Hey all, I purchased a Fubar III about a year or so ago - and Im very happy with my product. However, since then I've noticed that they have upgraded the Fubar III's and have come up with an even newer product - a Fubar IV. This is the first I've heard of it, and to be honest Im more of a...

Really awesome review - I do have a question for you though. I went to the site you mentioned above but I purchased a newer version of the Cute and noticed there's a "newer" type of Firestone Audio apparently - different from the images you posted above. Here's an example of one I'm talking...

Hi, I had a question on the Spitfire DAC (by Firestone Audio). I found a spitfire that I never seen before, and apparently its a new model? Or at least it is very different from the model I currently have. So my question is, is there anything special about this besides its face plate? Is...

Hey all, I'm looking for a solid set of Ipod Cables to plug into my Headphone Amp, and I'd like to get some advice. I'm currently using a Cute Beyond Headphone Amp by Firestone Audio - so I was searching for cables to use with the Cute and came across these cables which seem to look pretty...

bump?

Quote: Originally Posted by qusp ^^ agreed, but sometimes people are stubborn and IMO giving someone advice on a home amp when they post wanting advice on portable solutions is a waste of time and from the OP very annoying. in fact with the right opamp in the D10 I have been able to...

Thank you guys for the clarifications. I appreciate the explaination (and sorry if my questions are sometimes/somewhat noobish)

One more try Bump

Thanks for the feedback guys I still haven't settled on anything, looking around for one second hand but still not really sure what I should be buying. I only get to spend this kind of money once every 6 months to a year (or so says my wife) so I hope I nail one that I really end up...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a phono amp, but to be honest I don't have a lot of experience. I've done a bit of research online and I've found a couple that seem to be good bargains for close to the same price range. The first one is the Dino MK2 Phono (heres a link STONEAUDIO UK |...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I'm interested in purchasing a new "beginners" headphone amp. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD600's that I enjoy playing games on my PC with (as well as listening to MP3's) but Im not sure which amp to go with. I've looked around, and these two seemed to have...

I actually had a similar question and I didn't want to post a fresh topic so I figuerd I'd briefly high jack the thread I bought a Fubar III which I absolutely love... but my head sets are absolutely TERRIBLE. So today, I decided that it's about high time I buy myself a new set. I...

Thanks for the kind words I'll definitely pick up the PSU and see how I find the difference. I will let you know the result when I get the new item. I have a feeling it'll make a great difference but at zero risk I think I owe it to my music to give it a try Quote: Originally...

Just wanted to share my thoughts and experiences on a new product (or at least new to me) that I found and actually just purchased for myself (hard to give my opinion if I didn't try the product) Anyways, I picked up a Fubar III and I must say I'm highly impressed. First off, it was...
