    Qinpu Q-6/Q-2 or Audioengine A2 for desktop setup

    Same price if you include the A2 stands, Q-6 have stands built-in. I'm drawn to the Q-6 because of it's psuedo-dipole pattern (I'm a big Magnepan/open baffle fan). A2 seems to be the tried-and-true choice.   Which would you choose and why?

    Suggestion for Head-Fi'r who prefers ADDIEM over CK10 and MTPC.

    Update. Just got the RE-272s today. No burn-in yet, but these sound fantastic. I'm not going to bore anyone with a mini-review, but these just do so many things right. To my ears, these are just far superior to the CK10s. All the detail of the A-T, but with better bass both in quality and...

    Bookshelves speaker to improve imaging?

    Quote: He's right. I currently have a set of Magnepan MC-1's with a pair of 15" open baffle subs. There are moments, listening to well-recorded material, when elements of the music seem to hover out in the room with us.

    I'm gonna throw the Hifiman Re-272 into the discussion. The thought of an easily-driven top-tier Hifiman IEM is intriguing.

    Quote: I'm hesitant to try these, as they are often compared to the CK10.

    The Phonaks look interesting. Is the remote just a single button, no volume control? Thanks for the replies.

    Suggestion for Head-Fi'r who prefers ADDIEM over CK10 and MTPC.

    I've had the ADDIEM for quite a while now, longer than I've been a member here. After upgrading my home full-size setup, I decided it was time for a good portable set. I first tried the MTPC. I got them refurb, so I figured it was a small gamble. Not my cup of tea at all. Flabby bass...

    Apple TV 2 Coaxial Digital Output Mod.

    http://www.hackint0sh.org/f286/192941.htm   Thinking about trying this on my 2nd Gen Apple TV. Are Toslink and Coaxial digital signals "interchangeable" like this?

    So the Refurb MTPC just arrived...

    I'm hoping they send me the Control-Talk version on accident.

    Recommendations for portable setup. Are customs for me?

    Looking to pair a good set of IEM's with my new iPad 2 for travel. Isolation is important. Currently, I have a set of HE-6's at home and a set of Fostex T50RP's at work. Right now I have the Apple BA for travel, which are decent, I guess. I just borrowed a set of Shure SCL-5's from a friend, and...

    Need help understanding planar cans like LCD-2 and HE-5

    My HE-6's, properly driven, have the best bass I've ever heard. That goes for headphones and speakers.

    Virtue Audio-anybody hip to them yet??

      Very curious as to how this sounds. I like the One.2 so much with my HE-6's, a Virtue amp was my first thought when I ordered my Magnepans.

    Magnepan rig for HT/Music.

    So I take it that the panels must be a fair distance from the wall to sound right?
