Hey thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have two surround backs as well making it a 7.1ch. The setup that I want is one that will make listening to music most enjoyable. To me that would mean most realistic (kinda like sitting at a concert). I just love when I am listening to a...

I have a decent sound system that has been passed down from my father. Its a set of the Klipsch Reference RB-81. Its the bookshelfs along with the center, two surrounds, and a Velodyne subwoofer. I am powering them with a Pioneer Elite VSX-40 A/V Receiver via Digital Optical from my Asus Xonar...

Oh wow. I might go with the 1/4" jacks then because then i can also have dual output to headphones. THANKS!

Hey head-fi community, I need some help with an audio interface that I bought. I have an Avid M-Box 3 and I am trying to route the audio to my sound system. The problem is the mbox only has S/PDIF and analog out via quarter jacks (which i cant use). I also have a Pioneer Elite vsx-40 receiver...

So I ended up going with the Westone 4R's. I got them really cheap for $325. I will update this post on how they sound when I get them.

So I just got the new FiiO X5 and I reallly love this player! I feel like im not getting all out of it though with just my Klipsch X7i's. I want to upgrade and get a good IEM that pairs well with the FiiO X5. Im not to sure how to search for this so this is why I am making a post here. Hopefully...

Ya i saw that post. Im looking in a different price range though. Around $200-300.

Just IEM's

Right now im using a pair of Klipsch X7's. Im thinking of an upgrade and want to get some IEMs that pair well with the X5. Im thinking of a price range around 200-300$. Has anyone listened to the X5 with Shure SE425's? Any other suggestions?

Ok so I've loaded some music on the x5 and I have given it a listen. I am running fw2.0. Keep in mind that im coming from an ipod touch 4g with no amping. Ok so the sound of the x5 is AMAZING! And to think its not even burned in yet. I dont understand the people saying that there is no bass. It...

more first impressions: i really like the screen and the UI. I think Fiio did a great job. I actually like it better than the ipods music app UI. I never really liked the ipods music app. Idk why. I havent used it outside so i dont know if the screen suffers in sunlight yet. So far i think Fiio...

just got my x5 after a tough month and half wait from mp4nation. First impressions are pretty good. I agree that the scroll weel is a little flimsy. Other than that this thing feels solid. I am loading music onto the cards right now. I will update you on sound when i have a time to listen. I am...

I found this one: http://www.amazon.com/ART-Tube-Studio-Mic-Preamp/dp/B0002E50MC/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t is this good? do i need this?

I have the Audiotechnica AT2020 condenser mic which i accidentally bought because the manufacturer has them listed as the same name as the USB version. I also have the Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card in my computer.  First thing is that the microphone did not come with a stand or a cable so i...
