so have we discussed why tidal has multiple copies of some albums listed?  for example many of the Frank Zappa albums.

do you need balanced headphones for this application?

I'd agree. I listen on both my home stereo and my IEMs on my phone. I've got a fairly good ear. I'd say there are differences in quality. Perhaps. I think it's a cost benefit. I get a discount because I'm in the third man record "vault" service. For $20/month I think it's a good deal. The...

so is there a way to get gapless playback on Tidal?  i've got a playlist i was hoping to play tonight without any gaps...

i'm having the same problem with my polk atrium 4's.  i'm using them outside.  the lepai shuts off in the 12 o'clock position.  they are rated 89 db.  should i just more efficient speakers?

so i've been into headphones since i was a tyke. 36 now.  i generally listen to IEMs (shure 215,535) but i also love my Grado RS 1s and my SR80s. i use a pono as my source 50% of the time and the other 50% i use a Little Dot MK3 tube headphone amp. i'm looking to start the process of researching...

i'd agree with a lot of what i've read here.  the GUI on OSX is garbge, the sound is DOPE, and the shape of the player can be good or bad.  it's not going to be taking to many bike rides with me this summer.  anyway currently using my shure SE535s and wondered what y'all thought bout this...

i really want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  i sent him one last PM.  he's been on here today so i know he is around.  hmmmmm.....

report him to whom?

I have and I am. The seller won't respond to my PMs either.

I recently purchased a pair of SE 525s from another head fi'er and wasn't blown with the sound I was getting. Just compared them to a pair in the store and feel the ones in the store had richer bass and clearer highs. I paid using paypal. What do you guys think I should do?

recently had my favorite iems stolen/lost during travel.  lost out on two auctions on the ebay too.  ugh.  just venting!

i really like my 215's but i'm thinking of making the leap to 535s once my pono player arrives.  thoughts?

So i know the i20 uses a power supply rated:   7.5v  1.2a effiency level V input 100-240v 50-60 Hz 0, 4A   Do i want linear or switching? I have a switching but its making noise. It wasnt before. Anyway i've looked around and understand i need to know more about what i need before...

Nobody has any thoughts? I'm a total electricity neophyte. I don't want to just plug something in only to have it ruin the doc.
