Intro   Frank from Toxic Cables has been kind enough to let me audition his 8-wire hybrid IEM cable. My ears were pleased, however, my wallet was not as I ended up liking the cable so much that I had to buy it. Much like the one released by Whiplash this cable is also a hybrid cable...

  Intro   I’ve been lucky enough to have been using the Reference TWag v2 AND TWcu 26 Hybrid IEM replacement cable with my JH16 for quite some time now and I figure it’s about time I share my thoughts on this cable with the rest of the community.   I’ve been meaning to do this review...

I've been spending quite a lot of time with the "Scorpion" IEM cable by Toxic Cables lately and this is my review   Toxic Cables While Toxic Cables appears to have been in business for quite some time producing cables for various high-end full-size headphones it was only recently they got...

I'm about to move to a new apartment with a few buddies and this means I'll finally be able to play somewhat loud rather than constantly use headphones. This means my current Audioengine A5 probably isn't going to make do.   I've been researching quite a bit and I went to audition the Adam...

Hey guys!   As I'm trying to get more into computer audio I'm quickly running into problems. I managed to feed my Yulong D100 dac/amp with 24/96 properly with Foobar --> WASAPI --> Yulong D100 (hooked up via coax).   I do have some issues with volume control though. I've got my "Realtek...

Intro   Not long ago Starkey launched their canal-sized custom in-ear monitor HF-2. I've been lucky enough to get to review it and share my thoughts with the rest of the Head-Fi community.   The Starkey HF-2 utilizes a 2-way TWFK driver (single-case dual balanced armature) and a passive...

So, I've decided to learn to play an instrument. Nothing serious, but I felt like having something to do besides listening to music when I've got time to spare or trouble sleeping.   It was either the piano/keyboard or a banjo, and I really don't think my neighbours would appreciate me going...

Intro Stephen over at Custom-IEM.com has been kind enough to let me audition the "Thor" cable by Beat Audio. This is Thor's review of the Thor cable. (Yes, we do indeed have matching names).   With regards to the whole "does cables affect the sound of an IEM" I would like to clarify my...

Hey guys,   As I often find myself in need of tips whenever I test out a new IEM (not every product comes packed with accessories). Where do you fellow Europeans buy your tips online?   I haven't been able to find anything besides the Comply Foam ones.   My apologies if this has been...

Hey guys!   I've long been annoyed by the fact that when I use my headphones (Custom IEMs), that I have to keep the sound at 2-3%. When I go higher, it gets painfully loud. As you can imagine, this doesn't allow for a very sophisticated volume control, although my media players usually fix...

Simple question that YouTube couldn't help me with. Where is the background sample from?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QYHA2MJJ0c   Any help is appreciated.

Saw this on UM's facebook page - anyone know what cable that is?  

Seems there are none offered by ALO at the moment?

Looking for a new cable for my JH and incoming Heir 8.A's, and I got curious about the one UE does.   Would either of the 2 versions (pre or post 2010) fit my JH's?   Cheers

I've been doing quite a bit of reading regarding full-sized amps, but I find it hard to locate any sources of information that clarify anything regarding my specific needs.   I only own IEMs. Currently I have a JH16, a TF10 and a few other low-tier IEMs. Heir Audio 8.A CIEM on it's way.  ...

So, I'm contemplating whether I should get my first "home" amplifier or not. I currently own the JH16 and have the Heir Audio 8.A incoming.   I'm looking for something to drive these and nothing else. I do not own nor do I intend to own any demanding fullsize cans in the near future. My...

Wondering whether it's possible to get a wood skin for my iPod Classic?   Something along the lines of this, but for the Classic rather than the iPhone:  

This has probably been asked countless times, but my search came up empty so here goes..   I just received my TWag v2 IEM cable for my JH16's and while I really enjoy them, I miss the plastic-tube thingey that allowed me to bend the stock cable to stay fit down behind my ears without too...

So, I'm contemplating selling off my MTPC to fund another purchase. They're a bit worn, but they were purchased from Amazon, so the "no questions asked"-1 time warranty is intact.   My question is, could the person I sell these to eventually use that warranty provided I give him the reciept...

I was going to utilize that warranty thingie that gives you a new set of the MTPCs.   I never registered the product, but as far as I could gather off the website, that was not really a problem. I contacted MonsterCable via their support-formula 2 weeks ago and never heard back.   What's...

I talked to a fellow Head-Fi member who mentioned he stores his custom IEMs in a box with a desiccant pillow. I never gave that any thought, but if it'll help prolong the life of my beloved JH16s then I surely need to get hold of one.   Anyone know where I can buy these online? All I found...

What are my options for tablestands for my Audioengine A5? I'd really like to aovid anything DYI, as I have nothing but thumbs.   Looking to raise them around 15-20 centimeters. Adjustable would be awesome. 

Any possibility of having this done within Europe and if so, what companies offer this service? :-)

Hey guys.   Recently, I've been looking into changing my iPhone 4 for something else as my portable audio source. 32GB really is not enough for me, and I'd love the ability to have Rockbox with sufficient space, so I could carry around my main music library (FLAC).    However, I was...

I've had my Audioengine A5s for a while now, and I have surely enjoyed them. However, I feel like upgrading.   I'm looking for a set of passive speakers and possibly a matching subwoofer. My budget is around 1200-2000USD. My cousin has offered me his NAD C326BEE at a reasonable price, as he...
