Completely understandable response. I have double and triple checked that my Mac's volume was at max. I also tried other sources such as my ipad (again, with max volume) and iphone and the issue still persists. This magni 3 is actually a second replacement as the first magni was also...

Guys, I just got my magni 3 and pairing it with my HD6xx I am very underwhelmed to the point I think there may be an issue with the amp. I am running it straight out of my macbook pro (no dac) with rca adaptor plugs. On high gain I have to crank it all the way to 3 o clock before i get decently...

Was in the exact same situation as you (got in on those crazy $99 black friday triple.fi deals a few years back). I still have the triple.fi and I can say with confidence that these are an upgrade in just about all frequencies, regardless of filter choice.

Been listening to mine for about 2 weeks now. Judging from the posts, I have to say that the red fronts are criminally underrated. To me they sound so creamy and lush without any harshness while still retaining imaging and resolution. Perfect for an all day listening session. From all the filter...

Tried these out at CanJam yesterday. I was particularly impressed by the accuracy and quickness of the B400. I will be keeping an eye on these. 

triple.fis are the most technically superior...by far.

Quote: its amazing how drastically opinions differ. I find that these are quite the opposite of bright and CERTAINLY not brighter than the triple.fi's. did you mean to that they weren't bright?

Maybe slightly. And even that is up for debate.

Yeah, don't worry. You are probably in the majority here. Head-fi'ers are a strange bunch. We like to think that a $300 IEM will sound far better than a $30 one, but that is simply not how it works. We are also an extremely gullible audience, with too much money on our hands. We will believe...

Where did you get the S4's for under $20?   Or did you mean to say the S2s?

If it is an even trade, I personally would not. I feel the MTPC are over rated.      

Correct. That coupled with the factthat the vi cable is oos everywhere and there's a couple on eBay for $50. Anyone know where I can get vi cables for $20-$30?Ultimate ears official site is oos

Is it possible to recable the triple.fi's with the cables of my stock iphone earphones with mic/volume control?

so...the headphone version of the triple.fi....anybody?  

Ok so my cable has split. Anyone have any luck with UE/logitech sending a replacement cable for a 6 months out of warranty triple fi (brought from the legendary 2009 amazon deal).

Older gen iPods do not have the hardware support for the remote. You can blame apple for that one.

imagine if she actually DID visit head-fi and saw this...

one of the most helpful posts i have ever come across. Kudos.

Quote: I think its a great question. you know, there is such a thing as diminishing returns.

Quote: I disagree. To me, the coppers were a clear downgrade. Usually, "sidesteps" are for equal IEMS with a different sound sig.

for head thumping bass, you can not go wrong with the Beats by Dr. Dre.

if you up your budget a little, i can recommend the JH audio JH16. the bass is pretty good.

really?
