    I think I may have killed my IEMs when I attempted to clean them

    Hello all,   Yesterday I ran into a problem. It may be big, it may be small, I don't really know. However, it is a problem. The thing is, that my Denon AH-C710s were beginning to have wax buildup on the tips, so I decided to take some cotton swabs and clean those tips. The foolish part is...

    AHH!! Freak accident with foam stuck in ear!!

    I was burning in my c710 and decided to take a listen to see of there are any changes, put the foam tips on but I guess I didn't pay much attention to how good they were fitted, and as I pulled the phones out, the right tip stayed in the ear! I was a little freaked, then took a cotton swab...

    Does c710 treble sucks?

    Well, I finally took the plunge, ordered a pair of c710's from eBay. The package came about a week later, a really really nice package, although with a typo after the first word of description, but from what I've seen here, it's the real deal. Inside laid two IEMs, some tips and a nice, leathery...

    Where to get C710?

    Hello, I live in Israel, where the Denon C710 are not available, and if they ever will, the price will probably be outrageous. Can you please recommend me of a place that ships internationally (or not, if it is in NYC or Vegas) which has them in stock and in price not excess of 120$ USD. I...

    The perpetual mystery - Dedicated DAC or soundcard?

    Hello, I am sorry to bug with this question, but I have yet to find a direct comparison between the Xonar STX (nor the ST) and dedicated DACs, even if these do not have similar price points. Some have said that the STX can beat a DAC1 and other high budget DACs, but I can't tell if this was...

    Upgrade from Xonar D2 - Essence or external DAC?

    Hello all, Recently, after I bought some nice speakers and an integrated amplifier I thought about upgrading my source, which is a Xonar D2 sound card. The new Xonar Essence STX seemed like the perfect upgrade, with RCA outputs, a great DAC chip and replaceable op-amps. However, after reading...

    First amp (or even two amps) question

    Hello all, I've just recently bought a Grado SR225 and I'm planning to get a DT880/250 For gaming and more laid back, wider soundstage listening. The first thing I noticed is that the Grado's bass sounded much fuller with an amp (When I auditioned them they were connected to a Grace Design...

    Headphones for gaming and music

    Hello all, I am looking for a new set of headphones in the 100$ range, I've heard the HD595 and the soundstage was very nice, but the sound was somewhat dark. After searching the forums I've found that the AD700 could serve as a great alternative, problem is, that they are not being sold...
