss as to the genre classification... Any help much appreciated! Edit: Their official site streams select tracks. Click the ">>" button until you get to Pompeii.

what is that game called where in one of the trailers you see convicts being scanned and suited up and the end the guy says "its about damned time" as a helmet is lowered from above onto his head, cigar and all?

Just bought one. Anyone have any experience with these bluetooth headsets?? Please tell me I made a decent purchase?!

Let's see 'em! What's your bootay on when you listenin' to da music?

Wow. I just got my WA6 back from Jack. My baby has been at its creator's for the last two weeks for upgrades. Just received it today and thought I'd get started on that terrific 800 hour burn-in I've been reading about. Plugged in second tier GE 5U4GB and the stock 6DE7s (saving the Philips and...

which outperforms the wolfson dac, in context, inside iMods? i just opted to go the dac route and want a better sounding dac than the internal wolfson that is in the iPod/iMods. as a complete newb in dacs, i'm hoping some of you would shoot some price-points i should consider. thank you...

Budget: $500 Problem: best home option to get from flac to the amp? Notes: Open to computer-based options. imod? Thank you in advance!!!

She just "closed an FS deal for an SE MPX3 w/ SAA and HD650." Verbatim. I SWEAR

Alright. Six months and a lot more dollars than I planned later, I feel I am ready for community feedback (at least on paper) for my setup. As in the sig, ogg/mp3/flac => iMod (Rock'd) => AAC IC3 => WooAudio WA6+ <= Red Dawn <= SACDmod Sony C555ES <= SACD/Redbook | V Philips Metalbase |...

Well, I've finally arrived to the topics in the last of the main forums. I am a mostly headphone kinda guy. I was looking into a sandbox isolation platform for my player and amp, but am unsure whether source and amp isolation is necessary for me. The cost of two custom isolation...

How much did Mr. Wu charge to do the upgrades after purchase (i.e. I need to send it in)? More importantly, what options did you get and what effect did they have? For the uninitiated, I'm asking about the new "add to cart" buttons on THIS page.

Source: SACDmod'd Sony C555ES Amp: WooAudio6 Cans: HD650 I listen to classical and want musicality above all else. Soundstage, airyness, attack and decay, ad infinitum... What type of IC, or better yet, what IC should I be looking into if I want to stay around $150 used? Thank you!!!

Well? I know, all of you have told me that my iMod is a good source already and I agree. But I wanna try SACD! I'm curious as to what sources you have heard that are exemplary with the WA6 and which you'd imagine to be stellar with the WA6? Here's mine heard: iMod, DPC-383 best pick...

I've got a friend who's willing to let go of a 9/10 Marantz8001 for $550 + ship. Go or no for my system below?!!!?!?!

Marantz 8260 Setup will be 8360 => WooAudio6 => HD650 Yes or no? Is there a better option at the same price-point? Listen to Classical mostly. Never heard an SACD before. Apprehensive of the Marantz read-failure issues I've read about. Please advise? Thank you!

Originally posted this in the wrong forum stupid me My PCDP has a "1-Bit Dual DAC" prominently advertised on its cover. Is this any different from a regular non-upsampling DAC? Or is it upsampling? Main question: How would such a DAC implementation compare with regular present day CD...
