    Looking For Top Tier IEM replacement that sounds like Triple Fi 10

    Have you considered getting custom tips for your TF?  Even the Comply TX-500s couldn't give me a proper seal, so I found ListenHear (essentially Starkey Lab) to make custom tips for my TF 10s.

    Audio Technica ATH-AD2000?

    When I had the AD2000, I enjoyed the sound a lot more than my AD700. Scytheavatar's impression are pretty close to what I remembered of it.

    Wireless Adapter for SA6

    Update: I tried removing the included iPhone adapter cable and putting the W-1 directly onto the headphone out jack of my iPod. With some maneuvering I was able to get the W-1 onto my Headsix without using any extension cable. The high pitch noise gone. However, the white noise that I hear...

    Using Yahoo! Japan auctions to buy headphones???

    I believe Head-Fi member Lobstersan runs a service similar to that. Many ppl have used it and were satisfied (I have not personally). His website is www.kuboTEN.com Rinkya still works. I used their service earlier this year before I knew about lobstersan's service.

    Since BH is bit out of reach in terms of availability right now, what's the general thought about using the energizer (SRD-7 Pro/Mk2) or Stax amp (SRM-717/007t) to drive O2? I've read some threads regarding Stax amps generally gives more clarity/detail, and energizers probably has a wider...

    What's the best way to get older Stax phone serviced/repaired? I have a Lambda Nova Sig that's developed a bit of wire connection problem on the right side. Sometimes it loses all sound, and I'd have to "wiggle" it a bit to get it back.

    Nice rig under 500

    Stax impression threads are all over this forum, I don't really need to copy/paste what other ppl have said many times already. To sum it up, it's generally considered fast, airy, and very smooth.
