I discovered that I got the best bass response when using the stock bi-flange tips, but one of the tips came off and is now lost forever. I wanted to order some Comply tips after hearing how good they are. What would be the best choice for the NE-8's and the NE-7's? (my friend has the 7's and...

I just got my NE-8s this morning (an unexpected surprise). So far, the bass is definitely lacking (being unamped), but I'll see how they sound after some burn-in. What comply tips should I get to work with the ne-8s?

Subscribed for updates. Interested to hear it's sq.

I'm getting a pair of M-Audio BX5a's tomorrow for my computer set-up, but I have a question and figured I could ask it here: How would I be able to hook them up to my computer? I have to run an 1/8" out, but how would I be able to get that to go to separate TRS cables?

I don't think that I'm quite ready to drop 400 on iem's yet. I was looking at the UM1's for rounding out my portable rig.

Hey everyone. Ordering my Boa within the next couple of weeks. I had a question though: does anyone have any idea of what kind of sq improvement I would get when connecting it to my 80GB Zune via the mini out with Sony MDR-v600s, Alessandro MS1's, and the stock Zune ECH? I'm trying to...

Can anyone comment on how these sound with Grado cans? Mainly the prestige series.

I already have a phono amp, so I guess I don't need one. Looking at what you guys have posted, it seems most economical to build my own passive switchbox. Looking at the diagrams, it doesn't look to be too difficult. Thanks for the info, Erik, I'll check that out.

I am having some major difficulties finding a preamp with exactly what I need. I need a preamp to use as a selector between my three sources: CD > DAC, USB DAC, and turntable. I need two line-level outputs: one for my head amp and one for my power amp. Why is it so damn hard for me to find...

How does it sound with metal, and are you using the DAC portion of it?

Hai, Zack! There is a guy from Santa Rosa (a town about 15 miles away from me in this thread).

I'll be picking up some 880's sometime after October. And I'm getting the Boa asap along with a speaker amp. Should hold me over for quite a while.
