    need recommendation for GR07 upgrade

    Hi all, I've been using the regular GR07 mainly through my galaxy s4 and MacBook pro, and I am very pleased with its good sound and little leakage. But I am wanting to upgrade to something with better sound that is just as portable, and has better isolation. I would also like if it won't...

    Need Replacement Pads for my HD 650

    Hi guys,   So after 5 years of solid good use my pads are getting nasty and flat, but the official Sennheiser replacement pads on Amazon and Ebay are outrageously expensive, almost as much as my aftermarket cables, which I find ridiculous. I found a couple good-looking 3rd party options on...

    Venus Audio Shipping

    Hi,   Last wednesday I ordered a 15 foot Canare Furutech cable from Venus_Audio's Ebay store, and haven't gotten any word on the package/shipping information. On the order info it still says the package hasn't been shipped yet, which I find hard to believe. Almost all the seller reviews...

    How long does it take for Venus Audio to ship?

    Hi,   Last wednesday I ordered a cable for my HD 650 from its Ebay branch, but I can't track the package, and it just shows up as not having been shipped yet. How long do these deliveries typically last? I don't know if the cables are made to order or not.

    How to use my new amp?

    Hi guys,   For a while I used the schiit modi as my DAC, but now I have a new Audeze Deckard and am wondering if I should bother with using the Modi when there's a DAC in the Audeze. Which would be better sound quality?

    What amp shall I get? (Answer and I'll give you a candy)

    Hello guys,   I recently purchased Klipsch RB-51 II bookshelf speakers and am planning to get an amplifier. However I am thinking of just using my Qinpu A-3 integrated amplifier (my current headphone amp for my HD 650's) to drive the speakers, and get a new headphone amplifier. I have looked...

    Need help finding TV speakers

    Hello,   I live in a pretty small cottage and am looking for a low-budget sound system for my TV because the in-built speakers suck. My budget is about $100 but I don't mind going a little bit over. The TV room is pretty small, and I don't want the speakers to be too wide (no wider than 6-8...

    Should I get a new cable for my HD 650

    Hi guys   The stock cable for my HD 650 stopped working. Thankfully I got an old HD 650 cable that I now use, but I am thinking of getting another HD 650 cable. Will there be any sound improvement or is it just a waste of money?

    Please help this hopeless noob of an audiophile

    Hi everyone,   I'm a newbie with a setup consisting of an A-3 Qinpu amp and an HD 650 with modi DAC. I've had my phones for almost a year now and have, unfortunately, dropped it (BY ACCIDENT!!!) two or three times. My concern began when I was listening to some bassy songs when I noticed that...
