Hi all, I've sold several items on the Head-fi classifieds. Since I visited last, I was asked to setup 2 factor identification. I did that, but I still don't see an add new listing button that works. I'm sure I'm missing something. I would appreciate any and all help. Thanks! Leo

Hi All, Been listening to headphone audio for years. However, I'm new to the science of it all. I have an OTL headphone AMP. Feliks Audio Espressivo. Love it. It drives my DT800's terrifically well. 600 OHM. Also drives my Clears (55 OHM) and all my Grado's (about 32 OHM). None with...

Hi all, I have a computer as my music source. I have usb (type C) out to a fully balanced DAC and Amp. I am using RCA cables. Question: Will I have a balanced output to my headphones if I connect the headphones to the amp via XLR? Thanks for your help! Leo

I've been using my canamp for over a year now and love it. However, when I have no music playing I often times can hear a local FM radio station coming through. Although not loud, I can make out the DJ talking and/or the music playing. Any suggestions about what I can do to eliminate this...

When I first started here and received the greeting above I thought I was joining a group of big hearted jokers who were just being sarcastic. Boy was I wrong, and boy were you more experienced guys right. Not that I'm complaining. I've had a wonderful journey with many eargasims along the way...

My buddy and I were driving to South Beach this afternoon and I was relating a lot of things that I've learned here on Head-fi. I was explaining how I had my DAC connected to my HP Amp. I explained that DAC was short for digital to analog conversion. He pointed out that if you were listening to...

I originally posted this in the amp section but based on the responses (NOT), I thought I would re-post here and ask for your help. I've recently purchased both a Canamp and a Pico Dac only. It's working IMO terrifically well. I'm really enjoying the sound. However, given that this is my...

OK, I recently started a thread about the poor recording quality associated with the new Dave Matthews Band album Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King. So far 100% of the feedback agrees with my rather primitive assessment. Well, my experience with this new Elvis Costello album is completely...

I've recently purchased both a Canamp and a Pico Dac only. It's working IMO terrifically well. I'm really enjoying the sound. However, given that this is my first desktop amp and my first dedicated dac, I was wondering if having a better dac would improve the sound at all. If you do think that...

I've recently purchased this album as I've heard a lot about Dave Matthews and wanted to give him a try. I was really disappointed with audio engineering of most of the album in general. The treble is high and piercing. The bass seems to be muddled. Overall, the sound seems to have an...

The note below was taken from a Sterophile Magazine review of a Bel Canto USB Link 24/96 USB-S/PDIF converter. It states below that one must appropriately adjust the midi settings in order to hear benefits of this hardware. Not being well founded in the basics of computer audio I was wondering...

This album was just released this week. Wow, Van IS the man! Admittedly, I've not heard all of his recent albums, but this release has to be one of his best releases ever. It's certainly one of the best albums I've heard in the last year. The recording quality is very good for any recording...

Let me start by saying that I've never really paid attention to the LOD portion of my portable rig. Instead I've spent quite a bit of time experimenting and investing in portable amps. Most recently I’ve been using my 160 GB Ipod with a RSA 71a amp and UE-11 monitors. All my music is recorded...

Sitting here listening to some good old fashioned rock n roll at 1:30 in the morning and enjoying the hell out of the SR-80's. Been listening only to the K-701's and UE-11's for the last year or so, and just now went back to listen to the Grados and OMG!!. Using them with the SR-71a amp and...

Given the great reviews for the P-51 Mustang is there any reason one would buy a Tomahawk vs. the P-51? The best selling points (in a nutshell) a couple years ago when the T-Hawk came out were "big sound from a tiny package with great battery life"......Sound familiar? Looks to me like Ray has...

I apologize in advance. I've tried the search function but couldn't locate the thread I remember seeing within the last 3 months or so. There was a new company that was building/selling custom travel bags to hold an Ipod classic and amp (along with LOD). They made different bags for different...

I've started the process of changing jobs i.e. I've left one but haven't gotten any other yet However, I still want to start the process of building my home rig. I will be using my Macbook with my music ripped with Apple Lossless. I can use my Pico/Dac as part of the rig if necessary. I...

This was announced this morning and was surprised to see nothing about it here. Isn't this an improvement over what's currently available from Apple? Being a noob about this part of my gear I need your help to better understand. Is this news good, great, or meaningless? Thanks

Please tell me I'm messed up and missed this feature. I went in tonight and it ain't there boyz. Can't believe it. Hopefully, you'll tell me I'm mistaken and where to find it. Let me know. Fingers crossed (among other things)

I'm wondering as the only amp I've been able to use to drive my 701's is the Pico (with the DAC out of the macbook & out of an Ipod classic, all lossless). Thanks for the feedback guys!

Why not? They're great. You'll never hear anything approaching these babies. Why go for the Triple Fi's, Sure 530's, Um-2's, or other custom imitaions??? Why? I don't understand the thought process (although it took me 2 years + to understand this equation). If you're serious you're gonna end...

Saw the Radiatiors in Ft. Lauderdale July 4 and July 5. Wow! Some great shows indeed. These guys have been together since '78 and they rock, they funk, they jam, they blow the roof off the joint. From the look of things they have a small hard core group of very dedicated fans, but most people...

There sure has been a lot of threads and comments lately about the UE-11's. I've mentioned previously that I'm going to be picking a pair up. Sent in my ear molds earlier this week, and yes I held very, very, still as you suggested. I've a Pico Amp/Dac and absolutely love it. However, after...

I need some advice. As noted on the title of this thread I pulled the trigger today and ordered the UE-11's. Very excited about it indeed. I will be getting my ear molds made next week. From time to time I've heard of people whose molds weren't exactly right and they ended up having to have them...
