I have vsonic GR07's and I've been too hard on the cable where it connects to the jack. It doesn't have a microphone, and the issue is right on the jack. I have no soldering experience at all, but I'd like to get more technical with my understanding of my audio gear and this seems like a decent...

I'm looking for IEMs that have nice durable stock cords. I used to have Shure 530s remolded with inearz..the cord was durable but the custom mold attachment to the cord was weak and I lost the actual drivers....  I can't afford to spend that much this time, but obviously I'm looking for...

Bump! I know there's lots of general LCD2 cable threads but this price range is another matter!  Thanks folks.  

Hi all - I know there are lots of LCD2 cable threads, but I'm starting this one because I want specific price range of $100-200. I'm open to the idea that there could be a price/performance sweet spot above or below that but that's ultimately want I want to go for: price/performance.     I was...

I recently picked up a used Ray Samuels Raptor from head-fi, which I love. I was researching possible tubes to experiment with and I noticed that there is one called Raytheon 5687WA. I currently have some GE tubes in the amp and they're designated 5687WB.    I'm new to tubes and wondering if...

Spend your budget on what you want, without getting them customized > save for remolding, get that done when you can is my suggestion.  

Quote:   I got an interconnect and a spdif from them I use with my setup - very happy as well!

Ditto the thanks to Doc & Poppa - glad people are willing to put in that extra effort to organize and host these.  Grateful to whomever sent out the Stax (was it cavalli themselves?) was a lot of fun to get to try that.     It was super fun to talk headphone speak to other actual human...

That sucks - sorry don't have it & didn't hear anything.    On another note, is there a separate impression thread? I've seen that elsewhere but this was my first meet so don't know.   Here's my impression preview: it was fun!

My advice is get them molded to your ears, can't beat that comfort & fit.  I found it more enjoyable for working out...something about plugging my ears with flanges wasn't pleasant.

Coming! Looking forward to learning about everyone's gear and to have folks teach me about my own stuff!     Bringing: Macbook Cambridge DacMagic 100 RSA The Raptor Grado SR225 Audeze LCD-2 Shure SE530s (molded to my ears, though)   Anybody bringing a turntable for my Jack...

Delineation in bass frequencies while maintaining a fair amount of impact & extension. Lesser headphones might have bass hits sound similar when in fact they're uniquely toned or tuned. Transparent & agile in the middle and upper ranges where it should be (think of preserving the unique timbre...

Enjoying really well engineered and mastered pop tracks lately.    Rihanna - We Found Love Janet Jackson - Feedback   I'm actually not normally a Rihanna fan but her voice on this track is absolutely immaculate. I've recently graduated to LCD-2s and the presentation of well recorded...
