The other day, the minute hand became loose on my Wenger Battalion Dive Watch so I considered finding how much it would cost to be repaired. However, like I did with the hobby (headphones) I went overboard and researched all over the internet for info on watches. I even found a high-end watch...

After doing a search of the forums, I have come up with very little regarding these earphones, and rightfully so. They seem to be expensive for what you actually get, and they have not been out all that long yet. However, I am interested in these. I need some small headphones for my Ipod that do...

I have been thinking about setting up a modest speaker set up for some time now. After considering some much more expensive speakers as well as some cheapers ones, I've narrowed it down to these two. I heard both of these this past week. However, I haven't heard them at the same place. In...

To all of you Jersey Head-Fi-ers out there, where do you go shopping for your audio equipment. I have been to a few places such as Sound City in Denville, and Landes Audio in Chester. Are there any places here in NJ, especially in Northern or Central Jersey, that you would recommend I check out...

I found myself in my local Best Buy today and I wondered over to the speaker section. I've heard about some people talking about the Athenas on these boards recently, and I decided to check them out. In the near future I think I might pick up a pair in order to complement my headphone rig. I was...

I did a search a few minutes ago on this site regarding power strips. I need to get one in the next few days, and I was originally considering something along the lines of this or this. My main two purposes for getting a power strip are to gain more outlets and to use it as a surge protector. I...

Ive done a search here and found that not many people have listened to Roksan CD players, in particular the Caspian. Is this a decent source or are there other sources in the range that easily outperform the Caspian? Or is it just a matter of preference? If anyone has auditioned a Caspian could...

I have given up on my search for a good universal player . . . for now at least. Right now I and running short on money, but I still need to buy a good cd player. Right now I have two players in mind: the Cambridge Audio Azur 640c and the Nad 542. I know that both of these sources are quite new...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what you could recommend for beginning a jazz collection. I have been meaning to do this for a few years now, but I have always but it on the back burner. I think I will actually go and by some cds now, but I would like some recommendations. I am interested in...

For the past 2 months I have been desperately trying to find the Denon DVD-2900 universal player for cheap. For a while, ecost.com, macmall.com, and pcmall.com all carried this player refurbished for around $500-550. They have yet to restock, but I still have hope since ecost.com said that they...

Im will be looking for some decent interconnects as soon as I get my new source and head amp. Currently I have nothing so I really have no reference point here. I am interested in hearing what anyone has to say about Radio Shack Fusion cables. They are priced reasonably, but I don't know about...

Right now I am really, REALLY fed up. I cannot decide whether or not I should get into the SACD, DVD-A market right now or just get a stand alone cd player with better redbook playback. Two models that I am looking at right now are the Denon 2900 and the Rega Planet 2000. I would imagine that...

Thanks all. These can work for me.

Going off to college will be a great time except for the fact that I will be pretty damn poor. Meaning that my setup will have to be the most value oriented system that I can possibly get while at the same time considering upgrading possiblities. Soon I will be getting the M-Audio Revo (anyone...

Im just interested to hear what you guys have to say. I would have to nomiate: Who's Next by The Who

Are the Meier-Audio interconnects new? I just noticed them on the website for a decent price. I was just wondering if anyone has tried them out yet. Hiker

I posted a message several weeks ago reguarding several different sources and I got several comprehensive answers. I thought I was going to get the Philips 963SA with SACD playback capabilities. I was actually pretty sure, but then I thought about DVD-As. Does either disc have a distinct...

A few days ago I thought that I was set to buy a NAD 541I, but now I am not so sure. I came upon the Philips 963 SA recently and heard that it was pretty good. However, I am not sure of a specific price for this model, nor am I sure that it is necessarily as good as or better than the NAD. The...

Although I am not new to the world of high end headphones, I know little about high end or relatively high end sources. I will have a DT 880 and a HA-1 Mk II on the way to my house soon, but it appears the missing link will be my source. In the meantime i run off of a Sony CD changer, but this...

So what do you people think of the Paradigm Titan 2 bookshelf speakers? I can get a pair for cheap, but can't audition them right away. Thanks Hiker

Please disreguard. Thanks

Hey I am interested in getting either the old favorite, HD 600, or the newer DT 880. However, I do not have a headphone amp and would like to know of what will work well for about $350 or LESS. I would like to spend as little as possible. However, if I must spend the full $350 to get the best...

I've been looking around the forums for a few months now but have never yet posted. I have been both impressed and overwhelmed by the massive amount of knowledge floating around these boards. Anyway, I am looking to put together a decent home system. Right now I use ER-4Ps with my Ipod and with...
