I was just wondering if there were any forums or websites that are like a "Head-Fi" for photograph/turntable items. My dad is quite the vinyl freak (he has a lot of vinyl records and stuff), and he also has a large collection of vintage turntables. He often asks me to look for the value of...

I know this isn't the right forum, but the layout of the dpreview.com forums are just terrible. I was just thinking of buying a digital camera. I want to take really good pictures, and also have a lot of features, as I plan to make digital photography one of my hobbies in the future...

I have to build an electromagnet for project.. the only restrictions on it is that it must pick up a lot of quarters.. and it uses a supplied 12V DC power source. I was wondering how would I go to do this? I'm thinking about using just the regular coiled wire method.. with a few other...

I am looking to buy an iHP-120.. where's the cheapest place I can get one ? I would prefer free shipping (to the US).. I live close to the border. But more preferably, I would like to have it shipped, but don't want to pay over $600 CDN for it... Any ideas? Thanks, Kelv

To all the computer geeks out there: How would I go about sharing all my files so I can access them all remotely (on both my drives) through FTP (with password of course)? Sorry for posting at this site, but I don't know where better to go :P Also.. I have a dynamic IP address (changes...

I know.. there's a similar thread.. but... I'm looking for a portable AM radio.... requirements: -very small :P -doesn't have to sound very good -good reception (!) -okay battery life (not too big a concern) I just need it to listen to the hockey games when I'm out and about.

Plan to do some training for tennis.. haha Stuff like serves.. and just playing against the wall.. stuff like that. I was thinking.. it wouldn't suck so much if I had some music.. I was thinking of getting Shure E2s and some sort of HD player.. small enough.. and could fit into some...

After having been here for almost a year and a half... I think I'm gonna get etys.... or considering it more like. 1. So a few questions: are they really high maintenance? 2. Do I have to clean them (and my ears) every week or something (I read the hydrogen peroxide post a few down)...

I'm planning to hook up my computer to a receiver and then out to a few speakers.. (maybe 2 or 3... and maybe later upgrade to 5+?) So I was wondering how would I go about doing this, getting relatively good sound for under $300? (I know, on a budget :P) Any advice would be nice, thanks in...

I was just wondering, where would I go to get a MD drive for my computer, like in those VAIO computers by Sony.. Thanks, K

http://www.audiocubes.com/product_in...baf83f9cd429db Looks like it's available now.. Price seems a bit steep though ($489US) [edits: I don't like bb code....]

I was thinking about getting the one with all the freebies at www.teamdigital.net .. the DR480H ... same as DR7 just with more accessories.. comes with a USB link thingy.. and quite a few other accessories.. so anyways. I was thinking of either getting the Sharp DR7 bundle, or the...

I just finished my META (well.. except for punching holes in the end panel.. I'm afraid I'll screw up cause I can't get another one). I noticed that even at full volume (gain is set to 11 inner, ~402 outer), it still can't go louder than my slimX's headphone out. Is it supposed to be like...

If I strip wire with a knife.. and accidentally cut a few of the threads of wire inside... is it okay? (I'm using the hookup wire in my META) It won't result in loss of audio signals or anything.. will it?

http://www.audiocubes.com/product_in...dee75c8d7def55 Hmm.. what do you guys think? I would imagine the new iRiver to be rid of that horrid hiss.. and have better features (such as chinese support), VBR.. and probably better navigation (knowing iRiver).. The Sony has ATRAC though...

Hmm.. the audio jack I ordered for my META project has 5 leads.... Which ones do I use for where? I know one must be ground, and two must be the left and right channels... ahhhh.. too confusing.. Part number CP-3535 ND at digikey... Thanks in advance, and excuse the newbieness

I was just wondering, are there any good Nimh 9v batteries that are tried and recommended out there? (also chargers would be nice :P) I'll be using a pair of them, for my to be built META that will be using either a dual AD8610, dual AD823, or single AD8620.. Also, which ones draw the...

Yep, almost total newbie to this.. well my dad taught me how to solder since I was around 8 so.. and he IS a technician.. that also loves audio :P I use a SlimX + eggos /KSC35.. or my computer attached to my bookshelf system.. and can probably say an amp wouldnt' benefit me too much.. (I...

http://home.tiscalinet.ch/coolrythms/ Well.. here's the iRiver brochure (seems official) with all their new products. What do you all think? (I'm most interested with the new 500.. I'm REALLY happy with all the features of my 350... but honestly.. the hiss is really starting to piss me...

I'm currently looking for a DAC (usb -> rca preferably) to connect to a 2 channel amp... and later to heapdhones or bookshelf speakers =] Any suggestions? (Xitel seems tempting... but from what I hear it's lacking in bass?) I generally listen to audio CDs on my computer... and self-ripped...

If a headphone starts to crack (or buzz) at high volumes.. is it the headphone's fault, or the source? [oh and if source... would using higher/lower impedance phones help at all? because the music sounds fine at lower volumes]

I have an iRivier SlimX-350 (well.. just sent it back.. they're sending me a new one, it started skipping) Had it for almost a year now, and was just wondering - would it sound better with a portable amp? (I was thinking about getting the Super Mini V5 w/ booster connector + digital volume)...

I was just thinking about buying this MD.. as my starter unit into the world of MD. I was just wondering how would one go about to record on this unit? I have mainly CDs and 320k/192k lame vbr's (both of which I play on my computer), and a slimX portable. How would I record using the...

Anyone know any good desktop speakers for the computer? I plan to spend no more than $100 on them, and I'd like a two speaker set, with headphone output, and preferably a sub. Thanks in advance.

I need a good carrying case for the iRiver SlimX that can clip on to my belt, and is generally small - any ideas? Or, is it possible to just purchase a clip with adhesives and trust that it won't fall off? Thanks in advance, (By the way, the SlimX rocks... 2 things though, the hiss...
