IEMs with Largest, Most Open Soundstage
So I'm looking into IEMs and the options these days are quite frankly overwhelming... If I were to prioritize a large and expansive soundstage at the top of my sound wish list, which IEMs would people recommend? Let's say $1,500 and under. Although I'm willing to exceed that if there is an...- insomniac

How Do I Find A Customs Broker?
I ordered something from a seller in Singapore and the shipping company just called asking me what customs broker I wanted to use. Until now, I didn't even know what a customs broker was.

Balanced Zu Mobius v2 Arrived
Took delivery of the new Zu Mobius v2 today. I got the balanced version. I won't say much about the sound until after it's run in a bit, but right off the bat it seems to have a smoother sound than v1. But the most immediate difference is cosmetic. They've gone from being one of the stiffer...- insomniac

Seeking Starter Vinyl Rig Advice
To all the vinyl gurus out there... After resisting a long time, I'm now seriously considering giving vinyl a go. I pretty much know absolutely nothing about it other than there are records involved.

Best Way to Preserve Lettering on HP-1000
I'm fortunate enough to own a pair of Grado HP-2's with all of the lettering intact. But it seems many pairs lose parts or all of that red lettering over time. Is there any general advice on how to make sure all of that lettering stays in place over the long haul?- insomniac

Digital Camera Advice (to DSLR or not to?)
I'm sure this question has been asked on this board, but since I like advice personalized for me (read: lazy right now), I thought I'd solicit the input of the digicam experts here.

Portable DVD-A Source
I'm not sure if anyone already posted about this (did a cursory seach with no results) but it seems Panasonic's current line of portable DVD players support DVD-A / DVD-Audio playback.

Well it was inevitable I suppose. I bit the bullet and picked up the Meitner combo of the CDSD and DCC2.

Headphone Power Amp?

Wow... Audio Valve RKV mk II
So I picked up an Audio Valve RKV mk II here after reading about how fantastic it sounds with the K1000. In that regard, I was not disappointed.
