Used pair of Shure SE846. Never thought I would sell these but they have been sitting in the drawer for quite some time. Included is stock cable (some yellowing around connectors) and a balanced MMCX cable. I also have a double helix cable that is RSA terminated that I could throw in free...- ChavaC

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Is there a consensus which is better between the XM3 vs Buds+? I just picked up the former but wondering if I should give the Buds+ a go too. Does having an android phone matter much between these two?- ChavaC

The Qudelix-5K thread
Wow, disappointing. This thing went from super exciting to forgettable BTR5 clone in like 5 minutes flat. Guess I'll keep dreaming on the ES100 mk ii.- ChavaC

The Qudelix-5K thread
I wonder how significant an upgrade this flexible bluetooth antenna will be compared to the ES100's. My only complaint with the radsone is the range on the bluetooth isn't amazing. Otherwise this looks pretty exciting.- ChavaC

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
Just got a used pair of LCD-3f's yesterday, my first full-size in a while and first Audeze since a LCD-2r1 I sold about 5 years ago. Definitely not as dark or intimate as that pair. Putting them on the first thing I noticed was how much the pads have changed (these being the brown leather), with...- ChavaC

Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp
If you really wanted a boost from a dac while keeping it relatively lowprofile I'd check out one of the new dragonflys.- ChavaC

Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp
I'm kind of curious about the comparison of the v5's amp section to the CDM's as well. I've seen the prior posts and all seem to indicate the v5 pretty much operates on a refined version of the CDM's amp that's smaller, more powerful, more efficient, cooler, and it seems sonically superior based...- ChavaC

NOOB Home Audio Question: How do you connect your audio receiver to your output devices (Phones, Laptops, etc)
There are a few wireless/bluetooth receivers, but they all seem a little pricey to me for what they do. What I do for my stereo at home, and I think it's really ideal, is just have a small HTPC or old laptop feed the receiver directly and use remote access software to login to the computer... -
Are most stock cables copper?
Dunno about all shure cables but I believe the se846 is silver plated copper.- ChavaC

How and why do members fall in love with second tier headphones?
I would venture to guess they either can't afford more expensive offerings or only have experiences with higher tier phones that are inconsistent with their preferred sound sig.- ChavaC

Jay Z To Buy Tidal For $56M?
My thoughts exactly. I loved MOG even at 320kbps before Beats destroyed it, and I have a suspicion TIDAL will be down the same path now. I can already see the weekly editorial playlists shifting to rap/hip hop that's probably poorly recorded in the first placed. My hope is that someday Spotify... -

September 12th... wow. Their website says 8-12 weeks... I guess I should expect to wait about twice that.- ChavaC

The Official Echobox Explorer Thread
Personally not a fan of the flask idea, it's going to appeal to a minority but turn away a lot of people. I was looking for almost exactly this device (though needed SD card support and USB input) several months ago, but even had it been available I would have balked on the idea that I can't use...- ChavaC
