@ Big Poppa, how did this cable work for you. Were you connecting this to a usb dac and which one was it? i guess this beats using the camera dock with the ipad. I also noticed that the camera connection dock was not able to work with all dacs due to power issues but was resolved at times with a...

ianmedium, thanks for the detailed info. I checked Comply;s website and did not see the FX 500 there and also no model for the HP FX 500. Can you provide the link to the ebay seller that you purchased from?   Thanks Joe

I tried the Koss tips and was very happy with them. I like them better than the Sony Hybrid. The Sony tip is very small at the end. Where the Koss is larger opening and set back more. It improved the upper end and tamed it down. A little loss on lower bass, however an overall improvement. I had...

I just received my Koss earcushions. I ordered the KE29S, however I think they might have sent the wrong ones. The pack does not state the model number on it. The only thing I see on the package by the sku is product no EXK. It looks like these are for the KEB Models from the info on the back...

The best thing to do is purchase the XCS. You can find one pretty cheap on the b stock sales or buy a used one. Then move the XLS to the front LR.This way you will have a balanced front end. This will be a big improvement. Then you can move your current LR to the bedroom to use with the BPA-1...

You should put most of the money toward used speakers. The NAD make a great bang for the buck equipment. You could also get by with a dvd player that also plays cd-r. I am using a Denon 1920 for a source and it is pretty good. It also plays sacd. I am sure you can find something inexpensive at a...

Maxpedition makes some great packs. I use the M5 for my Imod,Hornet, iems and supplies. The M2 is also great for thin equip with a holder for pens. These are military spec and will last a few lifetimes. Here is the link Waistpacks - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR® (Primary innovator and premier...

FLACvest thanks for the link to the Koss KE29S tips. Free shipping on these right now. I will post my thoughts on these compared to the Shure large Olives. Joe

Hello everyone, great info as always. Since there is such differences in what we hear, could you list the chain of equipment used in your portable rig? I think that this will help a lot in determining why we are hearing such differences in the last couple of pages of posts. I am using the...

x2 on AV123 speakers. You probably should look at their X Series or the ELT. They had a special where they would let you demo them for days and return with free shipping if you don't like them. Just order a set of each and decide which one you like. They also have great sales on their B stock...

I received my FX 500's today. I ordered on 7-10, shipped 7-13 and received today the 16th. I gave a quick listen and liked the overall presentation as described. I have them burning in now. I will be using 4th gen IMOD>ALO Cryo>Original Hornet. I will post my thoughts on these next week. Thanks...

I just ordered a pair from Seyo. What is the best way to remove the paper filter at the end of the tube? Thanks for all the reviews and tips! Joe

Yes I will. Thanks to all for the informative posts. Joe

I am ready to pull the trigger on buying a pair of the 500's. Is Seyo-shop still the best place to buy these? I also am going to buy the Sony hybrid silicone tips for these from ebay. Thanks for your recommendations. Joe

Thanks for all the info. After rereading this thread, it seems that the bass is not boomy. I think these should work well for classic jazz with the standup bass. I really like the fact that they do well with female vocals. I also understand that there is no perfect phone. Sometimes you have to...
