    Do IEM's benefit from a Amp?

    not sure where i implied that in order to be an audiophile, you must spend lots of money.

    Looking for a first sub-$100 amp

    based on my searches, looks like the fiio improves bass.. is that what it mainly does? i prefer treble and soundstage over bass.

    Paypal question for transactions via head-fi

    what does "paypal protected" mean though? as in you can claim you never received the item, and paypal will just refund you? how would paypal even go about proving who is cheating who?

    Paypal question for transactions via head-fi

    So I have a question.. when someone pays for an item, do they use the "gift" option to avoid paypal fees? I don't really think paypal would really protect the buyer much, even if the transaction were really a purchase on head-fi... so what's the point?

    Do IEM's benefit from a Amp?

    i'm not a pro/true audiophile, and i can tell you that they certainly do. the soundstage and bass, at least to my ears, are noticeably improved.. even with just my govibe v5.

    Not sure what to do with my UE Triple Fi 10

    just bought mine from the amazon deal, since the nozzle on my e500's broke (right driver). i also decided to pay the $260 to get a new set of SE535's... i figured i could flip it for $350 and recoup $90, which would go into the $95 that it cost for my UE's..    but with the UE, i will...

    Kind of stuck in a hard place..

    Quote: yeah i was beginning to think that.. not sure if it's worth sending them $260. i think it might be better to find a pair of $200 IEMs.   selling the replacement won't net me much - i'd be lucky to get $350 for it. If I get lucky on ebay, it would have to sell for $400 for me...

    Kind of stuck in a hard place..

    btrw, do you think someone could actually fix this unit? i mean, shure is unable to do it.. although it's only the case for the IEM driver...

    Kind of stuck in a hard place..

    how much you think i could fetch? would probably be better to get the replacement and resell.

    Kind of stuck in a hard place..

    really? i've been out of the loop for so long.. that's great news. so the se535 is significantly better than the e500?

    Kind of stuck in a hard place..

    So I broke the tube that holds the foam to my shure e500, which is basically the SE530/535... sent mine in to shure and they say it can't be fixed. This means, since I'm out of warranty, that I have to pay $240+shipping/tax to receive a new unit.   I'm kind of broke right now, so I'm...

    30% off eBay B/O's: Amp time :)

    if ebay sent you a 10% coupon, it can be used in conjunction so you could possibly get up to 35% off. there's nothing that i really want at the moment, and i'm sitting only 2 purchases only.

    Suggestions to go with my Shure E500s

    damn, i need to buy something in 3 days to get the cash back.. pico is probably out of the question since it's so hard to attain. maybe i should just get an echo indigo and use it with my go vibe v5...

    Suggestions to go with my Shure E500s

    So I want to take advantage of the 25% cashback from ebay, so here are my criteria: - Has good synergy with Shure E500s - Has built-in DAC - Price range is $400-$500 (probably has to be bought used on this forum, and then have it posted on ebay) So far I'm thinking the RSA Predator, but...

    What causes one driver to sound more feint than the other?

    it's had enough time to dry... there's definitely something wrong with it.

    What causes one driver to sound more feint than the other?

    The right driver on my Shure E500 isn't working now... what are some possibilities? Clog is the obvious possibility... what about water? I washed my piece and dried it with toilet paper and put them in - i guess this was a stupid idea.

    Durability of SE530 vs. Triple.fi

    hm, the right channel on my e500's isn't producing loud enough sound... problem is, i got my set from ebay. you guys think they generally accept warranties from ebay purchases?

    Where to buy..

    yeah i did, it was 10 bucks.. so $20 total. i just got the mini to mini at radio shack... it's 3 feet long though, way too long for my amp. at least i have a working amp again though. it cost me almost $7.. not even sure if that was worth it. these things are so damn expensive. it probably...

    Where to buy..

    hm, thanks, i was thinking about radioshack too. the difference between the cable at radioshack and buying it a headroom mini to mini is only about $15.. wondering if i should just get it online instead? is there even a noticeable difference?
  20. afobisme

    Where to buy..

    a cheap generic mini to mini cable at a retailer? i just need any cheap one to test if my amp is broken or the cable.

    Anyone know how to contact Norm Dalgarmo?

    I bought his Go-Vibe 5 a while ago.. the input jack isn't functioning properly. I emailed him a few months ago, and he told me to make sure it was the input jack.. well, since then he hasn't responded to my emails. Or does anyone know who's willing to fix the input jack on my Go-Vibe 5?
