    JH13 question - how much improvement does amp/custom cable give

    JH13 question - how much improvement does amp/custom cable give

    This is all very interesting, but unfortunately it may be pointless. If I hear a difference with a new cable and you do not hear a difference, can we both be “right”?? Or am I “wrong” to hear a difference with a new cable simply because I can’t measure a difference that I think would explain...

    One Man's Odyssey

    I am a long time lurker, but infrequent poster, but because you guys have impacted my wallet as well as my life, I would like to share my story. I have been an audiophile for many years and my current home system has Belles amps driving Vandersteen speakers and subs, with an Exemplar / Denon...

    What would YOU do Next??

    Thanks, Uncle Erik.....I had not considered swapping out the preamp on my main system. I am still looking for a good portable option for on airplanes (closed or IEM) as well as traveling with me to the office (could be open, closed, or IEM there. With all of this "thinking" I remembered my...

    What would YOU do Next??

    Bump..... Any ideas?? I have read that my P-51 Mustang delivers higher current that other RSA amps, but can it drive full sized cans? UE11's have had rave reviews.....what differences am I likely to hear between them and say K701's through the P-51 mustang? Which way would you go??

    What would YOU do Next??

    My current portable system is: 120G iPod Classic (moving to Apple Lossless files from a mixture of compression rates) -> iBasso LOD and CB01 Interconnect -> RSA P51 Mustang -> Triple.Fi 10 Pro (comply tips) or Etymotic 4p (with P-S cable) I am a LONG time audiophile with what I consider to...

    Best IEM for Airy and Open Soundstage?

    (1) I am still caught in the "high end audio" vortex.....how did you escape?? (2) I agree with other posters, you should at least give the UE Triple.Fi 10 Pro's a listen. I find them to have a pleasant soundstage and sonic signature. Shure 530's sounded good as well, but they were a bit...

    Westone 3, Shure Se530, or UE triple.fi 10 Pro

    Newbie question here (and not trying to hijack), but what impact will choice of amp have on these IEM's? I have TC10's and have a P-51 Mustang on order.....having read about its FANTASTIC mids I am hoping that it will perk up that area just a bit for the TF10's sound signature. Is an amp...
