Just ordered my Denon 1001k's and have some cash sitting around and my next obvious buy would be source stuff. I am using the crummy sound card in my ThinkPad and think a DAC could do some good. Also I have a Cowon D2 which could see...

I pulled the trigger on the first pair of D1001k's I found under 80 bucks on Amazon. The seller seems legit and hopefully i get these next week. Now my wallet will reload and I can consider Markl mods and eventually an amp so i can...

If detail is hearing every instrument and the layers they build, thats what I want. I had a good experience with AKG K240's but they are open and I need no leakage. I have IEM's and I'm not in love with them for anything but playing...

After listening to a set of AKG 240s, I realized I am leaving a lot on the table with my current arsenal. I am in the process of getting my UM-1's repaired under warranty and now have a job which should allow me to get okay deals on a...

Damn you headphones. The right ear of my Westone UM-1's is very quiet out of every source I've tried. Sound is there but its very faint. What the hell should I do? I wiggled the cables and that changed nothing and tried 3 sources with...
