Simply put, I do not like the sound of silver/gold/hybrid cables. Either they sound metallic/harsh/bright or something's off. This thread is NOT to defend any of those, but to discuss copper cables only. -What is the best copper cable that you have heard and on what headphone? -Which cables...

Since we don't already have a thread for this, maybe we should since it's a very important aspect to getting cleaner sound.   What power conditioner or regenerator do yo use? What is your chain and what are it's effects on your chain? Would you recommend it?   Maybe we can even come up with...

Has anyone heard these? They've just been released (and very quietly at that).   http://store.hifiman.com/index.php/hifiman-x100-desktop-hi-fi-audio-system.html   Please post impressions if you have heard them. Really curious since this is their first venture  into speakers. Priced at $499.

This thread is a hunt for the ultimate setup for electronic music fans. I've been into electronic music for a very long time and a very regular clubber. Mostly into techno, deep house and minimal.   Ideal sound   Funktion One system at Berghain   The best setup Ive ever heard in my life...

So the new Hifiman Edition X headphones have been announced and will be shown at RMAF 2015. Some pictures:           Early rumours or expectations (no one has heard them yet except for Steve): Smaller soundstage, warmer, priced between HE-6 ($1,299) and the HE-1000 ($2,999).  ...

What cable are you using from your speaker tap to the 4 pin XLR in? where did you get it from? Impressions and pictures? Im looking for this cable but can't decide what to go with.

Hey everyone.   I currently own 2 iems. The PL30 and the Brainwavz M1. I'm loving both of them. I can't listen to the KSC-75 because of the piercing treble. Now I'm looking to upgrade for them. The most important factor for me is comfort because I sleep in them and I have small ear canals...

Im looking for a smooth sounding IEM under $90. I dont like fatiguing/aggressive sound and I don't need excessive bass or treble. I like them in normal quantities with probably a decent soundstage. Will be listening to mostly pink floyd/radiohead/beatles and so on.   Suggestions please?  ...

I am wanting to buy headphones which are FULLY circumaural and DON'T need an amp to use. I will be using them directly out of my laptop. I was wanting to buy the creative aurvana live but i dont think they're available for $60 anywhere anymore.   My budget is max $70.   Im confused...

So i was looking at headphones which don't need an amp and for use with my laptop and willing to spend about $60-70 tops. I went through jokers portable shooutout thread and found the CALs to be of my liking but I can't seem to find them at that price. They have to be fully circum-aural and not...

Newegg is currently out of stock for the creative aurvana live. Where can i buy them for $60? Please don't recommend ebay because I can't use it. Secondly the seller should be reliable. Anyone?

Im looking to upgrade from the PL-30s. I love the sound signature. So what IEMS will be a logical upgrade keeping the same sound signature?

I got the Soundmagic PL30 after reading about them here. I am loving the iems.. and the sound signature.. however they lose ALOT of details at lower volumes at which i use them when im trying to sleep. How do i help that? I have the option to buy the fiio E1.. would that help? or do i have to...

So i got the PL30.. so far im LOVING what they do.. with their airy presentation and crystal clear sound. I seem to have one issue... when im sleeping i keep the volume very low.. at that level the PL30's lose ALOT of detail, bass and the sound seems very distant.. as in its coming from far...

I have the option to buy between the mentioned 4 headphones (Hippo Shroom vs PL30 vs metrofi 220 vs FA eterna) . I am looking for an IEM with not excessive bass and a sound which is a little less stressing than the ksc-75 and very musical. Also im looking for comfort and i use the small tips on...

Hey. I have a chance to get one of the soundmagic products. I wanted to ask.. from their entire lineup, which IEM is the the most "fun" sounding? Im looking for engaging kind of iems which fill me with music. I love clarity. I currently have the UHP606.. there are two things which I don't...

I can't seem to describe the kind of sound I like. I read alot of reviews, but I can't really compare them with what I like and what I don't. Here's what I'm wanting: Sound which is "indulging and surrounding" with music enough? not having phones boom in your ears but having a whole lot of...

Hello, Im looking for some decent IEMs for about $30. I was considering the SoungMagic PL-30 for $23 and the MEElectronics M9 for $16.. but they're all taking long to ship... the thing is i need to get them shipped in about 3 days MAXIMUM i.e till tuesday because I'll have it shipped to my...
