I recently took ownership of a La Figaro 332C amp with the understanding it has a problem involving the headphone jack. It's unknown exactly what the fault is but it is effected by wiggling the headphone cable in the socket. It's a known issue that the jack on these may need to be resoldered...

I'm currently using onboard audio, a Schiit Asgard 3 running into a pair of Audezes LCD2C Closed and looking to switch my system in a different direction by adding in a DAC, replacing the amp, or buying a combo unit. Budget of $700. I have a long list of gear I've owned on my profile(My account...

I'm finding it frustratingly hard to find a good pair of BT headphones for sleeping in, I just want something smallish with a relaxed sound. Used to own AKG K81 for the greater part of a decade until they wore out and I got a phone without a HP jack. I've tried replacing the AKGs 5 times now and...

It is good to be back, I worked my way up the price ladder for headphones a few years back and then switched over to speakers and now I'm building up an affordable rig mostly for use in sampling music on youtube & non-competitive gaming. Onboard computer sound has come a long way in the past few...

I completed my headphone journey just over a year ago, from 2008-2014 I climbed from the Grado SR80 to a TOTL Ultrasone with many stops along the way. And then I moved to speakers, and chained to my computer since has been a nearly decade old pair of DJ headphones. As there are some games coming...

I'd like to get a speaker system put together in my bedroom but I know I'm going to want something small and which doesn't have too much interaction with the room. My room is about as bad as you could get accoustic wise: 10x15', carpeted floor, suspended wood floors. I'm looking at $2K-2.5K for...

As I am writing this post, the Bakoon HPA-01 I recently acquired is sitting on such a low volume that I'm hearing some channel imbalance yet still too loud, and I am left wondering what is left for us high-end dynamic headphone owners. More specifically those of us with low ohm/high efficiency...

After the latest Jplay update 5.2.1 my digital system went from being slightly behind my turntable to leapfrogging it completely. I'm a millennial and I only got into records two years ago, and I have a total of 30 or so records to my name. Considering the cost of records(for the majority of...

I thought I would start a thread for this DAC as I'm vaguely considering getting one, unfortunately to budget that I would have to sell off my turntable which is something I think many will deem heretical. :p Why I'm especially interested in this DAC is the same reason I'm considering leaving...

It took six years but my AKG K81 has finally given out. Rather than replacing them with another small headphone I decided to try a pair of in-ears. Prior to these my only experience with in-ears has been a $15 pair of Sonys that I owned well before I got into audio and all I remember from them...

Has anyone seen this new 'amplifier' on StereoDesk yet? http://stereodesk.com/collections/emia/products/emia-headphone-attenuator I'm surprised no one has tried something like this before as the concept behind it seems relatively simple. I don't understand the electronic aspect here but there...

About a week ago I bought myself a pair of Ultrasone ED12s and I'm more than happy with them.(better than the HE-6 IMO but that's a topic for another thread). Amp wise all I have now is the old receiver I'd been using to amp my STAX SR-5s, a Sherwood S6000. It's a first generation solid state...

I've always been a little intimidated of the amp section here, there are so many amps out there, and there is always going to be that feeling that there may have been something better once you get one, so I'm just going to trust headfi, and hope for the best.   I don't know anything about amps...

First of all I would like to say Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and happy new year to everyone        I am in the market for a new pair of headphones. I currently have a Grado SR-80i and I feel it does almost everything wrong. For my doom/post metal it lacks soundstage, for blues...

Hey, I currently use Grado SR-80is on my home rig, just a Xonar Essence STX, and for obvious reasons they are not good for portable use, I have looked in the 115 IEM review thread, but I'm still too much of a noobie around here to know words like "lush" and "bright", I understand the...

This is my first time out of the headphone forums so I am not too sure how this works, but I need help finding classical music that I like. I am mainly into metal especially black and folk, but I have heard a few classical songs that I like, mainly in the Fable franchise of games, but also I...

Hello, I've posted before, unfortunatly only for recommendations, I would like to help and post more, but I only have expeirance with my SR-80is, I'm still very much a headphone noob despite joining months ago. Any way I have begun to feel the upgraditis mainly because I feel the SR80s may be...

Hey, I've posted here and there and I've been considering getting some new headphones after something just did not feel as awesome with my sr-80s, which led me to here(contrary to popular belief avoiding this forum will not save your wallet) I want something that can pump lots of bass when I...
