I am trying to purchase a 5 ft. HD800S cable from them. Pricing is strange. The 5FT is the same cost as the 9FT on the website so I sent an email and called a couple of times. First email sent was 01/16/2019 and followed up with phone calls on the 22nd and today, the 24th. No response. Is...

Hello. I am looking for fellow audiophiles in the Upstate and Central NY area. I am approx. 30 mins north of Cooperstown, NY. Easy access to Syracuse, Capital Region, and Utica. I would very much like to hear high efficiency speaker systems (specifically HORNS, Open Baffle, and Field Coil)...

As we all know, Digital music reproduction and DACs improve steadily as time goes by.  My question is, how far must I go to get better DAC performance than my Emm DCC2?  It is the old standard version with the colored face plate.  Non SE.  It's approaching five years old, for crying out loud. ...

What do you all think?  Any advice would be welcome.  The A/V + USB (music server) capability makes the OPPO an extremely appealing choice.  How exactly does that work, by the way?  It can read music files from a hard drive?  There is an interface?  Wouldn't that require an operating system of...

My Emm CDSD transport is on the fritz.  According to the guy I spoke to at High End Audio Repair in Brooklyn, it's probably a problem with the switching power supply.  This is a common problem with Emm stuff, according to him.    He also told me that Emm is really difficult to deal with when...

I recently purchased an Airport Express. Mostly for wireless printing and internet. I thought "Airtunes" would be a nice benefit (fewer CD changes for casual listening). But Airtunes constantly and regularly cuts out with static. It makes Airtunes impossible. I have a Macbook Pro and...

I just purchased Misfits by Misfits and I am thoroughly enjoying it! It is definitely not the last word in fidelity but for pure fun it is hard to beat! Especially in the summer in NYC. Play this bad boy on a cassette deck in a 1985 Chevy Nova and you've got something of the Great American...

One and half hour vid. on Youtube. Check it... This is great stuff. Sorry if it has been posted before.

...#57. Johan Santana!

I need to get one of these for a friend of mine. It is a mooninite from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie campaign. It seems rather simple to build if someone could have the PCB made with the right circuit. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to get a copy of the circuit diagram. But...

A fine way to open the season! Glavine was great. The defense was great. Shawn Green actually got two hits (they should start Milledge anyway...). Here's to a great 2007 campaign! And awaaaaay we go! Let's go Mets!

Sigur Ros fans might know this Icelandic quartet. I saw them open of Sigur Ros on the NYC leg of the Takk tour. I thought they were better than Sigur Ros. They are coming back to NYC for you fans. I will be at the show at Lincoln Center on 4/02 and I *might* have an extra ticket. Here is a...

Really extensive w/pics/. I've been doing a lot of research on Emm Labs products and I came across this blog post. I think head-fi will find this player interesting and a good # of head-fiers will own it. Especially when it trickles down to the used market. This report involves some very...

I'm thinking of getting a used CDSD/Dac6 combo on Audiogon. Do any Emm Labs experts know the difference between the Dac6 and the Dac6e? I'm not referring to the Signature Edition. But rather the standard incarnations of both. Are there any sonic difference that can't be chalked up to burn-in...

Check it out! Get them while you can. One of the greatest things on the internet. http://www.saladrecords.com/bonhamfiles.htm

I'd like to organize a mini-meet dedicated to the beloved Senn. HD 6xx series headphone. The initial idea for this meet came from jjcha's post here. There are some requirements, though. I know Machead wants to go and bring his Rudi rp6-dq. I am also looking for an NX-33 and maybe a single...

I've got this Macbook Pro that I purchased yesterday. I made the switch from PC. The machine is making an incredibly high pitch noise, very piercing and similar to the tones in the "youth annoyance" post here. It is clearly audible, except for a very small window of space in front of the...

I've been listening to Elliott Smith today. I never really liked him very much. Something about his guitar tone and his voice just bothered me. I bought one of his albums and listened to it and thought "What's so great about this?" and then I filed the cd away. I never really heard what was so...

Just wanted to share pics of the speakers that arrived yesterday. Sorry for the poor quality. They are rather good sounding speakers. They seem to need more break-in. A very tiny but of muffle, but they still have a great deal of detail. I'm sure they will come out a little as they continue to...

Would any NYCers with the Stax Omega II system with the 007t Stax tube amp be willing to let me try it out? I can meet you where you are or you can come to where I am. I have a nice 300B/Cain & Cain double horn system that you can listen to. It can be a micro meet. Please pm if you are...

I am thinking of getting a Bottlehead SEX kit and putting it together. I have exactly zero soldering/building experience, but the kit is for beginners. I am looking for a basic guide on the web or perhaps from experienced builders that might point me in the right direction. This includes...

Anyone have channel imbalance problems on their SR-71? It is a construction problem, I'm pretty sure. The phone jacks cut out and crackle when the plugs move. It's really frustrating and unlistenable even though the problem is not too severe. I'm trying to decide whether to send it to Ray...

Anyone know when the new Intel chip will be available in Apple computers? I've decided to switch to Apple and I'd like to wait until this faster chip is available in them. Unfortunately my current machine is about to give up the ghost. I'm not sure if I can wait too long.

Anyone use manual typewriters? Here's a pic of a recent listening/working setup I have been enjoying. Hermes Rocket Portable Typewriter, RSA SR-71, Sony D-777, Grado RS-1. Anyone else use a manual? I am looking for another one, maybe an Olympia. The Rocket is nice for a portable, but the action...

The 421A is a double triode tube which means there are two triodes in the same tube which means stereo operation from one power tube. This is the amp I am considering. Here's a review: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/fi6/421A.html Garber would install an attenuator and a HP...
