Just had a Fiio E10 that I purchased off of eBay delivered today, and I've been testing it all afternoon with my Westone UM3X while working at home.   I bought the E10 to use in my office with a pair of Sony MDR-V6, which always stay there. Can't wait until I get to the office on Monday to...

So, here's a question for a recommendation concerning my work in phonetics. Our acoustics and speech physiology lab is looking to do some work with manipulating the frequency response of a subject's speech in real-time, and recording how the subject adjusts their speech output accordingly. To do...

Okay... so... here's the deal: 1) I have a very sensitive set of IEMs, UM3X. 2) I listen to my music at very low volume levels with my Fuze. I would say an average of 5 steps out of 39. 3) I'm interested in getting a small portable amp, since I've quite liked the benefits I've heard...

I really can't take credit for this great idea, because I combined the ideas from two previous threads: Quote: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/h...o-pics-383917/ (I can't find the other thread... it was about putting silicone sleeves over Shure olives... any help?) This...

Don't worry, I'm not going to double-post the whole thing, but I just wanted to let you DIYers know that I have a thread started on making custom IEM silicone tips in the portable headphone forum. I figured that it would be best posted there, for two reasons: 1) More exposure to the thread...

This guide has been designed to provide a pictorial process for making custom silicone ear tips for your IEMs. Since I am beginning this thread before the tips have been completed, I can't say yet whether this method will actually work, but I'm going to make the guide anyway, so that people...

I've been up and down the Intertubes, and can't find any semblance of an answer to this question. I'm planning on attempting to make some custom sleeves/tips for my RE0 IEMs, and the material that I was thinking of using is 100% silicone caulk. Now, before anyone thinks I'm completely...

I put on Les Voix Humaines, a collection of works played on centuries-old viols by Jordi Savall, while studying at a local café for a final exam. The Fuze/Tomahawk/RE0 combo is forming a beautiful synergy tonight. Carl Friedrich Abel's "Pieces in D minor for bass viol solo Prelude in D" comes...

Apologies for merely linking to another thread of mine, but I'm very surprised to find little to no information in the forum archives about DIY custom IEM sleeves, as well as very little discussion about it in the other thread. With the interest there seems to be in custom sleeves made by...

I apologize that this is a repost from an earlier thread I started in the Portable forum, but I've very curious about this, and I'm finding very little information in the archives. I have a friend who is an audiologist, and I asked her the other day how much it would cost to have her do ear...

Who says that high-impedance headphones can't be driven well by small portables?? Out of sheer curiosity, I just tried plugging my HD600 into my Tomahawk to see how well it would do. I was expecting nothing at all, really, even in high gain mode. This amp can drive the HD600 with authority...

... having... trouble... WAITING!!!

I have a friend who is an audiologist, and I asked her the other day how much it would cost to have her do ear impressions for me, just out of curiosity. Her answer has now made me much more curious... I'm wondering if I would be able to make a negative of the impressions, and then pour...

Flipping through the newest Audio Advisor catalog this morning, I was struck by how much more they are choosing to use subtle sexual advertising to push their products. I mean, they've always used the one brunette model in some of the photos, at least, but now it's just... well... becoming less...

I hate this. I hate this! I HATE THIS!! This addiction... argghhh... So what's the real deal with the RE0? Is it really as good as people say it is? I've read all the reviews, but I'm skeptical, to be honest. I recently picked up (or, recently received, at least) a pair of SoundMAGIC...

Soundmagic PL-50 order... -Nearly 5 weeks since they received payment -8 business days to process the order -16 business days since the item "shipped" -No record of shipment on Hong Kong Post website -MP4Nation is horrible at responding to emails. This is my second, and last...

We had our first frost here in Illinois a couple of nights ago, so it got me thinking: anyone working on his fall/winter coat yet? I'm going on nearly three weeks now... it's coming in nicely. I have to shave it off in a couple of weeks, unfortunately, but I'll probably bring it back...

Okay, so the hard drive on my laptop has been failing for months now, and is just getting worse... time for a new one. But I don't want to put Vista back on as the OS. However, my files are backed up regularly using Vista's Backup and Restore Center. This seems to break the files up into...

Newegg.com - SENNHEISER HD600 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Headphone Saw this on Fat Wallet. Thought I'd share!

For anyone who's interested in getting a protective hard-shell case for their 2Move or 3Move (assuming they're the same dimensions... and I think that they are), I spent some time on Ebay trying to find one that was the perfect size; I found this one. It just arrived earlier today, and it...

So... I woke up about an hour ago to the sound of someone yelling "Get away! It's gonna blow!", and then a bright flash of light and a loud explosion. I got out of bed and looked out my window to the parking lot of the fire station next door... wha? Two cars were engulfed in flames...

Well, I haven't been listening to music for a few days, mostly because it's been too hot and muggy in my room to be able to comfortably sit in my chair and relax. However, tonight was "cool" enough that I thought I might give it a try... only to find out that something's not right with my...
