I just received my OPPO BDP-83 today. It is really a well thought out player. Even though it is really more of home theater equipment it really has a lot of features for to make 2 channel audiophiles happy, extra space around the 2 channel RCA outputs, PCM conversion, pure audio mode which turns...

Anybody have any advice for removing a screw when the head has broken off? I had the head of a screw break off when it was about 95% of the way into a hammond case.

Has any body ever tried this amp or know anything about it? I searched the forums but couldn't find any thing about it. Link Link2 I figured $100 bucks for an assembled board I might give it a try.

I am trying to rip a CD to an image(CUE + WAVE file) with EAC. However, right after it gets done deteching the pre-track gaps an error box pops up saying: Unhandled exception at Gaps.2768-> INDEX-RANGE There is an Ok button in the box and when i click on it EAC closes. The EAC version...

My girlfriend has a pair of er6i's and the plastic insert in the foam tips has come loose from the foam. What is the best glue to fix this? Would cyanoacrylate work or would that melt the foam?

Has anyone here ever heard the Stax SR40s and what did you think of them? I saw a used pair w/SRD4 adapter really cheap in a Hi-fi shop downtown. I was thinking about buying them but then I realized I didn't have anything decent to power them with. Should i go back and buy them and a decent amp...

I was watching TV last night and I saw a commercial for "First Five in California" and low and behold one of the kids in it was wearing Grados. Well I just about flipped; my housemates who didn’t get it at all just assumed I was being weird again. Any other California residents here that have...

I am planing on building a Pimeta soon and i wanted to know how big of hookup wire the pads on the pimeta board (for inputs, outputs, switch, and power) will accept.

So I went to put on my Senns this morning and as i pick them up a spider crawls out of one of the cups! Its not that I’m afraid of spiders, it's just that I don't like the idea that the spider might have crawled out into my ear instead.

I'm interested in the SDS Lab's headphone amp but there wasn't allot of info about it on the boards when I searched. IMEP said the parts were slightly less than $200 in his post; is this a typical cost of the SDS? Also how does the SDS Lab's amp sound compared to other diy amps such as the...
