Is there a list of CanJam Exhibitors for NYC 2019?

johnman116 - vmoda m80s - nice but $170  a bit too much for just one headphone   cyberbully - the Sony cd900st $215 - no room to get 2 sets when 1 alone is over budget - $280 for the AKG k550, nice for me although I prefer Grado's RS2 for home thru NAD 3400 2 channel amp and IEM's Westone...

In a few weeks I am visiting one of my oldest friends and while he and his wife will not accept anything from me (I'm staying over at their place) The best way to make everyone happy is to give a gift to their kids. So here's my dilemma, The older child is a high school aged girl (10th or 11th...

Quote: Good to know about the burn-in mine probably only have 3-4 hours on them. I actually started using the RS2i's with my portable setup - an Ipod classic and a RSA P-51 - at first it was ok, but not special, I bumped the gain on the RSA and suddenly these cans took on a different...

Well I broke down and got a pair of RS2i's I have to say I have been missing out, my old headphones (Sony mdr-7506) do not even come close to comparing.    How long do you think these should be burned in before there is no longer and change in the sound? Will it lose some of the high end...

understood, but just so you know I currently use a pair of IEM's westone um3x's and while I prefer those for travel I was looking for full headphones for home use. The UM3X's are very linear and very accurate and sound incredible and I don't want to go to cans that are worse than those

I am not a Grado owner but have an interest in getting a pair. I listen to a lot of Rock, but also jazz, blues, funk. Would these be the way to go and which ones? The max I could go to is about $500 so RS2i's are a possibilty. I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-7506 that I've had for years so I...

this seems to be the thread for it - I am looking for advice in buying a set of headphones   for the most part I listen to jazz, funk, blues, rock, but also some electronica, punk, ska. When previewing stereo gear my go-to cd's / albums are Stanley Turrentine - "Cherry" (Japanese version)...

Well, I was warned about the costs of getting into this and so I have paid . I have a pair of UM3X-RC's that are run by a RSA P-51 w/ a RSA LOD, the question now is how do you put this all together - right now I am just using rubber bands, the "livestrong" wrist bands are just a little to loose...

Good thoughts on the Fiio's and seeing for myself, will look into it, the honest truth is that the UM3X's are plenty loud on both the ipod and the phone - I don't put the volume up all the way on either. Although with the phone I only keep them 1 or 2 tic's from the top volume level, 2 down when...

IjokerI thanks for the thread - I ended up with UM3X's of all things like their accuracy a lot. wish they had a bit more bass ,but not much

Noticed the wallet issue   - I ended up getting the Westone UM3X-RC's - can you recommend a portable amp for those, for use with either an Ipod classic or an android phone - so 2 cable connections - a ipod LOD to 1/8 plug and a regular 1/8 to 1/8. - I did some critical listening and found the...

Quote: In general the Shure se215's are pretty good, but they do have issues; I've find the bass to be to muddled, the mid's lost and the high end distorts. It's fairly decent for rock, but whenever I pay jazz or any piece with a lot of treble in it I get distortion, might be my source, but...

Hi All,   very new to all this. I posted on the portable amp forum and they directed me over here. I was looking to improve the sound out of my Shure se215's but was told I would be better off, getting better IEM's than going to an amp, at least with what I've got.   for the most part I...

just went to the link - OMG that's a lot of info to go thru   Just so you know I do appreciate all the answers and help - you are a much better bunch than some of the other forums (some audio some not that I deal with) - helping a newbie, especially since I know (I moderate a forum on a...

ok - for the most part I listen to jazz, funk, blues, rock, but also some electronica, punk, ska. (I grew up in the punk era and have an affection for that, even though most people look at me funny when they hear that) to give you an idea , when previewing stereo gear my go-to cd's / albums are...

$400 to $100 is an amazing price drop, it's one of those sounds almost too good things. I will definitely take a look at those 2 IEM's.   I wonder ... in 2 channel the rule of thumb is your speakers should cost about twice what the amp does. It's not a perfect rule and there are exceptions...

that's a new one to me what are tf10 or gr07 upgrades? -   I only have one pair of headphones Sony mdr-7506 (I think that's the part number) I tried a friends (he's a dj) and I've had them for ages - but I find that unlike most people I don't mind IEMs but over the head cans drive me to...

Great info - but I do not want cans - no over ears - I will be using IEM's

thanks for the quick response! -   I never thought of the se215 (sorry got the number wrong) as being bassy. I had a pair of klipsch s4's and found them to have too much high end, too tin sounding if that makes sense. I then went to a pair of thinksound tso2s which I liked but lost do to a...

I am new to head-fi and to headphone listening in general - I do not consider myself an audiophile, but I do have a fairly decent (if dated) home stereo (2-channel)   I find lately that I am traveling more for both work and pleasure and I take my ipod (160gb classic, not sure which...
