Hi everyone, thanks in advance. I very much enjoy my AT esw9 and senn ie8. Problem is either ear discomfort (esw9) or poor fit (ie8 are too large even with comply). I largely listen with an ifi micro at home (50-65% of the time) and LG V30 the rest of the time. Looking for equally excellent...

Hi everyone,   I'm looking for something good to compliment my existing IE8 & ESW9.   I have the UM3x, but I think I will be parting with it for something with more "weight" to the music, bass and excitement.   I'm looking for a universal IEM (no customs right now) and am currently looking...

Was looking Woo WA2, but that doesn't look so ideal for low impedance phones like Mad Dogs, ESW9, etc.  WA6se, Ray Samuels, Eddie Current seem to, based on other posts, be more "SS sounding".   So the question is...what are some good tubey sounding amps for low impedance phones (<$2000)?  ...

Hey guys, any suggestions for great sounding GSM network phones, now that it's getting close to Christmas 2011?   Thanks!

Hey everyone, I just had one of the hinges of my ESW9 break. It's under warranty, so I'm gonna get the hinges fixed, but since this is the 2nd time a hinge has broken, I want to get replacement parts in case it happens again. Anyone have any experience replacing the hinges by...

Hey guys...anyone know what the difference between a preamp(IE: MF Primo preamp) and buffer is (Ie:MF X-10v3)? Thx, Jon

Hi, wondering if anyone could explain to me (or point me to the right FAQ/guide) how you choose the correct Cap values, voltages, etc, in an amp...(I guess you could say...how to "roll" caps) Thanks in advance, Jon

Hey guys, I've been intrigued by the ability to change "flavors" of an amp by simply swapping opamps. So, for those of you who are rollers, is it possible to drastically change the amp's signature with different opamps, or is it just a subtle change? I guess, to continue the food...

Hi everyone, I was taking a look at a iBasso T4 thread, when I came to a post that was complete Greek to me. I was wondering if y'all wouldn't mind explaining these terms to me for someone who doesn't know a thing about engineering: 3dB BW (AV = +1) 130MHz Supply voltage range 2.7V to...

Hi everyone, first time poster... I got a pair of ESW9 last week and wanted to know your thoughts regarding amping. I have heard both that the cans DO get a noticeable improvement with amping, as well as they DON'T get that much of an improvement. With that said, I've been doing some...

*Sorry, this should be in the portable amping forum* Hi everyone, first time poster... I got a pair of ESW9 last week and wanted to know your thoughts regarding amping. I have heard both that the cans DO get a noticeable improvement with amping, as well as they DON'T get that much of an...
