So for a while, I have been using my iphone 3G as a music player. I haven't had major issues with it until a couple of days ago.   I saw that apple released a new update 4.0. So I updated it and now my iphone is "bricked" if that is the correct term. And I have not done any kind of software...

Hey guys, I plan on making the biggest jump (and probably my last for a while) in my portable listening solution which will be a custom IEMs. I have been browsing for a couple of weeks now and I did not find much to go on. _____________________________________________ Here are a couple...

Hey guys, My dad has been using the iBud that came with my Nano since I myself have been using the Westone 3. He has been extremely happy with them but they break every so often so he is forced to spend on a new pair. He does not like IEMs since he is not comfortable with isolation and...

Hey guys, I have been searching around a little bit for a balanced amp for my HD650... And yes, I know about buying a balanced source also which would either be this: UPCOMING Little Dot DAC (too bad it isnt out yet...) or the dacmagic...And the interconnects and the HD650 XLR cable...

So, lately I have been using the computer and as usual, my eyes were a little sore the next day. I always keep the computer at least 4 feet away from my face and I generally keep a lamp behind me on which I think helps a little bit...but my eyes are still getting sore as I use the...

I am trying to decide whether or not to jump on the SA5000... If the AD700 were a little too bright for my tastes, would the SA5000 be too bright for me as well? I listen mainly to electronica. Thanks for the suggestions!

As I was looking around for a new sound card, I found this. Looks interesting, what do you guys think? Purchasing and details

Hey guys, I am on the hunt for a portable amp to go along with my Westone 3. I will also get some headphones like the Ultrasone 750 or the DT 770/80 version so versatility is really important. I keep hearing that the new RSA SR-71A can drive not only drive demanding headphone like the HD...

Hey guys, I have an issue with my Klipsch Image IEM. The rubber pieces are ripping apart and it will eventually just come off. So now, I have to send these off to Klipsch to get them repaired or replaced. Instead of this happening again, I would prefer something similar but more durable...

I have the option of either picking the 220-240 or 110-120 mains voltage for the Graham Slee Voyager. I live in the United States so which one should I choose?

I have searched quite a bit through the forums and I came to these choices: Ultrasone DJ1 Pro Ultrasone PRO 750 Ultrasone PRO 780 I wanted to get some last second advices before I jump the gun in buying one of these. Isolation is important for me, and they need to be semi-portable...

Okay, here is my situation. I am looking for some new portable headphones which will be for mainly electronica music. I got sick and tired of using my IEM when I do work on my laptop at home because of the microphonics and I feel that headphones are just more comfortable for me. These...

I am currently listening to the Denons 2000...I find them very comfy, nice bass, good soundstage, but they seem a little too slow for what I want. I am about to make my next purchase... My music consists of Electronica (Dance, Trance, House, etc) These are the ones I am undecided with...

Hey guys, I started a thread yesterday regarding the Klipsch Image X10 vs the M5 and I am still undecided whether to get them or not. I currently own the Image X10 and I have always been wondering if there are better IEMs for working out while listening to electronica. Any...

As the title says... Right now I am listening with the Klipsch Image X10... I am wondering to myself if trance would be suited better with the Atrio M5? I do a lot of working out and one thing that bugs me is the wire from the Image X10...Whenever I move around, the wires would hit my...

Hey all, I have some extra money to spend on...I became interested in the Denon cans. I have heard both the D2000/D5000 does a great job with movies, gaming, and electronica music (trance, hard dance, house) which pretty much applies me... My source is PC (X-Fi Fitality) > PPAv2 > DT...

Hey guys, I plan on to do a major reconstruction of my music library in the computer because most of my music were not uploaded with the highest quality. So I am asking, what is the best format for ripping cds in itunes...regardless of how much space each song would take... And my other...

I have been trying to decide whether or not to spend on the keces 131 so I can get the SPDIF signal. Is there an improvement because of this digital signal? And keep in mind that I will be using my computer for the DAC so I would have to buy a USB to SPDIF converter...Is this a good idea? Is...

I plan on making another purchase sometime soon which will be the V3 cans from headphile.com ...And I am trying to figure out which options to go with. I see option for 1/4, 4-pin XLR, or XLR. I see a 4-pin XLR option and just plain XLR? What is the difference? What do most common amps...

Hello All, I do apologize if this is in the wrong part of the forum. I thought it could be in the DIY forum but it seems that it is an instructional forum, instead of a seller/buyer environment. I have been on a very long search for an amp that will suit my needs. I have heard that there...

Hello all! I am about to make my purchase on a DAC, I am wondering which one do you guys think out performs the rest? I keep hearing that the ZERO DAC is the best way to go because it has a built in amp/preamp with it also but I will still get a home amp if I do decide to get the ZERO...
