    West coast cable repair suggestion?

    I have a Sennheiser HD6X0 cable from a vendor that is no longer around and the connector has broken at the Sennheiser side. I'm looking for a vendor on the Western side of the United States that might be willing to repair something like this.   Thank you.

    Edit "Your Recent Activity"

    Is there any way to edit what activity I do and don't want to monitor?  For instance, I want to remove dead threads and move up older threads that are still active ahead of some more recent ones that I don't want to follow.

    Reference Quality Chopin?

    I'm looking for some reference quality recordings to surprise my S.O. with. I believe she is a fan of the Nocturnes, but something that really conveys the sound of the piano would be excellent.

    Portishead - Dummy SHM-CD

    Has anyone heard / compared the original SHM-CD limited release to the SMH-CD Reissue?   Listening to the original US release is a little saddening. It is a grainy and flat mess.

    Sales and Wanted Filter

    I would like to see a country of origin filter added to the sales forum and search options. The possibility of clicking a tab and filtering out all the non-local sales.

    Ultimate Ears Order Process?

    For anyone who has ordered from UE recently - could you tell me your order process?   After you place your order and send your impressions in, what is the communication and turn around time?

    Hard Drive Mechanical Repair?

    Has anyone had to have a hard drive repaired to recover the data?   My music storage drive went down at 2AM this morning with a case of the clicks! Most recent backup is 2 years old and would love to hear hopeful stories of repairs. I will most likely be calling Seagate on Monday and see...

    Best Sockets on Custom IEM's?

    Which manufacturer has the best socket system for custom IEM's?   It seems that most of them mount at the edge and the pins act as a fulcrum point and would get bent or easily separate from the shell.   For a niche product, I feel that a little more development should be made in the...

    Russian speaking members? I could use your help / translation

    For the holidays I am gifting a friend a set of custom in-ear monitors and I would like to make a plate on the case that basically says something like "Custom monitors designed for ----name---"   But I don't know what the correct terminology for in-ear monitor would be in Russian; this is where...

    Memory Stick (USB Thumb Drives) Help me choose one

    I am looking in the 16GB or 32GB size, I'd rather not have something that I can loose the cap on, but it isn't a deal breaker. My main goal would be to find something relatively quick. I have USB 3.0 on one system, so that is an option also.   Thanks.

    Sidewalk Surfer Shoes?

    Anyone have some recommendations on some comfy cruisers? I've been looking at the Sanuk lineup, but don't know if there is anything else I should be checking out? P.S. - I don't like sandals/thongs

    iPod Touch Case (easier to hold)

    Are there any cases that make it a little easier to hold in the hand while still being super easy to get in and out of the pocket? I'm currently using a griffin case that I like aesthetically, but it just makes me feel like I need to be spiderman to hold on to it right. Thanks.

    Ear Bud to IEM "converter" ?

    I'm not too sure of a technical name for this, but are there any sleeves that fit over ear buds to make them in canal or help seal better than the foam covers?

    Windows 7 DAC Help

    I have a MHDT Havana and separately a PS Audio GCHA that I have tried to both hook up at separate times tonight and both caused the system to lock up/freeze completely. With the Havana it was only when trying to test or listen to it or open any audio related programs. The GCHA locked up...

    Can I "test" impressions?

    I had impressions made and sent off for customs to Fisher Hearing to do a remold of some IEM's. Now that they are back, can I insert them into my ears to see if they are still good to send off to someone like UE, Westone, JH?

    CRT Flat Screens?

    I'm looking at picking up an older Sony 34" XBR 910/960 for use in a bedroom to watch DVD's. Is there any reason not to pick up a late 90's early 2000's TOTL Tube television? Pro's/Con's ? It has DVI input, but I've read that it doesn't seem to like computer input for whatever reasons...

    What tubes are in YOUR Single Power right now?

    Supra XLR - (2x) Tung-Sol 2C51 up front and (4x) GE 6BL7GTA Slight bit of noise floor, but at listening level unnoticeable. I would say this combo give you lots of dynamics with detail to match. The only thing I have heard another amp do better is the sense of air which could be a plus or...

    Has anyone dealt with their 5th generation play/pause button not working? In diagnostics mode it does not even work. Everything except for play/pause works. I've done a "restore" "resets" etc. etc. and nothing yet. I've read something about connecting to a PC for 48 hours, but not sure what...

    5th Gen iPod Video Logic Board Differences?

    I purchased a replacement logic board for my 5th gen 60gb video and a 240gb HD. When I boot up the ipod with the new logic board and HD the apple logo stays on and nothing happens even when connected to a PC. My problem with the old logic board is the HD connector snap-down does not snap into...
