Anyone else using tri-flange tips on theirs? I modified a pair to fit on my Triple.fi 10s ... they fit fine to the base but they need to be shortened to prevent any change to sound. I've noticed the best fit and isolation with these but everyone else who tries mine thinks their way too...

Having replaced my SF5 Pros (and SF5 EB before them) with the TF10 Pros I can say that I'm definitely happy with the additional depth of bass. Listening to much bass heavier music, you'll definitely appreciate the better precision the Tf 10s have. I think a better level of clarity is what hit me...

Could you give some kind of idea on the pricing they have? Can't see anything listed on their site.

HD595s are pretty good for that price range. I'd have to recommend the Audio Technica A900 first though. These are pretty much the only cans that I've kept for more than 2 years other than some Koss. I even bought another pair for a family member; the overall sound quality is great with awesome...

That was entertaining. Any other similar articles written by objective and reputable sources?

You can definitely get a good deal on older receivers but yeah, they're mostly either going to be local pickup or the shipping is going to make it overpriced. Just look through your local Buy/Sells or search online for sales within driving distance.

That's not too bad for custom fitted molds ... I'm also interested to see how they turn out. Anyone know of any other companies offering fitted mold services like this?

I used the MDR-EX70s for some time and briefly tested a pair of Super.fi 3s and don't really recall it being much better. Either way, I wasn't convinced of upgrading. I did end up going with Super.fi 5 Pros though and that was a world of difference. To me, there was a distinct upgrade in...

Definitely try flipping the cables first ... good chance it could be the connector or wire. I've also noticed the amazing seperation and stage on my triple.fis and I assume that makes it pretty difficult to troubleshoot your issue on recordings. You could just download some frequency sweeps...

You could also buy a shipping service off of eBay. For a few dollars, they usually take PayPal payments to purchase stuff online then reship it a lot cheaper than the retailer would.

That's kind of how I feel about all the other cards I've used; there's always some issue that I have to troubleshoot around or something doesn't work in playback and I just end up compromising somehow. I've never had any issues with my E-MU since I installed it. And this is on my main rig so I'm...

I agree, just for sheer convenience, active monitors should be the first consideration for a small room computer setup like that. And yes, there are lots of musical monitors perfect for that application. I haven't heard the Dynaudios but I was pretty impressed by the NHT M-00s and a few...

For actual music listening I'd have to put in my vote for some NHT active monitors, their entry-level M-00 speakers can definitely compete within that price range (considering you don't need to pick up an amp). I've tested these hooked up to my E-MU card with TRS and with the XLR add-on and they...
