I look for best all rounder possible. It should be natural and good in everthing mids, soundstage, real vocal instruments, extension, bass, maybe little bit warmer over neutral bla bla...from overhead hp I like planars for example HE1000 drivers. From reading this falled to my eyes mainly...

Hello, ES60 seems from impressions as very good balanced CIEM, good tonaly, easy drive. But another reason why I am thinking about it is their combination of acrylic soft body, I think soft nozzle/tip have to be big advantage as regards comfy. I was a little dissapointed in past with acrylic...

Hello, I would be happy if there are more people which have experience with UERR, Spartan, Andromeda (maybe Vega too), ES60 (at least two of them) and could share their findings. It could helpfull a little for me. This is probably my final candidates which I choosed from long long time...

Hello I think it could be quite helpful for many people who look for some IEM, it is actually very hard to imagine even from review how it sounds tonally if it is colder or warmer sound signature.   The rule are easy: chart will be from 1 to 10 point (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)  1 is the most...

Hello, I think some fullsize headphone is better (one of my favorite is LCDX) and speakers as well. But sound of quality iem/ciem is so different that maybe quality is equal if not better in some aspects like localization, atmosphere, you hear every detail, vast majority of songs for example on...

Hello I would like to ask if there is some Audeze fans who has big experience with adult loudspeakers. I look for similar sounding speakers. This means great sweet organic mids, guitars, a sense of reality vocals instruments emotion and everything should fits nicely with rest of the spectrum...

Hey guys I want spend 2000euro for DAC, 3500euro for active speaker, iem for 600euro, iMac 21,5 1200euro. Thats over 7K euros for only audio! I am just amateur listener and I have saved this money almost one year. If my salary was for example 2500euro per month than ok but it is really not. So...

Hello, I had UM3X in past. I liked how UM3X sounded touch of realism and emotion probably tuned to my liking. It is the reason I want stay with Westone. What do you recomend me UM Pro 50 or W60? Or there is something better from different brand?     And I am thinking a little about customs too...

Hello, I gave a little pause from hifi so I sold everything year ago. I do not watching news longer time. So what is here favorite? It can be from second hand as well. I want something natural and quality unfortunately I know my budget is compromise, good dacs like Meitner MA1 etc. is in...

I have always wanted ES3X then ES5 and now ES50 but from my experience with JH13 I do not want customs again due to the possible sale in future.   They have new models W40, W50, UM Pro 50...   Thanks for help

I borrowed this. I dont have nothing to compare with for this time but I think it is pretty good with Audeze more impression later.   I talked a little with CustomWorks and their goal is simple "our products are deisgned to transmit real music without distortion". Their products is very...

I am impatiently waiting for this. Firslty I wanted their new preamp but I am waiting so long it is still in develop so I chose their dac in the end.   This version Lite is heart of the full Orion. Full Orion will have some extra features like casea hardware upsampler, XVi - virtual ground...

No doubt it is excelent sounding unit and probably one of the best integrated amp in $3-5K price category but is it here somebody who had chance try it as headphone amp with quality headphones LCD2, HE6, HD800, GS1000, customs etc.?    

Hey guys, one my friend need help. He would like to buy dac/amp for his future Unique Melody Merlin, he wish no hum from it and quality sound. He wants it smaller and with USB, he will play via notebook. If spdif, no problem he will buy m2tech hiface. And the budget is $500 - $1000. Thanks for...

Hello head-fi friends and mainly Grado fans,    I have sold my Alessandro MS Pro two years ago. Honestly I regret it, I miss that sound ooh a lot. Grado have so charm sound (at least to me) it grow in your heart, quitars, emotion, airy, crisp, quick, sound like wind. I can only wish that...

Hello,   I am starting miss in-ears. I had UM3X and then JH13. I used UM3X with shure black foams, it was only one tips I have found acceptable as regards sound and comfort. Sound was very seductive mainly mids, I was very happy with them. I sold UM3X and I wanted to try JH13 due to the...

Casea released new DAC. Heart of this converter is very favorite DAC Sirius 2 well known as upgrade modul for cheaper CD players. Construction is around 2 x AD1955 (dual mono connection), brand components, perfect design of DSD, gold plated solder points etc..   Also Casea is preparing...

I am interesting what is the most ideal headphones from your experience for voices/vocals no matter how much is it. I am looking for headphones which have voices so (present, alive) that you feel you want even touch on it. I will not write my horses for now which I found to be acceptable.

I am deciding between two combination Lynx ONE -> T1 -> SR-404 LE or MS-Pro Ulti (or GS1000i, PS1000 will consider) with my current source ESI Juli@ as transport for quality dac and solid state amp which will be modified on Grado character, so I expect mellower fuller richer tones and tipically...

I have good experience with recabled ESW9 so I would like to try AD2000 which could be exactly what I'm looking for. I always wanted them but sombody prefer AD900 over them so something tells me be careful. I dont heard AD900, they are very nice and for good money, AD900 are surely great cans in...

Hello, I have RE1 with clip+D2 Boa, sound is ok of course but I want more soundstage and deeper bass. So I am thinking about Audio Technica ESW9/ESW10 (I dont know if double price is worth for esw10) or iem for example IE8... but hard to say if I help with another iems, RE1 are rating very...

Hello, I have RE1 and I am quite happy with them, I use RE1 with iBasso D2 I dont think that portable amp is a necessary. But I can buy IE-8 for less than 300$ in my country! I think it is very good and fair price (triple fi costs more than 450$! here). I read many positive comments on IE-8...

Hello, I have two month MS-Pro and love them in every way . but I always interested about audio Technica's. What do you think guys? What I can expect from them? open AD1000/AD2000 or close A1000x/A2000x? Thanks for some opinions who has experience with them.
