Hello! Everybody excited about the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? This thread is for organizing carpooling, and any social meet ups and fun before or after the "fest." I for one am not filthy rich, nor super familiar with Denver, but I'd love to meet some new people/ put faces to names, and it...

If I Knew Then What I Know Now... Table of Contents In the time I've spend surfing around Head-Fi and the 'net, I've run across some interesting opinions, tips, links, "If I knew then what I know now" and insight. I spent so much time on research that I decided I just had to compile and share...

I got into contact with somebody willing to give me their FiiO E10, because they don't want to spend the time or hassle to fix it. I believe it can be. The reported issue was that the right channel started to "crackle," then died alltogether. He bought the E10 for christmas, so I don't think he...

If you wanted to hear the difference that occurs when using a high-impedance headphone, you can easily and cheaply modify your current headphone by adding a resistor to your cord (or an extension cord, so you can A/B the results). I'm new at this DIY stuff, so bear with the kid who did get to...

Here's a gentleman crafting his own tube amps. Yes, he's french, yes, he works in his sport coat, and yes, I want to be like him. I don't think you'd buy all that equipment on just a hobby lark, but I still think this is what DIYers want to grow up to be, lol. Now I can't assume this...

Here's an initial playlist selection I'll use as standard to compare headphones. I also use http://www.burninwave.com/ files (5 mins pink noise, 20 second 20-20000 freq sweep, 51 seconds silence, all repeated 5 hours a day when I'm not using the headphones otherwise ) to burn in my cans, as...

I have a 5G iPod Video (30GB) which has been serving me very well since it was released years ago (and it still holds a decent charge, too). Problem is that in the last two weeks or so a static pop has appeared. Seems to happen most with treble tones and any time the song decibels start to...

I ordered a pair of AD700s from Electronics Expo about two and a half weeks ago, but I got the A700 instead . I tried to exchange them, but they sent me the (exact same unit) A700 back! So I thought I'd try to sell them instead of returning them, because my trust in their attention span is...

This is a question of ethics... And also my first post (moths in my wallet, lol) I just tried jumping into my first high-end headphone, the Audio Technica AD700. Seems very well suited to my tastes, and I was happy to get one. The box arrived today, but instead I got the closed A700 - which...
