Introduction     Presently, I think I am the only Head-fier that has both the Woo WA5 and Eddie Current 4-45 in the house. I have had these amps here for about a month or two.   I am writing this post because I want to write down my impressions before I sell the amp. If I re-purchase a Woo...

I'm going back to school soon and I wanna waste some money! Unfortunately, god has decided to go against my resolute will to buy my dream headphone. I figured out that no one sells SA5000's here, I missed out a local HD650 2nd hand deal and that I'd need to audition their coloration before...

Hey all HK headfi'ers, dim ar nei dei? I have an ipod and a pair of shures I'd like to sell, but I have no idea where to sell it in HK. It must be in HK coz I need to exchange cash and goods in person, I dont have a credit card and overseas bank transfers are expensive, ask my EMU 1212m...

SHOULD I SELL my ipod? I have a 40G ipod that was given as a gift, and I live in a place where commuting does not take more than an hour, and for the past and next year, I will not commute daily AT ALL (since I live on campus). I currently use the ipod as an extra harddrive for backup. I...

Hi, I'm wondering which full sized cans in the 'below electrostatic class' generally provide more DETAIL (I know generally IEM's have good detail), speed and attack than the e3c or similar IEM's? Good frequency extension is also a must. All of this assuming it is paired with a good amp that...

Alright, I'm real broke and I need good speakers. What a paradox! The most I could pay is $50 US. Yeah, for "a bit more" ($99 + 2,000 miles of shipping) I could get an Athena ASB1, but truth is I ONLY WISH I have a bit more in my pocket. So I guess I would have to stick with PC speakers...

Yes, I know this topic had come out quite a lot of times, still..... I need a speaker system for my E-MU 1212m, can be either PC 2.1 or 5.1 speakers, or a bookshelf. Bookshelf would have to be mounted as there isn't enough desk space. I live in a corner of a room shared between 4...

I haven't been around for half a year now, it's simply shocking to see so many new faces around already, this place is GROWING way fast! I wonder if you guys have your tastes in headphones changed any bit. Anyways, after 1 year ownership of my Shure's, a year and half (or more) of the HD497...

I wonder if any of you have a music guide / book / reference book for popular and rock music at home. Sometimes I want to read about people I heard on the radio yesterday, such as Jose Feliciano or John Denver, (I'm new to soft rock, and what a huge genre it is) without going to the now horrible...

For graphical and web design on a mere 1024x768, and tons of web surfing without gaming needs, what mouse pad do you think would hit the sweet spot? Currently I don't use my Logitech optical with a mouse pad or mouse skatez at all, and the gliding really sucks. It's like they're stuck to the...

OK, nothing's really unaffordable after head-fi I've been looking to upgrade my crap Nokia 8210's for a long time, they suck at every aspect I can find except for their great interface and simplistic looks. The least clogged up I can find. But they get real hot (like a pre-explosion...

I've put an iPod mini in my hands last week, and I wasn't so impressed by its interface. But then, people told me that the interface was smooth and quick to use after i learn it. So, I guess the proper wording I should use to explain what i mean by "USABILITY", is the quickness and total...

So these Mini's are now going around $200, is it time for me to drop some bucks on them? I'm not aiming at taking a lot of songs for travelling, as my listening habit is to bring 10 CDs (tops) for even a trip. I travel in the subway or buses for the longest commuting time, but again, the...

Two questions, First of all, are there any sites that give a total dummy guide on how to build a speaker from scratch? It's gotta be able to help me build a speaker with high quality as well. Second, my budget for all the parts would be no more than $300. Would you recommend me buy a...

I have only listened to two of King Crimison's more recognized albums "In The Court Of King Crimison" and "Discipline". Both albums differ very greatly in mood, so much that I just don't feel that they're the same band....(are there some sort of reshuffling of members on Discipline?) I'd...

Where's the Diminishing Returns in DAPs now? I want to get a cheap and very portable mp3 player, but I can't decide how much dollars to put into it, because I don't know their value and returns. Putting $300 into a portable is not so reasonable now, as I have tons more to buy. But would...

Portable Sources Question 1: Just a bit interested to know : What's the cheapest solution for listening to music (CDs to mp3s) on the run? I travel by subway to work for 40 minutes everyday. I'll use a cheapo e3c, which I don't suppose would benefit very much from source. (Or you can say...

OK, I've written a 2 page long impression on the e3c and accidently pushed the back button. I'm PISSED! Grrrr... So the main deal's that I've bought the e3c's for $210. Just FYI that you might have thought when reading the title, "What? e3c's couldn't kill your wallet! It's for $120 at...

Intro: I'm living in a dorm soon, I don't suppose sharing my extensive music knowledge and good taste would hurt at all . Just kidding...it's just that headphone listening would make me look like a dork, where everyone else just wouldn't do something so unsociable as that. That's the...

Dear Grado users, if I really like the SR 225's, do you suppose I'd like the ety ER4S/P's? Note that the Shure e5s, e3s are out of my price range and comfort is not an issue, as I won't be using them doing sports or walking, mostly for listening at home. So would it be a worthy upgrade over the...

So, how's the comparisons after the SoCal meet? I've seen the saddening truth that the HSDP beats the E-MU stock, but by how much? Also, how does the E-MU stock compare to CDPs in the level of eg. those around the NAD CDP's? And how does the modded E-MU compare with the Meridians...

Grrrr.... My Sennheiser HD497s cables got broken 3 weeks ago, so I borrowed my friend's Grado SR 225's for a full 3 week audition at home, and got totally used to it's good sound. Ironically a month or two ago, I've posted here how I felt both headphones to be similar in sound (the 225's...

Postponed?! Current plans: At Polytechnic University, LATE-August - Early Sept. The Other Late August Meet Here's a link to the Chinese HK forums. You'll find another meet on 29th August by Mingo. Our Original Poly U Meet I'm not sure if Gino or Permonic wants to organize...

I spent half a day in Shum Shui Po, Hong Kong today, and what an experience! (Especially how my shirt got stuck to my back by goey sweat under the heat and humidity) First destination was a famous Tube Amp showroom that sells Houston and Duntonic intergrated amplifiers. Not famous for the...

So are we having the comparison tomorrow / the day after tomorrow (at the meet)? Very anxious eh?
