Love my JH16, but curious about Roxanne. Can't really find dedicated discussion about differences, just small remarks. Anyone can say?

I need to plug my 3 pin power plug, into a 2 pin converter. It only works if I plug it in upside down (so to bottom prong is sticking out while the top two are plugged in). Is this safe? 

I want to try out the Stax flagship headphones they are too expensive to get blind. No stores even have it. How have you all been able to audition them before deciding to get them?

im streaming from a server using plex, is it lossless or is it compressing the music?

I can't find any impressions or reviews about it. 

Haven't been following custom IEMs in a few years. Last I remember they delayed the JH-A3 over two years. Did that ever come out? Did people like it?

With the expense of SR009/amp, would you sell all your components/headphones and just end up with one? Or is there still enough variety in sound that it is worth holding onto other headphones/amps/combos? I am trying to figure out if I should save money for a few months to get the Stax set-up or...

couple years ago it was all customs, now there isn't as much noise about custom IEMs. was it just a fad, or did the market get way too flooded?

Can someone tell me about the DX100:   - does it play ALAC? - does it work as a USB DAC/amp? - is it worth getting instead of hifiman 801/802? - any built in GB storage? - does it take 64GB micro SD cards - does it play 24-bit?   thanks for your help!! I know I can get some of...

sent 4-5 emails and didnt get even one response for my order, looks like we have another xin on our hands

I sold my ipod earlier this month and sent it off. I only now realize I had refunded him by accident because I was refunding an ebay deal. The buyer received it then and never said anything to me. Am i screwed because of this mistake? It put me out several hundred because i still had to refund...

Amp takes speaker wires, but this K1000 terminates to 4 pin XLR connector. where can I get an adapter or cable to go from 4 pin XLR to speaker wires to fit amp?

I have a deal for a 10+ year old RS-1, I'm only worried that the sound will be worse or that it wont last a long time since it is so old and their build quality already seems not too solid. So is it safe to get an older Grado?

I only have enough for JH13 or 16 out of my ipod touch 3G. So no $$ for amp, LOD, or custom cable for it. So % wise, how much % better is having a portable amp / LOD to it? And how much % better is having an alternate cable for it?

I want to get a PROTECTOR but without sacrificing the DAC quality of pico. So should I sell pico DAC/AMP and get a DAC only, and then connect to protector, to hear balanced? Or just stick with the ease of pico DAC/AMP? which would be a bigger improvement? Or do I not even need DAC and...

I see lots of peel sessions out there. What are these? Are they live recordings? Are they interesting/worth getting?

How do the portable ESw9 compare with the IEM, UM3X? I love the sound of my UM3Xs how musical they are and sound separation / crispy drums, and smooth sounding. But the ESW9 is interesting me now, since it is wooden and slightly bigger. Which has more potential? I am using pico , which naturally...

I prefer plastic / wood sound over metallic, because metallic sounds feels a bit sharp on my ears. Does the HF 2 have this at all? I see that it is both wood and metallic.

is it worth it to have a pico if you just have IEMs (UM3X), even though the DAC/amp costs more than the IEMs?

I saved up money for four months. saw a classy tag heuer , out of craigslist. and a great deal. $1500. I can sell for $2,000 on ebay. I feel great and confidence when wearing it, but its so expensive im scared to wear i except sometimes. now I've got no headphones or audio gear anymore that I...

What is the highest capacity player, with flash capability and can play rockbox or FLAC?

I am looking for a headphone that has these qualities, I am looking at edition 8 because it is more versatile and I can take it out with the dog or on trips, but I also want something that is high end / * capable for prog rock with fast, impactful sound/powerful bass and clarity * listen to...

I am putting together a portable rig to exercise with, is there any danger jogging with a portable amp, since their parts are so tiny and sophisticated it seems they would easily be damaged. I am looking at the IE8 or westone 3, and either pico or ibasso. I am interested in the strongest bass...

ran into this problem a couple times in the past few weeks it says "best" is too common a term to search for, but I think it is an essential term, what if someone wants to look for best IEM, or best headphones in a price range, etc... without wading through tons of pages. run into a similar...

GS1K is giving great sound, nice depth and impact but in extended listening makes one of my ears numb from the brightness/harshness, if I went down to RS1 or HF2, is it better for longer listening sessions and wouldn't cause these problems? I wear headphones about 80 % of the day
