Back in January I bought a pair of K81dj's off a head-fi'er from Vancouver. They worked great and I loved them for library usage. Unfortunately a few weeks ago I snapped one of the 3D swivel hinges. I would take photos of the break point but I misplaced the headphones when I moved houses a few...

I'm back! This is my first post in a long while. I got the itch again. I can clearly say that taking a hiatus from head-fi was a good thing. It allowed my wallet to grow without constantly being chopped at the knees by my habits. Yet here I am again. I need some advice. I am a university...

Ah, so right now I'm on spring break, and I actually convinced my parents that going to a beach somewhere was a bad idea, and that we should actually go somewhere interesting. Lo and behold, we settled on New York. I'm posting this right at the end of my first full day in the big apple (after...

Just wondering if my e5c's can use the cheaper er4p tri-flanges. I know that the ety tips have a smaller stem than the stock shure ones, do they still fit on the e5c's pretty long sound tube? Thanks.

Quick question, say I rip a cd to my computer using flac/apple lossless/ape, then later I burn a copy of those files as an audio cd, what kind of quality loss am I going to get compared to the original cd. I imagine that some quality would be lost through decoding/encoding, but to what extent...

I got my used CD3000s of another member hear on head-fi, and they arrived in the mail today. No need to apologize for my wallet, I bought a pair of e5c's back in the summer. The cd3k's are really my first good set of regular style headphones, and so far I'm incredibly impressed. They were sent...

So I need some advice from you guys on what amp to build. I just can't decide between which of these three amps to build. Both PPAs are quite similar, only real difference I can see is that the 2.0 has diamond buffers standard and another pot for bass boost. I would probably be building the...

So me and my friend who are both self-titled audiphiles have gotten really interested lately in building an amp for ourselves. We have been talking about it a lot lately and we have started to get really psyched about it. Initially we would only build one. So, being that neither of us has...

First off, I'm really sorry for posting a quite noobish thread regarding a topic that has been covered in depth on this forum. I've done quite a bit of searching over the last few days, but I haven't been able to quite answer my own question regarding these two sets of cans. What I mean is, I...

Well, last week, my e5c's arrived (almost 3 weeks after ordering). I live in Canada, and ordered from Todd the Vinyl Junkie (a head-fi sponsor.) Todd made ordering the earphones as easy as possible, and even helped me deal with forseable costs including customs and duty. Overall Todd was an...

A while back, I lurked around these forums for a couple months, not really posting, just reading up. A couple weeks ago, I got my brand new 4g 40gb ipod, and finally got the nerve to buy some nice headphones. So, where did I begin my research? Right here. A week after my return to Head-Fi, my...
