R.I.P to head-fi member Edward Sotomayor, Orlando shooting victim
When I saw the news, his picture jumped out at me. I knew his face from somewhere, and it turns out it he was a head-fi member. I looked for his profile and posts he made, but I couldn't find any - no sure about his screen name. I thought people should be made aware of this. If anybody knew him...- doublea71

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
This one has me excited - a beautiful A&K product that is very pocketable and competitively priced (sort of). I think it looks terrific, but we need to hear from the lucky ones to get an idea about its sound. It will retail for $500 USD and feature the Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip, 1 microSD slot...- doublea71

Review Ratings Not Accurate
To the Admins: I posted a review of the X1 today and the slideable bars for the various aspects that can be selected (sound, value, build quality, etc.) do not reflect what I've selected in the post editor as I wrote it and also when I tried to edit it. I guess this is a bug of some sort.- doublea71

The Hassle-Free Headphone Recommendation Thread: Cans that sound great without amping, modding, or burn-in.
I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy? Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...- doublea71

Sanding/Buffing down a CIEM - Is this a DIY No-No or doable?
My customs are a bit uncomfortable and I feel like I have too much material in my ears, so I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried to change the shape of a set of customs to improve the fit. It seems risky, so maybe a hearing aid dealer would be a better place to start since they, afaik, often...- doublea71

Which custom iem cables have the best placebo effect?
I can't seem to find definitive proof one way or the other no matter how many threads on this topic I read and I don't like the tone or register of a lot of the posts I've read either (catty, at best), so I'm just going to trust in the placebo effect (a scientifically verifiable phenomenon) to...- doublea71

Seeking recommendations for well-recorded+mastered classical and/or ambient music that induces a state of relaxation/complete absence of thought for the listener.
I live in Saigon, a noisy, chaotic, and bustling city. I'm not really a city person, but this is where I make my home (and where I will live for the foreseeable future). I am seeking recommendations for the type of music in the title of this thread. I'm not looking for magic, just whatever...
