Dust cover for headphones?
Hi there, It's been a while since I've posted, but I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the direction of a dust cover for my headphones. I have PS1k's and an Auralic Gemini, which is a headphones stand itself, so I've never bothered getting any sort of storage box for my cans, but...- TimSchirmer

Headroom Maxed Out Home screw size question.
Hello, I recently did some ground loop hum investigating on this amp and stripped several of the case screws. Does anyone more saavy than myself have any idea what size they are or where I can find a replacement? I couldn't find any info in the manuals. All help is much appreciated!- TimSchirmer

Is it possible to beat the Etymotic ER-4s under $400? Decision help.
I'm a bit undecided about which IEM to buy as I'm from the old school days when you would just buy an Etymotic ER4s and forget everything else. I do suspect that IEM tech has gotten much better. Here is what I'm considering so far. AKG K3003 or Senn IE800 (street price) 64 Audio U2 JH Audio...- TimSchirmer

Good DAP around $200 for someone who doesn't care about DSD
I'm looking for a good portable DAP around $200 new or used. I don't need to play DSD files. To me it's just marketing hype and the music selection just isn't really there. (I don't listen to chamber music and random access memories on repeat all day long) What would you guys recommend for...- TimSchirmer

Is anyone else totally into the "Only Lovers Left Alive" Soundtrack?
I am seriously loving the soundtracks from this movie. It's like very dark and melodic rock, a bit reminiscent of earlier Brian Jonestown Massacre. Jozef Van Wissem & SQÜRL are definetly new discoveries for me. Has anyone else heard this?- TimSchirmer

Anyone tried the Kingsound M-10 with Koss ESP-950's or Stax SR-404's?
Greetings, I am a Koss ESP-950 owner and was looking around for budget options to upgrade from the stock E/90 energizer. I was wondering if anyone here has had a chance to try the Kingsound M-10 amplifier. While I'm sure it's not as good as a KGSS, for $625, it is in the price range of most...- TimSchirmer

Wood headphones?
Okay, I know I haven't been on head-fi much lately, but this trend seems silly to me. I mean wouldn't it totally ruin the sound if you took an open-air headphonee and put CLOSED wooden panels on them? A lot of research goes into the acoustics of headphones, and it takes sophisticated test...- TimSchirmer

Getting a coaxial output from a mac mini?
I was thinking USB would be the only way to do it. I'd probably have to get one of those professional USB interfaces just to get a good digital output. Normally i'd just thow an M-audio card in there and be done with it, but it doesn't have a digital out already. Anyways, if anyone knows of a...- TimSchirmer

Anyone compared ESP-950's to recent model stax?
I've been curious about 950's for a while. Digging through old threads, it seems that many people don't like them. However, i have a slight hunch that it might be the amp that is at fault and not the headphones. I keep wondering how the 950's sound compared to SR-404's or Lambda Nova Signatures...- TimSchirmer

Ebay Alerts revisited...

Grado SR-200 Review
First off, to understand this review you should know where I am coming from. Basically, I do not believe that reproducing “live music” is related to hifi.
