AEDLE VK-1 Limited Edition Headphones
My connection wobbles as well and I had two defective cables (Mic and 1.2 m). I sent them an email and they are sending me a whole new set of cables. I am still debating if I should send mine back to get the connection replaced so it doesn't wobble. As for the contents Tibor is completely right.- IGarrettS

AEDLE VK-1 Limited Edition Headphones
So I just received my Vk-1 in the mail and they are exactly what I had hoped they would be. I've never liked the signature of an on ear headphone but this one has won me over. I have been listening for around an hour and although the fit is tight it is also very comfortable in my opinion...- IGarrettS

Thanks! I think I will sleep on it and pull the trigger tomorrow but, for right now I am leaning towards the VK-1.- IGarrettS

AEDLE VK-1 Limited Edition Headphones
I'm torn between the Beoplay H6 and the VK-1s. I auditioned the H6s and loved them but the VK-1s are so tempting. Anyone have both?- IGarrettS

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread
I auditioned a pair at the store but the assistant was pretty unkind so I just pulled the trigger on Amazon. Personally, I found them to be a little better than the P7s but they are both fantastic. I could be very happy with either of them.- IGarrettS

Connecting the CEntrance M8 to a balanced amp (a Schiit Mjolnir in this case)
This should clear things up for you http://www.moon-audio.com/moon-audio-silver-dragon-v3-extension-adapter-cable.html and if not you could always just special order it from toxic cables http://www.toxic-cables.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&product_id=58- IGarrettS

The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)
I just received mine... Playing w/ standard cables though an E17 (Yeah I know, I'm handling it. Thinking LYR GE standard tubes) from 8000+ bitrate FLAC and its, for lack of words, beautiful. I mean really just perfect. When I have my LYR I will report back.- IGarrettS

what is the best CIEM money can buy?
I'd say the JH16 Pro-JH3a Pro (w/ TWag V3 cable total ~$2,300) or the PP6 (~$2,300), although they include amps. Second choice would be the Heir 8A (~$1,300) and my third being the Spiral Ear 5-Ways ($1,900 w/ detachable cable) or maybe the UERM (~$999). For a review of most noteworthy CIEMs you...- IGarrettS

Unique Melody Platform Pure 6 (PP6) - review (1st post), discussion, appreciation, & tour thread
After spending the past ~3 hours reading through this 27 page thread there is one question that I and probably a few other people here still have. (for those who have listened to both the PP6 and JH-3A) How do they match up against each other? Of course everyone will have their own preferences...- IGarrettS

JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions
As an owner of the AKG K3003i I can testify to the fact they are amazing headphones. They are my go to buds and the only thing I feel they could be replaced with is the JH3a which I am hoping to get soon. Just before I wrote this I moved the K3003 from my bed because I didn't want to fall asleep...- IGarrettS

Final JH3A revision Impressions
Thanks, I came to pretty much the same conclusions, just wondering if there were any others out there. A worry with the moon audio cable was that the 1/8 inch mini which would go into my computers 1/8 output might not transmit the 24 bit 96kHz signal I'm hoping for. I mostly use a USB when...- IGarrettS

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones
Think exactly the same thing but your 17 with a AKG K 550 + braided 9ft cable, Fiio E17 Alpen and a digitoid Zo (which I use occasionally). People just stare sometimes, it gets pretty funny.- IGarrettS

19 custom IEM/TF10/Shure/IE8 cables reviewed (Effect Pearl, Apollo, & Odin added 3/20/13)
Thanks guys, your the best. I'm probably going to order my JH3a around Christmas then look at my cabling options once I can afford to (I am a student at the moment so a ~$2000 JH3a is already pushing it). I have heard great things about your cables and might end up going for the TWag V3. Thanks...- IGarrettS

19 custom IEM/TF10/Shure/IE8 cables reviewed (Effect Pearl, Apollo, & Odin added 3/20/13)
I am guessing that most, if not all, of these cables could be made with four, two pronged IEM connectors instead of the standard two with two prongs. Id love to be able to use these with the JH3a system.- IGarrettS

AKG K550 review - Essentially a closed-back K702 - literally.
The K550s get increasingly better over time, its like an endless burn in session. I have had mine almost 6 months with over 300-400 hours of total playing time and they sound amazing.- IGarrettS

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones
I let my friends try out my AKG K3003i and they nearly **** a brick, then one of them looked them up to buy a pair and now I'm ridiculed constantly for having a $1,500 pair of earbuds as I continue to buy more and more headphones. Afterwards I let them have another go but with FLAC files through...- IGarrettS

Review by 'IGarrettS' on item 'AKG K 550'
I have loved these headphones since I picked them up out of the box. They are mostly metal with thick, soft, leather pads and sit on your head very snugly (and if they don't for some reason you can bend it slightly, feel free to message me if you have questions). They produce excellent sound and...- IGarrettS

Reply to review by 'igarretts' on item 'AKG K 550'
I love my K550s but agree with you on the slight discomfort with long term use. Try this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00862522A/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01 when you get it don't worry about the fit, just keep trying and it will snap on. once it stretches out a little (I left it for 24 hours)...- IGarrettS

AKG K550 VS Denon AHD2000?
I own a pair of AKG k550s and love them. Very solid construction with excellent quality across the board and awesome comfort. The AHD2000s are also pretty good headphones, I currently don't own a pair but I did demo a few (both burnt in and not) and borrowed a friend's pair for a few days before...- IGarrettS
