I'm out of warranty and the one driver stopped working (no audio from left driver). Hifiman offered to replace it from v2 (what I have now) to v3 (current stock) for a fee with me returning the v2 to them. If it's a simple fix I prefer to do it myself and keep my v2. I'm 99% sure my amp...

I just decided to go for a splurge of an upgrade as I haven't done much for years with my setup. I've been using PEACE on the PC but my understanding is that with the new setup if I'm to do hardware MQA decoding on the DAC that means the signal has to go untouched to the DAC correct? That...

They are offering a free 90 day trial right now so I decided to give it a whril. I've been mostly using local FLAC and Spotify for my music listening. I'm more of a casual listener than critical but I do like listening on good equipment. With that said, is it placebo, or do I find most of the...

I must say I was pleasantly surprised to have so many great headphones to listen to. Most people were there for the speakers so it left the headphone stations pretty well open. Some of them I was surprised scoffed at the headphone stations and moving on to jam speakers. I love my speaker...

I've had both of these headphones for a LONG time (Fostex for about 5 years and the HD600 for over 10 years). The one I really need to fix because they don't work right is my Fostex TH900. I cannot get a seal on my head because of how loose the driver support has gotten. How do I fix this...

I'm looking to have more punch in my headphones. Currently the setup sounds "really good" to me. It's the following: AMP/DAC: Audio-GD FUN Headphones: Sennheiser HD600 & Fostex TH-900 Source: Computer (Spotify + FLAC Stuff) So, I've had this setup pretty much untouched since 2010/2011 (sans...

Currently I have an Audio-GD FUN I bought several years ago.  I use it primarily for PC FLAC/MP3 playback.  It's my speaker system for my desktop PC as I have no speakers connected to the computer (it's all headphone output).  Personally, I think the system sounds fine with the headphones I'm...

Just got my Fostex TH900 (zolkis modded) today off a member on this site.  Figured it'd be a good time to try and compare them to my other headphones and my theater room.  Before I continue I'll just say this, all of these are awesome at their price range at the end of the day you can't go wrong...

As title states, is there any good software out there that will allow you to equalize the source material on a windows PC?   I've used something called ViPER Audio for my Android device but was looking for something similar that works great on a computer.  Any thoughts?

I'm doing some homework looking around and I'm undecided on which model to go with.  I know the Denon I currently own was basically a rebranded Fostex headphone.  My DAC/AMP is an Audio-GD FUN hooked into a desktop PC.  I already have an open backed headphone when I want a different sound...

I've been having a slight rattle in my right speaker in the Denon AH-D7000 I own.  It's under higher bass applications but figured maybe I'll contact his services for a look at it with a possible upgrade to boot.  Has anyone done business with them lately?  I tried sending an e-mail this morning...

EDIT: Nevermind fixed it.  Please delete thread.  :)

What do you guys recommend for gym usage?   I'm not looking to break the wallet (max $100).  I currently use Denon AH-C560R but they don't stay in my ear very well. What I use now are these and they don't stay in at all when lying down to do weights or any heavy cardio activity...

I wasn't sure what section to put this in but I wanted to run it by you guys.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (phenomenal phone with a not so phenomenal sound system).  It really won't play loud and with my buds it's "okay" but try running say my HD600 headphones and they sound lifeless.  Now I was...

First off...yes I've searched the forums already.   I'm looking for a new IEM.  I don't like the fact that mine hisses away a lot at certain sources (likely due to the low resistence 16ohm nature).   So I want...   A) something that requires a little more drive B) universal fit (I...

I'm doing some homework on which portable amp to check out.  Primary use from a portable standpoint is either my cell phone (Galaxy S2) or my laptop.  If I run it through the laptop I'd benefit from the USB on the Predator that's missing from the Hornet.  Is that worthy of a $100 difference...

I've done some homework and found that my phone (Galaxy S2) will not let you easily override the DAC in the phone so I'm forced with analog out.  With that said, I want a bit more power available on hand but I want something small enough that I can keep both the amp and the phone (it's rather...

Which cell phone provider is the best and why?  Forgetting what phone(s) each one has which has the best service and prices? I'm thinking of switching right now but not sure to who... 1.) AT&T - only major GSM provider but patchy service at best.  I'm grandfathered in on their "unlimited"...

As the title states how do you get it done?    I have 2 PC's and want it done on both.  I got it working on my study room PC as it's got an external sound card but my HTPC uses an HDMI output off an ATI 5570 video card.  Is there something I can install in windows to get it done?  Thanks

Closed vs. Open   Sennheiser vs. Denon.   I just picked up the Sennheiser and figured I'd give them a fair comparison to Denon's AH-D7000.  Up until the Denon's I was an open-can type of guy (I've had a few Grado in the past and the HD595 from Sennheiser).  I now wanted to get a decent...

How much improvement are you getting when going with say a Cardas cable over a stock cable?  I'm looking to pick up a pair of these cans as my second pair for classical music and vocals.  I'm just not certain which one to look for.  What's the going price that's acceptable for these cans these...

Found this posted elsewhere and thought it was an interesting thought.  What's your take on it?   The 4 Stages of A/V Equipment Ownership Stage 1 - Enthusiasm: Wow, night and day. This is what I was looking for. Don't know why anyone would ever need to spend more. Stage 2 - Realism...

My top pair I use right now are the Denon AH-D7000.  They're great for just about all music (including classical) but I sometimes see myself using the HD595's I have every so often to play some classical pieces.  So the simple question is for classical music (no jazz I don't listen to that)...

Figured I give a little back to the community.  I posted this back in 2007 on a few other message boards but since I'm now a more frequent member I figured I post it here.  Perhaps this was mentioned before in the past on head-fi and if so I apologize.  Anyways, I know most people are fans of...

Okay guys I'm thinking of splurging on these bad boys.   http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page5.html   First and foremost I just got an Audio GD-FUN (Version A -- AD1852, DIR9001) and it seems it's got more than enough power for my HD595 (Sennheiser) cans right now so I'm sure it can power the...
