I used to spend a lot of time on this forum over a decade ago and am now getting back into it. Currently using my trusty Sennheiser HD555's through an Ifi Zen Dac. I have to start out by saying that I always listen with the Truebass boost on. I know that's not the audiophile way to do it, but I...

So I have my HD555's and my first nearly completed cmoy amp.  This was my first venture into DIY electronics and I already want to build a CmoyBB with the separate bass control.   I don't have enough money to upgrade my phones at the moment so am thinking of doing the foam removal mod.  I've...

I've had my Westone UM1's for about two weeks now and I think they're great. The comfort is the best part about them, if only they were as crisp sounding as my grado's! They have a more warm sound like the senn's. The short comply tips are my favorite but they seem pretty delicate and I don't...

I'm looking at upgrading from the Creative EP630's to the Super Fi 5 Pros but I have a couple questions: I have small ear canals and am wondering if I'll have any fit problems? Small enough that sometimes when I use q-tips ear wax will completely block the canal blocking all sound. How...

I just got the EP-630's before a trip last week. Obviously they blow the ibuds out of the water. I had plenty of time to try out the different size tips and fiddle around to get the best seal. I have smaller than average ears, but the large tips were the easiest to get the best seal - is that...

Well, I finally joined the ipod bandwagon. If I want to listen to my ipod at work through my computer without itunes, can I just plug it in through the usb? Or do I need to feed it through the aux in? And will it charge the ipod even though itunes is not on it? Thanks for all the...

Hey guys- my girlfriend would like us to use 1 computer instead of having 2 separate ones in our apt. She currently has an ipod and I've been considering getting one. Unfortunately our music tastes don't exactly line-up. Could we use itunes on 1 computer and keep the music separate for 2...

I'm a newcomer to this whole audiophile headphone stuff. A couple years ago I bought a set of Senn HD555's to go with a new digital piano I bought. It's my first pair of "serious" headphones. I think they sound great, but after reading the discussions on this forum for awhile I realize there are...

I've been browsing these forums for a long time, and I have my first question: I'm thinking about getting an Ipod (5.5G) and I already have all my music on my computer in MP3 format. I used WMP11 to rip my cd's, do the auto tagging, and add in the album art. If I import it all into Itunes...
