I'm looking for an all-in-one solution just to manage my workspace a little better. Right now, I have more boxes on my desk than I really want: a Musical Fidelity triple stack (V-DAC, V-PSU, V-LPS) for speaker use and connecting to a Rega turntable, a Emotiva mini-X a-100 for passive speakers...

Hi guys,   I'm currently looking to possibly upgrade my Gilmore Lite to something a little bit better. At first, I was thinking about just getting the DPS for it, but no one seems to be selling it and at that price, I was thinking I might be able to get something a little better too, so I...

These are just a few thoughts on IEMs that I’ve had with me. I’ve been searching for the perfect IEM for quite some time. I don’t want to go down the path of customs (yet), so I’ve stuck with universals for quite some time. I recently had my eye on the FitEar F111 (which I heard had beautiful...

Hey all,   I'm looking to upgrade my Audioengine A2s, which I've owned for the last three years. I actually really love these speakers; they've gotten quite a bit of backlash lately, but I do enjoy the midrange emphasis and warmth of them, even if it might not be considered hi-fi. But, I'm...

Hey all,   I'm contemplating moving up to custom IEMs soon, but I want to make sure before I make the whole investment. I currently own the Heir 4.Ai which I love, but I've never been a huge fan of the fit of a lot of universals, so I figure that customs would be much better in this regard...

This is my first IEM review, so bear with me on this one. It isn’t very technical and it was more of an exercise for me to help me eliminate some IEMs from my collection. I currently own two ~$200 IEMs and two ~$350 IEMs and couldn’t justify keeping all of them, so I wanted to compare them and...

Hey guys,   I've recently run into a dilemma of sorts. I'm currently a senior in college and I've finally built up a full rig that I love (HD600, Schiit Asgard, Audioquest Dragonfly), but I barely use it. I'm eventually going to graduate school and work and can't see myself using this rig...

Hey guys,   This is going to be a long post, so hang in there. I've recently been getting into Head-Fi again, which is doing wonders for my wallet. Anyway, I'm looking for an improvement on my current IEMs, which are UE Triple.Fi 10s with Chris_Himself cables. I really do like these IEMs a...

Hey guys,   I posted this in the Recommendations thread, but got a pretty inconclusive answer. I want a mid-centric, preferably open headphone for ~$200-250. I'll be mainly listening to indie rock (Arcade Fire, The National, Phoenix, etc.) and some classic rock/British Invasion (The Who, The...

Hey guys,   Does anyone have any suggestions of any IEMs ~$150-200 that can use Klipsch tips? So far, they've been the most comfortable tips I've ever used and I'd like to have a second pair of IEMs for comfort/decent isolation that I can kinda beat up (which means that the X10s are probably...

Hey guys,   I'm recently looking into getting a nicer pair of headphones, mainly for home use. I currently have a Sennheiser HD-25 and Audio Technica ESW-9 -- I definitely prefer the HD-25, especially the PRaT it has. I use both to-go and would love to have a better pair for home use.  ...

Hey guys,   I'm looking to get into vinyl on a (relatively) low budget. I looked around and I can get a Music Hall MMF-2.2 for about $250, slightly used. This seems like a pretty decent deal to me, but I'm not sure if I should go for it. I'm pretty new to this stuff, so I was wondering if it...

  Hey guys,   I'm sure you're all sick of questions about the Triple.Fis, but this should be pretty quick. I really love the Triple.Fis but I'm not a huge fan of the cable (wouldn't say that I hate it, but it could be better), so I was looking to replace them. However, I can't justify...

Hey guys,   I was wondering what the effects of using IEMs would be for young children -- I'm thinking about getting my sister some nicer IEMs/portables since she recently received an iPod as a gift, but I don't know if IEMs would be either bad for her hearing or might not even fit into...

I currently have a pair of Denon AD-1001 and they suit me just fine. However, I'm both getting the urge to upgrade and noticing that they're taking quite a beating. More exactly, the hinges on the ear cups are a bit uneven from wear and tear in my bag. I've done a bit of research on a few...

I know this has been done to death, but I'm not sure which of these is best for me. I'm leaning towards the S4, even though the RE0 might be the better value because I heard that the RE0 lacks bass and is more analytical. However, I also think that the RE0 might have better sound and be a better...

I'm thinking about buying a decent pair of open headphones to compliment my D1001s (and I also want to hear the Grado sound), but I'm having trouble deciding between these two. I want to know if the MS1s are worth the extra 30 dollars over the SR60. I'm a bit concerned by the treble of the SR60...

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum, but I've been lurking for a bit. I have a question about amps. Right now, my headphones are the Denon D1001 and UE Super.Fi 3. I know that probably neither of these need a dedicated headphone amp, but I'm wondering if they would sound better with an amp...
