Well, my UM2's were going on 10 years I believe, so I cannot complain. I surely got my monies worth out of them. As I haven't been around lately I am amazed at all the different companies making IEM's. It's mind boggling. Anyway, I need to replace my UM2's so I figured on buying another pair...

Well, bangraman, please, tell us how you really feel :) You are spot on though. Journalistic integrity is nearly non-existent, especially within the last ten years or so. While I have never been a fan of the media to begin with, I can barely stomach them now. And in regard to reviewing gear, I...

Well, I guess you could call me an old-timer. Over 10 years I believe. And on Headwize before that. Nothing stays the same. I miss the old-timers.

As I haven't read all 45 pages forgive me if this has been mentioned. While I applaud Shure for finally releasing what I hope to be a successful IEM for them, I am again perplexed. As a forever user of ER4P's and UM2's (almost always portably) I have always marveled at how people seemed to get...

Quote: I had the exact same amp. It was the best thing since sliced bread back then.

As of right now, I am updating my gear list that will be at the meet:   Violectric V90 Maverick D1 + with WE and GE tubes Cambridge DacMagic Azur 100 Audioengine D1 HE-400 iMac 21" (music server about 750GB)   As well as any other purchases I may make between now and then :)

No don't delete the thread. I am interested in knowing if there is any difference asI am looking to buy another Kingwa amp.  

I was searching for a more substantial box to enclose my cmoy and came across Serpac's website. Remember these? They were awesome. I remember getting what I believe was a MINT in a blue translucent plastic Serpac case. It was awesome. Basic toggle switches for everything. No LEDs needed or...

Quote: Having owned the HD650's now going on the seventh time, (I keep selling them thinking there is something better; which there isn't), I will say the HD650's like being paired with a warmer amp. I don't know if I'd consider the O2 and ODAC. While they are fantastic products, in the...

Here is the reply from Mr. Reim re: swapping opamps. Anyone care to comment as to whether this is scientifically sound advice? Thanks.   To your question.   I know that there is always some rumour about op-amp rolling but concerning our gear I never heard of somebody having been...

Quote: That's a great idea. However, as Todd ships internationally, and with the strength of the euro vs the dollar, it would make even more sense for our international members to throw their business Todd's way. Wouldn't you agree?

Not to hijack the thread, but since this is where all the smart people are, I figured I'd ask. Recently got a v90. As I've listened to it quite a bit with the stock opamps, I would like to experiment with a few of my fav's. Thing is, I don't know if they'll be compatible or not. Ideally the 637...

As I've listened to it quite a bit with the stock opamps, I would like to experiment with a few of my fav's. Thing is, I don't know if they'll be compatible or not. Ideally the 637, the 8620, and the 727, and maybe you all could recommend something new.   I am going to put my order in and I...
