Galaxy Note 5 Audio Quality
First off, I apologize for the necrobump. I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been going nuts with the mp3 playback issue with many different apps. I always figured it was a software issue vs hardware and I'm grateful for that at least. Poweramp has been a great workaround. Prior to...- Mediaogre

Off-topic: what the heck is up with the BANNED statuses I've seen lately? Two fine, well spoken, and helpful Head-fiers, Bennyboy71 and Anaxilus both show BANNED under their handles. I've never witnesses any behavior that seems ban-worthy. What does one do to get banned on Head-fi? Sheesh!- Mediaogre

...her gym. There's a doode that's been going there for a while. He does his push-ups and crunches IN the sauna with his iPod blaring Eye of Tiger (I s*** you all not) through crappy ear buds for everyone to hear. Unfortunately for everyone, the iPod hasn't suffered heat failure and he just...- Mediaogre

I haven't decided yet. I'm satisfied with my 1G. I did have the bug at first, but now I'm not so sure. So, I'm not on the list... for now. As I like to say, "the sheep's in the water." ;) ("Wool sea" - we'll see) Quote:- Mediaogre

Lol, yeah. Client focus, focus, focus through the ACOG scope. Sit still, dammit! ;) Well said, GM, in every area. I've mentioned the *slight* channel imbalance, but only in the spirit of honesty and accuracy. It is a non-issue. The crackle... people, please. If there's anyone...- Mediaogre

I thought you might get around to asking that, Grokit. And, CRAP. I'll amend my sig. 1G, my man. So, yeah - I've got the 10-120-70 ( 0 II I ) impedance switch measurements. Quote:- Mediaogre

Bring back dkft's grumpapuss x1 I miss it already. It reminds me of that Robert Scull story that ran as an animated short on cartoon channels a bunch of years ago called, Grumpy Bug. Sandra Bernhard narrated and it's frickin' hilarious.- Mediaogre

Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
I couldn't ask for a better portable to pair with those two vastly different phones. It's really ridiculous how versatile and efficient the Arrow is. A lot of us here pair the Arrow with the HD650 and believe it or not, it works extremely well. Personally, I've been cranking the gain on the...- Mediaogre

Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
@ SoulSyde - Excellent, well-thought and well-written feedback. I'll make a simple suggestion with regard to the hiss. Keep in mind that YMMV. I have the G1. However, I also have the J3, so here it is. With the UEs, try leaving the impedance at 0, and set the gain to I or II. Dial down the...- Mediaogre

Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
^^ That's sort of what I figured. Thanks. Good to know. By the way, I was surprised but the 530s sent me into phase convulsions at 20Hz. I had no idea they'd produce signals that low.- Mediaogre

Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
Kingpage, thanks for this perspective. I started with my Shure SE530s at around 16000 Hz, couldn't hear jack (which is pretty much what I expected) and then bumped the frequency down to 14000. Then up to 15000 and couldn't hear anything. However, when I incremented up from 14000 in 100 Hz...- Mediaogre

For quality portability and flexibility, quite a few of us are using the Headstage Arrow. It's a design marvel, will drive your sensitive IEMs and has plenty of clean power to drive 300ohm cans. Quote:- Mediaogre

Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
I'm bummed to hear about the report of G3 hiss with the Westone3 and other IEMs. The SE530s have often been compared to the Westones and I was close to going forward with the upgrade. It'll be interesting to hear more people weigh in. For now, I'll stick with the G1 which brings me only joy and...- Mediaogre
