    Yamaha EPH-100

    I wanted a good new universal pair so picked these up in Singapore after reading everything - I tried on quite a few IEMs at Jaben (IE8s, FS Atrios, Final Audio Heaven, Denon C710) and out of all of those, liked the C710s, but not at their price.  Went across the street and picked up the...

    Head-fi-style shopping in Singapore?

    Thanks for all the tips!  I'm pretty impressed w/Stereo (being a chain in malls that has a pretty good selection!  AKG3003, Beyerdynamic T1, Unique Melody Merlins - Universal-style) but unfortunately CNY is a BFD here for Jaben and they've been closed the whole time I've been here.  They reopen...

    Yamaha EPH-100

    With all the new reviews, i'm in - if I don't find anything interesting in Singapore, I'll order these on the way back to make sure they arrive when I'm gone =)  Now only 139 on Amazon!   I listen to 97% Trance/Progressive/Uplifiting/Female Vocals - and the other 3% is a mix of female...

    Head-fi-style shopping in Singapore?

    Thanks!  I have heard of the Funan IT mall and will be heading there for sure... I'll look up Jaben and Stereo Electronics now (I'll actually be staying in Orchard Rd. for a few days)   I am going to see what kind of decent universal IEMs and sources they might have out there (esp. if I...

    Head-fi-style shopping in Singapore?

    I'm heading out to Singapore soon over the Chinese New Year - I've seen some info about places to shop, but was wondering if any other head-fi'ers have experience with specific places to shop for Head-fi gear in Singapore (hopefully taking advantage of a decent exchange rate)?   any input is...

    Quote: Nissan GT-R is wicked fast 0-60 as well since the AWD helps a ton - but the 0-60 stat itself does get overrated IMO - more about the total package (high speed acceleration, stability, handling, etc.)   yes - it's time to be more practical (we each have a house of our own so...

    I do like the Turbo/Turbo S a lot and I'm sure I'll consider those as well but I do like the RWD 911s as well so we'll see - the missus wants to look at a house first (i know, right??)   @anaxilus - sorry I meant Eibach - barely stiffer than stock and the stance was nice

    Currently driving a 2011 STi in Satin White Pearl - so far just Cobb intake and CPU tune   Very much looking forward to the new 911 or a previous gen GT3 and keeping an eye on the Toyobaru    Previous vehicles: 2009 Nissan 370z White/Black - stock 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S...

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    I want to "graduate" to timepieces as opposed to "fashion" watches but these are what I currently have - arguably the Tissot is a timepiece w/COSC certs:   GSX 501 - Japan only (as far as I know) - I picked up two of these at Best Watch - a multi-story watch store in Shinjuku while I was...

    Android-fi!

    Current phone is an HTC Rezound w/unlocked bootloader and CleanRom1.2 (no more Verizon bloat!) - and no - I'm not using the iBeats that came with it! HTC announced unlocked bootloaders for a slew of new phones right after Xmas and TBH, I was more excited about this than Xmas!  I really hated...

    Yamaha EPH-100

    Appreciate all the comments from owners and recent buyers - I've had these on my Amazon wishlist for awhile and might just pull the trigger for a good "everyday" pair of universals!  I'm still trying to decide on customs (since I love dynamics) so having another good pair of universals would be...

    Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 vs Klipsch Image X10

    I don't know what you listen to, but I took advantage of the Amazon deal and sampled both for awhile though I'm a dynamic driver fan.  I wanted to see how some different styles of decent BAs would sound.  ...

    Amazon special - X10 vs. TF10 vs. old-school B&O A8 - for Trance/female vocals

    Agreed!  I'm really careful with my stuff but even then, I'm actually surprised these have lasted so long without issue   Quote:

    Amazon special - X10 vs. TF10 vs. old-school B&O A8 - for Trance/female vocals

    I would have if I liked the fit - I tried some of the different silicone tips in the box but once I felt the discomfort of the large (to me) plastic head, I just found a tip and listened as long as I comfortably could   Quote:

    Has anyone tried the toshiba thrive tablet?

    It's a good sturdy tablet overall.  The rubber backing is great and that's why the gf took it from me!  I feel safer w/her using that anyway as electronics have a way of slipping out of her hands!   2011 was the year of Tegra2 tablets so there's not that much to differentiate it spec-wise...

    Amazon special - X10 vs. TF10 vs. old-school B&O A8 - for Trance/female vocals

    Long-time lurker and definitely want to give thanks and props to this community as a whole for being a friendly place to learn about high-end audio   As many did, I jumped on the Amazon $94 special for the Klipsch X10s and UE TF10s.  I've always liked dynamic drivers, but wanted to see how...

    Am I the Only Person Out There That Prefers Dynamic IEMs Over Armature IEMs?

    I'm definitely a fan of Dynamics over BAs but still want to try more that have dedicated BA drivers for the low end since that's what I seem to miss the most.  I mostly listen to progressive trance with/without female vocals and with the BAs I've tried I seem to miss the energy (most noticeably...
