    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Here is a shameless plug for the Moon Audio Black Dragon IEM cable for the Angies (Siren series).  I was experiencing interim drop-offs with my original (non-metal) Angies.  I bit the bullet and bought the Black Dragons.  The cord is infinity more flexible and less tangle-free.  Also, the...

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Wow, you are right!  One has three rings (the extra in the red container) and the other has two rings.  Upon comparison the two are different in size (3.5 versus 2.5) .  Thanks for the heads-up.  It saved me some embarrassment.  Good to know that I got what I am supposed to get.  Thanks much!

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Hi, I am a new owner of an Angie and had a question for current owners.  My accessories included a spare 3.5 mm cable.  I was under the impression that the package was supposed to include a 3.5 mm terminated cable and a balanced dual 2.5 mm cable for connection to A&K dacs.  Am I wrong?  If not...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I have both the Geek Out IEM 100 and the SE846.  I do need to adjust the settings for the IEM 100 and the volume control on my JRiver Media Center 19 is very sensitive (small changes result in big volume changes).  Not to the point of a tiny bump resulting in deafening volumes.  Also, no channel...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Try using the line out jack (next to the headphone jack).  Less gain, so less hiss but higher volume setting.  Works for me.

    amp/dac for the denon d7000

    I have had great success using an iBasso D10 Cobra with my Denon D7000s. I enjoy the sound so much that I am getting rid of some of my desktop amps. The DAC on the D10 has multiple inputs (USB, optical, and coaxial) so it is very flexible. Personally, I enjoy the stock opamp/buffer combination...
