Background Information   In what seems to be fairly typical fashion for me, I have fallen out of the game for a while.  Seems like every two years or so I pick up a new pair of IEMs and come back here to do research.  My budget is $500.  I have no local audio shop at which to listen to any...

Has anyone else clicked on the DITA ad that's been showing up recently?  Looks like a new single driver dynamic that was scheduled to be released today at the Fujiya Avic Headphone Festival.     They've got two models listed so far - A standard model and one with an upgraded cable.     ...

I feel out of the portable audio world for a bit, but my recent purchase of a Clip+ and MP9927 have sucked me back in.  The 9927s are a placeholder for a "real" set of IEMs that will be purchased in mid-November (MA750, BA-200, GR07, something in that price range).     I own an iBasso T3, and...

I might be showing my age by saying that my last audio experience was with iPod 5.5, iBasso T3 and MTPC's...regardless, my MTPC's and iPod have kicked the bucket, so it's time for a new pair of IEMs and a new DAP.  Here is some of my gear history:   ·       Always been an iPod user, last...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuoTjYYqe4c   that guy was brought up as an orphan in the cult "The Children of God".  The entire album (I've got it in alac if anyone wants it) is pretty bizarre.  Very beatles-esque.  

I might recable my ER4S.  I've got a capable IEM amp (T3) and was wondering if I should up the impedance at all on the new cable.  Thoughts?   pow

Hey guys.  I'm looking to find some well recorded power/melodic death/basically whatever metal.  If anyone's on the same quest as me, I find Wintersun's self-titled album to be very well done.  

Hey guys.  I've got an Omega Striker 7.1 that is putting out system sounds but no other audio (no youtube, itunes, fubar, nothing.)  I have no idea how this could be happening, but its really pissing me off.  The card has a jack to run headphone/mic to the top of the case, so that's the way it...

Suppose price is no object.  What would you own, and why?     As my post below states, lets try to keep it to universal IEM's, no custom molds.  

I've been able to find the Ortofon's for a little bit under $290 shipped. Do you guys think this is the lowest price I'll come across?  

I just found a Kenwood Super Eleven receiver in my basement that my parents don't want. Is there some way to rig this up using my computer? If not, is there any market for vintage receivers like this?

I'm using iTunes (I know I know) and all of my music is stored on my external hard drive. It takes iTunes a few seconds to access my music every time I click on something. Is there any way to make this process faster? It reminds me of how you can save information to iPod RAM when using...

I'm a freshman at Tech, and haven't seen much in the way of audiophile quality headphones or players. I feel like Abraham trying to save Sodom and Gomorrah here...please say some audiophiles go to Tech!

I've narrowed my first headphone purchase down to the ATH-ESW9, Ultrasone Pro750, or the Denon 2000's. I've read a bunch about the Pro750's and they sound really awesome, even if they do require a relatively long burn-in. I haven't seen many details about the ESW9 except for the fact that...

I've had er6i (lost them) and recently purchased q-jays. I really dig the q-jays for walking around, but I'd prefer something more comfortable and more dynamic for listening in my dorm room. I'm willing to spend around $300usd and would really prefer closed phones, as I don't want to disturb my...

I accidentally stuck this in the non-portable forum at first but I went back and deleted it already. Right now I'm running Apple Lossless out through an iPod, a Fiio E3, and q-jays. I want to buy something new for Christmas (maybe 300 bucks max) but don't know what I should upgrade. I would...

delete wrong forum =(

Holy balls! These things kick some serious butt. I'm coming from some little creative piece of crap in ears, and I'm hearing things I've never heard before in my music. Lossless AFI = <3. I don't know if it could get any better than this. If you're on the edge about buying some q-jays, seriously...

I'm looking to pick up a sub 100 dollar amp for my incoming q-jays, but read recently that I really need to learn about opamps and what synergy they'll provide. Which sub 100 dollar amps would work well with the q-jays?

I originally wanted to purchase the UE triple.fi's, but when my mom heard they were $300+ headphones she almost had a heart attack. So, now my budget is ~200. I've narrowed it down between the q-jays and the SA6. Everyone raves about the SA6 sq but I'd be definitely worried about build quality...

I'm interested in the triple.fi sound, with great highs and defined mids and bass, without being too forward with the presentation. I'm just worried that the triple.fi wouldn't fit me well. The only in-ears I've ever used were ety er6i's and the Creative ones that came with my XPS, and they're...
