Hi Head-Fiers, I have a rock boxed Ipod classic 160gb that I connect to a project sunrise ii amp by way of an ALO LOD to RCA cable. Will I notice an improvement if I replace my source with a new DAP such as the Fiio X3? I don't generally listen on the go but want to maintain a relatively...

Hi Head-Fiers:   I have an approx 2 year old ALO LOD to RCA cable.  It has developed a short somewhere in the connector itself.  ALO wants $75 to replace the connector.   I believe I can fix this myself.  In order to do this I need a new Dock Connector that I can solder my cables to.  ...

Good Day Head-Fiers   Yesterday my EF-1 crapped the bed and it is time to move on to a new amp.  It's been a couple of years since I've been in the market for headphone gear and I am not certain where to start with looking for a new amp.   With the EF-1 I found it to provide a great...

Good Day Head-fi'ers: I am looking to purchase a full sized amp for a bedroom rig. I will be using mostly my iPod Classic (lossless) via a LOD as my input device. I have 3 very different pairs of headphones that I use on a regular basis. I have my Darth Beyers, Edition 9's and RS-1s. There is...

hi head-fiers: I can't find what I'm looking for with the search function. What are your impressions of the HR-2? What other amps in it's class would you consider and what would you consider a worthy price to pay for a used one? My primary sources will be my PC and iPhone both with...

If there is anything I know it's that head-fiers know how to spend money. I am looking to buy a non- portable amp with $800 and really don't know where to begin. Obviously I want a better amp than my iqube for non- portable. My source will stay the same. iPhone apple lossless files. I'll be...

I'm thinging about purchasing my first home/desktop amp. I have a portable iQube and I may want something for the office. My source material is apple lossless on my iphone. my cans are the grado RS-1 and also modded DT770-80 Darth Beyers. I have heard really good things about the Rudistor...

I absolutely love my iqube. It drives my grados perfectly i am adding some darth beyers too It seems to drive everyting I send to it wonderfully. Coming from an iPhone 3g and ALO LOD. A DAC is secondary (by far) to sound quality. Battery life matters, but really only if you can't charge it while...

just curious to find out how many owners of wooden headphones treat there woodies with wax (carnuba, etc.). If so: 1. What phones 2. What product 3. How often I'm interested to here what you fellow head-fi'ers have to say Thanks guys/gals

Good Day Head-Fiers: I recently purchased the Audio Technica ES7's for my fiance based on what she told me what her needs were. Go figure she doesn't like them. The place I bought them will allow me to return them for merchandise credit only. Now I like these phones for myself however I...

hi all: I have had an iqube for the last few weeks (purchased off of a nice fellow head-fier). I noticed about a week ago that there is feedback running through my phones when I adjust the volume. It's very noticable when nothing is playing and barely or not at all noticable when music IS...

I can't use my open grados for obvious reasons at work. What's recommended as a great full-sized set of cans that won't drive those around you crazy? I have the UE triple.fis but am looking for full cans to run off my iphone -> iqube portable amp at work. Any suggestions?

Hi All: Just got my first pair of grado's and I do like them alot and do not regret the purchase. It is common knowledge that the 325i's have alot in the high end. It seems to spike alot depending on the music. Does it "mellow" somewhat with burn-in time? If so about how many hours do they...

Just ordered an iQube from a member head-fier and was wondering if everything I hear about this little beast is true. Will I be impressed with the SQ of my portable setup which is an iphone 3g ->ALO LOD for iphone -> iQube -> grado SR325is and my Triple.Fi 10s? As you know, lots of cash to...

Hi Head-Fiers: I am in a conundrum. I am thinking about buying a full-sized headphone to compliment my Triple.Fi 10s. My current setup is an Iphone with an ALO LOD to a HeadSix amp. I like all types of music excluding country. I listen to alot of Live recordings of Rock (ie. DMB) but...

I've read on the Triple.Fi Appreciation thread that some folks are replacing the cabling with "better" cabling. What amount of benefit is there to spending $50 or more to replace the cabling on the Triple.Fi's if the stock cabling is not Frayed/broken? I am new to this hobbie and trying...

Hello Everyone: I have frequented the site in the past however I have never posted. I wanted to say hello and thank you in advance. I have recently purchased the UE triple.fi 10 pro IEMs and I LOVE them. The sound is absolutely amazing coming out of the iphone 3G. Now I'm totally...
