I'm going to sell my KGSS once I get my A-10 (hopefully soon; Ray says that he's almost on the last lap). It's in immaculate condition. What kind of prices are people getting for them?

I agree with the audiophile wisdom that Bose is way overpriced and often gives sub-par sound. That is the overall impression I have of the stereo in my Nissan 370Z... the amount they charge for the "upgrade" from the stock stereo is pretty ridiculous for what you are getting. The bass is boomy...

Just got a 2009 Nissan 370Z. Overall, it's a fun car, but the stereo is a little troubling. I got the maxed-out version, which comes standard with... wait for it... a Bose system! As with all things Bose, it's not so much that it's horrible, it's just not what you'd expect in a fairly...

TTOuter Stabilizing Ring 600 Gram Light Solid BRASS NEW - eBay (item 330308545875 end time Mar-02-09 15:00:56 PST) This seems to be the most affordable stabilizer ring (or periphery weight, etc.) that I can find. Does anyone out there have any experience with these? I've been trying to avoid...

Hey, all. I recently got a Transrotor Apollon 40/60/M turntable. So far, everything is going pretty well as far as setting it up, but there is one problem I'm having. There is some rumble that seems to be related to the motors (there are three of them, and they are outboard, so they don't touch...

I found a set of these CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP and will probably buy them on Friday. I have to see them first, but as low as the price goes, it's going to take a lot for me not to jump on them. From the guy's description, it sounds like it may need a tweeter replacement. How easy is it to find...

There's a pair of these (used) locally for CHEAP. Like "I could easily spend more on sushi" cheap. They seem to have had a somewhat high (like upper mid-fi) retail price, so either it's a good deal or the person just can't get rid of them because they're crap. Obviously, I'm not expecting to get...

Well, this has been one hell of a week! I got a call from my sister informing me that my grandfather is giving both myself and my daughter $24,000... each!!! There's a really sad side to it, which is that he's doing this because he doesn't believe he'll be around much longer, as he's 101, and he...

First thing I see on Head-Fi this morning is one of those "Yes on Proposition 8!" ads; you know, the reactionary homophobic law that bigots in California are trying to pass. I'm guessing this thread will be deleted for being political... anyone see the irony here? I thought there was no...

I recently purchased an SPL meter, as I needed to properly balance my Ergo AMT headphones (the factory levels were way off). I figure, now that I have one, I should break out my Stereophile Test CD and use the SPL meter to help better integrate the sub on my daughter's setup. One thing that I...

I think I've found the headphones I can live with... the Ergo AMT/Amp2 combo. Nothing else I own is as fun as these, so I'm thinking of unloading the majority of my headphones and using the money for a near-field setup. So, I'd be selling my electrostatics and maybe all but one of my dynamics (I...

My Ergo Amp2 has individual channel levels; I purchased a test CD and was planning on using a voltmeter to make sure the volume levels are even, but the probes won't fit in the tiny little holes in the headphone jack (they do fit in a normal XLR jack). Any recommendations on a decent SPL...

Woo-hoo! The Ergo AMT and Amp2 showed up to my doorstep on Friday. I wasn't expecting them anytime soon, as they hadn't shipped from Europe to the distributor until Tuesday. I got a knock on the door in the mid morning; I peeked through the keyhole and saw a guy holding a big box. Without a...

Hey, all. My Linn Akurate is starting to make some noise; it's not noise through the headphones, but noise from the player itself. Normally, the player makes some noise when the CD is first inserted, but is pretty quiet the remainder of the time. Beginning the other day, the noise has continued...

I've had some problems keeping my Sota Nova turntable level. The stand that it is on is perfectly level, and while it is possible to get the platter level, you have to put the feet at pretty awkward positions to get there. Something seemed off. I think I found out the reason; the Sota has a...

Hey, all. I'm setting up my Grado Statement with the Adjust+ software. This is an absolutely amazing program that I highly recommend; I can't imagine having to go back to setting azimuth by sight or with a voltmeter. The problem is that one thing the manufacturer says rings wrong... he says that...

I just pulled the trigger on a purchase of the Ergo AMT headphones with the Amp2. Every review I've seen of the cans so far was with the Amp1; the reviews made them sound like they were really good, but not great, headphones; the reviewer almost always mentions that their opinion is that the...

I don't think it's any secret that, as good as the Edition9 sound, they're uncomfortable as hell. Maybe it's the earcups being made for the Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz, or maybe it's a clamp that makes the HD650 look like a girly-man. Either way, it's the only major complaint I have about...

I'm having a recurring problem with my amp... there are occasional loud cracks coming from the amp itself (not the headphones) and then a drop in the headphone volume. The volume recovers in about a second. The strange part about this is that it has happened on both my Egmont and my Coriolan...

I know HeadAmp does, but are there any other builders? I've been searching the web and can't find anyone else, which seems weird what with it being public domain and having such a great reputation.

I just got my Edition9 back from Drew at Moon Audio. I worked pretty hard at getting a fully balanced source to headphone system, so it was killing me to have my Edition9 not be balanced, given that they're my favorite dynamic can (although they're damned uncomfortable). So I contacted Drew...

There have been a couple of headphone amps on the market recently that say they can "Drive the K-1000." I'm speaking of the new TTVJ amp (drool!) and the Music Fidelity X-Can v8. My question is this... what has changed in amp design to make these different from regular headphone amps? My...

I recently left Los Angeles for a week to visit family and college buddies in Indiana. When I came back to LA, it hit me that I had not seen any of those obnoxious oversized sunglasses that 99% of Southern California women wear for a whole week. Perhaps that is why my stomach wasn't upset and I...

Hey, all. I've just received (well, it's at the post office, I'll have it tonight) the Adjust+ software for cartridge azimuth setup. The instructions that I downloaded mention a "loopback" cable, something I've never heard of. I emailed the company that makes the software, and they said it's...

This has always been a fascinating idea to me, as the only thing (IMO) that keeps headphones from bettering speakers is the lack of that physical "bump in the chest" feeling. Otherwise, I've always found headphones to be better for critical listening. Has anyone out there done something like...
