    Turntable newbie

    Hey all, I've posted on this site a couple times before in regards for headphones but have never explored turntables, or record players.  I absolutely have NO idea about turntables/record player.  I'm just wonder where would be a good place to start looking into record players.  Ex: what...

    M50 Coiled Cable Question

    I myself have a pair of M50's and I find the coiled cables to be just fine.  If you were to leave the whole cable hanging out while you walk then you'd notice the swinging and it'll move your headphones on your head a bit.  Otherwise just tuck a bit of the cable into your pocket and you're all...

    ATH-M50, Q40, or SRH840?

    Thanks for the input guys! I went ahead and decided to go with the M50's because I don't have a portable amp.  I ordered a few days ago and will post up my initial impressions of it without an amp.

    ATH-M50, Q40, or SRH840?

    I mainly listen to pop, hip-hop/rap, and techno.  My sources will be my iTouch and laptop, so no amp.

    Starting earphones

    Thanks for all the advice guys, after much contemplation, I've decided to go with the Thinksound Rains.  I figured that since I've just started to seriously pay attention to sound quality I should start something balanced and with a bit of the oomph in bass.  Then I can build off that and figure...

    Starting earphones

    So what I'm getting is that I should first start of with the Rains because I don't know my preference yet right?  The RE0's look tempting but then the Rains don't seem bad at all also.  So Rains are more balanced than RE0's but the RE0's are specialized?   And btw my sound source is an...

    Starting earphones

    So should I get the Thinksounds or the RE0?  And I looked online, are the head-direct RE0's the same as the Hifiman RE0's? Can someone compare the Thinksound with the RE0 for me?
