    Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

    Hello all, longtime user who has not been active for some time. I came to a few meetups back around 2010, if I remember correctly. Have lost touch with the hobby (and the passion) and am moving away for school now so needing to sell some gear. Hope it's ok to post this here, as I'd rather sell...

    Hello all, I have a pair of Denon AH-D5000's for sale. These are closed headphones and they sound heavenly. They have seen better days in terms of physical condition -- the leather on the headset and on the earpads is worn and the cloth grills have dust. The cable has also gotten tangled and...

    Earbuds similar to Samsung HS3303?

    Hi there,   I am looking for an earbud that is similar to Samsung's OEM HS3303. They have been discontinued and though they might be available somewhere online there are so many knock off models that I don't want to take the risk. I had them originally with my note 4 and they are to this day...

    Best way to make amp wireless?

    Hi there, I'm looking for some help finding a device that will allow me to play music on my current audio setup from my phone with minimal quality loss. Doesn't need to be perfect just wondering what's out there and if there is a range in quality or if it's all pretty uniform. I've already...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Really glad to hear that I'll only need to buy an amp because that will free up my budget and options quite a bit.   From what I've gathered, using the he-500's out of speaker terminals is the best route to go. The Emotiva x-100 driven from speaker terminals is reported to sound better than...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Fair enough. $400-$500 is my hard limit, but $200-$300 is the sweet spot. Basically I'm looking to do the HE-500's for as cheap as possible. Coming from an unamped pair of Denon d5000's I know the 500's on their own will be improvement enough in the beginning, I just need something (preferably...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Hey guys,   I've decided that I'd like to make the HE-500 my next pair of headphones, and I'm seeking help in deciding how to power them. I'm going to need an amp/dac combo and I'm pretty set on getting a tube amp. Does anybody know of any tube amp/dac units that pair well with HE-500? The...

    Fostex HP-P1 Portable Amplifier and DAC for iPod/iPhone (Short REVIEW and Impressions Thread)

    Looking at getting this for portable use, as well as bedside use. I intend to get a very high quality dac and amp for my bedside rig, but I'd still like to use my iPod, which is what makes the transport function perfect.   My question is whether or not you can use an external DAC instead...

    Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

    Nathan,   I do have something on tonight that would conflict with the meet. As such, the only way I could make it is if someone shows interest in buying my amp (which I'm having troubles selling), in which case I could move my previous commitment. If anyone is finding $350 to be a little...

    Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

    Hey guys, I know I've been a bit out of touch as if late so I apologize for that.   I just wanted to know if anybody would be interested in buying my Audio-Gd C-2.1 headphone amp. If so, I could gladly bring it to the meet for people to audition. Its in perfect condition, comes with the...

    Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

    Hey guys,   Wondering if anyone would be interested in an Audio-gd C-2.1 headphone amp? It comes with a Moon OPA, as well as the stock OPA if you decide to try swapping it. I am the second owner, purchased recently off Head-fi from a guy who had it for a short while only (just over a...

    Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

    Hey everyone,   Just got back from a 6 week hiatus and am starting to settle in. Just wanted to put my vote in for a meet sometime soon.   Btw, I had the Audio-gd C-2 sitting in the mail upon my arrival. So far, I can hardly hear a difference, but I might still be doing something...

    Flawless albums

    These would be my favorite albums of all time. I consider all of them to be 'flawless', and by that I mean that I really liked every song on it, and that the album as a whole flows nicely.   Blue October's "Foiled" is definitely a play through. All of the songs fit nicely into a coherent yet...

    *Your* History of Sound (music)

    Well I'm nowhere near having finished my progression in musical tastes as I'm still considered a teenager. Nevertheless, I'll tell my bit.   I started out with rap.. just rap. Rick Ross, kanye west, lil wayne etc. etc. System of a Down was also my favorite band off all time, and I still...

    Sorry I couldn't make it to this meet guys, I definitely would have liked too. Next time.   In other news, just updated the inventory a bit. Audio gd C-2.1 is on the way, and the Hsu HB-1 mk2's just came in the mail. Shipping from Hsu was ridiculous, so I picked these up off Kijiji (guy was...

    Review: Audio-gd C2C Headphone amp vs. Little Dot MKV

    I'm definitely thinking about pulling the trigger on the C2C, but a quick look on the Audio-gd website has me confused. The C2C is nowhere to be seen, and in its place is the C-2.1.   Is this simply the updated C2C (Neutrik connector and manufactured body)?

    Hip Hop: An Analysis

    Guys, listen to the VS. Redux. It's a collabo album made by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Very, very impressive musicality by Ryan Lewis and refreshing subject matter by Macklemore who's rapping style sounds much more like a spoken word poetry then anything else. Check it out!     Really...

    The Stax thread (New)

      I've been hearing a lot about Stax lately, and they seem like something I really wouldn't mind trying out. However I'm a bit confused as to how they work.   What is confusing me are their driver units. How exactly do I go about driving a pair of Stax headphones? I'm guessing they don't...
