I'm an Australian visiting Tokyo in July for holiday. I'm planning a full day (1st July 2014) of visiting the best audio/electronic store in Akihabara and Nakano. Is anyone interested in joining me?   Inspired by Jude's Tokyo trip in 2011 (First 12 minutes of video)...

From the Reddit headphone wiki: Are you a dirt-poor, ramen-eating student who is sick and tired of all these luxurious headphone posts that cost more than you car? Here is a poor man's FLAC capable portable setup, can be had for <100$ brand new. $35 Sansa Clip+ and Rockbox Firmware $28...

Is there a better neutral headphone than the Paradox (T50RP mod)? I already have the Paradox and I'm just wondering if there is anything else left to upgrade to.

Review: Fostex TH900 vs Denon D5000 All my listening is done through my Fostex HP-A3 DAC/amp. I've owned the Denon D5000s for about 7 months and listened to them for over 1000 hours in that time period. I've owned the Fostex TH900 for about 1 month and listened to them for about 100 hours. The...

I'm trying to find an upgrade from my Fiio E10 DAC/amp. I love its form factor since I can bring it with my laptop anywhere. The only other similar product I can find is the Headamp Pico DAC/amp. Any recommendations? Volume knob is a must (rules out Fiio E17).

What are the best 2.0 speakers between $100 to $150? Currently I am considering the M-Audio AV40 and Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II.

I've read a lot of positive reviews for Markl modded D5000s and I'm a bit suspicious that there are no negative reviews. Does anyone actually prefer stock D5000s over Markl modded D5000s?

M50 without cotton:   M50 with cotton:   I tried listening with and without cotton and I hear no difference whatsoever. Why is it even there?

I'm going to be visiting Orlando, Florida. Are there any good headphone stores that I can visit there?

Just read this article about the new Fiio E10 USB DAC/Amp. Its supposedly cheaper and better than the Fiio E7 that it succeeds. http://www.headfonia.com/the-latest-must-have-the-fiio-e10-usb-dacamp/

I saw this video and I'm curious now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PcjR9FWXl8

I tried using my friend's ADDIEMs and I love the clarity of mids. I simply miss the treble and bass extension of my Audio-Technica M50. Are there any IEMs out there that have mids just as good or better than the ADDIEMs but with better treble and bass extension?

I am upgrading from my Audio-Technica M50. I have narrowed down my choices down to the Sony Z1000 and Ultrasone Pro 900. Can someone with both these headphones explain the differences between them? I listen to electronic, JPop, jazz, classical and funk music (in order of time spent listening)...

My friend's Audio-Technica M50's cable is broken near the stereo plug and he wants me to help him repair it since he has no soldering skills. How can I shorten the cable to remove the broken part? I have experience in soldering but have never dealt with headphone cables before.

What do DACs and amplifiers do to sound and which is more important in the audio equipment chain?

The Audio Technica M50 only has 38 ohms which is pretty low. Will sound quality improve from using a 75 ohm impedance adapter? I am considering buying this 75 ohm impedance adapter from ebay...

The metal ring fell off one of the sides of my Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones. Will this affect audio quality in any way or is it just for aesthetic purposes?   *Edit (pic)*:

Are there any good IEMs that pair well with the Fiio E7 in the $40-$60 price range? I listen to funk, jazz, electronic and pop music.   Edit: I am currently considering the Brainwavz M1 ($40) since I've head that it sounds great when amped. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Before purchasing my new Audio-Technica ATH-M50, I was using a pair of earphones that was broken on the right side. Because of this I cranked up the volume really loud so that I could get the same kind of loudness that I usually experience with both ears. After long listening sessions I would...

I bought an Audio-Technica ATH-M50 last week and I am very pleased with the sound quality. The volume is already loud enough without an amp. However I am wondering what DAC/Amp would be appropiate for improving its sound quality even further. I would also find the volume knob on an amp/DAC more...
