    Hello everyone. Haven't posted for advice in a while. I recently acquired the T8iE Mk II earphones and they are amazing. I plugged them up to my old Dacport LX using my 2014 macbook pro and they sound even better. Right now, I have to control the volume digitally because they're so loud...

    speaker recommendations for multi-room music via chromecast audio

      sonos seem like the easiest to set up for multi-room music.  But i think i can get more bang for the buck with CCA and some book shelf speakers.  Play:1 is actually $200 each.  I think there might be better sounding speakers for cheaper... just not sure which ones.

    upgrading non-Freqphase JH16s

    this is just a PSA.   I bought my 16s in 2009 prior to the Freqphase technology.  When freqphase came out a few years ago, users had to buy a whole new set of earphones to get the technology.  I recently sent my IEMs to get them refit and found out you can upgrade your non-Freqphase 16s (and...

    UE Reference Monitors made me giggle and shoot a latte out my nose at Starbucks

    i read the review on the front page about these.  just curious, do you have the silicone layered or the regular acrylic ones?  do you know if they can add a layer of silicone on any of their customs to make a better fit?   thanks!

    carrying case for custom IEMs... any recommendations?

    I have owned the JH-16's for a few months now and so far, I've been carrying them in the provided pouch and putting them in my pocket.  Needless to say, they offer no protection at all.  Can anyone recommend a case that would offer decent protection and be portable enough to fit in some jeans...
