so i've had my DACMagic for a few years now and i've been really happy with it   just a few days ago, though, the A/C adapter it came with randomly gave out and i ordered a generic one with the same voltage, current and plug size from amazon   that got here today and i plugged it in...

I'd definitely like to come, last year's was fun.   Equipment I can bring:   Grado RS1i Sennheiser HD700   Woo Audio WA6 Cambridge Audio DACMagic ALO Audio Rx Mk2 CypherLabs AlgoRythm

My price range is probably $200 and under, though cheaper is always better would the nano bring significant improvements over the Classic in terms of quality? and would it be any better in terms of reducing background feedback? well, i don't really need anything with bells and...

so, i use an iPod Classic / AlgoRythm / Rx Mk2 rig in tandem with my UM Miracles and i absolutely adore it, but i often find myself in situations in which it'd be much easier to have a small form-factor player i could actually fit in my pocket, just when walking around without my bag with me  ...

i tested out a pair of Mini Maggies today and, my god, they were marvelous. best speakers i've ever heard. so i've decided to get a pair, but my question is, what amplifier should i go with for them? the guy at the audio store noted that they need a LOT of power (they were driving it with a...

ok, so i recently tried my friend's Bose QC15 headphones and, while i strongly disliked both the sound signature and the noise cancelling, there was one defining feature of them that i'll never forget.   these bose headphones had what i would argue to be the most comfortable earpads i've...

so, the consensus among those who have tested it is that it is unpleasantly sibilant? that sucks, i was hoping for a cheaper, easier to drive HD800

it's 99.999% psychological, imo

i mean, if you bought beats, all you care about is the appearance, so it doesn't really matter if they're real, just that they look real enough

Hey guys, so i've always loved the idea of starting my own retail shop, and for the past couple years, headphones have become one of my main hobbies, and i was thinking about the (somewhat unrealistic) possibility of starting an audio store up. not now, but perhaps it could be a plan for years...

unforeseen circumstances prevented me from attending the last one :( definitely going to this one, sign me up :)

Just get the RS1s, gotta be this

okay, thanks for the help everyone i've narrowed my choices down to the RS1, MS-Pro, PS500 and Symphones Magnum anyone have any experience with these that they could advise me with? also, does it matter significantly if the cans are designated with that i (RS1i, MS-Proi, etc)? i know that i...

ah, i see i haven't experienced that, to my knowledge, although i can definitely imagine it coming from Grados

true. i'm experiencing the opposite of this with my 650s. for example, just listened to "oviedo" by Blind Pilot on the 650s and thought, "wow, this sounds really, really good, maybe they're better at acoustic guitar and vocals than i thought", but then i listened on my 702s and they blew the...
