    Those are Vandersteen 3A signatures, way too much for this small room. I know, first world problem.

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Having recently picked up a pair of HE 500's, I cannot believe what an incredible audio bargain they are. These easily swing much higher than their price range. Craigslist, I love you.

    Anyone ever buy replica beats headphone from china?

    I have legitimate Beats Pro's, that I received for free. They are a letdown, I can only imagine what a knockoff sounds like. Look for a great resale pair of legitimate contenders on the forums.

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    I know it's a bit early in the game, but I'd be interested in anyones experience with a given tube set in the new Mjolnir 2. Owning a Lyr2, I'm interested to see how my tube library will adapt to the Mojo 2.

    Rational reasons to love vinyl

    Beyond the vinyl reproduction argument, there is a great positive benefit to the tactile experience. Being able to handle, touch, and experience LP's while listening is non inconsequential.

    How to wash your HD 650 Velour Pads

    I'm having a lot of direct ear pressure from pads. I originally was using the Sennheiser yellow HD414's with great success. Switched to the Jumbo G-cush pads and the pad pressure limits my listening to about 30 mins. Can anyone recommend the best way to soften these G-cush pads up a bit?

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    I have seen photos that look completely carbon neutral, and some with color mixed in the cups. I just chalked the color I've seen to light reflections.   Are the cups a pure neutral carbon color?

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Hey guys, I have been making a few HP cables lately with great success. When building a mini 4 pin XLR why is it important to ground pins 2 and 3, if they are not used at the headphone end? Those little ground loops are a bitch to solder with older eyes.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    This is great news Dan, you have found a great opportunity in the closed can arena. The pickings have always been very slim, and the options have always been a compromise. You'll get my money.

    Picked up a multibit Gungnir and a Mjolnir 2 immediately after the announcement. It appeared the Schiit site was under some pretty heavy transaction load. Congrats to everyone at Schiit  That was one large undertaking for a mom and pop shop from Santa Clarita. I am really looking forward to...

    Hi Guys,   One of my first posts here.   On the road to summit hi-fi, I have to keep reminding myself that it is all about the journey. I recently posted this picture to Reddit and was reminded of how it has reflected my headphone journey in a short period of time. I have to remember to stop...
