    Can you recommend some in-ear monitors for around $150?

    Using them from an iPod classic unamped.   Using them on a commute 50/50: walking/tram.   Mostly listen to alternative rock (Chili Peppers, Black Keys), classic rock, rap/hip-hop and a bit of electronica (written in the order of importance).   I like a warm, immersive sound, that is...

    Getting Fischer Audio Eterna v1's Fixed?

    They've stopped playing music on the left side.  I emailed Fischer Audio but didn't get any response; my local shop couldn't repair them.  Any ideas where to go to get them fixed?

    Best cheap earbuds for under $20?

    Looking for a really cheap pair of earbuds to use with my iPod.  I'm just going to keep them in my jacked pocket for those moments when I can't use my big headphones.  Basically the least ****ty of the ****ty earbuds.  If it matters, I listen to classic and alternative rock, and hip-hop.

    The best closed headphones to use on a commute, for under $200?

    I'm looking for a pair of closed back headphones to use on my way to work.  Some important things to mention:   -I take the subway/bus so it's VERY important that the headphones isolate outside noise and also aren't too loud for those around me. -I will be using them with my iPod WITHOUT an...

    CHEAP and Small Amp for HD 650s?

    I have a setup for my 650s that I love, but it's big and in my bedroom.  I'd love to add a small tiny cheap amp to my setup in the living room to be able to use my 650's when I want them there.   What would you suggest?  Certainly nothing over $75.  Right now it goes iPod/turntable > phono...

    A cord that is raw wire on one end and RCA on the other...

    Does that exist?  How would I search for it?  By 'raw wire' I meant the sort of wire that is just metal and gets clamped on to.

    A Cheap Amp to go between an iPod and M-Audio AV-40s?

    Looking for a cheap amp to go between my iPod Classic and M-Audio AV-40s.  Something under $75.  In terms of music I listen to classic, bluesy rock and hip hop.  I'd like a warm, clear, energetic, big sound... if it's possible to be picky at this price range.  Just listening to them in a living...

    Fischer Eterna v1 / v2?

    Can anyone comment on the difference?  I've read the threads that talk about them but I'd just like to hear everyone's opinion.  If I like what I've read about the v1 should I get the v2 (v1 isn't available form the retailer here in Canada).

    How do I know if I like a 'fun' or 'analytic' sound?

    How do I know??  I'm reading through reviews and I feel like I should really get this out of the way first.   I like a warm, full, enveloping sound.  Something that sounds like it's coming out of big speakers in a dark living room if that makes sense.  But at the same time I also like...

    After three years, time for new IEMs!

    I've been using Westone UM1s for a few years and they broke again so I think I'll get a new pair.   What do you recommend under $150?  I mainly listen to rock, some rap, and bits of other genres.  I'll be using them in the subway so isolation is very important.  I like a full, clear, warm...

    What to do with the grounder from a turntable?

    I just got the PP3 preamp, not exactly sure what to do with the grounding wire?    Here is the back of it.   I'm guessing that screw labelled "GND" is where it goes?  It's a nut and bolt sort of thing, I'm assuming I unscrew it a bit, attach the wire, then re-screw the nut on?

    Cheap Phono Preamp?

    Just got a brand new turntable!!!  I'm ecstatic!     Right now I'm using a headphone amp to power M-Audio AV-40's.   Can you recommend a budget amp to go between the turntable and the speakers?

    Best Headphones for around $20?

    For an MP3 player, no amp/DAC.  Primarily for rock.  What would you recommend for around $20?   Please don't just recommend a more expensive one because that isn't helpful at all!

    M-Audio Super DAC 2496

    Anyone have any opinions on this? Particularly how it would match up with a Macbook, LD mkIII and Senn 650s?

    Best DAC for < $200?

    I'd like a USB powered DAC for the price I mentioned. At the moment I have Senn 650s and a LD mkIII. I adore the full rich sound, but could do with a bit more clarity. Not so much as to get rid of those features that I mentioned I love. Thanks for the help!

    If all I need is a DAC which is better...

    The NuForce uDac, or this? Going from a Macbook, to a LD MKIII, to a pair of Senn 650s? Price isn't the issue, I'd just want the better of the two.
  24. Melanter

    Icon, uDac etc.

    I get confused by all of the different Nuforce DACs. What are the differences between them?
  25. Melanter

    Macbook > ? > LDmkIII > Senn 650s?

    Which DAC would you recommend? Keeping in mind I have almost nothing to spend and would like the cheapest/best value option.
