    Old VS new IE80 VS DUNUs VS 1more

    Hey everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about where the IE80 sits on the rating table these days. They go for somewhat of a steal on amazon and for someone being out of the game for so long, I don't know if they're still worthwhile in comparison to the new IEMs. Flipping through...

    Where to buy/test westone 4 iems in new hampshire

    Hi all, I just tried the westone 4 at the airport while travelling and simply put, Mind Blown! I need one right now and since I'm travelling, i cant order it at the moment. Does anyone know where i can buy them at a store somewhere in new hampshire? I'm not good with patience.

    Which to upgrade first?

    Well I was thinking, a $30 DAC wouldnt do the lcd 2 justice. I like how the K701 sounds but i cant help but feel that i want more! I just want better sound. Would the bifrost improve the sq to a noticable degree? Or should i just leave the D3 and get the lcd 2

    Which to upgrade first?

    Hi everyone, I would like your opinion on upgrading my setup. I currently have a Fiio D3, a Schiit Lyr and an AKG K701. I plan to get the Schiit Bifrost as a DAC and LCD-2 cans. Due to financial issues, I can only buy one of these at a time. Should I get the DAC first because that is most likely...

    Audio Technica ATH M50 - Disappointed. PLEASE Help?

    Did you try using FLAC files? I had the same problem with my K701 and the problem was that i was using 128kbps mp3 files. I only heard a disappointing barely noticable improvement over my logitech G35. But when I used flac, its a whole nother beast! Good luck

    That is great information Questhate. I would most likely go for the LCD 2 then the HD 800 eventually. Can a Schiit Bifrost/Lyr combo run the HD800s well or will it be sub par? I am graduating in 6 months and I have a job lined up. I can already see where my food money is going to go...

    My new Equipment "PICS"

    Hey there, quick question. Which do you prefer, your headphones or your speakers? in terms of sound quality, which is better?

    While I agree that it is indeed the same music, the quality of sound can affect your enjoyment of the music itself. For example, comparing a concert hall and a radio. While headphones would probably not have that drastic difference, personally the difference between headphones is appreciable...

    Ooh I'm looking forward to your impressions Dubstep Girl! So far your recommendations have been pretty spot on for me. Only reason why I'm not getting the 650s is because I don't have the money for it right now and that at this point I'm lusting for the LCD 2/HD800/T1 to worry about the 650s...

    A noob’s journey   Hello everyone, I’d like to post my own “guide” written for people starting out in the world of head-fi. A little background about myself; I am still a complete noob and I’ve only been on head-fi for several weeks. My first experience with audiophile equipment was when I...
