Hey head-fi,   I can't remember the last time I created a thread, must've been ages ago, but I'll get right down to it.   I've been enjoying my setup for quite a while now: Fubar II Dac --> Little Dot I+ Amp --> AKG K501. However I've been thinking lately of an upgrade, but I don't...

Hey head-fiers, This Sunday, my local township is having it's biannual thrift sale selling all kinds of "junk" and such. I actually went last year but only arrived when they were finishing up and remembered seeing a lot of old hi-fi stuff. So my question is, how do I know what I should...

Hey fellow incredibly knowledgeable head-fiers I'm back for more advice and help, this time on speaker-fi. I'll try keep this as short and concise as I can so that hopefully more people will read this and provide insight. After being in the headphone game for over a year now, I've decided...

Hey Head-fi, Firstly I just want to say how great this forum is. Just last month I posted a thread asking for recommendations for a keyboard to use with my laptop. I finally followed the advice of many head-fiers of getting an apple keyboard and I can say I am truly pleased with it I never...

Hey guys, I'm currently shopping for a fairly cheap slim, usb keyboard that I can use with my laptop at home. Does anyone have any suggestions? The width should be about 16cm MAX whereas length is more flexible. I've done some searches on ebay and have only come up with random keyboards...

Hey guys, I'm currently shopping for a slim, usb keyboard that I can use with my laptop at home. Does anyone have any suggestions? The width should be about 16cm MAX whereas length is more flexible. I've done some searches on ebay and have only come up with random keyboards that are too...

Is it just me or has the sponsor list/advertisement column moved to the right side of head-fi? It used to be on the left, right? Or is this something that you're able to modify yourself?(doubt it) Everything seems very wonky at the moment, but I'll probably get used to it soon enough...

I was browsing through the Forums home and realized that it is AMB's birthday today! I don't know AMB personally but he was kind enough to help me troubleshoot my first mini3 amp and I'm sure various head-fiers would like to thank him wish him and the best on this special day So there you...

Ok guys, I know that many head-fiers will chime in and flame my setup due to all the things I'm doing wrong but get this: My listening setup is as follows: 256kbs-->laptop headphone jack-->LDI+-->DT770 2005 - So 256kbs, man it's not even 320kbs! let alone FLAC or apple losses or...

Hey head-fiers, I've searched around for answers to my basic question but everyone seems to already know what they're talking about Basically, what are the advantages of having coaxial and digital inputs besides the usual USB-in for a DAC? What sources have coaxial and digital outputs...

Hey guys, Just wondering, I'm located in Australia and if I purchase headphones from Europe, will I have to pay for any customs/tax charges? From what I understand the only time people pay for customs/tax charges is when they import stuff INTO Europe. Also I know that Australia customs...

Hey guys, I was trying to find a thread to post this question but I couldn't seem to find an appropriate one. Well this is my question: Is it possible to install LEDs under tubes of commercial amps like my LDI+? Or am I better off not tinkering around with it and wait till I build my own...

Hey guys, So ever since I've been on head-fi, I've always had the desire to own a "top-end" headphone, probably to finally make me feel that I've got one of the best so that upgraditis will no longer bother me. By "top-end", I don't mean the really top-class headphones such has the PS-1000...

Hey guys, So I've been into headphones for a while but I was thinking of trying out a really basic budget speaker setup. I was thinking of the Logitech X540: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/sp...s/234&cl=us,en My questions are: Are these quite decent for a beginners setup? How do I...

Hey guys, My dad is interested in investing in a speaker setup for the house but I have no knowledge or experience with speakers. I don't even know where to start looking. Can anyone suggest what I can take a look at? Budget is ~$5000USD Music will probably be mostly classical. Cheers

Hey guys, i have a quick question regarding listening setups and didn't know the most suitable place to post it. My setup is the usual: CD player => Amp => Headphones I'm just wondering if the setting of the volumes of my CD player and Amp will have any effects on the efficiency or...

Hey guys, I've been on head-fi for only a couple of months now and I've become quite interested in all the absolutely AMAZING DIY builds that people have done. I have always been interested in electronics but have never gone as far as understanding how it all works or knowing the different...

Hey guys, I've realised that there's quite a large market for ipod LODs with prices ranging from $30 to even $100 or so. My question is, is there a large difference between the different grades and quality of different LODs performance wise? Like would there be an significant audible...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a cheap portable amp ~$100AUD. Is a CMOY the best i can do? I currently own a fiio E3. Can someone please comment on this amp that i found on ebay? Like on the specifications etc because i don't know what's good or not. PORTABLE HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER -...

Hey all, I was thinking about purchasing a new pair of headphones. Comfort is a big factor for me. I love my AD500's comfort but i need a closed headphone if i'm able to use it for commuting or the library. Furthermore, even though i do like bass, great mids and highs really do it for me...

Hey all, i have pretty much no experience in terms of amps and would like to get some advice concerning the Little Dot amps. My limited audio equipment includes the AD500, es7, rp-htx7, JVC marshmallows and a Fiio amp. My main source is my Samsung T10 DAP. I've recently discovered little...

As the title implies, what's the difference? If there is a difference, is it large or significant? Also, does anyone have experience with these portable amps and would recommend them? Last question, does anyone else find the names of the little dot amps confusing? Because i certainly do...
