Hi, so I am really close to finding my next pair of headphones,   I have the DT1350 and the K172 as my kicking around headphones for isolation when I need it. They come soo close to perfect for my usage.   What I really want in my next pair of headphones is isolation and comfort. Now, as you...

I have a pair of powered monitors and a couple cans at the moment.   Dilemma: I bought an e-mu 0404 and it doesn't have enough power to drive my headphones.   I have the hd600 and dt880/600 - the e-mu sounds great but you can tell it is seriously lacking power for these cans.      ...

  As by JRG1990's suggestion I got the prodipe monitors (pronounced pro'deep') and they are wonderful. I decided on the ribbon model as it is the newest model and promises improvements to the detail and sound.   In short the speakers sound very balanced and have great bass. I use it in a...

I just watched a Sennheiser Orpheus sell on Audiogon for $32.5k that's a lot of money! It was gone in about 20 minutes this morning. Crazy.          

I am lusting after the Arcam FMJ CD-37 but it is way out of my price range.   I have checked most other major brands and there doesn't seem to be much else out there. I really like warmth and punch and lack of digital-ness.   Basically it is down to specialty products or ones that I...

Looking for audiophiles in the Jacksonville area to meet up with. I have a great little system. We can hang out, talk and listen to music.   Thanks, Sam

I have recently downsized my speaker setup because quite frankly I could not afford it - see my classifieds.    I now have a pair of zu speakers and hd600 and Peachtree Audio Nova.     Now my question, What level of phone is appropriate for my Nova? Can I run a Beyer T1 or LCD-2 out...

Looking for something that makes me fall in love. I am thinking something like "Jaimee Paul - At Last" but with more music and more emotion. This will be, with any luck, a go to list for this type of recording.   Thanks

I was wondering about a CDP that exceeds the performance of the Rega Saturn for the price?   I know of one head-fier that claims the Esound Platinum Reference is better for the price. Is it better? More important than my own research, I refer you to my original question. I would be...

Have at it folks. Previous discussions I have read seemed to nominate the HD600.   Thanks, Sam

I am looking for a pair of headphones and amp. Having come sooo close to completing and tweaking my speaker setup I am crushed that I cannot bring it with me to college (no space). Thus instead of purchasing my final room treatment/tweaks I will be purchasing an enjoyable headphone setup for my...

I am looking in the range of $1.3k and what high-end/reference quality.   Who can deliver. I am primarialy looking at a standalone DAC but a CDP is not off limits - I am looking for bang for the buck.   Thanks, Sam-fi

Since getting my audio mirror DAC d1 I have become a NOS Dac fan but I want to upgrade to a reference quality NOS dac. I was wondering about these two that fit my price range.    I have never run tubes in my system but I love my current audio mirror so I am considering it.   What do you...

I was wondering if there was anyone in Jax that owns a pair of HD800s I could demo?

Is there any service out there or in the works for that matter that will stream music to my pc in a lossless format? This has always been a bit of a wet dream for me.    To add a layer to discussion how much would you pay for it?

I Googled this topic and couldn't find a thing.   I have heard the advantages of balanced headphones and had the scientific reason spouted at me. What is the advantage to using balanced in your speaker/amp setup?   I am a curious mind: the more detailed response the better.

So here is my set up: On the computer side it is Windows 7 that I use to output via s/pdif to my dac. My dac is the grace m902. Alright so here is the deal. I have no doubt windows is messing with my sound. Everything that is output to my DAC is at 24/96 regardless of what the sample rate...

I would like some opinions, my set-up includes an NAD C326BEE and what I think will be a Cambridge Audio DACmagic and I was wondering if anyone thought that the Sierra would be a good match for that. Perhaps I should go with the Paradigm I hear that NAD goes very well with Paradigm. The Studio...

I am still very new to these forums and to headphones so give me a break. My taste in music is Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop/Rap, Indie (Indie these days is becoming increasingly electronic). Outside of those primary Genres that are probably 80% of my listening I also enjoy Classic Rock (Yes, Led...

[edit] moved to proper location. Admin delete!

Alright so here is the deal, on Ebay/Audiogon I have been able to track down a few TTs that I think would work for me and my setup here. The first least expensive thing I am almost springing for is a Realistic Lab-2200 for $60. The next one that I could go for is a Acoustic Research model TA...

I am having major trouble playing flac files on my computer I need someone to set me strait. I have recently ripped a bunch of my cds to flac files and now I can't get my computer to play them. I use Quintessential Music Player which I am pretty sure supports flac files but my computer can't...

Ok, as a fairly new member of Head-fi I have spent some hours over the last few months trying to devise a setup for myself. To put it bluntly I am not one to go out and buy the first thing I see, I would like to create myself a setup and keep it. Not have to tweak it or worry about it. I would...
