Title says it all. My Shures just died (crappy cables) and I'd like to replace them with something a little less bright and with replaceable cables. My main concern is the quality of vocals as well as good isolation. I'm going with universals because I can't afford the really good customs...

I was lucky enough to get in on the Massdrop for the UERMs recently. Also, I'm in the Socal area so I got to have my impressions done at UE and they got started on my pair earlier this week! Stoked to try them out..but I'm going to need an AMP/DAC solution to use them at home and possibly for...

hi, got my pair of ms1's last friday and i was really suprised about the sound. i was just wondering, how i could just improve that experience due to so many readings through threads about these headphones. is it possible to make them circumaural? what else could i do?

Hi All,   I have been very pleased with my current portable rig - an Ipod Classic 160GB, Ray Samuels SR-71B or Pico Slim and Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo using UM Miracle earphones. However, it has been some time since I put this rig together and I would appreciate any recommendations for...

This is the second pair of iGrado that I’ve gotten as my first pair developed a defect with the right driver where it would cut in and out. In the end, it just gave up and stopped working altogether. Luckily this pair did not have that same problem. Major kudos to TTVJ for getting this second...

I have had a pair of Joe's "improved" earpads for a couple of weeks. I thought I would post a little information for anyone who may be interested.   As far as how they sound, simply put, consider getting two pair. The HP1000 is soooo dependent upon the earpads. The replacement ones offered...

As the year draws to a close, we have news of another new portable headphone amp, this time from Cypher Labs. http://www.cypherlabs.com/product/algorhythm-duet/

what are your guys thoughts on this amp http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Rechargeable-HiFi-Tube-value-vacuum-headphone-amplifier-amp-battery-SIL-/110925530276?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item19d3ad44a4 I almost want to buy one out of curiosity alone. but I know I probably should...

I have 580s powered by a PiMeta at the moment, and they sound way too laid back & boring. What are some aggresive & good phones? Thanks!

Hey guys, Im new here but Ive been a sound addict for years and a compulsive shopper for expensive audio goodies. I recently purchased the 535s, and I fell in love with a buddy's pico amp. I couldnt believe the thickness it bought to my IEMs. Im ready to pull the trigger on a portable amp and...

The TTVJ Slim looks like a great portable amp, but it seems to be mostly directed at powering IEM's. I was reading through some older threads and a couple of people mentioned that they tried plugging the SR60i into it and that it sounded good, but did not go into detail.   In particular, I...

I'm a newb to amps in general but have been reading diligently the various posts on TTVJ slim and Headstage Arrow 12HE.  My setup is my iphone 4 -> TTVJ Slim -> Grado se325i 50th anniversary vs. Etymotic ER4P (with "S" cable when listening to jazz/classical).  I've been using primarily apple...

Hey everyone. So I have a TTVJ Slim coming very soon and I am planning on using it with my iPod Classic (older version, originally called the 'Video'). I have seen a few threads on it but only a couple of pages impressions. I have a quick question of my own.   1. I will use this mainly for...

  Alright, before I begin with my impressions, here is a quick specifications sheet on the Slim:   • Price: $349 • Frequency response: DC to >100kHz, ±1dB; 20Hz - 20kHz ±0.1dB @ 1V out • Maximum output: 3.29V RMS into 150Ω; 2.14V RMS into 33Ω • Output source impedance: Approximately 2Ω...

So I got my first pair of Grado's yesterday after deciding it;s time to take a break from listening to high end IEM's and get me a pair of decent cans. I usually amp everything I have but was wondering if the SR80i's will have any benefit whatsoever. My setup is an iPod Nano 2G to LOD to amp. My...

  I am having a problem.  The input and output jacks on the ttvj slim are on opposite sides of the amp.  This causes it to become unusable for my needs.  I feel i jumped the gun in asking for a return from tod within 5 minutes of opening the box and seeing this.  This is 100% my fault for not...

Title says it all, but I'll elaborate. I love my current portable setup, except for one thing. I only have 1 hand free because the other is holding my iPod classic and TTVJ Slim amp. I know I could put on a playlist and put them in a pocket of my backpack, but that doesn't suit the way I like to...

Just got TTVJ slim and am using it with my ipod classic via line-out. Are there any cases out there that would fit the ipod classic/ttvj combo without looking too ugly and breaking the bank?   Thanks

Title says everything. Is it a good combo?   thank you very much.

Which is the best amp for techno, dub-step, pop, hip-hop, rap and other mainstream music.   Which do you think is the best for all genres?

Any recommendations on what player I should get? I want to use the TTVJ slim with it.

I want to get an amp that can last me for a long time so I've already narrow my choices down to these 3.   Which of these 3 goes best with JH16?

Hi guys, My TTVJ Slim I bought off a Headfier on this site has just arrived and unfortunately there is no USB charging cable with it....wasn't mentioned in the advert. Does anybody know what the connection is on the TTVJ Slim? Is it a Mini USB connection? If so can I just buy any old USB to...

Not normally being one to start threads asking for info that's probably already been divulged, I've gone against my better instincts and asked this: How much of an audible improvement could I expect to hear, particularly in areas such as soundstage, imaging and extension at both ends? I'm not...

  ALO Audio has been a long time cable maker and amplifier producer, and is well known for one of the first (and best sounding) portable tube amplifiers to ever come to the market, the Continental. While the Continental was a breathtaking amplifier in its prime, it has run low on production...
