    JVC HA-FXT100, HA-FXT200, HA-FXT200 LTD HI-SPEED

    So I've got about a 100 hours of burn in on the FXT200LTDs, but I still wasn't able to reconcile the sound, as it just seemed "off" to me. Then I had the brilliant (not) idea to swap amps, from the Topping NX1A to the SMSL SAP5, and lo and behold, harsh mids went away and I'm finding these as...

    JVC HA-FXT100, HA-FXT200, HA-FXT200 LTD HI-SPEED

    Just acquired a pair of the FX200LTDs, as the poorly designed FXZ200s were failing in the left channel despite my best efforts to repair them. I loved the sound that came out of them, it was just so enjoyable no matter what sort of music I was listening to, but the design was so poor, the nozzle...

    JVC HA-FXZ 100/200

    I didn't let anything happen to mine either. My older FXT90s still work fine. I always keep these in the case, properly coiled up and all, and I use the shirt clip so there's minimal strain on the strain reliefs. These worked great for 2 years, and then just one day the left one had no sound...

    Welp the left 'phone is almost gone in mine, i have to really twist the wire to get the sound out. Has anyone attempted to repair these?

    2014 Model SMSL SAP-5 Portable Headphone Amplifer Introduction / Impressions

    Just got mine, paired it with an ipod classic 4G mono using the LOD. Works a treat, sound is slightly warmer when compared to my classic 5G + NX1 setup, but that's good because I'm using FXT90s with this, which are anyway cool and bright sounding.

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    I just got mine. And wow, I must say, I really like it. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but this amp makes the headphone out of my ipod sound like it's anemic. Everything sounds fuller and brighter, listening to Iron Maiden's Powerslave on FLAC as I type this, and the I can feel the...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    Any Digizoid ZO users using the NX1? My Zo is on it's last legs and I need something to replace it, and I'm looking for something as neutral as possible to go with my Rockbox devices.

    JVC HA-FXZ 100/200

    My first pair of IEMs were the FXT90s, and 3 years later (a month ago) I decided to get a pair of FZX200s. They're just as I expected them to be. The FXT90 is definitely brighter, or sparkling, sounding as many say, and this is not there in the FZX200, which I miss. To that extent, I utilized...

    JVC HA-RX900 modifications, a picture tutorial. (56k, forget about it...)

    I removed the acoustic lens on mine and opened up the holes in the remaining layer of felt. The sound is now quite literally like that of a veil being lifted, or perhaps someone pulling aside the curtain between you and the speakers. Mine have less than 48 hours of burn in and I love the sound...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    I've been living with my FXT-90s for the past 4 months and the sound signature is exactly what I need. However, the time has come for me to buy an additional pair of IEMs, and I thought what better place than here to ask which other IEM would be closest to these in terms of brightness and...

    digiZoid ZO2.3 Impression & Discussion Thread

    Quote: Great, that means I know I won't regret buying a pair of DT880 Pros (250 Premium just seems a little much at $100 extra).

    digiZoid ZO2.3 Impression & Discussion Thread

    I can't say much for synergy with 'phones, but as far as synergy with sources go, when hooked up to a Zune 120 (and I'm guessing any Zune) it's pretty much akin to what Carroll Shelby did for the AC Ace.
