Well after a saga with FedEx who after several failed attempts and subsequent severe weather were telling me mid-late next week due to backlog. I gave up and drove the 30 miles to the depot and collected my F3's rather than wait any longer :D I'm not an audio reviewer, and I'll leave the...

Just got a FedEx update, out for delivery tomorrow... but no one will be home :/, so I may or may not have my F3 tomorrow :/ (if they post it through / get a neighbor to sign) Edit: well I got home around 16:00, no calling card, no parcel. Depot closed at 18:00, and there is no update on...

Wow this thread was busy today O.o, haven't had time to read the full back-scroll yet as I just got home. Until my F3 turn up, I don't have any 2-pin headphones, and my order on the site still shows MMCX, but I did ask Piotr to change it to a 2pin recessed socket around when I paid so we shall...

I quite clearly stated that I'm a tight git :D, As for belief in cables. I'm skeptical I believe that people believe cables make a difference, and that there is no strong empierical evidence either way. As for the prices in my mind cables are a consumable, and any consumable that costs over...

I was pointing out why I thought itsfleur replied to ostewart with the word lol, but since you brought it up. Given the opportunity to try the Ares / Eros cables, I would if not just to form my own more informed opinion. That said I have no intention of purchasing such a cable myself (tight...

I would assume that like many people (myself included) (s)he is skeptical of cables and any impact they may or may not have on the sound.

So many cool designs, mine are going to look sooooooo boring in comparison :p

Yeah I'm lucky I got my impressions before the holidays because January has sucked, mild case of the flu got better for about a week and now this cold needs to bugger off before my F3 arrive!

Damn, now I'm going to have to ask about custom colours for my Fibae 3's, although the impressions only landed in Poland a few hours ago so plenty of time.

Finally received the Starlight Amp it had been stuck at my neighbours for just over a week while they were on holiday :(.   Running it on Low output resistance which gives around 500mW at 50Ohm's. I'll be changing the output opamps for quad NJM4556's which should give about 1000mW at 50Ohm.  ...

I ordered the Built L2 Starlight with some extras for $226US including international shipping. In kit form it would have been $197

Well work paid me early, so Project Starlight Ordered after a little discussion with Jeremey over at Garage1217.

Yeah, it was harder than I expected due to the crampt confines within the housing. I learnt a valuable lesson dont solder interconnects on the kitchen worktop without a workstation, you get in serious trouble when you burn the worktop, and ofcourse you burn yourself. Ok I've had a look at the...

  Cable - I made it myself from some Starquad, when i realised the Fostex cable is by default 1/4 inch after the canns shipped.     Fearless, ill check out the Audio GD and others etc price wise, if one is cheaper to pickup than a Project Sunrise II i'll probably go for it, otherwise it's...

I also received a package this morning, and having just arrived home from work and dug out the cable I made during the shipping wait :D   I was expecting customs fees, but they were marked up at cost rather than the modified cost (Nice one)!   Shiny.... Microphones are a bit annoying...

cost for the most part. Lamp is £100 PSII is 240$ + import duty (£180)

I got my shipping notification on Friday, it's currently waiting to fly over the big green by the looks of USPS's website.   @ Amps, i'm going to try with my E7+E9 combination firstly, but i've got my eyes on an Oamp, or potentially Project Sunrise II from Garage1217 in the event the current...

The best cans I could have hoped to find for my original budget would have been some ATH M50's which these apparently smoke. (And I didn't find them comfortable when I tried them on.). So my wallet is hurting (a little more now that I added the gold rejack) but payday is only 4days off so I...

Quote:   Thanks Tiemen, Long time lurker on Head-Fi just never really felt the need to post until today. Got my FiiO E5, Shure SE215's + ACS Custom sleeves based on reviews here (looking to upgrade the IEM when I get the motorbike back on the road),  FiiO E7 DAC + E9 Combo for the...

Been eyeing these up for a while now, now that my venerable and heavily modded HX900 have decided to implode I have the excuse I needed!   Bit the bullet for a base kit bit outside my budget, especially with the £28 import duty when it lands in the UK, but reading the reviews it would appear...
