Hey folks. I wanted to open my Lyr 3 and add in a multibit card that I own. I have a Jotunheim and I can get that open pretty easy by simply loosening the hex screw on the volume knob and removing it. However, my Lyr 3 has no screw on the knob so I have no idea how to get it off. Schiit...

Hello all, I just bought about 10 foot of bulk wireworld cable off Ebay.  Its a four wire cable that I will use for a four pin xlr cable to replace my Audio GD ACSS cables.  My problem is that the cable has a red wire, a white wire, and two black wires.  I don't want to cross things up so how do...

http://dhost.info/mhdtlab/havana balanced.htm   I am admittedly not a huge fan of the single ended version of this DAC.  But it does have a lot of fans here so here you go.  (I don't know if this old news or not).   A friend of mine who loves his single ended Havana plans on buying this...

I was going to order the Woo Audio 2 but then I saw this beauty. I couldn't find any impressions threads though so I'm assuming that it has not been available that long.

Does the design allow for such an implementation? The reason why I ask is that I recently bought a Wyred 4 Sound ST Preamp which I received today and it is easily the most transparent and best sounding volume control device I have ever heard. It is currently hooked up to my speaker set up but I...

I was at a friends house the other day and I couldn't help but notice how much his VMPS Tower II se speakers sounded like my HD650s. I mean it was dead on, so dead on that I am considering getting the newer version of these speakers, the RM2s. Has anyone had a experience like this? I...

Does anyone know? I just got my first listen of this thing today and it is incredible. Easily the best source I have heard when paired with either of my DACS. And this is coming from someone who didn't think a transport would make this huge of a difference. Its just ones and zeros is what I...

Anybody have any experience with this transport? Vanguard CDM12 Pro

I loaned my third pair (yes third pair, I sold the first two) of Goldring DR-150s to a friend of mine sometime in October 08’. In the interim I bought the Sennheiser HD650 and sold the HD580 and purchased a new dac and amp. Long story short, I got the cans back this past weekend. I plugged...

The best mix of price, reliability etc. Thanks

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair. The problem is that I just bought a pair of AKG K340s from a fellow headfier and I got back my pair of Goldring DR-150s from a buddy of mine (I forgot how awesome they sound). Something has to give because I can barely divide time between 3...

Quick question. I was looking at buying the D5000s but because of the opamps I have put in my amp I have to keep it on gain 10. So..., how do the Denons behave with high gain amps?

For my next DAC. Has anyone heard much about it. I've googled a ton and everyone says its a great DAC. Its sold out right now but they have a wait queue. Basically I want to know if anyone has had a bad experience with one. The Brigatta Right now the other contenders; Stello DA100...

Has anyone heard one of these? I am in the market for a new DAC and right now I am down to either a Stello DA 100 or a Paradisea 3. However the Buffalo DAC sounds intriguing. Rockhopper is supposed to start prebuilding them. Buffalo DAC

I was looking at getting either a Constantine or Paridisea DAC but I don't have a clue where to order one. I read somewhere that they sold DACs on Ebay but I have had no luck finding them. Thanks.

I'm just curious because I am loving mine right now. The K-501 with lots of bass, too good to be true. The HD650 and the K-701 sound remarkable as well. This thing has me itching to upgrade my DAC.

Has anyone done this before? I just want to know how difficult it was before I start myself. Thanks.

I have a smaller head and the elastics on my phones are just too weak. I constantly have to readjust them which is a problem I don't have with my k501. So how much do new elastics generally cost and how hard are they to replace? Thanks.

Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium Headphones: Electronics That is if they are your cup of tea. Even if they aren't thats a solid price.

Is it possible to order a new pair of K-501 pads from AKG? I have only had mine for about 4 months and are already misshapen and fuzzy looking. I have heard that the K-601 pads don't have that silly 3-d form factor that the K-701 pads have so they might be what I get if I can't find a direct...

CAVEAT:If the maker of your amp gives you specific instructions for switching headphones then follow them, duh . My question is just an attempt to get at the technical reasons for doing this one way or another. I have searched this forum and the web for a while looking for a definitive way...

I'm starting to look for a good solid state amp but I want to make sure it can deliver alot of current for my AKG k-501s and whatever other current hungry cans I buy in the future. What should I be looking for tech spec wise? Or should I just concern myself with watts per channel and forget the...

NEW AKG K240MKII Semi-Open Headphone for Studio Monitor - eBay (item 250251168385 end time May-29-08 20:13:48 PDT) I remember seeing pictures of AKGs revised headphone lineup but this is the first one I have seen for sale in the US. Has anybody heard these yet? Are they basically the same as...

Anybody heard both? What genres of music do each excel at?

Has anyone heard both of these? Couldn't find a single post comparing the two on the message board. I know both units have alot of owners. I am leaning toward the TC-7510 mainly because it has two sets of analog outputs. Plus it looks cool
