I'm looking into a custom IEM and am eagerly researching the JH Audio 13/16s.  I can only afford one and would like to buy the one that would be most similar to the Sennheiser 650HD in sound signature.   I love my 650s but don't want to take them abroad with me.  They're too large and I want...

So I was just given a "broken" Dual 721. I just had it fixed for 40 USD. Now I need a new cartidge. So what's a good one around 50 USD? Grado? Ortofon?

So I just got a pair of TF 10s, today... I've listened to them through my Corda Move (source = Blackberry) and then through my WA6 via the sources listed in my signature. Compared to my 580s the TF 10s sound bloated as hell (even my Promedias have more crisp highs). I mean, the top end...

Is it possible to use the USB port on my BB Curve 83xx to bypass the internal DAC and go straight to the Corda's DAC via a USB2.0 (with mini-B converter) to mini-B connection? Or is there another way to accomplish USB audio output on the Blackberry?

So I know CI Audio makes the VRX-1 for their DAC... but they cost 150.00 USD. If I can get some for less, I would like to go that route. If I can't buy cheaper ones, is there anyone who can make some of good quality for less? Thanks.

So I am looking at buying some new speakers to replace my 10 year-old (but still kicking ass) Klipsch 4.1 ProMedias. I am really interested in doing so to make use of the balanced output of my CI Audio DAC. So a couple of questions: 1) How significant is the difference b/w unbalanced and...

Anyone know anything about this tube? I just got it for 6.00 bucks, NOS.

Does anyone else do this/ has anyone else tried it? Currently I am using my WA 6 as a pre-amp to my Klipsch Promedia 4.1s. Ha! I've got a Sony 5-disc CDP to a CI Audio VDA-2+VAC-1 to the Woo to the Klispch. I've got to say I really like it. Does anyone else do this or something like it, using...

Hey guys, I want to get around using my PC as a source. Running the PC is noisy and it's not bit-perfect (Running Foobar SSRC through Creative ASIO output). Mainly it is noisy. So I would like to get a transport. I don't want to spend a lot, right off, as I already have a really nice DAC...

I've noticed that the new DM remasters have a PCM 2.0 track. So will this track play through a Channel Islands VDA-2? I know the VDA-2 is not a Dolby Decoder but it will handle the PCM like any good DAC. Does anyone have any of the remasters and are you running it through a PCM-exclusive DAC...

Alright, what do you guys think? I'd like to get my audio outside of my computer because of the noise of the computer when running and wanting to try out a component dedicated to playing CDs. What I am looking into is buying a CDP or universal player for playing mainly CDs. I think i've got...

Hey folks, Just got a Woo WA6 last month and have already burned it in for about 200-300 hours. It's got the Sovtek rectifier and RCA 6de7s. I just noticed last night that I am getting a buzzing sound that I can hear only when the music is not playing. I assume it is still there when music is...

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a Klipsch Promedia 4.1 cable (3.5 mm) to connect to a Channel Islands VDA-2 output (standard RCA)?

I can't tell the difference in sound between my sound card alone and my full setup (in signature).. I am curious. Do I have this stuff setup correctly? I am not downing any of the equipment I have and would first think myself doing something incorrectly before blaming the equipment. I like...

Just got the i/o hub for my Audigy 2 ZS. I'm running my 360 optical into the Audigy hub and I am getting a delay in the sound playback. For example, if I press a button, instead of the sound effect kicking in instantly, it take about half a second to play. Anyone have any suggestions to...

Anyone have anything interesting they'll be doing for the Halo 3 release? For instance, parties, camping in line, calling in "sick" (for the rest of the week), etc.? If you've got something interesting post it. I'll be hanging out with some friends in line waiting for the release (fairly...

Okay, This thread is for those of us who pre-ordered the Orange Box for the PC believing we would get to play the TF2 beta on Monday, as promised. As of now, it is 1.05 am CST and I'm still not seeing a beta available. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I need 3 cables for a Channel Islands VDA-2 to run to my MOVE. One optical for XBOX360/Comp to DAC One coaxial for Computer to DAC One RCA to Mini for DAC to MOVE I cannot invest a lot at the moment. Plus I plan on upgrading the amp sometime soon to something like a Woo solution. So far...

Hey folks, I am probably going to pull the trigger on a CI VDA-2 here pretty soon and I would like to get an educated guess on what kind of differences I can expect from the upgraded DAC compared to my current setup. Right now the chain will work like: Foobar PCM audio --> VDA-2 --> Corda...

Hi all, I am new to this game and my wallet is aching to be bled dry. As of now I am using my comp as source with PCM lossless wav files via EAC. This goes to the MOVE dac/amp combo and then to my HD580s with 650 cable. So on to my question... How much of a quality sound difference will I...

Hi folks, I just got my Meier Move a few days ago and am already looking into upgrading (thanks to all those great people posting reviews about the little gem). Right now, my source is my computer's USB (EAC ripped wav files, lossless PCM), my DAC and amp are the Move, and my cans are Senn...

Hello again, Curious. I hear "clipping" (kind of like static when the driver is stressed?) on some tunes with my 580s and 06 TBH. I am running from my computer using Winamp. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Does this mean that I need a better amp? or DAC? Thanks again for the help.

Hello all, Basically my question is in the title. Do you guys think the TBH will drive either the 580s or the 770-250 ohm version adequately? If not, I've got a Audigy ZS2 soundcard, so do you think I could get just a better amp instead? Recommendations? Thanks folks. BTW, I will be...

I just recieved my HD 555s and the TBH. I am comparing them to my previous Sennheiser eH 250s. My source is my computer which I run through a 2006 TBH. My 250s have a drastic amount more bass while the HD 555s dont have nearly as much warmth (?). I may be a bit of a basshead. So are these...
