FYI sounds like JH Audio may be releasing something new (?) in December. Some people were complaining on Facebook about there not being a BF sale this year, and Andrew Regan responded with the below two posts:- nautikal

beyer t70 & t70p NEW!
Can anyone comment on the isolation of the T70/T70p in general or compared to the DT 770 pro? I need a set of closed headphones for travel and have tested the DT 770's which I found had very good isolation. However, I prefer a more forward/lively and less boomy sound (my home pair is AKG K701s)...- nautikal

Active/Passive speakers, receiver confusion, etc.
JBL 2325P Yamaha HS50m or HS80m Behringer M-Audio Go to your local Guitar Center with some demo material on a flash drive and try various speakers out. I thought I was getting the 2325Ps until I tried the HS80Ms which blew me away. I'd be interested to know how the HS50Ms compared...- nautikal

any experience with KRK Ergo?
Bump. I'm interested in this as well. My Audioengine A2s are unfortunately on my desk and under a shelf, so they are basically enclosed on three sides. This makes things really boomy, and while I can mitigate this through EQ, the problem is certain resonanting frequencies. EQing isn't practical...- nautikal

Bass resonances with a desk setup
I have Audioengine 2 speakers for my desk and have them sitting on MoPADs, but due to the shelf on top of my desk the speakers are essentially in a cave and there are a lot of resonance nodes in the bass end. Using a sine wave sweep, I have identified the following peaks: 133, 163, 179, 200...- nautikal

2.0 Setup in a Cramped Space
Just got the MoPADs... I don't know how anyone uses speakers without these or some other form of isolation pad or stand. So much crisper and less boomy. They pretty much solved the resonance problems I was having at louder volumes. I'm going to test them out with the KRKs in a bit.- nautikal

2.0 Setup in a Cramped Space
I sent back my A5s and got A2s, and I like them a lot better. They sound much more natural and aren't boomy. I think I might keep these for my desktop and portable applications and then buy a pair of active speakers or maybe even a speaker and stereo receiver setup for general listening in...- nautikal

2.0 Setup in a Cramped Space
Sorry for another thread about a 2.0 setup... I've been researching for several days now and still have some questions. I need some speakers that I can use for my computer and for general use (e.g., parties). My source will be a MHDT Constantine DAC from my computer and an iPod line out for...- nautikal

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Earphones for $99 at Amazon!
The last time I tried IEMs, it was difficult to get a good fit, and I just wasn't impressed with the sound quality compared to a non-portable setup (such as the one in my signature). But I'm addicted to slickdeals and couldn't resist such a deal.- nautikal

I bought some to try out. I'm not a big fan of IEMs and didn't like the SuperFi 5s. If I don't like them I'll put them up for sale here...- nautikal
