FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Can anyone recommend a DAP for pairing with the FLC 8S (and probably Celeste in the future)? Right now I am just using my Phone (Huawei Honor 8). I thought about getting Chord Mojo or Oppo HA2 but listening to music on my phone annoys the hell out of me because of texts/calls and...- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Sorry, I meant to post my opinions on red grey gold earlier and forgot. I went back to grey grey gold. Red was just too much for me, outside of some pop and EDM type songs. Reminds me of M50X a bit, which I love for that type music but not much for anything else. I don't find the...- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Okay, so I've decided that I've got to have a new cable. -Is the FLC silver upgrade cable available on fulfilled-by-amazon or anywhere in the US, or do I have to ship from LMUR store directly in SG? It's not on LMUR Amazon USA store front. If shipping directly from SG to USA, how long...- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Primarily, a Samsung Note 3 with Spotify Premium set to "extreme quality". I have a Fiio E10K and USB OTG cable, and use that about half the time usually -- but with these, I'm not able to notice as much of a difference as with my old IEMs (Shure E3c) or my fullsize headphones (ATH-M50X...- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Well, I'm not really seeing too much of a problem with the cable. It was very windy out here today, and I walked the dogs with the FLC 8S on, and then laid in the hammock drinking beer and listening to Fleetwood for several hours. And I'm not noticing much microphonics. Sure, there is a...- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Welp, Earlier this week, I asked this thread if these would be a good option for me, looking for a good midrange IEM and coming from a ten year pair of E3c, comparing to various options from shure and westone. Signal2Noise, dlayman, audio123, and nmatheis were my enablers. They just...- robokevin

I mod mechanical watches for fun, so I'm good there. Any recommendations for an after market cable? I guess I'll wait and see if the microphonics really bother me first though. They never really have on my E3cs, and that cable isn't even braided, and I use triple-flanges.- robokevin

FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Could you guys coming from higher end Shure and Westone offer me some advice? I bought Shure E3c when they came out in 2005 and have used them almost every day since then until recently. I was never really a headphone enthusiast and never tried any "good" headphones other than these...- robokevin

Ambient Music
Hey all, new-ish to head-fi here. One way I like to find Ambient/Drone stuff is by listening to SomaFM.com. If you can stand 128kbps (seems to be fine for this kind of stuff, to my uneducated ears), they have at least two great stations -- The "Drone Zone" and "Deep Space One". There are a... -

Thank you for the help, everyone. I have decided I'm going to get the 225e and will listen to it direct from my portable for a while, and then maybe try an amp and/or DAC. If it's too harsh, I'll send them back and try the 80e. I was tempted to buy both and just send back one of them, but...- robokevin

Grado Fan Club!
Hey guys, I'm seeking some input. I'm relatively new to quality headphones. I bought a pair of Shure e3c IEMs (I guess they were the precursor to the se315s) about 12 years ago, and they bit the dust about a month ago after giving me a whole lot of use. I wanted to try on-ear...- robokevin
