I really love my ATH-AD900X cans but I HATE the cable! The time has come after 5 years to rip it out. I'm trying to source a 3.5 panel jack so I can convert these to removable instead of fixed cabling. I'm having a hard time finding parts that don;t seem like junk. I'd love to be pointed in...

OK, though I know it's ridiculous, I've yet to find anything that replaces my old UE Super.fi 3 IEMs. I've tried a lot but just can't get any satisfaction. I don;t follow the forums much anymore so I am hoping for some leads. I need something with the following criteria: - $100 range - IEMs...

My has a pair of Yamaha HP-1 cans he wants to try to recable. It will be his first such project. He's looked around a bit trying to find a source for cables but has come up empty. They are a split cable which makes it a shade more complicated. Any help wold be appreciated.

I few years back I sold my Alessandro MS1s. I loved them but thought I wanted to try something new. I grabbed a set of Audio Technica ATH-AD900X direct from Japan. I loved them and still do but they don't get much use as they are on the large size for me. I'm thinking of going back to Grado...

OK, I've tried to read through some threads but I've not found my answer (though I have come close to finding what I suspect). I'm now on yet another set of IEMs to pair with my Pixel (not the XL). The last were the FiiO EX1s, which had very nice sound but were way to open. Now I;ve moved on...

OK, so I have a set of EX1, really nice balanced sound. I like them, but they are open and not isolating. I need some IEMs for driving in a loud car. Can't stand bass heavy nor can I tolerate sibilant, any recommendations for well balanced IEMs would be appreciated. I still miss my old UE...

My son thinks he needs a dedicated player.  Frankly I think his Nexus 6p is good enough but it's his money so....   He's looking at the FiiO X1 and I'm wondering if there is anything to compete at that price point?   Cheers.

I need to pick a pair of IEMs for my brother.  Would like to stay under $50 and can't figure out what to get.  Needs:   - closed - comfort - down cord, no ear wrap or any other gizmo - just cans, no mic no controls   Any suggestions?  I had the Marshall Modes pick out but just can't bring...

OK, so I don't use my 5X with headphones much but when I have I've noticed I get very little volume.   I'm just wondering if I've got a bad phone, headphones or are these just hard to drive and the 5X sucks?

I'm in the market for some new CDs after deciding vinyl isn't for me (I'm 47 and listened to lots a vinyl as a kid but don't want to start a new hobby now!  Plus I already have hundreds of CDs).     I've looked now for a couple weeks with no luck to find some kind of database or review site...

Well I bought my first IEMs in a few years since my Super-Fis broke.   I decided to try these and am wondering a few things off the bat:   - are they a tad sibilant?  The highs are a bit harsh. - do they benefit from some burn? - the mid range seems to be pretty shallow - are they hard to...

So I need some BT cans for work.  I bought the Photive BTH3 cans on a whim.  They sound plenty good enough for work.  2 Problems, they conked out after 1 day (won't take a charge!) and they don't fit that well.  Now I realize I probably just got a dud but the fit issue is bigger.  I don't have...

Well I couldn't resist the Amazon deal on the Beyers so ordered some.   I've now tried them against my ATs and am wondering if they need either some burn in or a better AMP.  I'm running them both through my Topping TP30 DAC/AMP and frankly the ATs have WAY more sound stage and are way more...

My family constantly harangues me about not knowing what to get me for gifts.    I like my current cans quite a bit (AD900X), but do feel they just a bit thin.  I'm no basshead by any means, but I would like a fuller sound.   I only listen at my computer and am running everything through a...

I have been using Super-fi 3s for about 6 years now and love them.  The signature is just right for me and I love the fit.  I bought 2-3 pair years ago when they were cheap (I never paid more than $35!).  Unfortunately my last pair is on it's last leg.  The connector has cracked.   The bright...

I bought a Topping TP 30 Mark II.  Sounds good and it;s playing well with my new computer.   That said, I also have a pair of Audyssey Lower East Side speakers that I use occasionally when not using my cans.  Unfortunately I'mm notable to use both.  Here's whats going on:   I have the...

Anyone recommend a moderately priced USB DAC/Amp from Amazon?   My trusty FiiO E10 isn't happy with my new PC (works fine with my old PC though!).   Thought I'd try something new.  Need it asap, can't stand using on screen volume control!

OK, so I have no problem with most of my collection, i.e. all other music genres.   Unfortunately I've put off ripping a 100+ of my Classical discs because I find the taging daunting.  The few I've ripped are just a mess.  Sometimes I get Beethoven catalogued as composer, sometimes as artist...

I know there is a huge thread for the Andes but it's just too long.   I'm having a terrible time finding a proper OTG cable to connect these two devices.  I notice that FiiO actually makes one but I can't find it for sale anywhere (FiiO L15).  Anyone who has actually had luck with this I'd...

OK, so a while a back I bought a Lepai amp to pair with Dayton bookshelf speakers (the combo everyone is so fond of for the money).   I'm using this at work with my phone via headphone out.   At first it was a sweet set-up.  Unfortunately some months ago a switched from a Razr to a...

I rarely listen to my ATH-AD900X away from my computer where I use a Fiio E10.   That said, i do sometimes want to listen in the living room and need something to drive these as my Galaxy Note 2 can't quite do the trick.   Any suggestions?

OK, I have some MS-1s that have been my main cans for some years now.  I still think they sound fantastic.   I am wondering though if I might consider something new just for a change.  How much more do I need to spend to beat these significantly.  I'm not too interested unless I;mm going to...

Unfortunately it looks like the days of my loved UE SuperFi 3 are done.  I've still got a good pair but my dad's are shot.   Can anyone recommend a worthy successor in the under $50 range?  I know these were around $100 new but I paid only $35.00 so I;d like to stay away from $100 if I can...

I'm trying to determine if the E10 I have is excessively sibilant or if it's my MS1 cans?   This is the first DAC/amp I've had since selling my EMU-0404 a couple years ago so I'm a little out of it I guess.    I've had to use the bass boost switch (which goes against my grain for some...
