First, I apologize as I'm sure this is well documented, and while I've done some searching here and on google, I'm not sure I've gotten the exact answer I was seeking. I'm sure I just don't know what I'm looking for, and therefore the search terms to find what I need. I'm getting back into hifi...

Stop me if you heard this one... Well, after purchasing my MS2i's, I've been wondering if I made the right decision sound sig wise. I went Allesandro for the "relaxed" sound, hoping to avoid the shrill tedious highs of the 325's, but found many recordings to wear down my eardrums after only a...

After reading some testimonials of the pairing of Sigma 11 and the Apogee mini DAC, I started doing some reading on the boards. Well, I'm wondering what you would suggest to be a good project for me. I have decent soldering skills, but never tackled something that could kill me. I'm confident in...

Well, I'm doing a music podcast, and for the second episode I wanted to do an intro into hi-fi segment. Nothing in depth, just mentions a few brands people might not be familiar with, and why I personally have devoted so much time and money in this hobby. Guess I just want some of your input...

After much talk and a couple practice runs, we got our first podcast up! We covered a few indie bands as we'll as a cool local (chicago) rock band. Next one is to be recorded tonight, and hopefully available weds. This week we're reviewing, Animal Collective, and Glasvegas. Check my page here.

Saw this and had to share. This radio supposedly works and has "touch" capabilities.

Just ordered the older Beyer 990's, with the coily cord, and have an Apogee mini dac on the way. Was wondering if the stock cord can be balanced like the K701's can. I was gonna do a cheap balance project, and considering 2 birds with one solder iron. Anyone try this?

Sorry, but after reading a few old threads, I had to ask... What are the most ridiculous thread moments? I'll start with the smugness factor. When someone (let's not name names) has to matter-of-factly end their post with their names, like they're having the last word in the arguement. I find...

I'm looking to sell some gear (canante, A900, and k701) and make a DAC upgrade. I was originally looking at the Stello Da100 used, but wouldn't have much left over for an amp. I'm looking for a good upgrade that'll last me a while, and am currently eyeballing the Apogee Mini-DAC in the FS...

Well, I wrote a review of the HC1000 and really enjoyed doing so, and when I saw a pair of DT 480's (not the 48's) on Ebay, and couldn't find any info on them, I rolled the die and snatched them up for a song, and the opportunity to do another. My first idea was to do a comparative review...

It won't turn on period. I get no light, no sound. Tried changing the fuse. Tried another cord. I would love to fix this so I can just sell or trade it away. Any suggestions?

A friend of mine wants to start a podcast (primarily about idie rock and music related topics, I'm doing a hifi segment of course) with couple of his buddies, and I told him I would help. He wants to use Skype, since not all of us are local, and record the conversation. Good idea, bad? Would be...

It's gonna be primarily a music podcast, and already got some topics to cover. I want to do segment on upgrading one's gear to get the fullest extent of one's musical enjoyment. I want to approach it as "Hearing it again for the first time. " I think I start on some budget portable iBud...

I never wrote a review before, then again I never owned a pair of headphones that haven't been posted to death on the boards. In fact the only thing I found here was stated by Seidhepriest in this thread. So here she goes for those interested... Backstory: Feel free to scroll to the bottom...

I'll pre-empt my thread by saying, If this has been brought up already, I apologize. I don't go to Rat Shack very often, but I noticed the KSC75's had a clearance sticker and was only about $9 and change with tax. Last time I bought them there I payed full price, and once before about $12...

I am currently waiting for my boss to get back and give me a check so i can hit the road and do a pick up. UPS came by to do their daily pick up, but the guy's truck was broken, and won't slip out of 1st gear. Well the idiot backed into the dock, which is on an incline, and now his truck is...

You'll have to forgive, I've been screwing around with my comp for a couple hours now with foobar and itunes. I just got a Cantante dac, plugged it in, it installed itself as "usb speakers". I tried to install the Kernel stream drivers and every time I select KS: usb speakers, I get an error...

I decided this topic to be a bit newb, so I opted not to add to the MOD thread. I splurged recently on the D2.5A from OBAD as a Christmas present to my Stax, then I decided to go overboard and upgrade my cans to the K701's in hopes of adding soundstage back to my life. In hindsight I should...
