Headphone amps HD what are the choices?
You should check www.headfi.org www.headwize.com www.headphone.com. The first two are forums and information sites. The last site is Headroom's commercial site that also contains loads of good information. I personally have an MG Head DT tube head... 
Potential problem with sale.
I think that part of the general good will of Audiogon is that people should take things back if there is reasonable cause. If any buyer contacted me about a problem within the first few days of receiveing something from me, I would take it back, ... 
Why bi-wiring is bad
I have a set of Martin Logan Aerius i's. I have had them for 5 years and have been biwiring them for about two years now. Switching to biwire configuration made an instantly recognizable change to the sound, larger, in my experience, than changing... 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
I have to agree with the respondants above that mention room treatments. Yes, AC problems will contribute to sibilance, but before you take any really elaborate electrical measures, you really should get a big carpet. Also, try putting some kind o... 
Totem mani 2 or Dynaudio 1.3 SE
Thanks for all the responses! It looks like most of you are in favor of the mani 2's. Looks like I am going to have to buy a pair just to audition them. I have listened to the Dynaudios, as well as the Revel M20. I liked both of them but was hopin...

Martin Logan with 7 foot ceiling?
I agree with the previous reply. I have a set of Aerius i speakers. They beam forwards (and backwards) but not up. This is usually considered a negative, because the sound changes when you stand up. you have to be sitting down to get the right sou... 
Looking for a great tube headphone amp
I have an MG Head DT that I'm pretty happy with. Sound improved alot with EI tubes. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 600's. They are very accurate sounding, but somehow a little unexciting. I have a pair of Grado SR 325's that are a little more dyna... 
What to do when seller does not send item paid for
My impression is that there are extremely few cases of fraud here on Audiogon. At Ebay there are always all kinds of scams going but I've been using Audiogon for 3 years and have never heard of someone getting chested outright on any forum thread.... 
Single box CD players with NO oversampling?
D/A convertors do not need to have oversampling to work, it's just that they are almost always implemented to smooth out the filter curve. A pure analog "Brick Wall" Filter can be used somewhere past 20,000 hz with no over sampling. This was done ... 
which is better 1.bit 256 sampling 0r 24/96
Generally, true 24/96khz (or 192khz) Dacs are considered supereior, although some Bitstream/ Delta Sigma Dacs are also very well made. Sometimes it is confusing because 1 bit units are not always labled as "bitstream" Many "24/96 Capable" DACs are...

AA DTI Pro32 Manual
I recently had a repair done to my DDS Pro by Dusty. I contacted him through www.monolithicsound.com where he also works. Also, I believe you can purchase the upgrade AD3 adaptive dither chip from www.hcmaudio.com. it may not be on their web page ... 
absolute best component you ever owned
The only thing that remains a constant in my system are my Target Beta equipment stands. Never felt the need to upgrade or replace 'em!
