AKG 550 Thread
I'm really interested in these phones but after reading the "New" thread on these that was closed, I'm wondering if there are enough users to support a new thread. Or did most people end up returning them? I tried them at Magnolia and really really liked them but I'm not sure what kind of amp...- franklyshankly

Where are reviews for Peachtree DaciT?
Is it too early? Or is it just getting passed over for whatever reason? It seems like a great new DAC especially for USB users, but it's hard to buy something that has not been reviewed by anyone. I can't interpret tech specs, am I missing some glaring fault? I'm looking for a great USB DAC...- franklyshankly

Woo WA3 versus Schiit Valhalla
Hello, I've been on here for a few months searching and searching for my perfect set up. As a student I am basically poor, so I'm unable to buy and try all the products that catch my interest, so I TRULY appreciate all the help you people give to me. I do try to do all the research I can but at...- franklyshankly

NuForce HDP versus KICAS non-caliente (amp only)
Just a quick question for anyone who has heard both. I have the KICAS but I need a DAC, but I'm poor so I can't really afford a decent stand alone DAC. The HDP seems to come highly recommended, especially for the DAC section. My question is, how would the two amps compare? If they...- franklyshankly

Better to spend more on DAC or amp?
I know there's a chain of priority for where you should spend the most money (headphones>amp/dac>cables ... etc), but I forgot how it applies to DACs and amps. Basically, I just bought a used KICAS amp off this site, and it's amazing. I'm running ipod > Pure i20 > kicas amp > phones (was...- franklyshankly

Is iMod still competitive with "audiophile" DAPs (only interested in SOUND QUALITY)?
I just got brand new IEM's (se535) and I love them, but of course now I want to upgrade my iPod Touch to something a little (or a lot) better. I read so many reviews that say this-or-that DAP just blow the iPod away, and I'm so curious about how the sound could get much better. First, I 'm...- franklyshankly

Another bloody "help me choose an earphone" thread! Looking for comparisons to the X10, please ...
I did my due diligence searching threads but couldnt find anything comparing my specific phones of interest. Looking to upgrade from X10s to something definitively better in every way. So far I've narrowed it down to the Westone 3, Monster Turbine Coppers, Westone 4. The X10s are the only...- franklyshankly

Trying to understand the "Shure house sound", just a quick reply needed to help make decision
Hey everyone, after leaving my Klipsch x10's for some full sized cans (ATH-M50, Shure 840, etc) I have realized that IEM are really what I need. I want to upgrade from my x10's. I loved them when I first got them 2-3 years ago, but after comparing them to the M50's, I realized that they...- franklyshankly

million dollar business idea for free! seriously, though, someone should do this

To cut to the chase, here it is: This...- franklyshankly

Amatuer, non-technical review: ath m50, denon d2000, shure 840, all with and without TTVJ Slim

the sound quality differ from any other digital player? And when you do bypass the iPod amp in favor of some boutique brand-name external amp, is the "flavor" of the sound influenced *only* by amp+headphones, or does the iPod still impart some quality? If it still does impart some quality, from...- franklyshankly

When is the right time to invest in an amp? Wait for burn-in or not? Looking for advice for Shure 840's!! Thanks!
After reading this site for a few days, I decided to get some Shure 840's. I was sick of my in ear phones (Klipsch X10's ... amazing sound but fragile and uncomfortable), and after 2 days of listening to the 840's I'm basically happy with them. But I have a few questions that hopefully someone...- franklyshankly
