GAHH I AM GOING CRAZY
My family, they are nuts, I swear. My sister has been playing this damned piano down the hall for three hours (I kid you not) incredibly loud, and to make it better, she is miserable at it. I have ADD and cannot study when their is music playing or really even noises whatsoever. I nicely asked...- Raez

The UN/Official Head-Fi Instant Messenger List?
I do apologize if this has been done before, but a quick search reveals nothing, so here we go. Oh, and this also may end up being a complete failure, but sometimes I like chatting about headphones, and this seems like a decent idea. I think the best way to do it would be to keep the list...- Raez

I have $50 to spend on anything audio, but only $50, shipped.
So I got a bunch of giftcards for my birthday, and for whatever reason, I was given a Visa $50 giftcard. So, I can spend exactly $50 on something, shipped. Don't want music, already bought plenty with gift cards. Don't want cables. Anything? I was thinking maybe the Yuin PK3 buds...- Raez

So...I'm rather curious...
Hehehe, I'm cracking myself up just posting this, but I'm genuinely curious. Is anybody on here near deaf, or actually, legally deaf? I'm just wondering if anybody REALLY has to crank up their audio gear to get good sound. Yes, this is my 500th post.- Raez

The Darkvoice/La Figaro 332C and 332S Impressions/Discussion Thread
Alright, I'm taking the liberty of making a new thread here, as I think we should leave the 3322 thread to die at this point, or at least keep the discussions on the actual 3322. AFAIK, some people already have the 332C, but the 332S is not ready because they are still working on the...- Raez

So I have the iBasso D3, and I'm looking for a DAC, under $300, that will noticeably improve upon the SQ. Please only post if you have heard the D3, because otherwise, you comment is null. Thanks!- Raez

Ah hell, I hate this feeling. Fathers & Sons, step inside...
I feel like such an idiot, worse buyer's remorse I have ever felt. This Christmas, I told my parents the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas was the HE-5, EF-5 combo. I told them I would pay half, as that, obviously, is a very expensive Christmas present, and I understand that. That said, my...- Raez

Budget Amps for the Hifiman HE-5? (Alternatives to EF1, EF-2, EF-5)
Title pretty much says at all. What amps can do the HE-5 justice for cheap? Let's say a budget of ehh, idk, $400? The Head-Direct amps are already noted... Could the GLite do the job?- Raez

Alright, decision time, need YOUR advice. HE-5+EF-2 or K701/HD600+Good Amp+Good DAC up to $700?
Title pretty much says it all. Would you get the HE-5s and a cheap head-direct amp, or a K701/HD600 and a solid amp, and DAC, up to $700. Need to decide today, UGH.- Raez

What's this!? A new Amp from iBasso? INDEED! The "Fi-Quest" for "Authorized Customers" only.
I know nothing about this, but I saw it on their site today for the first time. A quick search or two gives me nothing, so tell me Head-Fi, what is this? Looks like a Head-Fi special edition amp to me. Quote: Fi-Quest Preorder For authorized customers only. Package content...- Raez

BIG amps anybody? (Yes, I mean size.)
Maybe, I'm crazy, maybe I just like big amps. Anybody else have a particular liking to large audio gear. Amps/DACs, I don't care, I like it BIG! Anybody else share this same strange preference?- Raez

So DACphiles, tell me, will these ~$500 DACs sound better than my cheap iBasso D3?
Alright, I'm all confused here. Will my little iBasso D3, which has a better DAC chip than many full-sized and more expensive DACs, sound better than some of these ~$500 DACs? For instance, we'll take the DacMagic. Highly regarded on here, no doubt. All extra features aside, will the...- Raez

I hate you, Head-Fi. Have the GS1000, cans to compliment? (But with a budget, =[ )
Just when I was all but ready to order the K701s, BLAMO, I read a thread where the general opinion was the GS1000 is a better K701...damnit. So, that's pretty much it, recommend me something that would compliment the GS1000 under $400, new or used. Ill be basing the amp I purchase around...- Raez

Best AMP under $500? Help Me Out! (EDITED: JUST AMP!)
