    Help w/ a home studio listening setup for a production desk

      sorry for the late response…    they are 6.5mm / quarter-inch female ports. Here are some pics.   This is behind the mixing desk…       And this is on the opposite wall - note that it is just B & C ports. The 2 remaining walls each have a port like this that has 2 jacks.

    Help w/ a home studio listening setup for a production desk

    Hmmm… instead of the Scarlett 6i6, I can get their 18i20 which is rack mountable and on ebay for only $385… which seems like a good deal.   Although I wonder if I should get a Thunderbolt / Firewire interface model, like their Saffire, instead of USB 2. I have all mac computers so either would...

    Help w/ a home studio listening setup for a production desk

    thanks… I forgot to add, I also have a Bifrost which, while connected to a Vali as a headphone rig, barely gets used.

    Help w/ a home studio listening setup for a production desk

    When I purchased my home, one of the big draws was an audio room that was built by the previous owner, who was an audiophile of sorts. He left me a sweet production desk that has rack mounts and monitor stands, plus some other cool stuff on it. The room is also equipped with quarter-inch outlets...

    What Happened to Head-Fi? (Rant)

      we use short hand to discuss things for the sake of brevity & efficiency. If you want to participate in the discussion, the burden is on you to look up things you don't understand. That's one of the ways we weed out people who either don't have the attentions span or motivation to want to be...

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    is there a consensus on how these compare to the 500's? I am pretty happy w/ those, but wondering how much difference / improvement there would be in upgrading to the 560's. FWIW, I have jergpads, not sure if those are compatible w/ the 560's or not.

    Are Alpha Dogs the best / most recommended closed-back headphones under $1K?

    I returned them. Not that they were bad but I just felt like I didn't need that particular model. I did end up getting some Mad Dogs, PSB's, and k545's, all used and great condition. I think I prefer the PSB and AKG's. But the real story is I decided to get some HD 650's for a great price used...

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

      He has the right to do anything he wants - you are owed nothing. I think you need to re-evaluate your attitude & expectations.   I would assume that he has friends / connections to Sony, and he can HINT at things but not outright state them. Is this really so hard to comprehend? Besides -...

      Thanks for the rec - although I'm hoping to find one with a braided mesh outer sheath like the PS Audio Jewel. Anyone know of one like that in the realm of $20-25?

    Dr. Dre -- I'm Losing Billions to Fake Beats from China

    Whatever. Companies need to protect their assets, and for Beats their brand is their greatest asset, so what do you expect. Dre was one of the original people to go after Napster and now he's going after bootleggers. Even if they don't make money from this, it's important for them to send a...

    The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

      Hmm. I'm tempted to get this - anyone want to talk me out of it? I'm not really a believer in cables improving sound, but all the stuff I have read seems to concern interconnects, not the actual power cable. Would there be any kind of performance improvement with this, even if it's not...
