I am mainly using my Neumann speaker these days for my desk setup, but I also have a Music Cast 500 Vinyl player that I use from time to time to play LPs. I am looking for a device that can: 1) Have XLR output to use with my active speakers 2) Have Bluetooth Receiver capacity to play music...

I Know woo audio makes a nice one but I want something a bit cheaper but still has a quality look. I tried cheap ones from Amazon, they are just not designed for big cans. Maybe something from Etsy people have experience with?

Hi all, A few months back, I made a payment to someone for a purchase (I did use the regular payment with fee, not f&f), but I quickly changed my mind. The seller refund my payment promptly However recently I was reviewing my bank transaction and realized that I made two payments at that...

I am planning to get a new setup that can be used in a turntable setup + speaker + headphone in my office. Ragnorak 2 (fully loaded one) seems to hit all the use cases I am looking for. Just curious, are there other products that are similar to this one ? Want to evaluate all options I have...

I always liked how comfortable my old UM1 was. Does any new Westone product have mic ? 

I just picked up a SR-009 + Carbon combo this weekend. While I was at the seller's house, I listened to it for a few minutes and it sounded fine to me and I did not hear any channel imbalance.   Since I don't have a DAC with XLR out at the moment, I got two RCA adapters for XLR so I can hook...

I got an used V200 with USB Dac recently. I have tried two different USB cables with two different Macbook Pro. But, there are always a couple of light static pop sound at the beginning of every track. I tried both Vox playing local files and Spotify.  I tried with three different headphones and...

I have been with my K701 for close to 10 years now. Every couple of years, I wonder if they are something better out there, but too lazy to deal with buy and sell, I never tried the newer headphones after briefly in meet-ups every couple of years.   I heard Lumoid a while ago, but never tried...

Was going to buy a used pair of ER-4S, but this just came out...

I broke my piston 2 and wanted a replacement. I bought from Amazon for $8.89.  The review all seems to be good and I thought the low price is because it gets shipped from China.   But, I got it today and the sound is terrible, very disjointed also feel the sound is coming from somewhere far...

This has been driving me crazy. But, my DV 339 has some audible static (or hissing) sound on the right channel. I think it gets a bit better after a while, but for the first 5 minutes, it is super annoying.    Could this be tube related ? 

I recently purchased an used tube amp. The item came damaged (broken tubes), when I contacted the shipper's UPS store, I was told the shipper didn't let UPS pack it, but instead used the original packaging. Hence, the damage is not covered by anything.      I felt it is the shipper's fault...

I bought a RasperryPi and tried Volumio / RuneAudio on it. While I can get both of them working, but there are just too many glitches here and there.    Here are my requirements:   1: Support NAS access (perfer NFS, but Samba is fine...) 2: Play FLAC/APE/MP3 3: Below $200 4: Reliable and...

Hi all,   A few tubes I received today are damaged (UPS). 2 of them are just completely smashed and luckily the seller has original receipts, for the rest, a couple of them have broken glass pieces inside, but when I put them in the amp, they still work (glowing).  I am a tube noob, so here...

I just got my first set of speakers (Sonus Faber Toy Tower + Peachtree Nova 125).  While I think it sounds great, but one thing that keeps bugging me is that I felt more sound is coming from the right speaker.   Today, I just got the La Figaro 339 shipped to me and I was feeling the same...

I like the sound and do want to keep them as a spare pair...But, man, it is tight ! 

A friend of mine is going away for an antarctica trip.   I want to buy him a quality jacket.   I am thinking Arc'Teryx, but their product line is pretty confusing...Any suggestions ? 

Hi I am looking for an in-ear that provides a reasonable sound quality and good voice clarity.    The review on MC3 is a bit disappointing...HF2 is a bit over my price range.   Any thing else ?   Thanks !

Hi guys,   What are some eartips that are compatible with Harman Kardon 720 ?   Thanks

I did some googling, it turns out the line-in in my macbook pro cannot be used with a regular headset (I am using a Ety headset with adapter).   What the hell was Apple thinking ?  Is this another example of Apple's "I THINK THIS IS THE BEST APPROACH" ? Does anyone know why or any...

Not sure where is the best place to post this.    I am looking for a wired headset for my Droid X phone 3.5mm jack. It is simply for making phone calls.   Thanks

A friend of mine is looking for a simple home audio system. I am thinking about an IPod dock that he can use his iphone to play Pandora.   Any suggestion ?

Everything counts from opera to free student recital in music conservatory, or lady gaga   I went about 10 or 11.  

I am speechless... I lost two pairs of ER-4P... Went for a RE-0, didn't like it. Bought another pair...got it today in mail...   I switched to the shure oliver form, but I put the wrong size... Then when I try to remove it, i twisted it bit too hard...now, I broke it...   How can I get...
