    Skyrim DLC: Dawnguard or Vampires?

    I was all politically-correct Dawnguard after I saw a couple of vampires attack Winterhold. I got on Shadowmere, rode to Fort Dawnguard, walked in... ok so no furniture yet, I guess IKEA only exists in the Imperial City. Well start the quest, get a crossbow, kill some vampires... As soon as I...

    Excessive loud music in clubs

    I checked and the last thread about this was almost 3 years ago, so I decided to create a new one.   It's ridiculous how loud clubs are. I went to one yesterday which is rare for me, and it was painful just to be inside, even in the back. You have to scream at your friend's ears just to have...

    The rise and fall of my RE-Zeros

    I bought the HiFiMan RE-Zeros from a Portuguese budget audiophile in July last year. They have served me well in this time. They broke and I don't know what to use as a replacer. So this is a small review and a request for what to do now.   Comfort/Fit Very comfortable. They basically...

    Real or Fake? - Update on last page, need help

    Before I post another thread asking for help, I usually read previous threads, so I don't come here completely blanked. I'm a regular member of Head-Fi and I kind of know what I'm looking for, I just need your opinion on what would be best. So Christmas is coming, and I want to get my girlfriend...

    Why NOT to Rockbox a Clip+

    I got a Clip 4Gb a few weeks ago, and I read about how awesome Rockbox was said to be. So today I downloaded it and tried installing it.   And failed.   Apparently you need to have a certain version of the Clip's original firmware (even if you never again use it in your life, which is...

    WASAPI creates distortion?

    I installed WASAPI on my laptop (Windows 7) a while back and through the crappy speakers there was a very obvious difference. So today I thought about checking out if it would make a difference with my headphones. I am using a Fiio E7 as a USB DAC/amp and the Shure SRH750. WASAPI made a clear...

    Can you demagnetize a headphone driver? Koss Portapro problem

    Ok normally I don't act like a cheerleader in a low-budget horror movie, but that's how concerned I am. I have owned a pair of Koss PortaPro for some time now, they were the first pair of headphones I put some thought into buying. They were the first thing I ever tried in terms of DIY (recabled...

    Do you let people borrow your IEMs?

    So this happened to me at least once, and apparently RageComics had someone else with the same problem who submited this 4-pane:     My comment is probably 3rd, with the same nickname. Just sayin...   Anyway, do you lend your IEMs to friends? Do you force them to clean their ears...

    Complicated Catalogs

    We've all been to some of our favorite companies' websites, right? Well, when I started on Head-Fi the first thing I wanted to pick up was a Koss Porta Pro, so as you can imagine I visited their website often. And while I went to the Product Select button, I felt like I was in the Matrix. The...

    Beats instead of RE0s?!

    Just a rant thread. This guy on amazon is selling his RE0s because he "already has Beats" and didn't even bother to take them out the package... the Beats being so satisfying and all, I can understand ^^ anyway hopefully I'll be taking him from his burden soon.

    Sennheiser HD25-1-II vs AKG K518 review

    So today, after watching Jude's review, I went out and finally tried the Sennheiser HD-25-1 II at one of the only 2 Apple stores in Lisbon. And although I couldn't use my regular DAP as a test (Sony NWZ-A845), I used the store's iPod Nano Touch or whatever that thing was. It looked like a...

    Using an amp with a DAP - will it change the Freq. response?

    Now now, bros, don't flame me please. I know this has probably been answered, but Ireally couldn't search it this time - and I am an avid user of our forum's search funtion.   My story is this: I own a Sony NWZ-A845 player, and it's quite nice. Soundstage isn't that great, instrument...

    Where to find a good Fiio LOD?

    Before you all rage with belic cries of "Amazon!", let me add I live in Lisbon, Portugal. Lovely city. Terrible importing.   So, as I wandered into amazon.co.uk, known for it's friendly way of smuggling goodies into my country, I started to learn all about Amazon's policy of "get it in your...

    Basic soldering - what went wrong?

    So I just tried my first recable job. It went terrible, and I wanted to learn from that. So I'll quickly post my mistakes and some questions I have about them.   1 - I did'nt clean my iron often, and it was many times greyish instead of silver when I used it. Does this affect the quality of...

    Cable braiding 101 please?

    Before you enrage, let me say I did use the search funtion.   Now, the thing is: I intend on doing a recable on my Portapros. Importing mogami cable is hard for me and I might just use the standard Hi-Fi 0,75mm from this DYI store. The guy said it's a nice cable for audio, but Idk what to...

    Pull&Bear headphones - good encasing for Portapros?

    This is a ranting + DYI thread. If you dislike ranting, please don't comment that.   I was interested in buying a pair of these to immediately remove the "driver" and put in a pair of drivers from my Portapros. My girlfriend is really into stylish headphones and I upset her talking about...

    ASUS Eeepc 1005PX sound quality?

    I am currently close to buying a laptop. It's mostly for school work, but I would also use it for listening to music while I type in college. My cans are decent, and I feel I'm more limited by my soundcard than by headphones.   So does anyone have any experience with this? Is the soundcard...

    Shure SRH750 with isolation?

    So, as I posted before, I was looking for some cans around 100$, and I came to an arrangement where the SRH750 would be my ideal choice. Problem is, I ride a bus to college, and that sucks when it comes to noise.   So far I never noticed because I use the stock IEMs that came with my Sony...

    Avalanche City - Acoustic band, really enjoyable, and the album is free to download

    So here I am at 4am, losing my sleep, and why? To be the first (?) to post here about Avalanche City. It's this really recent band, they only have 1 album so far. In their own words, "Avalanche City is about sunshine, ice creams and accordions, adventures and road trips and sailing away to...

    Closed cans, need help

    I'm still kind of new to the forum, this is just my 2nd thread. Now, I recently acquired the Koss PortaPro and kramer'ed them. After some burn-in and going out, I understand I really need some closed cans. I mostly travel by bus/subway, and those can get very noisy. I have some Sony...

    Using EAC+LAME with Windows Media Player 11

    Now, you must all be wondering why on earth am I using the best CD-ripper with the best lossy encoder available, and then I'm using such a low player like WMP. Well the thing is I own a Sony A845, and since Sony dumped my long-loved Sonicstage, which was amazing at organizing libraries, I now...
