Greetings....I've been out of the game for a while, but recently picked up an RSA SR71B on ebay for $480. I don't have any experience with balanced gear. I have a variety of amps, cans, iem's, etc. One of my scenarios is my trusty Senn HD 580's with clou red jaspis cable (I know...i'm showing my...

Hey Everyone, I've been away from this board for awhile and it seems that both of these Ray Samuels portable amps have created quite a stir. My current set up is an iRiver hp120, ety er4p w/4s converter cable and a 1st generation total bithead. Although I own a number of other cans & stuff...

I am the proud owner of an iRiver IHP 120. The whole lossy/lossless codec thing is a rather daunting aspect of this technology. One would think that Iriver would provide a nice front end to go with their players (like iTunes), but I guess that's simply not so. So, once out of the box, I...

I am a long-time headfier who hasn't been around much lately. I have several pairs of cans, amps, sources, etc. and about 1500 cd's. I am thinking of buying an iRiver iHP120. I really don't know the first thing about this technology. I went to hydrogen but it was all over my head. I am not a...

Well, it's been quite some time since I last posted. It seems that the old hangout is really thriving. It's great to see so much enthusiasm & activity around here! I've been trying to catch up on all the latest and I wanted to get some opinions. Over the past couple of years, I have gotten...

Greetings, It's been a while since I've visited head-fi...hope everyone's well. I'll be vacationing with the wife pretty soon and I need to find a splitter so that we can both wear our phones and watch DVD's on the plane out of the Vaio. I'll come out of the laptop with my kimber mini-mini...

I called Tara Labs today with a question regarding one of their cables (I have an application that requires some custom termination and I was getting some input). I ended up speaking to an engineer with an Australian accent named Gary. Very nice guy. At one point he asked what my source was. I...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a high quality RCA to XLR interconnect. It doesn't need to be longer than 1 meter. I'm going from my Rotel RC 945 CDP to a rack mounted pro-audio headphone amp. I'm using this for some final mixdown critical listening. Thanks.

Today, the mailman delivered my JMT Altoid Amp (Cmoy/Apheared)!!! I'm getting ready to hook it up to my HD 580's. I'll report back with my initial findings shortly.

Does anyone know exactly what is meant by the term "B Stock" with regard to Senn HD580's. I came across that term at an online audio site. They were about $50 cheaper than the non-B Stock. The name implies a "second" or lower quality product. It doesn't seem to mean refurbished, but definitely...

Greetings, A good friend of mine wanted me to get a little feedback on these interesting devices and thought that maybe some of you gamers, geeks, or otherwise might have some sort of experience/opinion. Chime in early and often...he's looking to get one of these for himself as a Christmas...

Another eBay find. Wheatfield HA-1, 4 mos old. Still a pretty good price , compared to $529 + shipping at headroom. Might be worth a stab...no reserve.

antique sound labs amp on ebay. been watching it for a week. last chance to make a strategic play. It's right here

I often see posts where everybody's throwing around technical data regarding amp or source output, usually in terms of mv or mw or whatever. As you can tell, I'm no engineer nor diy-er. Hell, I play the drums...that should explain it. Well anyhow, I was studying the specs of my Denon AVR 2500...

You may recall DesBen's internet find of V6's for $69 from here . I went ahead and gave them a try and wanted to give a quick report on the buying experience. Here goes: 1. Ordering was very easy, no screwy steps or confusing pages. This merchant utilizes the "Yahoo Store" interface 100%...

I found this on eBay. Might be fun if it doesn't go up in price too much. It's at $2.56 each right now. Maybe we can keep our "eye" on it and make a play. Those that are interested could then take advantage. Too bad no picture!

Well, I caved and bought a pair of V6's. Try as I might, I just could not resist hearing what all the fuss is about. So now I have HD580's, DT250-80's & V6's...not to mention porta-pro's which I bought before i was "into" cans. (not a bad choice at that). Ok, so while I'm waiting for my Clou...

Found this dutch auction on ebay for 5 pairs brand new senn hd 580's for $150 each http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1289034539

Greetings from Berserkley, CA. I am a brand new member and this is my first post. I'm happy that I stumbled onto this very cool community. I am looking to get some ideas for a commuting situation. I pretty much have my home situation in order with my Senn 580's. I'm looking for something to...
