Do you think signatures should be limited to, say 3 lines or less? Am I the only one who is annoyed by seeing brightly colored, half page long signatures? I like having signatures on to see useful info, but it is often too much ... edit: For clarification, I said 3 only as an example...

Also sports I2S, but uses Stello's proprietary connector instead of the more common RJ45 jacks. Just reviewed in 6moons audio reviews: April Music U2. Unfortunately, no direct comparison with the likes of Bel Canto or Empirical Audio. Picture jacked from hifi500.com

I can't believe the last music thread with Wagner in the title is well over a year old. Absolutely disgraceful! I've had von Karajan's cycle in my collection for a long time, but never listened through it because of its epic length - I could barely keep my headphones on long enough to listen...

Can't really say what changes the APSv3 made since I never heard this phone with the original cable, which was not in good condition when I bought the phones. I'm really happy with Alex's work. It feels good to have these old phones recabled and "recertified" by someone who has a lot...

I'm need a decent USB DAC and amp to use with my computer and RS1. Prefer size to be as small as possible (no bigger than a Fubar). Absolute sound quality is not an issue, but I'd like to get the most out of $200 (or less ). There seems to be lots of choices. I'm looking at Govibe Petite and...

I am using a EAR 834L preamp which has an Alps Blue pot inside. The pot seems to have tracking problems. Namely, the left channel cuts out once in a while and I have to play around with the volume knob to get sound back. I noticed that it is possible to push the volume knob in (about 1mm into...

Almost all non-audiophile cables are folded like this. I really hate those nasty bends. Is there an easy way to straighten them out, or is this a hopeless cause?

I'm thinking of getting a HD280 for travelling. However, the stock earpads do not look to comfortable compared to HD650 earpads. Has anyone tried using HD650 earpads on HD280?

Some time ago, I found a store selling "enhanced" Shure foam. It was also yellow, but was supposed to be made of some kind of celluloid and be more durable. However, I cannot find the website anymore. Does anyone know where it is sold?

Does anyone know wires (what color wires) should go to which pins?

I want to buy some E500s, but ... I'd prefer a non-PTH version because it would be: 1. cheaper 2. better sounding (one less component in path) 3. more convinient (dont need the control thing)

First pair I bought from Todd last summer, and has been recently been upgraded to Blue Dragon status by Drew of Moon-Audio. However, a challenger has appeared (or will soon). Which one will win

I sent my W5000s in for repair because of rattling issue. Now they are back with me, rattling issue is fixed; but two nicks have appeared on the right earcup. Trying to find a digicam to get pictures. Frustrating.

Other headphones include DT880, K701, HD650, HD600, RS1, HP1, HP2, HE60, Omega, W5000, L3000, etc.. edit for clarification: Price is not an issue. Only consider whether K1000s are headphones for the purposes of comparing to other headphones.

1. Is $100 a good price on these headphones? 2. Do they need to be modded to sound good? How much does it cost to mod them? 3. How many different K340s are there? Which ones are better? 4. Would RKV be a good match? I have a chance to try these, but want to know what I'm getting into.

I'm thinking of painting the grilles black, to match the rest of K1000s. The question is, which paint would work well? I'm thinking of automotive paint in spray cans. edit: Also, red might be an option, for a two-tone look. Anyone with photoshop skills want to simulate the results?

The 6moons K1000 recabling review mentions that the grilles can adversely affect the sound. I think also there is at least one user here whose K1000 is without grilles. My questions are: 1. Is it safe? 2. Would touching the front (diaphragm) lightly be disasterous? In particular, the...

Thanks Drew for the wonderful work These should be on the way back to me now.

How are you guys connecting single-ended RCA amps into Lavry? What adapter is best? How should the adapter be wired?

I happened onto this page: http://www.hifi500.com/product/da100.htm Seems like this DAC was just introduced this month. Anyone want to try?

I know I'm not the only one whose ATH-W5000 have rattling when playing test tones. So, I thought I'd start this thread to discuss it. I expected that Audio-Technica fixed this issue in their new generation of wooden headphones. I bought my pair from PriceJapan. They charge shipping both ways...

I need something flexible and with small plugs. Ergonomically, I'm looking for something like this. Of course, sound is important too.

I need to speak with Trevor, but couldn't reach him via phone or email for the last two months. If you can help- know where he is or know another way to reach him, please PM me. Apparently, his phone number is now disconnected, and I have not been able to reach him by snail-mail or e-mail. If...

Since I haven't seen any threads about this, I'm starting one now Surely, there are some other chess fans following this tournament! What a dominating performance by Topalov! I wanted Anand to win, but Topalov is just unstoppable this tournament. As a chess fan, my biggest hope is that...
