Schiit Bifrost 4490 impressions
Hi Tuneslover. I want to self-install the 4490, and although it does look simple I'd like to make sure I'm undertaking the change correctly. Can you tell me where the pictorial guide you mentioned is located please? Many thanks- Billyb52

Great review. Mine are still burning in, but I love them so far, and in theory they're just going to get better...- Billyb52

ZMF x Vibro & ZMF Blackwood Discussion Thread.
I'm very interested in buying a pair of Blackwoods, but I'm a little unsure about the cable and ZPEX options. Can anyone give a comparison? For example, is the extra $ for the OCC Braided worth it? I'd appreciate any comments or views. Thanks.- Billyb52

Schiit Owners Unite
I just took delivery of a Lyr2 / Bifrost Uber USB combo. This is to replace my Fiio E17/Matrix M-Stage setup. Wow, what a difference. I'm not as adept as others on this forum at describing sound, but I can say that I'm sat here with a big smile on my face, skipping from song to song like a kid...- Billyb52

Matrix M-Stage DAC to replace Fiio E17 for use with Matrix M-Stage Amp, or something else?
Hi All, I'm looking for my next upgrade. I currently use Sony Laptop (mostly Spotify) -> Fiio E17 (USB DAC) -> Matrix M-Stage Amp -> AKG K550/AKGK701/Senn HD600. I'm pretty happy with the sound of the above setup, but of course I'm always looking for that extra quality level. The...- Billyb52

What was your first headphone purchase after coming to Head-Fi?
After a period of indecision I bought Denon Ah-D2000's, Senn HD600, Matrix M-Stage and a pair of Senn HD429 to replace some very cheap Sony's for when I'm in situations where I don't want to use expensive phones. I love the HD600's, but not sure about the Denon's, which I may sell soon...- Billyb52

Very annoyed.....
....that I can't get to this meet. I'd absolutley love to hear some of this amazing kit. It would also have given me the opportunity to sell / trade my Sony MDR-Z1000's. I can't make it owing to various other commtments though. I'm really p'd off! Hope everyone has a great day.- Billyb52

Hello, I'm very interested in this event, but am looking to keep travel expenses to a minimum. Is anyone travelling from the Leeds area who might be prepared to share petrol costs?- Billyb52

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Hi all, I know that the following question has been asked many times in this forum, but I think my version is a little different as I now include a couple of fairly new sets of phones in my comparison list. I've been lurking around this forum for some time, amassing information and views, but...- Billyb52
