In what looks like a very bad breakup between the Australian distributor and reseller of Focal and Naim there has been a fire sale of sorts here in Australia with prices of Focal headphones being just ridiculous thus trashing the brand here in Australia and ruining any resale value for those who...

Accidentally reverse into your garage door??   I feel like such a d&%khead for doing this and as it has never happened to me before was wondering if it is a common thing.   I hope so as according to the missus it's the end of world as we know it.

I should probably have posted in the appropriate thread bit I want as many as possible to see this as it was a promise to @jmills8   I should also point out I did personally attack this member on this subject and should not have.   It would appear my objectivity got the better of me re my...

Any fans here??   Stumbled across them whilst using musicmap to find new music.   http://www.music-map.com/   New track from their upcoming album Hot Streak;     I gotta say I'm very impressed.

Fellow Headfier's,   Let me 1st say this is not a witch hunt. Just a search for honest answers with regard to a hot topic of late, the famous or infamous Fiio Scroll Wheel.   One rule and that is to be if you can entirely honest and dismiss any bias. I say this because I myself love their...

"It is important to mark the source end of the cable with marker or tape (or note direction of the writing on the cable) on the cable as the run in time/process makes the cable directional ( i.e. better sounding in one direction only)".   "I for example could provide plenty of scientific...

G'Day All,   As the title suggests I'm looking at a wireless rig for my daily 2 hour walks.   I've come up with the 7th gen iPod Nano and either the Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 or Jabro Rox Bluetooth in ear headphones.Reasons being the Nano is light and has great Blutooth performance and both...

Came across this auction on eBay today whilst browsing for 2nd hand headphones. This, however, is way out of my budget.   Wonder what they will go for.   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131320287937?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649   Thought some people here on Head.Fi might...

Came across this on eBay today and thought I would pass it on to my fellow Australian headfier's - looks to be quite cheap. I would have jumped on it myself but I've already spent way too much this year on my addiction.  ...

Hi Headfier's,   Have not posted for a while so hope this thread finds all you Headfier's happy and well.   OK I have had the Shure's for quite a while now and I am having a little difficulty in choosing a reasonable upgrade from these cans. 1st of all let me say that apart from the fact I...

Now I have my entry level rig and a reasonable set of IEM's I'm after a set of full size cans but living where I do I am unable to audition them but after reading a few threads here I have come up with a choice of 3.   I listen to most genres with the exception of classical and hip hop.  ...

G'Day All,   My iBasso D6 arrived today along with a refurbished iPod 5.5g and LOD Cable.   The power supply that came with the amp does comply with Australian power requirements ie 100-240v 50/60Hz (230v 50Hz) but the pins are straight not at an angle so I cannot plug it in - damn!!  ...

G'Day All,   OK here is my situation - have been a portable listener for years using ipods/iphones with stock headpones etc.   Recently I have decided that I want a little/lot more from my gear and have made some mistakes in trying to achieve this ie just received a Zune 32Gb and it...

I am new to the portable music player Phenomenon but I now that I have the bug (and a much thinner wallet it seems) I have been seeing a lot of talk re headphone amps and pics of them, especially in the "show me your headphone stands" thread. What kind of difference can I expect relative to...

Here is my problem - I live in a remote coastal town where most poeple don't know what an MP3 file is let alone an iPod?? I am considering purchasing the Etymotic ER-6i's for a 4th generation 20Gb iPod. As I am unable to listen to them before I buy I would appreciate some comments by members...
