Has anyone noticed a trend lately? I have seen a large number of new head fi'ers selling high ticket items such as AK100s, AK120s, RWAK etc. I am not saying they are scams, but it certainly leads me to believe it and I am not ever going to buy such a high priced item from someone with no...

Hi Head Fi'ers,   I am looking to get your opinion on a situation regarding a head fi'er who goes by the name Anacondastan.   I recently purchased a Macbook Air 13" from him on December 10th. Prior to the purchase of the Macbook Air, I was interested in another item he had for sale, the...

For music mostly, what has better sound the X7 or J3?   And what amps do you guys use if any?   Thanks in advance.  

I am looking to buy a Cowon J3 and would like to know what portable amp you use with it? Which one has the best synergy and overall fit?   Thanks in advance   Skoog

Nobody interested so... delete.

Hi fellow head fi'ers,   I am curious if anyone would be willing to buy Craig's recently released Elite Twag OM cable if he were to make it in black? I already own the sliver version, which is great by the way, and matches up perfectly with my clear and blue JH13s. But I also have a pair...

Hi fellow head fi'ers,   Anyone out there a DIYer willing to make a high quality pair of custom JH13 IEM cables. (Black only). Looking for similar workmanship and quality and sound as Whiplash's Twag. Craig's Twag only comes in copper and silver as far as I know.   PM or add to this...

Hello fi'ers,   I'm looking for an after market cable like Whiplash's Twag OM replacement cable (I own this already) The catch is that I would like to find something similar in quality, only in BLACK? Looking to match it up with my black and red custom IEMs.   Does this exist? Any...

Anyone using the newest release (3.6) of rockbox with their Imod?   I know there were some issues installing 3.5.   Thanx!  

Hello Fi'ers,   Just wondering what you Imod users are setting your EQ or DB settings at?   I have the Rockboxed Redwine Imod using FLAC files with custom high end IEMs (JH13s and Rooth LS8s).   What settings are you using?   Thanx in advance   Skoog   Anyone? Anyone Buehler?

Hello head-fiers!!!   Anyone interesting and willing to take some possible risks, it seems that there is an explosion of custom IEMs in China. According to some contacts I have made this has been going on for quite some time. I cannot speak from experience as to the quality and build, but...

Hi head-fiers,   There’s a new company on the block. The company is called HFI (High Fi International). It is an online store located in Japan. You can  order all the usual goodies from Whiplash, ALO RSA etc. The site is in Japanese but if you google it you can translate it to English -...

Hi fellow head fi'ers. I originally posted this in the UM appreciation thread but no answer so thought I would start a new thread.     I picked up a pair of JH13s used and have a pair of Shure 530s. Got an appointment for molds at the audiologist in Tokyo this week (May 18th). Will be...

Anyone here also having problems accessing xtremespeeds site? I have been getting intermittent connection timeouts or SQL errors. Is it down and out? skoog

Hey fi'ers, Well I finally loaded up rockbox on my IMOD. Now I am able to listen to FLAC files. Now I hear through the grapevine, and I could be wrong, but there may be software that decompressed the FLAC file so there is very little to no compression left, thus making minor tweaks to the...

Hi fello head fi'ers, If you have an opinion I look forward to hearing from you on the following: I own an IMOD with ALO's RX amp ... I am beginning my research on custom IEMs, looking at FitEar 333s, JH 16 or 13 pros, ACS T1s UE 18s. And any other suggestions. My ALAC music library...

I have a newly acquired 5.5 120 gig IMOD from ALO/RWA. And have been having problems loading Rockbox. I keep getting an 4096 unsupported ... error message. I have tried the latest version a number of times and different ways, but to no avail. Someone suggested downloading version 3.4 from the...

Hi head fiers ... I hope this is the right thread area to post this question. I have an IMOD and am converting files. The question(s) I have are: 1.) Is FLAC the best file to start with (keeping in mind I have no CDs)? If not, what would you suggest?? 2.) Assuming FLAC is a good...

Question and advice: So here's the deal - I have a pair of shure 530s, and CMOY for my 4G Ipod. It has been a very nice combination, but have been slowly upgrading. So I have purchased a pico slim and waiting for that puppy to arrive. Now am thinking to take my 4G and have it Imodded ... but...

Hey, Looking to get custom IEMs and need an audiologist recommendation for ear molds. The catch is I live in Tokyo, Japan. Anyone have any recommendations. English or Japanese is ok with me. Thanks in advance. Skoog

In ya'lls humble opinion, what is the best portable amp available that will compliment the Shure 530s. I am running off a 4G 20G Ipod (occasionally a 3G Iphone). Budget - above 200 clams. Thanks in advance for your opinions. Skoog

Hi there, Anyone have any recommendations on a LOD for an Iphone 3g? Also have a 4G Ipod and would like to use it for both. But from my research it looks as though there is nothing out there? Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Skoog

Hi there I have the Archos 5 internet media tablet 60Gb non android version. Archos has proprietary Line out connections. I also have an Ipod 4th Gen and an Iphone 3G. I am in the process of purchasing the pico slim when it's built next year for the Iphone/Ipod. In order to get the most out of...
