Preamp suggestion for Cary V12?
So I bought this monster two years ago off ebay and never bothered to take it out of the box: Now, I know, who in their right mind does something like that? The reasons are probably too personal to get into on a forum, but I did. Today I hooked it up to my NHT classic 3s for no good...- basementdweller

CLAS intermintent soft clicking noise?
As the title suggests, I am hearing a soft clicking sound while music is playing using the CLAS. I have tried switching sources, amps, and cables so it pretty much has to be the CLAS. Also, it is of note that the DAC does not always exhibit this behavior. When I know the DAC has a full charge...- basementdweller

Am I crazy? EEMinimax/EF6/HE6 vs CLAS/ALO Continental/LCD2r1...the second is my favorite.
I am starting to think that I don't exactly have golden ears here...I prefer my transportable rig to my main one. Really, I listen to my transportable a lot more simply because I can carry it around the house, but now I just A/Bed the two systems and plugged both headphones into the HE6 and I...- basementdweller

Need advice from someone who has heard LCD-2, HE6, and HE500(I own 2/3)
Okay, so I am a hoarder, but I increasingly cannot stand stuff sitting around in disuse. I have a LCD-2 rev 1 and HE6. My primary DAC is an Eastern Electric Minimax+ and my amps: EF6 and Lyr. I listen to Rock, from the 70's to right now, and everything from Radiohead to Paramore to Tool, NIN...- basementdweller

Time to upgrade Decco2?
When I bought the Peachtree Decco2 I was relatively new to this cursed place. The all in one solution, that the Decco2 provided, was great because I really didn't own anything else. Now, as many of you can imagine, it does not take very long to let this site's upgraditis fever take hold. ...- basementdweller

thoughts on IE8 and Klipsch Custom 3
I'm not going to call this a review because I simply do not have the time to do a proper A/B comparison between these two phones and honestly that is what I would have to do to compare the sound quality between these headphones with my untrained ears; yes, they are that close. I will say that...- basementdweller

From IE8 to JH Audio 5,11, or 16? Upgrade/Sidegrade?
I have grown curious about custom IEMs and have pretty much settled on the JH Audio line, but despite exhausting the "search" feature I still have questions. I would like to start off by letting anyone with advice know that I very much like the sound and fit of my IE8, which I haven't actually...- basementdweller

My Ipod Nano 6g Review
I posted this same review on Amazon and thought I might as well post it here as well. This is a slightly different audience and I expect most here to want more of a review in regards to specifics concerning audio, but as you can see at the bottom, the players I have to compare it to...- basementdweller

MiniMax Hybrid or Speedball Crack?
As the title suggests...I'm having a bit of a problem deciding which of these projects to undertake and advice from owners would be appreciated.

Need Better mids than I'm getting from Beats Tour. HJE900? Klipsch Custom 3? Suggestions?
I listen exclusively to Rock, but that includes almost every sub genre from metal too live acoustic too industrial...from the 1970s too current artists. My ipod 5.5g's battery isn't what it used to be and I'm pretty sure I'll end up upgrading to a cowon j3. I'm also in the process of...- basementdweller
