    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    I'm trying to decide if using this player for the FLAC files I have will yield better sound quality than what I'm currently getting. I'm currently using a Cowon S9 and sometimes an iPhone 5 as a reference. I do use FLAC for some of the media on the Cowon S9.   I realize the full potential of...

    HOW TO REPAIR YOUR DENON D-2000, D-5000, and D-7000 HEADPHONES - If Your Cup Has Fallen Off The Gimbal

    I bought my replacement parts from Lawton Audio. The prices were comparable to other online vendors and he at least has it all in stock. I saved myself at least $40 bucks fixing it myself but I did need to by an additional 4mm nut driver that I bought as part of this kit   For those of you...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM On-Ear Contest

    If I can be vain for a moment, the beautiful Sennheiser Momentum's leather head band match the look of my brown leather jacket, my brown leather belt  and a few of my dress and casual shoes as well. So winning this pair will allow me to dress appropriately and prevent me from being laughed at by...

    Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R

    Quote: I bought the same one to use with my MDR-1R since I needed a longer cable than the one supplied with the headphones. There hasn't been any difference I could detect in improving or worsening the sound. So in my book a win-win. I'm sure the BTG cables are good too as I was checking...

    Brief Odac impressions

    I'm using my mobo's USB 3.0 port and I haven't noticed the distortion yet on Windows 8. Not sure that has anything to do with it but I thought I mention that in case someone else is experiencing this situation.

    Brief Odac impressions

    I'm running Win8 with ODAC (built by Audio Poutine) with no problems.   If you right-click the Volume icon and select Playback devices, you should see Speakers\ODAC if Windows recognizes the ODAC. My ODAC was picked up automatically once I plugged in the USB. You might want to try a...

    Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R

    I bought mine for about $245 USD at the Sony Store in Causeway Bay, HK. (Not the easiest store to find but if  you ask around someone will direct you there like they did with me.) I've had them for over a month but haven't really had chance to do much critical listening to them.   Having...

    Cowan S9 and a Portable Amp Your Thoughts

    I have a Cowon S9 and also had the impression that it does not require an amp. Of course I can not leave good enough alone so I had to get a portable amp to prove it to myself. My one excuse is that I own a pair of RE0 and these have been known to require an amp to draw out the bass from them...

    randomly jumping to bottom of page

    Not to beat the dead horse, but this is happening to me enough that I had to go search for a thread on this and found that I have company in my misery.

    James444's IEM giveaway thread (competition has ended - see post #344 and #354 for winners!)

    First thanks for your generosity and indeed a great way to celebrate an anniversary.   Having read about ATH-CK100 the I am very keen to compare them to my RE-0 as it seems like they would have all the qualities I like about the RE-0 but with more bass.   And the JVCs are just sweet...

    Amp needed for RE0 Headphones

    I'm using the RE0 (original ones) with a newly purchased PA2V2 by Electric Avenue. Previously I used the RE0 with a E3. The source is a Cowon S9.   There was a noticeable improvement with both amps. I've had the E3 the longest and I did notice a much fuller sound and deeper bass with the E3...

    RE-Zero In-ear headphones Limited Edition Sample Give Away

    The RE-Zero sample should be given to me because I have been faithfully listening to the original RE-0 which I paid for at the then bargain price. This is the one that came with the cool dragon design inlaid on top of the round leather case.   In all honesty, I just think the RE-Zero would...
