I'm looking for some low impedance IEMs that will sound ok without an amp.  For what it's worth I love sennheisers (HD650 and IE8).  I love my IE8 and will keep it; i'm just looking for some cheaper IEMs that I won't need an amp for when i go for a bike ride.  Any recommendations?

First of all, I love this amp but for a while now i've been having issues with the output.  If the jack is moved a certain way it will cut out a lot of the sound.... it won't cut out a channel entirely but will get significantly quieter or the bass will cut out.  I listen to it while riding my...

So my ipod's HD crapped out on me (AGAIN!) and i'm looking to replace it asap.  As much as i like the capacity, the ease of use, and the aesthetics of the ipod, i don't want to replace it again just to have it crap out after a year again.     i've been using IE8's powered by ibasso's d2+ and...

hey guys -   my rega p1 has been in the closet for years now and i'm finally looking to get it spinning again.  i used to feed it into a cheap phono preamp into a cheap headphone/speaker tube amp ( i want to say it was a little dot but i know it wasn't.... same price point though) and i had...

Hey dudes, my buddy is leaving for the philippines and i was thinking of getting him some cans.  thing is he leaves tues night so i need to go buy them from a store.  i live in orange county.  my budget is ~$50.  i'd like them to look nice. he's by no means an audiofreak (he knows i am).  any...

hey i have a 6th generation ipod that broke after a friend dropped it.  it may be broken beyond repair but i thought i'd give it a shot here because i know there are a lot of talented DIY folks here.  anyways, when i hold and press the middle button and the play button, the screen turns on and...

hey guys i haven't been so active here since the website overhaul a few years back.  i had a feedback thread but its' not linked to my name.  how do i make that available for others to see?

Hey guys i've been using my D2+ directly into triple.fi 10 for a couple years now.  I love the sound quality so i've never had the urge to really change.  the only thing is the navigation on the D2+ is kind of awkward.  i also don't like the boxi-ness of the unit itself, i kind of wish it was a...

yo poker faarreaks.  where do you guys read up on poker when you're not wasting your time here.  i googled 'poker forums' but the results were pretty stupid.   mostly looking for strategy, but links to like streaming live poker would be cool too.

i was reading some article about Cream and Jack Bruce referenced Jaco Pastorius as one of the greatest rock bassists. can any of you guys recommend anything awesome that he played in? doesn't have to necessarily have to showcase his talent if the music is good, but it would be nice.

so before i'm yelled at to use the search thread... i did. i came across a thread that asked for the 'essentials' for the death metal, but the suggestions were ridiculous/laughable. i hesitate to even ask for suggestions because i feel that it is a genre where you must sift through so much...

hi forgive me if this has been addressed but i did a quick search and the only thread that i thought was relative to my question did not give me an answer. i just received my d2+ today and noticed some issues with the order of songs on certain albums. the only albums that seem to be ok are the...

hey newegg has some pretty sweet deals right now. particularly 16gb sdhc card for $33 and 8gb sansa clip for $38.

sup doods. So my uncle wants to by his new wife (my new aunt!) a bicycle but i have no idea about women's bikes. Me and my brother got him into fixed gear bikes and he's been riding that a lot. They're moving into a place in Santa Monica and he wants to buy her a bike. It won't be for long...

hey i had a question about which comply foam tips fit for the super fi 5 pro. i searched here and found that the t(x)400s fit but comply's site says t(x)500. just wanted to clarify before i placed my order.

i stumbled on this and thought it was funny. Apparently their philosophy is quantity and not quality! thewosexperience.com

Hey pardon my nubness but where can i find the page for product reviews? thought i saw it somewhere before... edit: i found the link for dedicated sources on top. where's the rest?!

hey all. my brother leaves again, and i won't be seeing him for good while. He's going to montreal for a few months then going to europe to travel/work/explore. I kind of want to get him something but i'm having trouble coming up with something good. initially i was going to give him money but i...

< i posted this on a motorcycle forum too, but i prefer head-fi and i know there are a lot of bike enthusiasts here so i though i'd post here as well> Hey guys. so after waiting a month for my clutch to be replaced (won't ever go back to this mechanic) i go to pick my bike up, but it will not...

hey i was for sure going to buy the wharfedale 9.0's from sto sound and vision for like $130(?) but now i'm wondering if will really be a worthwhile upgrade from what i have. right now i'm using my dared mp5 i stole from my brother. the speakers i'm using are jbl control 1x. i honestly don't...

hey guys. i'm an EE student and my shoebox is not longer doing the job for holding all my components. now that i'm taking more higher division labs, i need a tackle box to hold all my resistors, caps, boards, wires, etc. a lot of students have really nice and nifty tackle boxes. i went over...

quick question: can someone explain why there are 4 inputs in this speaker? does this have anything to do with bi-wiring? will it work if i just hook it up with 2 terminals like how i'm used to?

i'd like to upgrade to a decent pair of speakers and have read a lot on these wharfedales. i'm leaning towards the 9.0 because they're a little smaller. what do you guys think about this price? link

my mom likes to watch japanese tv on her laptop (soaps, comedy, etc.) and she used to use the website asianrice.com. lately, however, her laptop has been getting spywarez and other things and we suspect that it was from that site, especially after she got my dad's laptop messed up too...
