So I've been saving and saving for a mid/hi-fi setup for a long time, and now that I'm finally here, I don't know which direction I want to take it. Originally, I was going to get the Mad Dogs and the Aune T1, and call it a day, since that was all I thought I'd be able to practically afford...

Assuming I could get them for the same price, and my source will be FLAC files -> Aune T1 -> Project Ember, what are the pros and cons of each? I listen to pretty much all different kinds of music, from electronic to rap to classical and rock. I know that both of them have a darker sound (which...

Well, after lots and lots of research and asking many questions (thank you to all the fellow head-fiers who have put up with me, I appreciate it), I have narrowed it down to these two. Project ember, for $341 shipped, and the Musical Paradise MP-301 mk 3 2013 Deluxe Version for $360 shipped...

Okay, so I've been doing a lot of research, and the world of vacuum tubes has me utterly confused. There is, for example, the Aune T1, the Maverick Tubemagic D1 and A1, and god knows what else in this price range. Tubes in the DAC, in a preamp, or a "true" headphone tube amp. Basically, what...

Just curious to see what components one can add to a home headphone/audio setup. By components I mean things like: headphones, amp, DAC, computer, CD player, turntable, or an equalizer. What else could you add that might make a difference?

What do I want? I want headphones. Yes, that'll do. I want full size headphones. I want headphones that are a great value at the price I get them. And I would like to have phones that I can build a fairly nice system around when I want to, not have to buy new phones, a new amp, and source just...

So, I've been away from head-fi for a little while, but I'm "back" per say. I'm looking to build both a good portable system and a good desktop system, both on a small budget as I'm 15. I'm new to this whole amping thing. I'd like to acquire at least a good portable and desktop amp, as well as...

NOTE: ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTS MY OPINIONS.   Testing Setup: ipod touch -> Fiio E5 -> Brainwavz Pro Alpha I listened to a mix of songs, all of which were mp3s, 192kbps or higher.   Yesterday, in the mail, I recieved my Brainwavz Pro Alpha. To tell the truth, I was quite...

My questions: How do I use the cord wrapper thingy? And, can i take the shirt clip off? If so, how?   Please help me out :) Thanks!

Durability? In your opinion, what is the absolute most durable IEM a available for under $40 dollars? Already looked at some of H2O audio's stuff, but their lower end stuff seems to have some cabling problems. Don't get me wrong, I take care of my IEM's, but I kind of want a pair I can just BASH.

Just today, I spent $25 on 2 cases, and a line out cable for my itouch. Also, my mom bought me M6’s. And hopefully, if the Pro Alpha deal lasts, I’ll be ordering those tomorrow, too. Did I mention I got my RE2’s YESTERDAY? /end rant about this never ending hole begging me to throw money into it

My RE2s come in tomorrow. After over a week of waiting, I'll finally have them :D Just thought I'd reserve a spot to post my impressions, and relieve my frustration over having to wait. :P

Will it produce better sound quality if I turn the volume up on my itouch all  the way, and keep the volume all the way down on my E5? Or if I turn it up on the E5 and down on the itouch? One thing I have noticed is that if used the first way, there is no hissing at all.

How is the sound quality on these?   I'm looking for something really "pretty" that still has good sound quality.

Well, I've been thinking about getting M6's for a while. However, I also want something analytical, which puts music out as it was recorded.   So, should I go ahead and get the M6, or get the RE2's?   Also, how is the durability on the RE2s?

Are what I'm looking for in my next IEM's.   I have Kicker eb141's, Metro Fi 220's, and Super.Fi 5's. As far as sound signature goes, I'm open to almost anything that has a good sound QUALITY. The only catch: the IEM's must have detachable cables, and preferably be under $50.   I have...

Yeah, I know they're old. But I might get a pair, and I have a couple questions:   Is the sound quality really equal to/better than that of the Super.Fi 3? Does the detachable cable for the Super.Fi 3 fit the UHP336? This one, to be exact...

THE BELOW-MENTIONED (IS THAT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?) THOUGHTS ARE MINE, AND ONLY MINE. YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH THEM, AND THAT SUCKS FOR YOU.   Well, I haven't listened to them for long, just got them, but here what I think right off the bat:   Packaging: Quite nice, gets the job done...

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2259619#showFullReviews Anyone heard of these?...

My Super.Fi 5's are here. Well, technically. Since my friend's dad ordered them, they're stuck at his house, and my parents aren't sure when they can go get them/take me to go get them. And did I mention that I'm not getting my Meelec ht21's off preorder, too? x.x My cousins being over = no...

Does anyone think they'll be on sale for under the pre order price ($35) anytime soon?  Or should I just bite on the pre order savings?

I've read reviews, and people don't think theyre worth it at 60-80 dollars, but what about at $25? Are they much better than the competition at that price level (cx300, m6)   thanks

How good are these in general? Sound quality, comfort, isolation? On sale for $45, so I'd like to pick them up soon if they're good.

http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT-235-Headphone-Black/dp/B00198BY48/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top   How are they for the price?   I'm a bit of a basshead, but really, I don't care about the quantity so much as the quality. Mind you, I would like portables that are "fun" sounding. How do...

Does anyone ACTUALLY have them? I really want to see a solid review other than Joker's (no offense) before I buy them.
