Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)
Hifiman RE-400 vs Rock-It Sound R-50 vs Etymotic HF5? They all seem really good, but I'm not really sure which to get. I mainly listen to underground/old school hip-hop, and also to some R&B, indie rock, and XXYYXX style electronic music. The HF5 seems to have the best isolation, the R-50 has...- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
Now I'm leaning towards the Rock-It Sounds R-50 and the Hifiman RE-400. Custom tips aren't as appealing to me anymore after I realized regular tips are actually pretty comfortable, I just had the wrong size for my current IEM's. So that's why I might not get the Etymotic HF2. According to...- steven-026

Hmmm, it costs $180, on Amazon, and $150 on this site I'm not too sure is legit. I'm not too sure if I would be able to get them because of that, but thanks for the recommendation anyway. I really appreciate it!- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
I'm thinking about getting the Etymotic HF2's, and then when I get the money, the ACS custom tips to go along with it; or the Rock-it Sounds R-50s. On Amazon, the HF2's cost $90, but it says that it is an older version. But when I type in the code for the newer version it looks to the same...- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
Whoops, change of plan. I plan on sporting a pompadour soon, so headphones won't be ideal because of the grease in my opinion. So I guess IEM's only as of now, but I'll probably get the Ultrasone HFI-780's if I change my mind. Edit: I think I might be willing to try more neutral, but good...- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
Both Ultrasones mentioned seem pretty interesting so far, though I'm still looking into them. I think I'm probably gonna go with closed headphones because I know the bass is typically better than open. And people will be able to hear my music with open back I believe(?).- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
Well I don't really care if they are IEM's or headphones as long as they are good. But if I had to choose, I'd probably lean towards headphones right now because I already have some IEM's that get me by just fine.- steven-026

IEM's or headphones for around $150ish?
My birthday is coming up in like a week, and I was thinking of asking for some nice IEM's or headphones (I don't care which) since I won't be having a party or anything. I guess I'll list my preferences first and go from there. I listen to mainly old school and underground hip-hop, some RnB...- steven-026

So the guy sold the AT96E that was supposed to come with the Kenwood KD-3070. He wants to sell the TT for $80 now, but I'm hoping to get him down to $70 so I can buy another cart. What cart can I get to replace it that is around the same "level" in terms of performance and price? Would the...- steven-026

The Kenwood is closer, so I guess that's a plus! Hopefully will have it within the next two weeks then. What phono-preamp will go well with it? And is $50 a decent budget for one?- steven-026

Which is the better deal? $40 for a Dual CS530, or a Denon Dp-31L for $110 with an Ortofon Omega? I know the Denon is probably a higher end model, but for $40 I feel like the Dual is pretty good.

Ok, I've narrowed down my options from Craigslist again haha. These are the prices without trying to bargain. Kenwood Kd-1500 & Technics Sl-b202, $150 for both, although I'm more interested in the Kenwood by itself, but seller didn't list prices for the tt's by themselves. Kenwood Kd-3070...- steven-026

I wouldn't say I'm a novice, but I wouldn't say that I know a whole lot either. But, I'm willing to learn how to do things, and I think I'm a pretty good learner. I'm not in a hurry, but obviously the sooner I get a setup working the better. Depending on the price, I would buy a phono preamp...- steven-026

The guy is asking $100 right now. He says its looks and works 100%(It does look pretty good in the pictures.). It also comes with an extra Audio Technica Dual Magnetic Cartridge, AT96E .4 x .7 mil Bi Radial Diamond. Is that a good price with the included cart?- steven-026

How much will I need to get a decent low-budget turntable setup going? And what are my options? As you can see, I really don't have much money to go into turntables right now, so anything that's cheap but doesn't sound horrid and gets the job done will work for me until I have a better source...- steven-026

Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King
Yes they are the Kicker clones. But I think I'm gonna try it out, see if I like it, and if not, get the Koss after a while. I really wasn't planning on spending around $100 for headphones yet.- steven-026
