Me & the Audio Voyage: For the sake of contrast, I am a proud and loud audioholic. I love spending time evaluating everything in my audio chain now & again, although I have to admit I do not get enough time of late. I do not like structure in writing so much, preferring a stream of...

Magnifying a short point in the massive history of Sony, I would like to showcase the awkwardness of Sony in its R&D between early 2000 and a decade after. I would explain my take on two of Sony premium products - one is the SA-5000(SA5k) from early 2000 and the latter era is represented by the...

Had a meet with a friend here who goes by the name of Wrathzombie. Great gear and he was super informative. A very experienced audio enthusiast.   The light was not the brightest and all I could take was an outdated pocket camera - that can't really shoot anything above iso 200 tbh.  ...

I just been listening close to 8 hours straight on this y'all ...ever heard one of these? let me open the can here... BYOSA5K!... if you live in the 'highs', may be there is not much to further look at..    Can't put this up in any review or product thread - due to the upgrade cable - 7N occ...

Hello all,     I just thought of sharing my experiences with Kiteki, his vast sea of knowledge and his brilliant imagination which by large remains unparalleled in Head-Fi...   Im pretty sure that I am not the only person who have seen him land bombs of knowledge in threads across...

I just got my pair and can't really believe my ears! convinced me enough to start an appreciation thread for these while they have a 50-100 hours burn-in!   Lately all the gossip has been happening in Clieos thread below : ...

it is very hard to control the extra 10+ db of sound that the sony pumps in the bass registers.. and i know i am late at EQing this mostly coz I got better headphones and completely stopped using the XB500s.   now i've EQd this to match some of my other cans like the shure se 535 , dt 990...

i couldn't find a good se 535 to re 272 comparison, so here it is   some points that I noted    properties of sonic acoustics:    clarity : both have the same amount of clarity though I'll have to favour the re-272s mainly coz of its 'analytical/lean' presentation and clean sound  ...

which one would be the best choice for me?  I already have a shure se 535 and a dt 990 pro.....which i run out of an ipod/laptop and an onkyo a/v receiver respectively... so what would be a relatively better addition to my audio arsenal?

i've been eyeing the baldur mk2 cable for a while now, but will adding a serial resistance adapter be a cost-effective alternative?

my shure se 535 has a very convincing sound and i can't ignore the fact that i am very happy with them ...but now i have around 100 pounds - 150 dollars to spare...and im lookin for a very analytical sounding iem with absolute clarity,detail and transparency ....will the dba02/b2 be in the right...

i've been travelling a long and hard route as far as my audiophilia is concerned, mainly cause of 2 reasons - availability of 'recommended' audio equipments in my country and the fact that 'budget' is a word that is always applied to my purchase(3rd reason being im stingy!) my craze started...

WHICH ONE WOULD BE A BETTER STEP FOR A BUDGET AUDIOPHILE?

been checking out different eqs with my XB500. almost everyone have their own tweaks (due to a common complaint of the bass leaking into the mids) ...i found one that 'wakes up the sleeping giant'(@malveaux)... equalize the headphones by comparing and adjustings its frequency response with that...

i went through all the threads and posts regarding this topic ...but im still unclear as to any prominent differences among the 3. does the hd 681b have a better balanced(and thus a 'warmer' feel in the mids) as compared to the standards? does it have more similarity to the 668b sound?  and...

hello, this being my first post i wish u all a good and healthy pair of ears... ..looking for a closed set of cans for detail monitoring and reproduction   since im in a third world country i find it hard to get good headphones for a price thats considered budget at head-fi....besides...
