Or Etymotic MC3 / MC5 as they are now referred to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In that range you can get Etymotic ER-6 ...really nice headphones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All, Looking for closed back headphone recommendations, that have minimal leakage. My budget is flexible but would be good to cap it at 500-600. Source will primarily be an iPhone 7 either directly or through an AMB Mini 3 headphone amp if needed. I have owned DT1350 in the past whichever h...

Not sure about the Shure 535, but I had the previous Shure flagship and i thought that the high end treble was veiled   It was a beautiful sounding mid range but a very veiled / attenuated high end. After trying Etymotic, Shure and UE, I settled on UE Triple.fi because I liked it full range...

In your W40s do you think that the sub bass is missing? There is a loss of mid bass in my W4Rs (i.e. bass lines on the guitar) but the low end thump / impact is missing (drum kicks, synthesized bass on R&B tracks).

I have a question for all who have heard both Logitech UE900 and Westone W4R.   I currently am in possession of both W4R and UE 900 and was surprised by many saying that the W4Rs have more bass than than UE.   The way I hear when plugging them to my Beta 22 headphone amp is that the W4Rs are...

I am in the market to replace my IEMs UE Triple.fi with something that is over the ear but has comparable sound.   They will primarily be used in the gym, travel and in the library (so sound isolation and minimal leakage is key criteria)   I am looking to spend no more than $250 on the...

So I built a 4channel B22 with a fully shielded 120 VA transfo, Vishaydale POT, Neutrik connectors, 18awg silver cables..and it costed me a little over $1000   It left me enough money to buy solid silver cable to build myself very good quality interconnect cables.   The sound is stellar...

@BIG POPPA: http://www.zuaudio.com/cables.html here is the website you wanna click Power and then select MK2 (thats the power cable I owned and sold)

This is funny...power cables make zero difference (provided they are sufficient AWG). Most audio works on DC power anyhow..and the overall impedance of the capacitive and resistive networks of the power supply of audio systems is far greater than that of the power cords.    There is NO...

I have measured and there are numerous articles out there that state the the Macbook Pro + Airport Express is a Bit-Accurate transport. I am using a high quality Glass Toslink cable and I dont believe that is the limitation because both the Benchmarck DAC1 and Lavry DA10 have excellent excellent...

@GreenLeo: Thanks for writing that up...I was about to post a similar critique of what El_Doug had posted.   Nyquist theorm is only to detect a signal and not to reproduce.   Reproduction theoretically is dependent on the value of the sample and the accuracy of the time at which the...

Looking for help here fellas. I need a DAC with a good headphone amplifier.   I have had Benchmark DAC1 and then moved to Lavry DA10. I am wondering if I have to upgrade what should i goto next.   The criteria is to get a killer DAC with a killer headphone amp built in. My mobile living...
