    2.0 or 2.1 PC Speaker Set-up (College)

    I have the AudioEngine A2s, and they sound amazing. They're also highly recommended on this forum. A little heavy on the bass, but you can EQ that out. They retail for $200, but you may be able to find them cheaper if you look around.

    Quick Power Cable Question

    Plug them into the wall. It's the cleanest power you can get, and it sounds much much better, at least in my case.

    Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread

    Right now I'm using the double flange tips and wearing it the way the instructions say to, which is over the ear. I burned them in for about 10 hours last night and listened to them on my commute this morning. They actually got a lot better. Soundstage is wider, bass is tighter, and the highs...

    Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread

    So I just received my IE8 in the mail and I've been listening to it for about an hour now and jumping between various tips. I'm actually kind of disappointed. I know the sound will change with burn-in, but I can't get nearly the kind of isolation as I could with my Etymotic HF2s with Shure...

    FiiO E5 amp (E3 upgraded)

    Okay, I ordered 12/30/2008 so I guess they might be trying to fill orders before me first. I'll sit tight. Thanks guys.

    FiiO E5 amp (E3 upgraded)

    Does anyone else's status on Deal Extreme say "Processing...Please call for updates"? What does that mean? I feel like they should have shipped by now.

    Low end Suggestions (And I mean Low).

    Koss KSC75 would be perfect, they are open so you can hear things around you. However, that means other people might be able to hear your music as well. They run about $15-$20, but I think people on this forum may be clearing out the Radio Shack version for cheaper.

    Holy crap, it's already over. That's weird. Maybe they just wanted to move a couple units quickly. Oh well, I'm glad I got in!

    IE8 On Sale For $299.99 At HeadRoom

    Thanks, that's a great price. I just ordered a pair. I was debating between the IE8, SE530, and the W3 and settled on these because of the price. Also, I listen to a lot of hip-hop and the adjustable bass sounds like it would be really good for that. Now I think I'll have to sell my Etymotic...

    Hard to notice quality except in comparison?

    I've been away from my apt for a week and a half because of the holidays, and I returned and listened to my DT880s with a Little Dot MKIII amp again and it sounds amazing. I don't remember it sounding this good when I listened to it basically 5 days a week. It seems as though it's really...

    How to convert DT 880 into DT 990 (and vice versa). DT 770 Info.

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but are there any other impressions on this mod? I would like to have more bass on my DT880s, but I am hesitant to do something irreversible to them. Thanks.

    The Zero MOD Thread - 24/192 DAC/H/Amp

    It seems like the Tributaries power cord is sold out now. It's not on the website. I might just go for the Zu Birth cord. Thanks!

    The Zero MOD Thread - 24/192 DAC/H/Amp

    Has anyone tried upgrading the stock power cable on the Zero? I was thinking of getting an Iron Lung Jellyfish or a Zu Birth cable for it. Thanks.

    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Has anyone upgraded the stock power cable on the Zero? Is it even worth it for a budget DAC?

    Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling

    Wow, I just popped in my Mullard M8161's that I received in the mail and omg...the soundstage is ridiculous. I've been through the stock driver tubes, the M8100s, and the Voshod military spec tubes. They were decent, but this is by far the best out of all of them. I think I'm in heaven.
