    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!

    I've been listening to the EST50 with new ears recently after switching cables and noticed the immense space these monitors have - I believe this is the benefit of ESTs, since we obviously can't hear those frequencies. Still worth it. I have the H40, H50, and EST50 from ISN and the EST50 stands...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!

    Just got my H50's today. Holy smokes, these are good. I have the H40 and EST50, but the H50 is immediately my favourite of the three right out of the box. [I have since rediscovered the EST50 on the GC4 cable.. that's my new favourite of the bunch. I'd been using the Penon Mix cable for that...

    What's a good price for a used pair of GR10e's?

    Reply to review by 'GoldBug' on item 'Penon Fan2'

    @PKTK it was very brief, these are awesome earphones. The initial mild disappointment was because they sound very similar to the ISN IEMs I already have with the "Penon sound". Now after some hours listening, I'm more disappointed I've spent so much on other IEMs, lol. Absolutley worth it.

    Just got mine today, super fast shipping and it's a holiday today, lol. First impression was like.. yup, that's exactly what I expected! This was mildly disappointing for some reason, but I got over it. I have the ISN H40 and EST50, but this is my first Penon IEM. Super familiar sound. I'm...

    The discovery thread!

    Which cable for the ISN EST5O do you prefer, the ISN CU4 or Penon Leo Plus?

    The discovery thread!

    I'd used the ISN CU4 for my H40's and just ordered the EST50's, so I decided to get the 2-pin CU4 for them. Cable arrived first. Plugged it into my Empire Ears Hero and had a revelation like none other. The way this cable improves the Hero is astonishing. If you told me you'd switched out my...

    Your 5 newest CDs (or LPs)

    My latest haul - 5 CD's plus 1 DVD.   My last post here included an album by Nikki Yanofsky (you may know her from the Vancouver Olympics - she sang the anthem 'I Believe')  - I also mentioned that I had just bought tickets to her concert. Well, it turns out she is absolutely amazing! So I...

    UFO sighting in China

    It's just a high tech military aircraft.   Once the powers that be have gotten all they can out of playing the terrorism card, they will likely play the alien invasion card in their false flag problem/reaction/solution game. Then they'll be able to bring in all the draconian laws and...

    What is, in your opinion, the SMOOTHEST song you can think of?

    Ok, I have already posted my choice the smoothest song (D'Angelo's 'Lady')...   But I just picked up Jose James' 'Blackmagic' album and the whole dang thing is smoooooth! Dude is the definition of smooth.   Check it out:

    5.1 channel surround sound vs. "normal headphones"

    Anyone ever try this??  DIY surround sound with headphones...   Plug your 5.1 receiver and headphone amp into the same source. While listening to your full size open headphones at regular volume start slowly increasing the volume on the surround loudspeaker system from zero... You eventually...
