    What were your mistakes you made buying your first or buying any IEM?

    Trusting reviews.:rage: Thinking that if I spent big money, I'd get to enjoy a flawless experience. Getting IEMs with absurdly high sensitivity, not thinking much of it, even though I had nothing with a background quiet enough to avoid audible hiss(and I hate hiss!). I spent a lot of time and a...

    Reading Graphs: Are Measurements Representative of Sonic Experience?

    20Hz is too low for most people to hear. With a subwoofer, you get the tactile impact of such low frequencies as they literally shake your body, so you wouldn't want a lot of that anyway (it's common for sound engineers to set a high pass of 6 or 12dB somewhere around 30Hz). With headphones...

    I had this (well, in French) as a kid. My mother remembers it as Star Wars. :smile_cat:

    32 Interconnect Cables Measured and Listened to!

    I don't get it. Looks like he tried to measure analog cables to determine which one would be the fastest digital cable. He's pretty much bringing eye pattern analysis into analog audio cables for no good reason. And he does it in such a way that we have even less knowledge about how to...

    If you have the education and skills you claim to have on your blog, then you have to do this constant deception game on purpose. That's unforgivable. If you don't have the education and skills you claim to have, then it means you even lied about that.

    Hope this help you to explain Hi-Res music to your CD friends

    Last post for clarity. To fully define sunjam's posts in this thread and his blog, all you need is this: Read his posts again, almost all of them have one or more of those characteristics. Me putting a stop to his grand standing operation, is merely my belief that there should be some degree...

    Don't worry about discussing something in the wrong thread, absolutely nobody stays on topic around here. I even tried to growl and show my teeth at some point, I even made a thread about off-topic, and not only did it achieve nothing, those gangsters went and posted off-topic conversations in...

    1/ Admins(the real ones)almost never interfere with this section. 2/ there is no clear concept of preventive anything. I'm bound by the rules you have all agreed to when you joined Headfi. Not acting on them is half excused by me pretending I didn't see something so long as there is no report...

    So, I've deleted 2 threads in a few days now. The why, probably isn't a huge mystery to those who were reading those threads. I'm not a fan of such heavy moves in general, but once the OP himself turns into the final boss with very many posts that shouldn't exist, I can ban him from his own...

    I'm sure he will take all that into consideration, look up some information, and come back with a different and objectively accurate take on digital audio. :deadhorse: I don't know what to do with people who don't know shame. I do have an urge to delete this thread and all his BS with it...

    Is it okay to wear the cable straight down with IEM's instead of behind the ears?

    You need the loop over your ears to accelerate the electrons at the last moment. It gives more speed to the sound and better damping. Seriously, there are different cables giving different feelings, those with memory wire to keep the shape around the ear, are favored by some, while I could...

    Having sunjam claim to use critical thinking against pseudo-science is like those 'freedom something' groups that turn out to seek anything but freedom for their people. Also, I feel his genuine desire to be heard, but he has nothing to say. It's weird, and his dishonesty to try and invent...

    1/ sighted impressions that look very much like explanations one could have without doing any test at all. 2/ I don't understand what that BLA interface dBu value is supposed to say. You loop the output of a DAC into its input? It is the DAC and if so are you sure the light tell you about...
