    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...

    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!

    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...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    ebay engrish

    I came across some funny engrish while perusing ebay for a new amp. These EL84 produce a very nice mid range, sparkling highs and solid bottom end. Plug this in and play that hot creamy Norah Jones, will bring yourself to heaven. Don't miss you chance ...... Bid it now !!!!! From...

    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...

    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...

    My new babies (lizards, not headphones!)

    I havent named her yet, but she's a chinese water dragon and loves to dive into her little pool. I've got her in a 30 gallon setup right now, but plan to put her in a 72gal after I sell a few things. Adopted this guy from a friend who works at petco. Named him Darwin because he survived...

    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...

    Just what is this nonsense? http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ I really do hope EAC is not extinct. Unless of course something better comes along.

    UPS Screwing me yet again

    Well, A few weeks ago I sent out my music hall MMF-1 which i sold in order to pay for books. Thing is, it arrived in more pieces than I sent it in. I went through the whole claim process and then I got a phone call saying that all claims were denied because i used "insufficient packaging" I...

    Ebay Alerts revisited...

    I know this has been discussed before, but with head-fi's ever increasing membership (and their postcounts) I feel that this issue should be addressed again. How do other members of these boards feel about ebay alerts? Do you think they should be banned? Or do you think they should be...

    Modded Art Di/O vs. Scott Nixon DACkit?

    Has anyone had a chance to compare both of these? Do any experts have opinions on the circuit designs of both? I'm considering getting a new D/A for the computer and am interested in hearing opinions.

    A tribute to lurkers

    I just wanted to thank everyone at head-fi who has lurked around and actually taken the time to learn about this hobby and the basics of headphoning before posting here. I appreciate that you actually bother to make your first thread a useful one rather than adding to the incessant "Best...

    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. For me, hifi is about reproducing the information on a recording as accurately as possible. I've owned my SR-200's since september now...

    Problems with audiophile 2496 drivers

    Does anyone know if there are any competent drivers for this sound card online? I have installed the one on M-Audio's web site with no success. It doesn't make a directory for itself so I make one in program files, but still nothing. I install it and the card still does not work. I...
