Hi all, long time no see! I'm looking for a few (<7 or 8) testers for a very, very simple Visual Basic program that does nothing useful ATM, but I need to determine a few things about MSIE 7. Requirements: MSIE 7 installed, on any version of Windows. Program: All it does (or SHOULD do)...

Note -- this is truly a "first impressions" thread, not a review. I have listened to the amp for a total of about thirty minutes so far, with selections from three or four different CDs. It's already well broken-in, having had at least two owners over the course of as many years. First off...

Maybe it's just me, but this player really looks cool... might make a good budget source paired with an external DAC (?)... http://cgi.ebay.com/HARMAN-KARDON-HK...QQcmdZViewItem Love the top loading mechanism, less crap to break... if I didn't already have two CDPs I'd bid on this.

I'm looking for a budget Socket 939 MB, and have narrowed my search down to these: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813135191 http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131035 Basically, I need onboard video at least temporarily. Both of these boards are very...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230016292543 Dang... for about the price of a CD, they got a great sounding player. Wish I'd been paying closer attention, my PC's been shut off most of the day today. Wouldn't have minded an extra player as a backup.

I think I may have actually found an inexpensive but good A/B switchbox (finally): http://www.garage-a-records.com/preamp.html Scroll down to where it says "Low Noise Phono Switch." Looks like it would work fine for two CD players as well. Just thought I'd let people know about this...

Add another player to my list of terrific bargains in used/inexpensive CD players. Got this baby today, and after correcting a bit of a shipping mishap I got it up and running. I was expecting a decent sound from the audioreview.com reviews of the player, but... my toes are not only tapping, but...

When I left the forum for awhile a couple/three months ago, the K701 was getting almost universal accolades -- now it appears to have some harsh critics. Has anyone done a poll to try & gauge forum consensus on these cans? What about fans, how many of you have changed your mind and decided...

I'm thinking seriously of getting a Zhaolu in the near future, and am wondering if anyone compared the upgraded discreet headamp to a basic Pimeta or similar circuit. Seems likely that it would be better because it's discreet, but not necessarily... depends on how good the buffering is for...

Been away from head-fi a couple weeks, and I don't anticipate posting much for awhile longer (but ya never know). I've been dealing with some depression and lifestyle issues -- basically a midlife crisis, in addition to just being a bit sick of the headphone hobby & short of funds to spend on...

At the moment I don't have the funds to buy a new source, so I'm stuck between these two: (1) Toshiba SD-3980 DVD player. Excellent PRaT and bass/treble extension, good resolution but *very poor* transparency and background blackness, poor front panel readout (displays only track number)...

Hiya, If you posted some pics, I'd possibly like to host one or more of them in the future on a personal headphone-related website (which will NOT be for profit). Is it OK with you guys if I borrow a few of your pics eventually to spice up a personal site, as they're related to the biggest...

How much are you guys paying *shipped* for your K701s? Around $350? And where did you get 'em? I currently own a K501 and Beyer DT250-80, both in excellent condition. Best case I could get $120 for the DT250 and $100 for the K501, which would bring me to $220. That would leave me around $130...

My first thought after putting it on my head was "Yes! Well balanced." They are indeed a little dark in the highs as some people have said, but the bass doesn't overwhelm the mids (in fact the mids are excellent). These things kill the K240S. My second thought is that I think I've found my...

Strange, seems like everyone and his brother is selling a pair of K340s on the FS forums lately. Either it's the FOTM syndrome burning out, or people are finding them in their attics or something . Anyway, interesting...

Has anyone heard these headphones and have any feedback as to how they compare sound-quality wise? Thanks.

About once every 10 years or so I watch the movie "West Side Story," and today happened to be the day I got in the mood. OMG though, the music in that film is so catchy it's evil. Right now the song "Tonight" is going through my head over & over, and I think the music will still be haunting me a...

A couple years I did a search and couldn't find a single high quality A/B type switchbox online (two sources to one output, or vice-versa)... lots of cheapo audio/video switchers with dubious sound quality, but *nothing* that looked any good. Any tips?

What's the cheapest way to do this (barring modification of the amp) that is guaranteed not to hurt sound quality?

Edit -- I realized this topic has been extensively covered in the past (and tends to degrade into flame wars), so I'm withdrawing the thread... sorry.

I received my Sennheiser HD-414 yellow pads today, and immediately tried them out on my Koss Portapro2s. The original plan was to use them on top of the stock pads, and that's the first thing I tried. Sounded pretty good, but my first thought was "why would I listen to these over my other...

Been browsing the vintage CDPs on eBay, and it seems to me many of them are selling for too much. Adcom GCD-575 for $215.51, Rotel RCD-975 for $224.50, to name a couple. I don't get why these players are going for over $200... we're talking early 90s players and in some cases (like the Adcom)...

Just wanted to recommend the universal remote I picked up for my Rotel RCD-855: Radio Shack catalog number 15-1908 (5-in-one). Great remote because (A) it controls a pile of vintage gear including CD players and amps/tuners, (B) it's documented online, (C) it takes 4 "AAA" batteries and is...

After awhile, I completely forget they're on my head -- enough said. P.S. I really don't understand the gripes of a few about the weight of the headband pressing on the head. I wear my hair very short, and have no issues whatsoever. I just don't feel the pressure at all (seems perfectly...
