So, I'm going on a little European vacation this summer to celebrate graduation. Currently the plans are Munich -> Heidelberg -> Bruxelles -> Brugge -> Amsterdam, but may include a few smaller towns along the way. Suggestions of what to do/see/eat/drink would be appreciated and most welcome...

Well, I'm very satisfied with my current home rig (listed in sig) and am certainly not suffering for any lack of good sound, but the itch to upgrade is here once again. I have devised 2 current possible scenarios, but am unsure of which will give me the best possible sound, so any advice is...

http://warmowski.wordpress.com/2007/...jump-in-pitch/ Funny things happen when a keyboard recording is played back at 48 KHz instead of 44.1. I guess Van Halen were either too cheap or too broke to hire a real keyboard player. Anyway, the recording speaks for itself

Well I'm in the market for a new IC to go from my Dialogue II DAC to my Ray Samuels HR-2 headphone amp. I'm looking for something detailed and refined yet punchy, but not overly bright. Any recommendations? I've been currently looking at the Poth Audio Boo Cable Jr., a few Van den Hul cables...

Hey all, I recently noticed a slight channel imbalance (right is louder/deeper than the left) on my HD-650's, which I at first attributed to a faulty pot on my amplifier. Unfortunately, this seems not be the case - I have now determined that the fault lies in either the cable (SilverDragon)...

Well I just reinstalled WinXP, not knowing that I would need the damn EMU CD for driver installation. Unfortunately, I left the CD at home. Is there anyplace I can get the CD drivers, or is anyone willing to email/host them? I'm even willing to send someone a few bucks via paypal if they can...

Well I just got back to school from winter break, and decided to fire up my PPX3. However, after listening to a few songs, something didn't sound quite right. After listening more closely, I began to notice that the left channel seems a tiny bit quieter than the right. I compared the PPX3 to my...

Hey all, I just got a new 1212m and I'm interested in making it sound better. However, I'm fairly new to modding stuff, although I have pretty decent electronics experience. I plan on replacing the op-amps with the LT1364's and the analog output caps with Blackgates. Can anyone point me to a...

Hey guys, I need some recommendations for 6SN7 tube replacements to be used with a Singlepower PPX3-6SN7. I currently have the stock Electroharmonix 6SN7EH tubes, and I guess that I'm looker for something with a bit more richer and fuller sound. Any recommendations ? Also, I'm not really looking...

Heh, seems someone decided to h4xx0r Audiogon's main page. http://buy.audiogon.com seems to works fine for the most part however.

Well I'm about to begin my latest upgrades spree , and was wondering what you guys think will be better for my system: the HR-2 or MPX3/PPX3? To begin with, I'm more or less going for the HR-2 right now because I'm not too keen on the quirks of a tube amp (ie the warm-up time, stuff like...

Well I'm really interested in replacing the capacitors on the analogue output and power stages of my DV-414 dvd/cd player and I was just wondering if this is as simple as twisting off the old caps and soldering the new, matched ones on. Is this a worthwhile project, or should I just save up for...

Well I bought a "new condition" Sony D-180k off Half.com about a week ago and all seemed fine up until this morning. The problem is that all of a sudden, the player flat out refuses to fully turn on. What I mean by fully is that it turns on for perhaps 2 seconds, never starts spinning the CD...

Can anyone recommend me some good electric guitar music in the style of Al Di Meola or Steve Vai? I'm looking for some really high quality recordings

I know you guys get a ton of these threads, but I require some help in deciding on some headphones. First of all, I'm moving to college this fall, so I'm guessing that closed headphones will fit me better than open. However, I'm not forever closing the door on open. My current phones are Sony...
