So we have member meets in South Florida and Central Florida, but what about North Florida (Jacksonville, St. Aug, Lake City, etc.)?     I know a lot of us audiophiles in the area like to keep to yourselves, but I was curious if there are other members in the area who would like to meet up and...

Hey gang, Head-Fi has improved with a Recommendations section, I like it!   Anyway, I need some advice and I hope you guys can head me to the right direction.   I been listening to Grado to close to 10+ years.  I listened from the Sr60s thru RS1e.  Currently I'm using a SR225e to my Audio-Gd...

Hello guys.   I haven't been on Head-Fi for a while, and for a good reason. :P    My DX50 Headphone out is going after me abusing it a little bit too much on the road.  While it wasn't the highest in the lineup, I like the warm Wolfson chip that is in the unit.  I am big in warmness sound...

I know there are some folks who want to buy the NFB-15.32 with the upgraded USB chip.  So lets talk about it here!   It appears to be an upgrade from the NFB-15.1.  I would recommend read these threads first so you know what we are dealing with:  ...

My headphones are the Grado RS-1is and sadly while I like my MZ-R70 minidisc player the built-in amp is for me not good enough to drive the RS-1is so I need a portable headphone amp that can drive the RS-1is much better than the Minidisc player.  I don't know too much about portable amp but my...

I'm currently using a RS-1i for on the go portable but I'm sorry but the SR125is and up the Grado line aren't really made for portable use IMO.  I'm using a Walkman WM-D6C cassette portable and MZ-R70 Minidisc portable.  Using a Grado 1/4 to 1/8 cable to the cassette and Minidisc portable with...

I'm going to my first one next Thursday (it's taking place on college campus which makes my life easier) and the good thing about this job fair is that you can see which companies are coming to the fair online. Since I signed up for it online I can just put down which companies I'm interested...

I was thinking about buying a rebuild LK-48B and using the tube stage for digital/phono and using its headphone amp only.  Question is does anyone know it match well with Grados? 

I just like the Grado sound too much with my setup and in the future I would like to upgrade my cans to a higher end Grado.  I can save money and get any one of them, but the question is which one will be the right for me.  These will be plugged in my Marantz 2226/2230 receiver from the 70s...

Have noting else to do on a Friday night and like music, well if you live near the Jacksonville area (if you want to travel that is ok, that means you central FL and GA people) we are having our second meeting of the North Florida Audio Society! Our mission statement: We are a group of audio...

Freak accident with my Kenwood TT today. My audio dealer was modding my Kenwood TT with some better RCA cable and when testing the cable in the huge listening room the whole shelf that the Kenwood was on feel apart. More or less I have two choices: * Have my audio dealer replace the whole TT...

Just spreading this info out. Been out for a little while. foobar2000: Components Repository - HDCD Decoder As long as you make FLAC copies from HDCD discs HDCD decoding will work on FLAC as well. Sadly there's no sign to tell if HDCD is on but the only way to find out is take out HDCD...

I would like to in the future start to use network storage for backup and run files from it. I know you use the Ethernet cable to connect the computer to the networking storage device but if I want to use internet thru the Ethernet I must use a router right? I know some people do this but I...

If possible for about $100-$200 (the cheaper, the beter) is there a DAC with Toslink inputs so I can run the Xbox in analog sound? Reason why is that the built-in DACs are going to sound like crap and I need the Xbox to run in analog for my 70s Marantz. I don't want to pay too much for...

As the title saids. As of late when I keep listening to all my FLAC files either with speakers or headphones after like 30 or so minutes I just need to shut it off because my head will be hurting like crazy. Changing the volume doesn't work at all. And I NEVER have this problem with my...

Yes I will be looking for one soon, and I'm wondering what are some of the good good cassette players from back in the day? Please don't get off-topic with quotes saying "Why?" PLEASE! What should I look out when buying a portable?

My local flea market has tons of them for like 50 cents a piece. After going vinyl and loving it I was thinking of doing a small investment on tapes. Still a good idea to buy tapes? I was thinking of getting a lower end Nakamichi player for my needs. Or maybe go to the flea market this...

With support from Stereophile we have a New Expo: Quote: AXPONA, the Audio Show of the Future, the paramount forum for show-casing audio equipment and supporting media, awaits in Jacksonville, Florida, March 5-7, 2010. AXPONA's partnership with Stereophile magazine promises...

Please read here first before giving me advice: Because I'm in the dorm room I can't buy the speaker stands that goes on the sides of my desk. I should be getting this this week: Specification - BR2 | Monitor Audio When I put these speakers on my wood desk it should be ear level to the...

Well I already like the set up that I have with my turntable: Kenwood KD-1500 TT with Marantz 2226 receiver with Grado SR225i, speakers will be the Monitor Audio BR2 when I get it in a few days. Now in my local flea market there this great seller who sells mostly vintage 70s/80s audio...

If this is the wrong area I'm sorry. Got myself a great condition Marantz 2226 for like $60: http://www.classic-audio.com/marantz/pics/r_2226.jpg The FM part works, but how in the world do I get AM Radio to work on this thing? Sounds like I need to buy a couple of things right?

Pretty much what the title saids. I know Audio GD had one at $480 but it is currently out of stock and it pretty much has things that I want from a DAC. I'm hoping that they will make it again in the future so I can buy it. But at the $500 price point what DACs are excellent? I need...

I was thinking of picking up some Clash stuff and I'm not even sure if the Remastered stuff they did back about 10 years ago is better or worse than the first CD pressings (I'm talking about their Sandinista! album which I believe was first pressed back in the 1990?). I really don't want to buy...

I enjoy my 225i a lot, but I'm curious about the RS series. Some people prefer the RS2i but a lot prefer the RS1i. Some people say the older models are better and some say the i models are great. For those who own one of them or listened to both the i versions of the RS, which one do you...

I'm currently using a WD Passport which is great considering it is small and easy to carry it around with you. It only has 232 GB of space and sooner or later I would like to upgrade to a 1TB drive. I will most likely replace the Passport with a 1TB drive so the passport will be the...
