So I own a pair of DT880/600s, and I have up to $400 to spend on an amp. After spending sufficient time with the DT880s, I have realized that a flat, analytical sound is not what I'm after. Kinda wanna see what the whole fuss is about with tubes.    Can you guys describe the difference...

I'm looking to power my 600 ohm dt880s.    This one showed up on the local craigslist for $150.   What's the amp like? Is it any good? How would it compare to the schiit magni 2, for instance?

So    There's a Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm that a friend is selling for $160 without case/packaging/accessories/etc (nothing but headphones). I should totally buy that right?    He'll throw in a cmoy for another $40. Should I buy the cmoy?    I do not currently have the budget to buy a...

In short, I was about to buy the se215, thought i'd check out what else is out there. I'm basically looking for a less bassy se215.   I haven't had the chance to try out the se215, but the way they are described makes them seem too bassy. For context, I find my ATH M50 a little bassier than...

I just heard When The Levee Breaks from the new Led Zeppelin 4, and it feels like most of the 'detail' is gone.    Anyone else had a chance to try them?   What has, in your opinion, been the best led zep releases?

Found two pairs of shures on a local craigslist listing, but they've got nothing to identify the iems, hey just have these pics.      

So there's an avid eleven rack out there for sale, used, around 400$.   Is it a good buy? As an amp simulator and guitar effects processor, it seems pretty decent, but how good of a Sound Card/Audio Interface do you guys consider it to be? 

Hey   So I've got the Alessendro MS1i with stock comfies.   What I dislike about them - Vague soundstage. Midbass is occasionally a little too powerful.  What I like about them - Everything else.    Which cushions should I replace the comfies with?

Quite a common question, I assume, but any threads pertaining to these two headphones was kinda unclear by the end.   Basically, they're being sold the me for 70$ (used but good condition), I could buy either.       Can someone explain to me the differences of their sound signatures?  ...

Hey SO.   I'm buying headphones to replace my Sennheiser HD518.   One of my main purposes for the headphones is to plug them into my guitar amp. Now the problem is that the HD518 are bassy. That coupled with my les paul gives a very very bass heavy sound.   So what kind of headphones...

Hey   So I bought the Sennheiser HD518. I don't particularly like it. Its way too bassy.   I do like some things about it, its got a nice big sound, I can see why it may appeal others.   Anyways.   I'm driving it straight from my laptop's internal sound card.   So I put on some music...

Hi.   So all those USB Sound Interfaces sold out there in the Guitar Stores. Like the Line 6 Pod Studio. Or the Alesis iO2 Express?   Do they help improve a Computer's audio output when heard through, say, a pair of headphones?   Basically, I saw the Apogee One. Beautiful piece of...

nvm. pls delete.

Hello So I've got a spare $100 that I could put into audio gear.    I've got a FRD80 and a Sennheiser HD238 at the moment. Driven directly from either my laptop or my nexus 4. So I don't exaclty need another headphone at the moment.   But the CAL!2 is intriguing. Although information is...

Hi   So this is probably one of the more ambiguous/arbitrary posts with no real reason to exist.   So over a few years as a head-fi lurker and more recently as a member, I've noticed that there's a price point around which the best value products exist. Its the point after which you pay a...

Hi.   I'm a bit of a newb as far as audio gear goes. I'm not too knowledgeable about amps and dacs.   But basically, my current audio rig is merely my laptop or my phone and my JVC fxd80 iem. I've seen better days, but this is where I'm at now. I've had the fxd80 for about a month now...

I'm considering purchasing an Audioquest Dragonfly.    Can anyone here tell me how it compares to alternatives like Fiios, Creative X-Fi Go, Asus Xonar U3, Stoner Acoustics UD1000 etc? Basically, it needs to be very small. Can't be more expensive than 200$, but I'd rather spend around 100$...

Hello, Head-fiers.   I've been interested in purchasing some of VSonic's IEMs, but their atrociously confusing names have got me stumped.   Does the number mean a better IEM? (i.e., is GR07>GR06>GR04>GR02>GR01? by that math, where does GR99 go?) Could someone do a direct GRxx?GRxx>GRxx...

Hello, Head-fiers.   So I'm looking to buy a good pair of IEM's. It's not my first foray into good sounding earphones, but it is my first post. Guide me.   There is a TL;DR section at the bottom of my post.   So recently, I realized the joys of better-than-stock iems. Till date...
