    SoundMagic/Focalprice Shipping, who's had problems?

    Just a quick update on this, my original second order never did show. However, I was told by Folcaprice if I paid an additional $2.00 for tracking (only the $2.00, not price of phones + $2.00) they would re-send a pair. I did so, and received the replacement pair in about 5 days. Moral of...

    SoundMagic/Focalprice Shipping, who's had problems?

    Hey guys. I bought a set of PL-30's from Focalprice.com on 10/07, and had them in my hands by 10/27. Liked them so much I bought another set on 10/27, and as of today 12/12, nothing. Same shipping address, everything identical. Emailed Focalprice.com, here's the response: We will adding...

    iBasso D2-Viper (Pictures, Impressions, and Reviews): Read the Rules!

    I must be nuts, because my hi gain unit sounds better overall than my lo gain. Lo gain is right out of the box, but I'm somewhat disappointed with how "underpowered" the lo gain feels. It is significantly less ballsy than any other amp I have, including GV6 and a Zero Audiocraft. I'd like to...

    OpAmps for the Viper-D2?

    Looks like there's some conversation already about different opamp combos in another thread, wondering if we can start a new thread specifically about what works, and what doesn't, in the D2? I've never rolled opamps before in any amp, so I'd love a primer on in general what size/type/...

    iBasso D2-Viper (Pictures, Impressions, and Reviews): Read the Rules!

    After a couple of weeks with my D2, and allegedly a high gain version at that, I am really pleased with the unit. I'm especially enjoying my KSC75's with my Zune/D2 combo. There's a really nice symmetry with these headphones. The low end of this amp is very noticeable, and adds a nice presence...

    iBasso D2-Viper (Pictures, Impressions, and Reviews): Read the Rules!

    I spent a couple of hours listening time last night, Zune 30 with predominantly 192kbps WMA rips. I said this in an earlier post, and I'll say it again, this thing has some really nice detail and separation. I'd go so far as to say it is a "crisp" sounding amp, not really warm, but certainly...

    Which earphones for blocking out noise?

    I own the CX300, Marshmallows, and Altec 716's (poor man's Ety's) and without question the Altecs/Ety's will give you the best isolation. I've got two kids at home under the age of 8, and with my eyes closed I can't tell they are in the room with me. Most would tell you, that's only slightly...

    iM716 DIY Pod Removal (aka, Podectomy)

    In my experience it depends on how far you "whittle down" the large white ends inserted into each side of the pod. I used a dremel tool with a small sanding roll to turn each end down to about 2x the diameter of one of the resistors you'll use. Maybe just a bit smaller overall than a pencil...

    $200-ish banked for amp, help me spend it...

    You know how it goes, you budget $xxx.xx, and you end up spending $zzz.zz+++, but I've got a couple hundred sitting in PayPal earmarked for an amp, if a decent upgrade to my GoVibe 6 can be had for that price. Looking for recommendations. I've got my eyes on a Practical Devices XM5, as it...

    Logical "Next Step Up" from GoVibe 6?

    I like my GV6 v2, but in the neverending quest to fix something that really isn't broken, I'm considering upgrading my amp. I am addicted to IEM's and earbuds, which many will say do not need amplification, however I find that many (my de-podded Altec IM716's for example) shine when amped. My...

    Are portable amps really worth it?

    Ditto what Billybob said, re the IM716's. I much prefer a minimalist setup of IEM's and my Zune, but there is no denying the major improvement an amp gives the Altec's, and IMO, my KSC75's as well. I have a GoVibe 6 and a Zero Audiocraft. I'd been using my GoVibe exclusively for a few months...

    IM716 for $49 on Dec 3rd, buy.com

    I got my pair yesterday, and spent a lot of time with them last night, swapping between different pairs of headphones. I love the sound, but these things are significantly less efficient than almost every other IEM or headphone I own. I was using a GoVibe 6 with my Zune, and they were taking...

    Anyone have experience with Harmon Kardon?

    HK's are built like tanks, and offer excellent performance for the money. I've owned 2, currently using an HK AVR 630 for my HT setup. It does everything I ask it to, clean power, gobs of power, and quiet at that. Good luck in your search and decision.

    Triple Fi 10 Pro + Tip Choice

    I got a pair of the Radio Shack Super.fi's about a month ago, and really struggled to find a tip I was happy with. They were flat out uncomfortable with almost any tip I used. I ended up flipping the wires, which actually helped a lot with fit. Look for the super.fi mod here. I ended up using...

    The new Zune software (Version 2.X) thread

    My update of the software and firmware went pretty much without a hitch, but I do miss some of the functionality lost from the old PC software. Such as the old way to add album art. It's better than the new way, at least a couple of steps fewer. The podcast functionality is cool, but they need...

    Essential Beatles albums?

    Another vote for "all" here, as The Beatles truly gave us a body of work, not just great individual albums. My personal fave is the White Album, but if I were tasked to "turn someone onto" The Beatles I'd probably go with Sgt. Pepper, or perhaps Magical Mystery Tour. I need to spend some...
