Help with Headphone Repair (Hifiman Arya)
I'm out of warranty and the one driver stopped working (no audio from left driver). Hifiman offered to replace it from v2 (what I have now) to v3 (current stock) for a fee with me returning the v2 to them. If it's a simple fix I prefer to do it myself and keep my v2. I'm 99% sure my amp...- N0sferatu

Hardware EQ Suggestions?
I just decided to go for a splurge of an upgrade as I haven't done much for years with my setup. I've been using PEACE on the PC but my understanding is that with the new setup if I'm to do hardware MQA decoding on the DAC that means the signal has to go untouched to the DAC correct? That...- N0sferatu

Amazon Music HD
They are offering a free 90 day trial right now so I decided to give it a whril. I've been mostly using local FLAC and Spotify for my music listening. I'm more of a casual listener than critical but I do like listening on good equipment. With that said, is it placebo, or do I find most of the... -
Florida Audio Expo - Listened to a TON of Headphones (Focal, HifiMan, Audeze, Meze, etc)!!!
I must say I was pleasantly surprised to have so many great headphones to listen to. Most people were there for the speakers so it left the headphone stations pretty well open. Some of them I was surprised scoffed at the headphone stations and moving on to jam speakers. I love my speaker...- N0sferatu

Need help fixing my headphones!!! (Fostex & Sennheiser models)
I've had both of these headphones for a LONG time (Fostex for about 5 years and the HD600 for over 10 years). The one I really need to fix because they don't work right is my Fostex TH900. I cannot get a seal on my head because of how loose the driver support has gotten. How do I fix this...- N0sferatu

Worth Upgrading or Waste of Money?
Currently I have an Audio-GD FUN I bought several years ago. I use it primarily for PC FLAC/MP3 playback. It's my speaker system for my desktop PC as I have no speakers connected to the computer (it's all headphone output). Personally, I think the system sounds fine with the headphones I'm...- N0sferatu

$10,000 speaker system vs. modded Fostex TH900 vs. Denon AH-D7000 vs. Sennheiser HD600 - Detailed Review
Just got my Fostex TH900 (zolkis modded) today off a member on this site. Figured it'd be a good time to try and compare them to my other headphones and my theater room. Before I continue I'll just say this, all of these are awesome at their price range at the end of the day you can't go wrong...- N0sferatu

EQ for PC
As title states, is there any good software out there that will allow you to equalize the source material on a windows PC? I've used something called ViPER Audio for my Android device but was looking for something similar that works great on a computer. Any thoughts?- N0sferatu

Fostex upgrade coming from the Denon AH-D7000
I'm doing some homework looking around and I'm undecided on which model to go with. I know the Denon I currently own was basically a rebranded Fostex headphone.

Portable IEM for working out
First off...yes I've searched the forums already. I'm looking for a new IEM. I don't like the fact that mine hisses away a lot at certain sources (likely due to the low resistence 16ohm nature). So I want... A) something that requires a little more drive B) universal fit (I...- N0sferatu

Ray Samuels Hornet vs Predator vs Other
I'm doing some homework on which portable amp to check out. Primary use from a portable standpoint is either my cell phone (Galaxy S2) or my laptop. If I run it through the laptop I'd benefit from the USB on the Predator that's missing from the Hornet. Is that worthy of a $100 difference...- N0sferatu

I've done some homework and found that my phone (Galaxy S2) will not let you easily override the DAC in the phone so I'm forced with analog out.
