With the idea of getting a Bifrost, I've started thinking of a new source component.   I have roughly 30 gigs of music, 20 of that being lossless, with 10 or so albums in 24-bit.   Right now i just use an iPod photo with a line out dock, and the biggest inconvienence for me is that i...

Is anyone else hearing distortion through their headphones when listening to the Bruno Mars album, Doo wops and hooligans? especially Grenade.   I've reripped my album, always using ALAC.   perhaps this is what they intended?

I just got my Q701's, and I love the sound, but I want to DIY a braided cable now that i have some free time on my hands.   I like the look of the ALO audio braided cable, but at 350 i do not want to buy it.   How can i make my own?   I understand i need a 3 pin mini xlr, and a 1/4"...

Has anyone ever contemplated rewiring the internals of the 701/702?   I saw a picture:  from here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/483861/guide-balanced-akg-k702-with-detachable-4-pin-mini-xlr-cable   And i was wondering if those skinny wires affect SQ or anything? is it possible to upgrade...

I currently use AD900's with my valhalla, and I'm planning on leaving those at the office since they are driven well with my iPhone, and the difference isnt significant when driven by the valhalla.   I'm looking for a set of headphones to be solely left at home and used with the valhalla...

So, I think im starting to go down that slippery slope of audio gear.   First it started off with me going crazy looking for headphones that i could drive with my iPhone, and Now Ive just bought an amp.   I just wanted to share my thoughts with my setup:   iPod Photo 40gb + Dock Line...

I just started a job at a really quiet office, and I've been using my Shure SE530's and I find it annoying to constantly take them out and put them back in when I talk to someone. I started exploring full size headphone options, and the more i look the more confused i get.   What I'll be...

I have some shure se530's for when i want to listen, but i want to bring my music up with me snowboarding, and also dont want anything in my ears. so im looking for something i can wear around my neck and just blast it. something where volume and bass will carry through?   any suggestions...

I had to take some stuff out, so i decided to reorganize everything, might as well take a picture: any pictures of your gear?

Im looking at the nano, but apple sells the old one refurb for 129, vs 179 for the new one. does anyone have a conclusive say on the sound quality difference between those two through the headphone ports and nice monitors? reason i ask is because im getting sick of my zune 80, i can hear...

Im planning to use what i'm looking for with my cell phone, i have a cable that has a microphone built in and i want some earphones that have a modular cable so i dont have to mess around with a giant cable. i have some se530's for my personal enjoyment, but i want something that i can rough...

I have my shure e4c's that ive had for around 4 years now. And getting these has basically raised my standard for earphones. Since then, I see alot more choices on the market, and just cant seem to crunch all the information that ive been getting, and i havent been able to find a GOOD roundup of...
