The Stax Thread III
I recently received my 353xBK and L300 LTD. However, I just learned about the importance of letting the energizer charge and keep charging the diaphragm. To that note, I'm wondering if the 353x has always-on bias since I'd rather not have the amp on 24/7- AV3Nguyen

CIEM Recommendations
Based on their descriptions and their handy little "frequency response" chart, I've decided the RSM Quad is Alclair's best offering for my budget and tastes, but I was more concerned with whether there were any models from other companies that would fit better. I appreciate the offer for the FQ...- AV3Nguyen

CIEM Recommendations
Hey, so I've decided to get myself a pair of IEMs for my birthday. I've posted here before and was told to get the CA Andromedas, but I can't bring myself to spend that much plus I really want to get customs, so instead I've been looking at the Alclair RSM (originally the Reference, but I added...- AV3Nguyen

IEM (Custom or Universal) Recommendations
The Andromedas do look rather nice, but it'd be a major pain in the ass to have to carry around a second device (I chose the V30 purely for its Sabre DAC so I wouldn't have to). Do they sound that bad with the V30? If so, are there any other options, even if they don't fit my preferences as...- AV3Nguyen

IEM (Custom or Universal) Recommendations
Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my portable setup (currently the IM02 plugged into an LG V30) My budget is around $750, flexible (I swear this keeps going up the more I look around, so it's really flexible), not including impressions if CIEMs are recommended. For sound signature, I'm looking for...- AV3Nguyen

HE-400i Build Quality
After having been recommended the HE-400i here, I decided to jump on a used pair for 300 USD. However, they don't have warranty (apart from a 7 day return/refund period). I'm afraid that they might break and then I'd have no warranty. I could wait for a new pair to go down to a similar price...- AV3Nguyen

HE-400i vs. HD 650 or Other Headphone Pair
I think I'm going to go for the HE-400i's. Is my Magni 2 capable of powering them? If not, then can they power the HD 650's?- AV3Nguyen

HE-400i vs. HD 650 or Other Headphone Pair
Hello, I've been looking into getting a Mid-Fi/Hi-Fi pair of headphones. Currently, I have narrowed down to two pairs: the HE-400i and HD 650. So far, based on other people's comparisons: The HD 650's have better mids than the HE-400i's, however the HE-400i's have better bass response. A post...- AV3Nguyen
