    Is it ok to use a UPS to power a H/T setup?

    Good evening everyone,   I am currently in the search of a power conditioner to power my main home theater setup which has been running off a cheap power strip with over-voltage protection for the past 3 years. Originally, I was looking at the cheaper Furman Merit series, but after seeing...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    Just got my HD800 in today, and boy i can't get passed the in-your-face presentation of the highs! Definitely enjoy their open sound, but i sure hope their highs mellow down a bit after some hours of burn in, at least so they don't sound so..."shouty" Have them paired with a Bifrost U / Lyr 2...

    Has anyone experienced the new Solv X series with a pair of LCD-3's? Still on the fence deciding between Solv X, Silver dragon v3 and Silver widow.

    The Schiitstorm: Next-Gen Magni 2 and Modi 2 Family!

    Great news, i guess the price tag is friendly enough to purchase the modi 2 uber despite already owning the first version. I guess we could always push our old equipment to our offices :D

    A New Apex product!!! Name it HERE!!!

    I would go for Apex - Olympus series, that way depending on models, flagships etc. you can name each individual product after each of the ancient gods, giving them a signature light color as well. Olympus series - Zeus

    Less than $300 Over the Ear for my Teenage Son (who wants Beats!)

    You should also keep an eye out for the Yamaha Pro 500, you can find them as low as $200 on special (that's how much i got them on amazon). Especially since your son was originally interested in the Beats and will probably wear them outside the house (they literally look like the beats). They...

    New Audeze LCD3

    I would like to thank Audeze for shipping a new cable for my set the next day. I have no problems with the replacement cable and the headphones sound great.

    New Audeze LCD3

      Thank you for your replies guys. I see that the silver dragon is getting praised in the forums for brightening up the LCD-3's, which i think would bring a perfect balance to an otherwise perfect headphone (at least to my ears). Ed, when you say you are using a Norne cable, are you referring...

    New Audeze LCD3

    Unfortunately, I am also experiencing troubles with my stock cable on my brand new set. The 1/4" jack seems to not be making a good connection with my Lyr2, having to literally play around with its positioning in order to stop my right cup from cutting out. Emailed Audeze and waiting for a...
