Hey everyone, It's been a while since I dropped by (and strangely, I got some notifications the other day about a random guy necro'ing a 5-year old thread of mine.) Anyway, it seems most times I visit, my wallet suffers, so I ended up staying away a while and simply enjoying what I had...

Hey guys,   It's been a while since I last checked around here, although in my defense, every time I check in here my wallet tends to get lighter for some reason. In either case, I suppose it's about to do just that... assuming I can figure out what to spend it on.   I imported a pair of...

Hey there, everyone,   It's been a while since my last visit, although my excuse it that it's saved me money because we all know what happens when you stay on this forum too long. :P Unfortunately, I am back, and that means I am prepared to lose money again.   Anyway, as my sig...

Hey guys,   A friend of mine is getting a pair of upcoming Focal speakers, which seem to be a 2.0 system. He's looking for a good soundcard to complement it with, and he says he doesn't really use headphones. His budget is about $150, maybe $200 max.   Judging by these needs, I...

Hello everyone,   I'd like to start off by saying I hate Head-Fi. Or at least my wallet does. Anyway, I've been looking for another set of headphones since I heard a friend's ATH-W1000X and loved them. Unfortunately, it's tough to justify such a high price, and I went looking for something...

Hey there guys, I'm getting pretty annoyed with my Yuin OK2's. It's part of my portable rig but it's used pretty lightly. By lightly, I mean once a week and I haven't even used it at all this summer. Even so, it seems to have managed to break. I should mention that this is my second set. My...

Hello everyone,   It seems long posts don't garner much interest, so I'll keep it short and simple this time. Besides a soundcard from Asus or Auzentech, what are my options for an external dac/amp or dac+amp for driving HD600's, along with SRH840's and my Audioengines? That in itself...

Hello everyone,   I've been meaning to ask this for a while, as I've entertained the thought several times. I used to be fine with my PC's onboard Realtek audio and a really old SB Audigy 1. However, a friend of mine suckered me a bit into higher end audio. I've still got some sense...

Hello everyone, I've always used cheap $10-20 Plantronics headets for gaming, but my latest one has broken again and I'm tired of them constantly failing at some point (previous couple failed somewhere along the cable, or the hardware itself died, and this one physically failed - the right...

Hello everyone, I'll first get this out of the way: I'm currently using the onboard Realtek ALC889A from my motherboard for sound. I also have an SB Audigy 1 (MP3+ version) that I don't really use. Anyway, I'm thinking about upgrading my soundcard for a variety of reasons, not the least of...

Hello, Forgive my apparent noobishness, but I am wondering about this, and I don't believe this has been discussed before. Either that or I'm absolutely terrible at picking search keywords. Anyway, I recently decided to upgrade from my Sennheiser MX500's to the Yuin OK2's since they were...

Hello everyone, I am about ready to purchase a new 6.5G iPod (120GB version) to replace my ailing 3G iPod. For the occasion, I am also replacing my earbuds. Thanks to suggestions here, I am currently listening to the Yuin PK2's, OK3's and OK2's in an attempt to figure out which suits me best...

Hello everyone, I'm new here, but I've been recommended to try this place from a friend, and I've spent the past couple days looking up information from these forums. It's about time I replaced my trusty 3rd gen iPod (with dock connector! gasp!) since it's been about 5 years and the...
