Hi there, Anyone know where one could get a Westone 3 and a Westone 4 recabled? One-sided loose connection on both pairs of earphones needing repaired... I also remember seeing conversions to MMCX or other interchangeable connector, is there anywhere that does either of these...

So I found an old DR-S4 headphone with the leather headband and pads surprisingly supple after years of sitting in an attic, and thought that it would be a good opportunity to rehouse my PortaPro drivers.       As you can see, the drivers are pretty small in the enclosure, but I am...

I am taking a step up from my Behringer MS40s that conked out on me.   I have come to the conclusion that Swans M200 MKII are the right choice for me. Here in the UK, they set me back £299 from a dealer.   Is there anything better in this pricerange that I'm missing?   They need to...

I have not found anyone with even a 50% overlap in my music taste - so this is a SETI-scale search for a human being with a similarly eclectic taste. Even if you don't have similar taste, I am sure you will find something you will like from the artists I have listed. If you want to talk music...

Okay, just picked up a Vestax PDT-5000 for £30...which I understand is a great bargain. Came with a P-mount Stanton 500 and an Ortofon Concorde Pro S too, though the styli for both of them are absolutely knackered. I have a 2nd hand Pro-ject Debut II at my parents place, hooked up to a...

Sorry if this question has been asked before but...   is the iPod 240gb the only option?   My library is actually around 300gb (though some of it is 24bit/96khz which has to be downsampled for the iPod). Is there any other player that can hold that much stuff?   I'm not interested...

Is absolutely absolutely phenomenal.   My W3 started cutting out on the right hand side late last year, and I couldn't find my receipt. Buying a high end IEM is a huge deal for me, as ~$350 is a lot of money for a student. There is no way I could buy a replacement one.   I emailed...

Got a Pro-ject Debut II second-hand, and it doesn't have a built-in preamp.   Was wondering if there is a one-stop solution for my living room with a 5.1 surround + phono input + wireless rear speakers out there.   If not, I am going to buy that TC-750LC and repair my existing amplifier...

Just got these in the mail, absolutely loving them. Extremely musical and unbelievable value (my W3 are broken, and these are a stopgap). They are also my first pair of headphones ever! Okay so I've done the Kramer mod, and it's teleported them into another realm of fidelity. Does the number...

Okay, I have the Behringer MS-40 jacked into my macbook pro using optical out. I get great sound but I have always pined for a subwoofer to complete the low end. Now I am getting a Kenwood subwoofer, I wonder how I am going to connect it to the Behringers. Will I need to buy an amp? If so, I'd...

Asking for a friend, in the $50 ballpark. Just for computer multimedia whatnot, what's the best value these days?

Pretty much what the title says, for use with the W3s, including shipping! Thanks.

Okay, I've got a broaaadddd selection of musical genres that I listen to and I noticed that there's a wide variety of listeners on here...so in the off chance that someone has similar taste, could you recommend me something FRESH? Or perhaps even some genres that I should check out? Some of...

Okay, pretty noob question but... I have a pair of W3s along with a 160gb ipod classic, but definitely can't afford to buy an amp at the moment. My question is whether I can buy this and use it directly without an amp. I have a volume attenuator that came with the W3s, so that would be my...

Hi, sorry if this seems like a stupid question but... I know that you can wear the W3s behind your head with the wire running down your back, I recently tried this and found it very comfortable. However, how do you wear it like this if you carry a backpack? The backpack compresses the wire and...

Just looking at my new W3s and some of the earphones I've owned in the past, all the time the wire seems to start twisting/coiling. I've read about a few instances where the W3 wire unbraided irreversibly too. I'm putting them inside my 3-inch oval Audio Technica case now. So my question...

On my CK9s, there is a tiny hole on the driver enclosure. If I closed this hole (say with tape or a teeny bit of blutack), what would happen to the sound quality/isolation? Is the purpose of the hole to equalise pressure across the armature? or am I talking out of my ass

Does anyone know a place where I can audition a range of IEMs? Was thinking things like the high-end range, since I really am curious about the difference between my ATH-CK9s and let's say...SE530/TF10/IE8/UM3? I can't really afford expensive IEMs, but if the difference is night/day then I may...

Well, I don't have enough money to fork out for all the different IEMs I want to try, and there isn't really a good place to audition a range...so I was wondering if anyone can weigh in and compare the following earphones with the ATH CK9. Shure SE530 Triple fi. 10 Q-Jays

Hi guys, I've been having this problem for a while. My right ear canal is producing very hard, crusty ear wax in an area on the inside of the canal. The affected area is only about 2-3mm in diameter, and I am able to remove the crusty wax after taking a shower. The wax reforms every night, and...

Hi guys, the cable on my ck9 has just started to twist a little bit at the jack...is there anyway to untwist it safely? And is there any way to prevent to wire from twisting and coiling like this? Thanks.

Hi guys, I just bought a CK9 and was wondering how I could improve the sound quality/fit. I love these earphones for the warm, neutral sound they provide. The bass is there, but recessed and controlled. I like it. However, the fit is a bit of a problem, with the earphones being a bit...

Okay I hate to start another thread like this when there are already about a billion of them on this forum. But I am in a dilemma and need answers to a few specific questions. 1. I like the sound signature of the AT CK7 iems, but I wouldn't mind a tad more bass, as long as it is punchy and...

Hi, im looking for an IEM costing ~$100 usd, but it has to be damn durable! I have owned the ath ck7, zen aurvana, and both have let me down in durability (although i liked their sound). I have also heard the akg 324p, and liked that sound signature. so are there any recommendations?
