For the last two years my source has been a modded E-MU 0404 (with an AD8620 op-amp and something else too, I don't remember) as my source for music listening. It's fine, but I've been thinking of an upgrade lately. Reading around here pointed me in the direction of the Mhdt DACs in general and...

Why have they just released DSOTM? I'd love to hear Animals or Wish You Were Here on hi-rez. Anything in the works perhaps?

I have a chance to get this player at a great price as an upgrade from my Sony SCD222ES. Is it worth it? Does it sound better on redbook?

I've had this player since early summer and used it quite a bit. Then a while ago the Shure E2s I had bought started cutting out on the right channel when the cable was moved around/twisted, I thought I just had bad luck with the Shures and switched over to my Etymotic ER4Ps instead. Then today...

I'm thinking about picking up an amp and a pair of speakers for my listening pleasure. Currently on my list of speakers are the Infinity Alpha 20s and the B&W DM601 S3s. Does anyone know which of these would be best for hard rock type music and the occasional movie? Emphasis is on music, 'cause...

I'm debating whether I should save up some money and get a speaker system to complement my headphones. There are at least two big problems however. Firstly the room which they will be placed in is quite small, this rules out floorstanding speakers (I think, tell me if I'm wrong). Secondly I...

Will these pads fit without modification on the Sonys? Are they better than the stock pads? The reason I'm asking is that I recently purchased a used pair of 7506s with earpads in so-so condition, and I figure I should change the pads when I get them. If the Beyers are no better, where can I...

This album really sounds great when listening with headphones, I just love his voice and the way it is mixed. The soundstage feels like it's surrounding my head with the singer in the middle. Truly an awesome disc, highly recommended.

There's a CD on half.com that I really want, could someone please buy it for me and then ship it to me in Sweden? I'll pay via paypal and of course give you a little extra for your trouble if you want. Please, someone, I'm practically desperate! EDIT: Send me an e-mail and we can talk...

I know this is hard to compare, but I'd just like to get an estimate so that I'm not listening too loud. On my Panasonic 570 (2x9mw@16ohms I believe) I have the volume somewhere between 1 and 1.5 out of 10. On my Headmaster I usually have them somewhere at 5-10% or below. Is this too much?

Today I received the Etymotic ER4-Ps I bought last week, and I could not be more excited right now. They simply blow the ER6s I previously thought to be perfect out of the water. I cannot put into words how much I am loving these 'buds right now, but I may write something later. For those of you...

Ok, so I found a place where I can buy it. The next question is: is it any good? All the reviews I've found can't stop raving about it, but I prefer input from actual users. Anything and everything you have to say about this piece of kit, let's hear it. Thanks.

I'm somewhat interested in purchasing this player, but the big problem is that it seems impossible to find it here in Europe (I live in Sweden). So, does anyone know of an online store that ships the Slim X to Sweden (preferrably the european version)?

Does anyone here like MST3k? If so, what is your favorite episode? And please vote in the poll.

Today when I put my EX70s on (in?) for the bus ride home from school I immediately noticed something was wrong. There was almost no sound at all coming out of the left channel. So I fiddled around with them and tried almost everything I could think of, other sources etc. Nothing worked, I was...

Since you lucky dogs will be spending the day in the Etymotic facility I assume you will get to listen to the new ER6s. I'm simply wondering if someone could be nice enough to bring a pair of EX70s for comparison? I'm pretty set on getting a pair of ER6s for $117, but knowing how they compare to...

...is to keep away from your 'phones for a few days. When you pick them up again they will sound just incredible. At least it works for me.

Does anyone know how well this dvd/sacd player performs on red book CDs as well as SACDs?

I've recently done some listening to a pair of MDR-7506s, and I've really come to like the way they sound. They would also come in extra handy now that I've lost one of the mid-sized gaskets for my EX70s thus pretty much making them unusable since my ears are too small for the large ones and too...

I'm curious to see how many forego the often better sound of full size 'phones* in favor of the convenience of 'buds when on the go, so vote away! *Ok, all the Ety users can sit down again. I said *often better*.

More specifically, are they warmer sounding? And how does the bass compare? I know it should have more of it, but how good does it sound? Also, the 3 m coiled cord seems to be somewhat of a hassle when it comes to portability, is it exchangable for something shorter? What I'm on the lookout...

I'm possibly looking to buy this album, but I would like to know how good it sounds first. Not the music, the recording.

I received my new ICs today and hooked them up hoping to get a great big increase in sound quality. And what did I get? . . . An incredible increase in sound quality! Compared to the VdH D102MKIIIs I had before these things were improved: Soundstage This is the biggest improvement...

Can anyone comment on these cables? Would they work well with my equipment?

My cdp is currently standing right next to my computer monitor with the amp on top of it, there's also a speaker on it (see pic below). My question is: is it possible that this placement affects the sound negatively? I should mention that the computer is always on when I'm listening to music...
