    Why do no audiophiles listen to electronic music?

    Unless I missed it, Thievery Corporation was left out of the list. Mirror Conspiracy is just an amazing album. Kruder & Dorfmeister, or Tosca are also recommended and similar in sound.   I'd also like to add Juno Reactor's Bible of Dreams to the list.

    The Revived Trip-hop/Chill/Electronic thread.

    Thanks much for this list. I've been stuck on certain artists/genres for a good while now and haven't branched out much. Good to get recommendations like this from time to time.

    Westone W60 Impressions Thread

    @Gurashieruro,   Are you still enjoying your w60? What are your general music listening tastes that you've found really pair up well with these IEMs?   Thanks much, I've got both se846 and w60 options on my plate via forumers, both of which have been super patient with me as I make my...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

    Heh, I just decided, well maybe I'll just get universals instead, and saw that they have a 3+ week wait time too. :( Apparently 64audio/1964ears is super popular now :)

    Thinking about replacing my broken Westone UM Pro30's with either Shure se525, or se846

    Good afternoon!   So, I've got the opportunity to either replace my broken Westone UM Pro30's at a 25% discount for a new pair from Westone, OR look elsewhere.   I decided I'd maybe look to Shure, at the 525 or 846's. Both of which have the ability to get custom inserts/shells made for them...

    Replacing broken Westone UM Pro30's with new UM Pro30 ($299.99) or go for 1964ears/64audio Adel U3 ($499.99)?

    Hi all,   I'm in a huge dilemma here.   TL;DR:  Westone UM Pro30 at a Westone-provided discount for $299.99, 1964ears U3 at $499.99? (seriously stretching the budget at $499.99 to get that ADEL tech). I've also already spent a little extra on a new cable for the UM Pro30 that broke (the...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    Super bummed about my UM PRO30's. My left driver went out last week. I bought  them off a great seller here on the forums, unfortunately, so warranty work will cost $$, westone's support immediately suggested just buying new. Any thoughts on a replacement, i'd love to keep it under $300. I was...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    So, I thought I accidentally killed my UM PRO30's by washing them when they were left in my shorts due to a hasty plane exit. To my excitement, they live, and still sound great!   I hope they continue to survive for a few years long.   I'm wanting to upgrade the cabling, specifically to...

    My Schiit Modi Has Been Possessed by an RF Ghoul

    Guys,   I'm having a similar issue with my Modi (USB) connected to a (IMO, nice) powered USB hub, via a Pangea Audio USB cable. I get all sorts of nasty scratching/feedback/stuttering/ then loss of signal anytime i use go back/forth in Chrome with my mouse only. I've tried moving the proximity...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    Wanted to give more props to these IEMs, as they are my first headphones of any 'type' with non-memory cables, and i flippin' love not dealing with tangled or permanently twisted cables. Oh and I'm continually blown away at the sound quality and isolation I'm getting from these UM Pro 30s.

    @HiFiRobot, do you primarily use Spotify? I ask only because of your signature. I just signed up for the premium subscription service to a/b test it with my Google Music All Access subscription for audio quality, specifically for these UM Pro 30s. You have a preference strictly from an audio...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    So, I just got my UM Pro 30's from a fellow Head-Fi'er and am so excited. They sound phenomenal and couldn't be happier. My only comparisons so far are with Klipsch X10's and Shure 840's, and without a doubt, I prefer the UM30's so far.

    Klipsch Image X10

    So I just received my X10s, and .. my mind and ears are just blown!    I'm so thoroughly impressed! Listening to them straight through my MBP retina's audio out jack via Mog 320kbit stream (Punch Brothers album "Punch"). I did order some Comply Tx100's with them and have one in one of the...

    Convert wired headphones to bluetooth

    What's your battery life been for the Fiio and Samsung devices?   I was thinking about doing something similar, but would love to get a full 8-12 hours of battery life each day (using them mainly in the office working)
