    Canada Post tracking system question

    Waiting for a package which supposedly was sent on October 9th with Canada Post Priority International. As far as I know this is their premium shipping method. Still, today the 13th, it says they can not find the tracking number I got from the seller in their system. Anyone with experience...

    Distortion: Is it my system or the recordings?

    Do not know if this is the place to start this thread, but here goes: Been hearing "a lot" of it lately. While the records I have been rotating is of generally excellent quality, some have digital distortion at places. Especially womens voices seem to be troublesome. A couple of examples...

    How about the JVC HP-DX1000 paired with Zana Deux?

    Anyone listened to this combo? I have been on the outlook for a different flavour than the HD650, and after reading until my eyes are big, red and sore, my shortlist for now, has boiled down to only this can. I really like the sound of the HD650's with the Zana, but would be nice to try a...

    Good news I guess. Looks like they have put some old threads in there for starters.

    Norwegian Headfiers: How about a head-fi meet!?

    I thought it would have been really fun if we could manage to get together a have a head-fi meet sometime in the near future. Any interest in this? I don't know the best location, but suppose Oslo would be the natural choice? If you are interested, please post and share your suggestions...

    Quick question about the RS-1 cable.

    Every time I sit down with my guitar and use the RS-1, the cable (the place where the ends meet) tends to hook up to the strap button on my guitar. I have to be very cacious when moving my head. Kind of annoying, and I am afraid to forget about it and pull out the cable from inside the cups...

    While we are waiting for our Zana Deux'es... Who's in on this run?

    Thought it would be fun to know who on head-fi are in on this run, waiting for their Zana Deux. Also, what kind of equipment you're going to use with it would be nice, expectations etc. I have the HD650 and RS-1, an ONTech Monster DAC, using PC as source. I am using the Darkvoice 332 at...

    Any guitarists on head-fi using the Palmer PDI-03?

    Just bought a Palmer PDI-03 re-issue. I am going to use it with my 100W Mesa Trem-O-Verb 2x12 combo, so I am able to crank it up, making it sing (hopefully ) Not much use of a 100W tube amp for "bedroom use", so I think this will come in handy. Does anybody on headfi have experience with this...

    Pink Noise did wonders to my RS-1's!

    Been listening to my new RS-1's for a few days now, and while I think they sound really good, they have been a little bass shy and hard edged, and somewhat harsh and thin sounding. Felt like instruments sounded somewhat smaller than real life. And the piercing and harsh mids have made me turn...

    Help me choose between RS1 and GS1000

    I have decided to try one of the HP's, but having a hard time choosing which one to go for. I have read countless threads about these phones, but still not getting anywhere. I currently use the HD650s, and I'm quite happy with them with some material, but overall there is this dark sound, some...

    Videoplayer with ASIO support?

    I have been using VLC for a long time, but after getting an external DAC that connects to my PC with a coaxial, I no longer have sound. The problem is that this otherwise nice player, no longer supports ASIO. Do I really have to install Winamp or other crappy videoplayer to get sound with...

    Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

    On the first track "Don't Know Why" her voice gets very distorted its almost unbearable to listen to, hurting my ears. Is this because of a lousy job on the recording, or could it be something with my setup, or maybe the flac conversion gone wrong? Too bad if its the actual recording...

    Echo MIA soundcard/DAC question

    I am new to this forum and head-fi in general. Just purchased a HD650 and Darkvoice 332 amp. I am currently using the analog outs from the Echo MIA into the 332. That works ok, but I know I can get more out of it. I am now looking for a DAC, but would a 3-400$ DAC be worth the upgrade, or...
