Really, we need this feature badly. I have a little inkling that it's turned off for certain users and not for others, as |joker| can update his big IEM and portable headphone review  threads perfectly fine. If Jude is concerned about abuse, there wasn't any abuse before the change so why would...

Ok, yes, I'm bandwagon-ing off the 'What do your kids think of Audiophilia' thread but really, what do your parents think of your little hobby?   For me, they know they can't say anything about my audio expenses as they had quite the vinyl collection themselves!

Thank you Jude for creating and maintaining this website! A lot of us the knowledge gained from here and use our knowledge of specific parts of audio to extend and teach knowledge onto others. Also thank you for creating a highly functional website that a lot of websites don't offer, like a...

I am not BSing you!   US Only and pick-up only from a GuitarCenter store AFAIK (they will ship it to the store of your choice).   http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ultrasone-Closed-PROline-650-Circumaural-Headphones-240532-i1598003.gc?source=4WFRWXX&CAWELAID=614896137   View in Internet...

That word being 'Audiophile'. Why? Because it conjures up far too much negativity from Average Joe tbh (so be it honestly, some of it is justified) and is often far too much linked to the shady snake oil aspect of it. And by the way, yes, with the same exact thing, we change our opinions based...

So I have friend so is in need of some headphones. They would like to buy the headphones first and then think about amplifications and source later.   What is paramount for them is comfort, thus why Grado is out of the question and why Ultrasone is borderline in this aspect thus why I'm...

Really? Did I just do that? That said, gees, I hate bias in audio. Bias goes both ways people. both the fanboism and the blind hating.   * Blatant attention grab*   http://www.stereophile.com/content/monster-cable-press-conference   Stereophile's coverage of the audio parts of CES is...

So, what albums, in your opinion, deserve a proper non-Loudness War'ed remaster but haven't been remastered as of yet?   For me, the low-fi yet so good   Wu-Tang Clan 'Enter the 36 Chambers'.   Low-fi yet musically yet one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. I would love to...

I'm wondering, why hasn't this been thought of yet!? Surely...the wooden shell would help out the inherit flaws of BA being timbre and bass reproduction while the BA or even better, a moving armature driver would help balance out the v-shapedness of wooden acoustics.... I would love to see a...

So, I'm buying a new source but I have a dilemma.   One uses a better quality DAC while the other measures better with RMAA measurements using the same sampling rate. Which source should I go for?

So what products offers this? Looking for the cheapest possible as I'm only going to use the Dolby Headphone for transport reasons for gaming as I want to transport out the DSP. AFAIK, Dolby Headphone can only be used out of the headphone out.   That or if there's a program / plugin in...

Power's out in a lot of places in the city, but lucky my part of town still has power. I got friends that lives a couple of kms/ miles from me and their power is out. (I guessing my part of town still has power cuz it's an industrial area thus I'm guessing the pioritisisation of electricity and...

So what do you think are factors when considering headphones or listening to headphones that people neglect?   Mine:   Timbre Soundstage depth (soundstage is more than just left to right) Sub bass (below 60hz) Synergy (a big one tbh) Earpads (In in-ears, the eartips can make a...

They're $180 at Dell.com at the moment. Just a heads up.   http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A3485280&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=SS&cid=27530&lid=627063

So, you guys and gals being audiophiles and all, how often do you see your audiologist for whatever reason? For me, it'll be every 6 months from now to get my earcanals professionally cleansed :) Highly recommend it. It is the most effective and safest way to clear earwax. You will be amazed...

I was just wondering, using the your 'Build a headphone graph' tool, why there isn't a beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm measurement, particularity as you of course do sell it. The 600ohm is noted to have different qualities to the other DT880's as well. If you could add it, that would be fantastic as...

How do you change your forum signature cuz I can't find where to change it anywhere!

So what do I mean by 'unconventional'? By 'unconventional', I mean the use of other Audio Visual products intended for other uses to be purely used as a DAC. See, I'm investigating the use of old MiniDisc players to be purely used as a DAC. Why? cuz well, even low-end Minidisc players can be...

So unfortunately my FX500's has suffer a snap in the cable near the right side connection today = rather annoying but hey, good excuse to push up that upgrade I was planning anyway. I was planning to to upgrade to FX700s, however the Ortofon e-Q7 has intrigued me. I love the bass of the...

As the thread starter, you had the ability to change the thread title which was useful in some cases. Either I can't find it or it's not there like it was when it was enabled with vbulletin. Also special characters are screwy. Also I do feel that more people would read the guides if they were...

Honestly, when configured properly, it is the best crossfeed application I have come across, both on PC or a portable device, both software and hardware implementations. It images nearly / just as well as decent speakers and that's saying something due to the limitations of headphones in...

Considering they paid to have a dedicated sub-forum of their own, shouldn't they feature more prominently in the main page setup? Also, as with Firefox, Google Chrome spellcheck doesn't work with right click on Head-fi.

If you were going to put electrostatics, such as STAX, with a dynamic equivalent i.e. 'if this model of electrostatics were a dynamic headphone, it would be ______' what would it be and why? I'd love to read from people who've owned / own both and also from people who've had this 'dilemma'...

so any suggestions out there to tempt my fancy? I prefer it to be a 'real' as possible: i.e. as much detail and transparency as possible. e.g. If the recording is crap, then it should sound crap without the DAC making it 'more musical' etc... Space is a non-issue. Used/New? non-issue. I...

So, how did your audiophilia or interest in sound start off? Did you catch the Head-fi bug? Di you catch it from your parents? Have you spread your internest in audio and appreciation of good sound onto others? For me, it's only just me but my little bro, who's 16, has caught interest, and...
