I'd like the input from you fellow Head-Fiers.

I guess I pretty much learned what treble is. All the triple flanges did was give me a full and clear sound in each ear which seemed to open up the treble. Really it didn't. The foam tips just weren't for my ear canals. I have my SE530's hooked up to my laptop right now. I have found the perfect...

Can you guys please recommend me some of the top amplifiers under $3,000? Thanks...

Did you guys love the sound signature of your favorite earphones/headphones at first? I remember when I first unboxed the Shure SE530's after getting them from the FedEX delivery guy. I put them in my ear and hit play and......."Wow......I just got ripped off for $300". 3 weeks later I grew to...

The thread title is the question.... I'm going to feed it digital from my laptop via USB. My headphone amplifier will be a RSA B52 feeding a pair of Sennheiser HD800's.

What is it? Any recommendations. It's going to be feed by a dedicated DAC. I want it to be able to fully drive any headphone with authority including the HD800's. I want an uncolored sound. Pure details, super expansive sound stage. Perfect extension on both ends of the frequency response. I...

I will be purchasing a Benchmark DAC1 HDR dedicated DAC for $2,000. The DAC1 HDR has a built in headphone amp, I'm not entirely sure how well it will perform with a pair of Sennheiser HD800's. I simply just want a home rig where the only flaws that may develop are from the headphones alone not...

Hey guys I'm pretty much set on what components that will be used in my future home rig.... iPod Classic 120gb or 160gb Wadia iTranspot Benchmark DAC1HDR with a built in headphone amp Sennheiser HD800 I was just wondering if guys are familiar with this dedicated DAC? How is the AMP section...

Ok. I am extremely puzzled right now. People point out the flaw of the Shure SE530's being the treble. I agree with them completely up to an extent. The treble detail is all there but at very low volume. The low volume makes it hard to hear the treble detail. I know I have suggested my mod over...

This will be my birthday purchases: HifiMan Portable audio player - $700 Lisa 3 Semi-portable Amplifier - $600 Ultra high end custom IEM - $1,000+ Total: $2,300+ I'm going to use the HiFiman's built in high end DAC and feed it via line out straight to the Lisa III which then feeds...

Which custom IEM is superior? I seriously can't make up my mind between the two. This September one of them will be in my possession though. Can you guys who own these IEM's tell me the differences between them and what one does better over the other.....Thanks....

OK, this is to everyone I have offended or pissed off. I was a complete ass and a ****** bag. I apologize. I began to realize, why turn on a bunch of people who helped me find such a wonderful earphone? (Shure SE530's). You guys opened up a world of high end audio, just want to say thanks to the...

PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD ON TOPIC. I WANT THIS HELPFUL INFORMATION TO BE HEARD BY MANY SHURE SE530 NEWCOMERS WHO MAY FIND THE TREBLE TO BE LACKING. After now have tried every tip and acknowledged their weaknesses and strengths I will share with you guys my collected information... Silicone...

What is the diameter of the diaphragms inside of balanced armature typically used in earphones. Also, multiple driver earphones use balanced armatures that are smaller than the full range drivers in single driver earphones?

Well if anyone is interested. Here are the innards of the Shure SE530... The pictures are not mines...

Ok....This may be fun. Try to be yourself before you got into high quality audio. Look at your most expensive piece of audio gear. How much do you think they cost from looks alone.... Shure SE530's - $100.00

TIGHT BASS is sometimes misunderstood... If your bass is crossed over at a low crossover point the bass from the woofer cannot by itself be TIGHT... The PERCEPTION OF TIGHTNESS is often governed by how well the other speakers in the car match the levels of the woofers .... Think about...

In most earphone manufacturers or headphone manufacturers or anywhere else that create products that have advancements over the other. Lets take Shure for example.... With Shure in the earphone department you have....SE110 SE115 SE210 SE310 SE420 SE530 Did Shure purposely limit the previous...

What portable headphones qualify for this position? SQ is the first priority, price is the last.

We all know the Shure SE530's are very efficient earphones and any DAP can adequately drive them. I just about noticed how badly the FiiO E5 muddied the sound from my Zune 120gb. It may just be how crystal clear and balanced the sound from the newer Zune's are. The FiiO E5 made the bass a bit...

Ok, I've came to this conclusion. I am loving the sound of Shure SE530's and can't imagine any IEM improving anywhere at a great price. The BASS is perfect, the MIDS is unexplainable and the HIGHS with the triple flanges modified are exactly perfect. I was going to buy a pair of Westone ES3X's...

What title says.

Hey guys. I am starting to get a bit annoyed since I cannot make up my mind for which headphone I want to purchase. I thought I had made up my mind with the Sennheiser HD800 and the Lisa III. When it comes to think of it. I want a headphone to use outside and as well as inside with one very fine...

The Grado PS1000's and Sennheiser HD800's will be coming out soon and they have impressions on them already. What do you guys think is the best headphone? Sennheiser HD800 Grado PS1000 Ultrasone Edition 9 Other

Hey, I know the Lisa III is by far the best sounding amp but the thing is a huge brick and doesn't last very long with battery life. I want a amp that can effectively drive my future Sennheiser HD800's and remain quite compact and attach to the bottom of my Zune. Also the other reason I want a...
