I generally listen to mp3/lossless. Most of my MP3s are encoded at 192k and higher. Some ogg 160k+. I have a good deal of FLAC as well. Music type is hip-hop, classical, minimal and ambient. Worth upgrading from MS-1s (which sound lovely) to the gold RS325i's? This will be simply computer...

Can someone recommend a good turntable and compatible cartridge (unless it comes with a good one). I'll be using these with Grado SR325i's and may get an amp later, but won't have on initially. But I'll need the turntable to have a 1/4" headphone output. The main goal here is for me to use...

So, I'm looking to buy a 2.1 system for my small studio. This will be used for the TV and for playing music (via my PC). I'm on a budget so this has to come in at ~$600.00. Here is what I'm looking at thus far: JBL CONTROL1XTREME Personal Monitor Speaker System (Pair) - $74.99 JR.com: JBL...

Which one is going to sound better? Which is supposedly more comfortable. I have UM2's right now and love them, but I have Klipsch ProMedia speakers at home that I've been using for 5+ years. Love the Klipsch sound. Anyone try out both of these? Impressions?

OK so here's the deal. I built a mint about a year ago. I don't know what any of the parts do. Not sure what any of the stuff I soldered did. Long story short I loved building the mint. It works and the soldering was clean (not to shabby for my first time!). I'd like to build something else...

Is there any guide thats as easy to follow but for a better amp than the cmoy? I built my cmoy successfully and want to move on to something else but don't know how to do anything except follow directions and solder. If there was a list of things I need to buy that would help too. Thanks!

I had the SR60. Loved the sound, but unfortunately ended up selling to try a Senns 555. I have just sold the 555 and am looking to go back to Grado. And judging from some of my reading I think the MS1 will be the best choice for me unamped. My question is how different is the MS1 when compared...

I just sold my Grado SR60 and am looking for a solid replacement under $150. What would be the best namg for the buck? I listen mostly to: Rap, Ambient, Classical, Electronic I liked the warm sound of the SR60 and they were very comfortable. They sound a bit upfront and I wish there was...

Can someone on here please let me know how these 2 cans compare? Please be as detailed as possible. I owned the SR60's and am now getting the HD555 because many on here said the HD555 beats the SR60 in SQ and Comfort. But since then I read a little more about the Alessandro MS1 and was...

Anyone hear much about this? It looks awesome. http://www.cowonglobal.com/product/p...D2_feature.php Looks like it will come in 2gb and 4gb sizes with SD expandability. The on screen video search bar makes this sooo appealing to me. Video...

Do both of these fit the Westone UM2? Which one would you say is more comfortable? I'm especially interested in the biflange mod? Can someone link me to the instruction thread? I have heard about it, but have not actually read on how to do it. Thanks!

Can someone advise me which one to get? I am looking to buy the 4gb version of either one. What's important to me is being able to drag and drop music*, good sound quality, durability, battery life, and price. I'd also like it if there was no pause between tracks, but thats negligible. the...

I have the SR60 which I am selling... assuming they don't sell I'll keep them and probably order another set of pads for them. The stock ones are excellent and are comfy too. I saw they sell them online for $10 and even $30 for the cut out ones! Don't want to do heavy modifying. Just...

Can someone tell me how they compare? Thanks.

Trying to decide whether I should get a Shure E4 or a full sized set of cans. The reason I wanted IEM's was because they provide sound isolation. Can you guys recommend a set of headphones for me? Looking for: 1. Comfort - Non bulky design (remember this will be for all around use) 2...

Oh what to get, what to get? Guy please recommend a IEM for me. I've been gone for a long time and I have the bug again. I'd also like if you can recommend a good amp that's not too expensive (<$75) and cable. My portable rig doesn't exist yet. I have no mp3 player. My source: Home...

I detailed the problem on this forum so rather than type it out again you can read here: http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=425280 To summarize... I can't seem to output a digital signal from the rear of my Audigy2 ZS digital port to my Pioneer receiver. I verified that my...

I received my U3 in the mail from ZipZoomFly.com about 5 days ago ($200 + free 2nd day air, can't beat that) and I thought I would write a short opinion of what I think so far. My firmware version is 1.1. I have yet to upgrade to the most current one which is 1.13. The SQ and audio...

I know these are vastly different players... but are they really? Both play lots of different audio files, both play video, both are very well reviewed. Which do you think sounds better (if you've heard both). Is the U3 worth it considering you can get the Vision for ~$120 more and get...

This might not belong in this section because it doesn't only deal with headphones, but I lurk around here the most so I leaned toward the headphone forum. Anyway I have a $450 budget and I want to get myself a nice portable system. MP3 Player - preferably iAudio X5? Maybe a Creative...

I'm pondering getting the E4. Already own the E3. How much of a step up is it? Worth the money? I can get the E4's for roughly $210. Would anyone like to take the E3's off my hands? Also I notice that on Shure's website they have a gaming version of the E4's, ie the E4g. The color is the...

New thread because these are once again available on Audio Cubes http://www.audiocubes.com/category/H...Earphones.html Anyone think these are worth it or even something to think about? The EX71's were the most comfortable earphones I ever had and some tout these to have sound quality as...

Is it still available anywhere? Is it worth it?

OK I know I might get hated on for this thread. I couldn't even really find a place to post it, but perhaps you guys can give me some help. I am finishing college and just started renting my own studio in downtown Manhattan. It's small, but the rent is pretty cheap! I'm in the market for 2...

So yea this is sort of a really stupid thing I did. I left my Shure E3 headphones inside of my jacket and asked my mom to wash the jacket. Now the Shure's are amazing. I use them everyday and they were a $150 dollar gift. So you know when I realized what happened today I was dissapointed. My...
