Deleted... original post.      Upon further review of my new iPod Touch 4G - I find that WAV, AIFF, and ALAC files all sound virtually identical to the CD playing on my Sony Walkman CDP.   Though, the WAV files sound a bit louder, and maybe a hair better at the same volume settings on...

Red Wine Audio will be presenting a new version of their Corvina HPA with both single ended and balanced output to improve it's performance with both high and low impedence phones at the upcoming Official NYC Meet Sat June 2nd 2012.   For all those who will be attending... I think a lot of...

Many of the Denon cups have fallen off the gimbals, when the screw / bolt assembly that connects them to the gimbals has come loose.     If that happens to yours, you can easily repair them, without sending them in to Denon... by... simply ordering the assembly to replace the parts you may...

http://www.head-fi.org/t/472667/netgear-eva9150   I'd really like to find a music server that can match CD's, SACD's and Vinyl - eliminate the noise, jitter and USB deficiencies in music servers.   Does anyone have any experience with the PV CyberServer?

Does anyone have any experience with a CyberServer, or similar, solid state drive music server?   http://www.head-fi.org/t/472667/netgear-eva9150   Seems like the best way to obtain optimum sound quality with a music server into a real DAC (not a USB DAC).    ...

Are orb speakers the ultimate headphones / speakers?   Has anyone tried these?   http://www.head-fi.org/t/582722/orb-or-morel-sphere-speakers-as-good-as-it-gets-best-headphones

I saw a post on Audio Asylum that reports sphere speakers are as good as it gets and can easily outperform Quads, or any other speaker system - Orb or Morel sphere speakers.   The guy replaced his Quads with them, and thinks they sound better than Gallo's - when placed about 18" from your ears. ...

I realize the answer to my question may be buried in many of the posts related to the HE500’s – but, I’ve read them all, and don’t recall a good answer.    Looking for some help in identifying a SS or Hybrid amp that is <$1,000, which drives both my low to moderate impedance dynamic phones...

Deleted - wrong forum

I've bought a set of 507's to check out the Stax line.  After all the positive comments, comparing them favorably to the LCD2's and HE-6's - I finally decided to give Stax a try.    But... now I have to get an amp for them.  I'm too frugal to go with anything great (e.g. KGSS or BH) - so...

Any suggestions for cathode cap options for my WA6 SEM??? I plan on replacing the BG cathode caps, with higher values - 220uf / 160v caps. Since I doubt I will find BG's in those values - what other good options would anyone suggest??? http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/woo...0/#post6571499

Can someone explain how a lowly Shellbrook Maxi-Moy SS amp (with OPA 627s) can be virtually as good as a WA6 SEM, or Millett MiniMax, or GS Solo SRG, or whatever??? My Maxi-Moy sounds virtually as good as my other amps. Well... maybe not quite as good as my WA6 SEM - but, very close...

I demoed the GS1000s and was very disappointed with their sound - sounded way too distant, and weak. And, of course, they kept slipping down / off - weak clamping. I didn't want to "mess with" the headband, but, it didn't appear that it could be made to provide a tight / firm clamp. It...

For those who've heard both... if anyone... How does the sound of the Millett Hybrid MiniMax compare to the sound of the SS M^3? I would expect it to be similar, except that the MiniMax likely has a bit warmer, richer sound. Just curious... since my original interest was in the M^3...

I must admit... I'm a skeptic... but... Does cryo treatment noticeably improve the sound of tubes? Does it affect their useful life? What about other electrical components? What are the EE / physics principles which justify cryo treatment of electrical components? If its actually...

OK... ... I've been thinking of trying a Millett Hybrid MiniMax to see how it compares to my other amps - sort of "on the rebound" from the Caliente, which is not available. I've had some conversations with SACD Lover who really likes them - he's got "dozens" of them. But... how do...

Does "order complete" on the Purity Audio site... mean they're back in business now? Or, are they still completing the Group Buy amps? And... if they are all complete, does that mean, there will soon be quite a number of them for sale on the For Sale Forum??? If so - let me know.

I had to start a new thread... since... not many have heard about this new amp... at a new price. Since Mrarroyo has "brought me up to speed"... the Solo thread needs to be resurrected... ... in the light of the GS Solo SRG, which is "now on sale." Solo SRG Headphone Amplifier: Solo...

The Grant Fidelity B-283/ Yaqin Tube Buffer is a great way to gain the sound of tubes with your SS CDP/DAC and SS amp! http://grantfidelity.com/site/files/...%20B-283_1.pdf It adds, a very poweful, rich tube sound to SS components, or tube components that may have a bit too much of a SS...

"Electronics are funny things" - I'm not even sure I'd understand it all any better... if... I were an EE. I'm not sure you can actually predict, accurately what the sound of any combination of components will produce. I listened to my DV332, for the last time just before I shipped it out...

Anyone try these? http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/bur...opamps-346429/ Posted here... because wasn't sure you'd see it on the Source forum.

Has anyone upgraded their digital source (DAC / CDP) to use the Burson Discrete Audio Opamps??? Or... does you source use them, instead of the more conventional Burr Brown opamps? They reportedly "totally transform" your source into the "World's Best." Burson Discrete Opamps...

Has anyone compared the DV332 to the DV337? If so... how do they compare? Is the DV337 signficantly better (>10%), or only marginally better (<10%) - my guess is the latter. Just want to determine, if the upgrade to the DV337 is really justified - ~10%+/- improvement would not be...

So... does anyone else... besides "DaltonLanny" prefer the Marantz SA-8001 to the Saturn and 840C?

Just a quick warning to those who might be thinking about buying a "used / pre-owned" Rega Apollo or Saturn CDP. As you've no doubt read on Audiogon, or Audio Asylum, or here... the Apollo and Saturn CDPs have a high failure rate regarding "read errors." I thought I might try one (buy a...
