so i've been into headphones since i was a tyke. 36 now.  i generally listen to IEMs (shure 215,535) but i also love my Grado RS 1s and my SR80s. i use a pono as my source 50% of the time and the other 50% i use a Little Dot MK3 tube headphone amp. i'm looking to start the process of researching...

recently had my favorite iems stolen/lost during travel.  lost out on two auctions on the ebay too.  ugh.  just venting!

Enjoying my i20 but recently the power supply has been making weird noises. The noise is a like a super high pitched hum which happens totally independent of the dock. Once I unplug the wall wort it goes away. I'm thinking I need to replace it. Since I'm in the market I thought I'd ask around...

so i just finished the faq and manual for rockbox and i must have this! One thing tthough i havent any access to a windoze machine and im not sure i can do the manual conversion to fat 32 on my own. Has anyone out there rockboxed your ipod who might be willing to rockbox mine if i send it to...

i've been using my mk III for a few hours now and i've noticed a few things.  one when using my iphone with an apple dock i get a clicking or diginoise sound.  i do not get this noise when i use the headphone out.  this does not happen when i swap out the iphone for an ipod.  with the ipod in...

So I loaned my beloved second pair of E5s to a friend who lost/had them stolen at the gym. I called shure and they don't sell them any more and I remembered this place is teeming with folks with good taste. I'm willing to pay a fair price or trade my super fi for a pair. PM me if you can help...

I received my mk III in the mail yesterday. I was stoked to start using this unit. I read the manual and checked the tubes to be sure they were seated properly. Everything hooked up and ready to go I switched it on. It made a mild buzzing sound like many of my tube amps do then the glowing tubes...

i know this unit is not specifically meant as a headphone amp, but i use as such with my SR-80 and my UE Superfi's. i will soon be in possession of a gently used pair of RS-1s. i was wondering if the bellari would be a good amp for these phones or if i should drop some coin and get a new...

so i think i lost my second pair of E5c's. i was sure that i wrapped them back up and put them into their case and into my pocket, but i cannot find them anywhere. this is terrible. with twins on the way i cannot afford another pair of these. how am i going to listen to my music now? dare i try...

so i am using mt grado sr-80s and my shure e5s a lot more on my video ipod. one thing i was wondering: do i need some kind of preamp or can i just plug right into the ipod. for years i have been plugging in and have not noticed anything negative, but would i benefit from some kind of preamp? and...

hey now. long time reader even longer time lurker here. i am a vinyl listener pretty much. have a music hall 2.1 T/T with the standard tracking cartridge, a belari tube amp. i'm looking for something that would compliment that warm analog sound. i've had a pair of shure e5s for a while, but i'd...

so i somehow lost my ec5's. i received them as a gift. i really miss them. so i am looking to replace them, but thought it might be helpful to ask the forums for some advice. i really liked the sound i heard from the shures, but i am not married to them. honestly $500 is my limit and i would...
