    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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?

    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...
