    Upgrade from Andromeda 2019

    Been pretty happy with these phones, but am wanting to see if there's something better out there now. I listened to the Emerald Sea last year at AXPONA (Using my A&K SE180), but didn't hear enough of an improvement to make me want to upgrade. Same story with the Solaris and Trifecta. Any...

    Anyone having trouble with Roon after last update?

    I haven't seen much on the Roon forums, and can't seem to get anyone from the company to answer. After this most recent update, none of my USB DACs are seen by Roon. JRiver sees them as does Audiorvana, and I can play music with both of them. Anyone else?

    What's like a Chord Mojo, but better?

    Owned the Mojo on more than one occasion and it's a great unit, but I'm wondering what else is out there in the same price range that has more resolution and clarity? I like the small size and portability. This is only used for Campfire Andromeda IEM's so a megawatt amp isn't necessary...

    Dana Cable, but more affordable?

    The last time I owned the HE1000V2 I had a Lazuli Reference cable on them. Without a doubt the best cable for these headphones I ever tried. But the price, OMG. Is there another cable you've tried that has a similar sound signature, but at a more reasonable price?

    Any problems with Double Helix orders?

    I ordered a cable in Black Friday. Sent them a not asking how long it would take.... no response. I did not see the note in the website that said orders take 6-8 weeks to process. Decided I didn't want to wait that long, and cancelled the order. Now he gets back to me right away saying they be...

    Coming down from He1000 V2, what next?

    I sold my Hifiman HE1000V2 phones. I really liked them, but felt the bass could be fuller, and moving to a closed phone wouldn't be a bad idea anyway as I usually bugged my wife with the noise ;-) I'm looking for a cheaper headphone, that can be driven well with a Chord Hugo 2. I've tried the...

    I love my HE1000 V2, but...

    I need a fuller sound out of them. They are comfortable, detailed and overall great, but I want a fuller sound with some more bass emphasis. I have a Dana Cable on them, and am running them balanced from a Violectric V850/V280 combo. Not sure if a different amp or DAC would do the job or if I...

    Looking for different eartips for 64 Audio U10

    The U10 came with Comply tips, but they don't last long and are expensive. Any suggestions on something else? Maybe something like Sure Olives, but will fit the larger stem of my earphones? Anyone know where to get the large silicone tips with the red cores that Noble Audio uses? Those might...

    Noble owners: Have you found better eartips?

    I love my Noble IEM's but finding a good eartip is my goal. Of the supplied tips, only the largest grey tip with the red bore works out. I have bought some Comply tips, which sort of work, but are hard to install and still don't t feel totally secure. Plus if you don't do it right, the material...

    OK, Black Friday is quickly approaching - Which IEM's to buy?

    Looking to grab something on sale and I'm willing to spend up to 1K.    Considering: Noble Sage Noble Django Shure SE846 JH Audio JH13 V2 PRO   Customs or Universal fit, either would be fine. Thanks

    JH Audio driver failures?

    I've had my JH13's since the fall of 2012. I've had 2 driver failures so far. The first time was in 2014 with a channel imbalance due to a mid range driver that went bad.  At the moment they are back at JH with a high frequency driver failure and are due to be repaired this week.  Anyone else...

    Cardas A8 review

    Received the A8 last week and were broken in for the recommended 50 hrs.    Testing was done with a Calyx M player and a mixture of standard, high resolution and DSD files. My usual IEM’s are the much more expensive JH Audio 13 FreqPhase custom fit monitors.     Certainly better suited for...

    Headphone and speaker amp combo...whats out there?

    Hey gang,  I've decided I'd like to try a higher power amp to run my HE-560 phones, but it also needs speaker outputs for my desktop speakers (Paradigm Atom Monitor v7).   Currently I'm using my Bottlehead SEX amp for headphones and a NAD D 3020 for the speakers. I need more power for...

    Looking for a DAC/AMP for home & portable use

    Shopping for a portable DAC/AMP combo.  It needs to be able to take a digital signal from iPod Classic (30 pin), iOS 7 Lightening as well as USB from the computer.    So far I've found: Alpha Design Labs X1 24/192 Centrance HiFi M8 Cypher Labs Theorem 720   What else is out there?

    Here's what I need from my new headphone amp, hope you guys can help.

    I'm searching for my next headphone amp.  I'm looking to save some desk space so a DAC/Amp combo might be good. I'd also look at standard "desktop" amps since i have a nice DAC already that I don't particularly need to sell.  The amp can be tubed or transistor. It needs to have enough...

    JH Audio Freqphase, who's upgraded from the older models?

    I'm tempted to get a new pair with the new technology.  Has anyone upgraded?  What did you think?

    Not getting e-mails when I get a PM or someone responds to a thread I'm subscribed to.

    Anyone else? Been happening for a couple days.  Yes, I double checked my settings and they haven't changed.

    Balanced amp for HE-500 phones?

    I'm ready to get balanced. Looking for one that has enough power to run the Hifiman HE-500. Another benefit would be if it's quiet enough to also run my JH Audio 16's when people start yelling at me about how loud the open cans are.    Trying to keep it near or under 1K.  On the list of...
