    Is the WA7d a good upgrade over the m9xx?

    I'm currently using the m9xx as my daily dac/amp but the wa7d is on massdrop for a decent buy. Is it worth the upgrade to the wa7d? I'm currently using the m9xx with: -HE-560 -TH-X00 -LCD2v2 Thanks!

    What is considered the "Hi-Fi Trio"?

    So there was a recent post on Reddit about what is considered the best three headphones to own and I'm wondering what Head-Fiers consider to be the three 'must-haves' in their collection? (I'm also curious as I'm looking at the HD800, TH900, T1, and Alpha Primes to add to my collection of HE500...

    HE-500. Check. LCD-2rev.2. Check. HE-560. Check (unfortunately).

    What's the next step up from the HE-500 in terms of crispness and clarity and definitely the mids and highs and yes, the subbass too. Every other headphone I've listened to so far (granted it isn't a lot) did not make me want to get rid of the 500s. Instead I would probably get rid of the LCD2...

    Disappointed with the HE-560.. Is the TH-900 a good upgrade from the HE-500/LCD-2 rev.2?

    The 560 seemed too plain to me whereas the 500, I enjoyed the highs and mids quite a bit more. Of course it helps that I listen to a lot of electronic music with female vocals. My question is this: I'm looking for a permanent (HAH!) upgrade from my 500. Would the TH-900 give me more of the 500...

    'ticking' during playback with Schiit Modi and HiFiMan EF-5 to HE-560i

    I've noticed a 'ticking' or 'clicking' noise every few seconds during playback of tv shows or even music at lossless. It's very noticeable. Do I need to reroll my tubes? Currently using Telefunken E88CC.

    Argh..so many options....which one?!

    I have the HE-500 and the LCD-2 currently and I honestly love the sound of the HE-500 over the LCD-2. To me, the LCD-2 seems just slightly muddled compared to the HE-500 but has a better sub bass. I think I enjoy the highs from the HE-500s over the pros of the bass of the LCD-2. Should I get the...

    Looking for a big brother to my LCD2.2 and HE-500s!

    Now that I've had time to listen to both on my mjolnir/gungir stack I can easily say, and wish, that I could be somehow using both headphones at the exact same time. I love the bass of the LCD2.2 but the soundstage, mid, and highs of the HE-500. The smaller soundstage has its moments and i love...

    If you could only have one pair of 'summit-fi' headphones (flagships only!)...

    I have the he-500 and lcd2 now powered with Mjolnir/Gungnir. My next step would be to get a flagship pair. However, I don't plan on having multiple flagships as that would be, in my opinion, excessive for me. My question is which flagship is the best all-around pair that can pretty much make...

    Upgrading from HE-500: LCD2 or SRS-3170 System?

    I'm currently using a pair of HiFiMan HE-500s with a EF-5/Bifrost combo. I mainly listen to electronic with the occasional rock or classical song. Would the LCD-2 with current amp/dac combo or the Stax SRS-3170 (no clue on dac yet) system be a better upgrade? I've had the HE-500 for about a year...

    Looking for a pair of cans to go along with my HE-500s.. Suggestions?

    I'm using the HE-500s (with EF-5) for everything at the moment but I know they're not the best for every type of genre. Any suggestions on a pair of cans (and perhaps an amp) that would go well with the HE-500s?   Type of music I listen to (in order): -Electronic -Rock (Mostly Classic)...

    What are my ortho+amp options for electronic music?

    I'm currently looking at either the LCD-2 or the HE-500. I'm going to be using them mostly for electronic with a little bit of everything else (rock, jazz, rnb, pop (in that order)). If not orthos, what are options do I have? I'm looking for something that is under $1000.   Any suggestions...

    D7000 or waiting for the D7100?

    Should I just go ahead and buy the D7000s or wait for the D7100s to come out and read some reviews on them first? Does anyone know if they will have the same sound signature considering they have a new group designing and engineering the new line.

    UM3X or SM3 or... for my tastes?

    I've been scouring the forums for an idea of which one I would prefer but I don't think I've actually found anything geared specifically towards what I want out of them.   What I'm going to be using them for: Normal music playback Taking them to the gym (not for running) My taste in...

    Custom IEMs... Are they for me?

    What I've noticed with a lot of people with custom IEMs are that they also produce music as well as listening to them. Would custom IEMs be unnecessary for me if I were to just use them for listening purposes?
