Joker, how would would you characterize the response of your HF5 to amping by something like your iBasso T4? Is there any marked improvement when the source is your Fuze?

Quote: I can still play music while playing games on my Rockboxed Fuze.

My Fuze couldn't do gapless playback until I rockboxed it. Along with the faster startup/shutdown and better battery usage, it was enough to convince me to go through the trouble.   Oh, I also play Tetris on my Fuze when I'm bored.

I'm a little late to the party here, but where would a good place be to get my preciousss this amp? I'm aware most places will be out of stock, due to high demand and a limited first production run. Which retailer do you guys suggest I keep an eye on for someone located in California?

I've been curious about these Beyerdynamics, thanks for the reviews.

Quote: It's quite the steal for 50 bucks. I got the P version from newegg a while back when they had it for 50.

It's the exact same shirt clip as on the M6, if you're familiar with that one. The clip itself does its job of clipping fine, but it's just mismatched with the cable on the CC51. As dziendobry wrote, the cable is thinner than the usual Meelec cable. So what happens is that the clip, if not used...

Quote: Wow, how people's tastes vary. I find that I like the CC51 more when I attenuate the bass a little with the EQ. And this comes from someone who does listen electronica and rock.

I haven't heard the R1 either, but I do own and use the M6. I listen to a bit of electronica; things like prog trance, big beat, and trip hop, but I'm not a self described basshead though as I do listen to tons of other genres of music. What I appreciate about the M6s is that they are fun and...

UE SuperFi 4 for $29.99 (and free shipping, I think) from Logitech after coupon superfi4_22511.

I'll guess Skullcandy Holua.   What an odd name - maybe that's the selling point?

Think of it as trying to single-handedly pull the world out of recession.

How does this compare with the Sw-Xcape, RE-0, and RE-ZERO? Their analytic nature (from what I read) seems to suggest comparison with BA driver IEMs.

Quote: If you're asking about the Monster refurbs, the page I linked says 30 days for returns and a 90 day warranty.

Refurb Monster Turbines are $50 at the Monster Outlet. Otherwise, I think the MEElectronics M series is big on bass.

I found my way to head-fi only recently while looking for IEM reviews and I seem to have found my way to quite the place.   As a newbie I applaud you, |joker|, for maintaining such a great thread. It serves as a great starting point for my learning. The sheer amount of information and the...
