    Sub $100 with punchy bass?

    I've been using a pair of the original RockJaw Alfa Genus earbuds for awhile and I'm kind of bored, what would be a good upgrade from them while maintaining the punchy bass they have? Oh, and I'd prefer them to be closed. I'll be using them at work and my co-worker chews like a moron so I need...

    Schiit Lyr: Which stock tubes?

    I tried searching but didn't see any questions about this, but of the two stock tubes, which ones should I do with?  There's the GE 6B2Z and the JJ E88CC, I have no clue how they differ from each other.

    Amp and DAC for HE-400s

    I've been getting some help in the official HE-400 thread, but more opinions are always good.  I have a new pair of HE-400s that I'm using with my LD MK1+ and HM-601 right now, but I and willing to spend $400 total on both an amp and DAC.  So far I've been recommended the LD 1+ as an amp but...

    Back to the drawing board I guess... ~$500 budget, which headphones?

    I was initially going to get the Denon D5000s but now I guess they're being discontinued and I can't find any around to actually listen to.  One of the places I emailed suggested I try the Grado PS500s.  I have a pair of SR225s right now and to be honest I'm kind of tired of having headphones...

    What do you do when you can't hear headphones before buying them?

    I still want to get some Denon D5000s but there isn't a single place around here that sells them in store, so I can't listen to them before dropping $430.  What would you do in this case?  I haven't looked around at the various return policies to see if I'd get hammered with a re-stocking fee or...

    What is the minimum I need to do the D5000s justice?

    I have SR225s right now and I'm kind of bored with them.  I listen to a lot of rock, metal, acoustic, progressive rock/metal, and some jazzy type stuff.  I keep going back to the D5000s based on what I read from people who use them, but I don't know what I need to notice any difference from the...

    I have a stupid question... HM-601 charger?

    I have used this sporadically since I received for Christmas and thus have not had to charge it until now.  Is this the charger for it, I can't even remember which one it came with...

    Headphone for mother

    I got my mom a Sansa Clip+ awhile back but she's still using the crappy supplied earbuds.  I was letting her listen to my SR225s through my HM-601 and she loved them, she asked me how much they cost and all that.  She doesn't want to spend that much so I was going to look into a pair of SR60s...

    Clip+ battery sucks

    I've been noticing once my Clip+ gets to about a quarter full it drops to zero within a half hour or so.  I'm about ready to smash it because I forget to charge it (who would think 1/4 battery wouldn't last more than that) and it dies in the middle of my workout.  Is this a common issue?  I...

    Feeling it out: $350 limit, upgrade from SR225s?

    I've had my Gradio SR225s for a few years now, and while I'm pleased with them I'm bored at the same time.  I decided to maybe look around to see what else is out there.  Problem is, I've only ever heard these and have no clue what "style" of sound I even like.   I don't know of any places...

    Best soundcard for $100 max?

    I don't really feel like spending any more right now, I just need something better than my POS Creative Audigy 2 ZS.  I will not buy a Creative device as long as I live, so it has to be something other than that.   The only one I found is this one, is it any good?  ...

    Audio Engine A5 crackling

    My right speaker is crackling, I've had them for maybe 2 years at the most.  I did just move my room around and got new carpet and it's extremely dusty, what are the odds it's just dust and not a dying speaker?  I've never turned them up too loud or anything to risk damaging them.

    Mini shelf system for workout

    Right now I'm using my Clip+ with my Altec Lansing Zune speaker dock.  Every other song I have to stop and adjust the bass because the thing distorts and it's really annoying, so I wanted a mini shelf system that would have a sub and some "boom".   I'm not looking on spending a lot because...

    I need an alternative to EAC

    Time and time again I have trouble getting this stupid program installed and working right.  Now I installed it and it'll just close out of nowhere on my system, giving no error.  I'm done with it and I'm not changing my mind.  Anything where you need to go through a 5 page guide just to set it...

    Need a new player

    Well, turns out my Zune 80 doesn't cope well with my workout anger when the stupid ass thing freezes playing music.  Now it's stuck in player recovery mode.   So, I need a new player.  I was thinking one of those new Cowons but now I don't remember what the newest versions are.  I don't want...

    AudioEngine A5 4.0 setup?

    I got a pair of A5s awhile ago, and was thinking of getting two more.  Is it possible to run them in a 4 speaker setup?  If so, is it advisable?  I'd think it might get annoying having to control two sets of volume, but I don't know.

    Seems like my Zune 80 is dead

    Well, I bought it the day they were released and never used it a ton, but I was using it to work out with (with the M604 speakers). I didn't keep up with charging it as much as I should have, and this last time it fully drained seemed to kill it. Can't get it to turn on, can't get it to charge...

    My AudioEngine A5s came

    I need help setting them up already. I'm going directly into my soundcard, which is an Audigy2 ZS and I'm having a brainfart about what to connect where. Maybe it's because I'm so used to 4.1 setups but I don't know what to plug into the soundcard and go into the speaker. Could it be as simple...

    What sort of amp is needed to power the DT990s?

    For some reason these headphones stick in my mind for what to try next. What I have now is in my sig, will the MK I+ be enough to drive these headphones? I like my Grados as I usually listen to rock and metal, but can't help feeling I could use some more bass. These seem to have that based on...

    I need new speakers and sound card

    Ok, I am fed up with Creative sound cards and will never buy another one. Worst software ever, garbage support. Nothing ever works. I'm just done with it, I don't even want to go into it. So I was thinking of getting an Auzentech. I think that part is done, but next up is speakers. Since...

    Slight static/hissing normal with amps?

    A question for anyone who has one, do you have a little hiss/static? I can't notice it when music is playing, but when I'm just browsing I hear a bit of a hiss. David over at Little-Tube said that since I bought it from an unauthorized dealer that I probably got a "B stock or damaged good"...

    Finally using my Little Dot MK1+

    After having it sit on my desk for a month waiting for Christmas, I finally got to use it. I don't know all the technical things or terms so I really can't describe the sound other than "good'. It makes me Zune sound much better, the soundstage seems better and the bass is better as well...

    Before I finalize my wishlist, Little Dot MK 1+?

    I'm looking to get one for my Zune 80 + Grado SR225s and I'm not sure how it'll sound. Honestly, I can't even stand listening to my Zune by itself after plugging my 225s into my Logitech speakers, and someone here told me that an amp will sound even better. Is that true? I'm not sure how that...

    Since the new LD MKI+ is more than the old one...

    It'll be just over $200 shipped, which is honestly more than I was going to spend, but if I have to I will. My question is since it bumped me up to the $200+ league, is there a better one for the money or is it still considered as the best amp for $200ish? I have a Zune, Grado SR225s and...

    Amp for Zune 80 and Grado SR225

    I guess I'd like to amp my headphones since there isn't really much bass at all just out of the Zune, so I was hoping to get some input. I'd prefer to get something I can take with me, so I guess that means a mobile one, since I rarely sit here and listen to music on anything but my speakers...
