Looks like Amazon.com has listed these to arrive this week (they aren't shown on Klipsch's web site yet), priced at about $80: Black: https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R6i-II-Headphone-Black/dp/B073WYKYKH/ White: https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R6i-II-Headphone-White/dp/B073WXV1L6/ I doubt they've...

I just got an email from V-Moda about the new Vibrato this morning.   Is anybody going to be trying these out?   I've been looking for better headphones than the stock buds from my 3G iPod Shuffle, with a remote to control the device. The other option that I am considering is the Klipsch...

Has anybody heard these cables? Todd R hasn't updated his impressions since he first got them...

I just saw a new email ad from Todd the Vinyl Junkie - with a list of Luxman products, including the P-1 Headphone Amplifier. Has anybody heard one of these yet?

I finally posted a review of my Sony D-EJ2000 to Audioreview, just in time for complete irrelevance: Sony D-EJ2000 Reviews Cheers!

Hey gang, I just happened to check the Oppo website a minute ago - they've finally added the 983! It looks pretty good - I guess I'd be picking one of these up if I had a decent TV - or a TV at all. We'll see how long it takes for the modders to get working on this one... HiWire

Hey guys, I'm looking for a general microphone for voice (singing) and acoustic instruments (e.g. violin, piano, acoustic guitar)... any ideas. A lot of the cool mics I'm seeing seem to be several thousand dollars - are there good mics for less? I'll most likely be plugging the mic into PC...

Has anybody heard this player? Their website is a bit messy and old-school, but it sounds like an interesting Redbook source, for the low, low price of $10,950 Can you Play that from Memory? I found out about it from doing a bit of research on Melos Audio - these are the same guys, I think...

Hey guys, Sorry to add to the noise ratio, but I've got a friend who is looking for an IEM for his iPod (5th Gen?). He says up to about $100 is fine. I've been here for a while, but I have no experience with IEMs. So far, I've put a short list together: Etymotic ER-6 - $139 (bit of a...

I finally got my amp back and running, so I'm going to start posting my impressions of my new CD player. I still have my Panasonic SL-S160 PCDP as a reference, but I'll probably stop making comparisons after a while. Before I mention anything else though, I noticed the output power is much...

Five Players Enter, One Player Leaves This is an epilogue, of sorts, and in another way, it’s the beginning for me. As some of you may have noticed, I bought an Arcam FMJ CD36 last week. This is the tale of what went before… I listened to the $50,000 dCS Paganini system three weeks ago and...

So what are those handle-looking things on the face-plates of amps and other rack-type equipment called? They are prominent on Dartzeel and Audio Research amps, for example. I know that there is a technical usage and word for them, but it escapes me at the moment.

So I've started this thread from a sidetrack in the headphone forum. Please post why the RX-7 is the most awesome Japanese car below: . . . I'll start. It is lightweight, has a powerful, innovative, high-revving and unique twin-turbo (3rd generation) rotary engine, handles incredibly...

I saw a pair sitting in the stereo store, and am strangely tempted by them - even though I probably shouldn't be. These headphones have always been a bit controversial, but I am intrigued by their unique sound signature and comfy design. Perhaps they will be put on sale for Boxing Day...

After over 12 years of service, my "home" source, a portable Panasonic SL-S160 player, might be finished. Yesterday afternoon, I heard a popping sound (like static) every few minutes about a half hour into listening to some Jane Monheit - suddenly, the volume dropped out entirely. I turned the...

I went to my local audio shop and had an audition of the dCS Paganini player (transport, DAC, and clock), which is about $50,000. It was hooked up to Audio Research HD220 amps and Sonus faber Elipsa speakers. I had a nice, extended listening session by myself in a properly set up room in a comfy...

So they finally dropped the price on an Arcam FMJ CD36 in Canada. But... 1) Will there be a replacement soon for the CD36? 2) I'm still waiting for reviews of the upcoming Oppo DV-983 - it's supposed to have the same audio output section as the DV-980H. 3) Can a TweakAudio modded Oppo...

I read in Stereophile recently that National Semiconductor has produced a series of extremely low-noise, low-distortion ICs. They have constructed a full-scale audiophile listening room for testing their new products, and it looks like a number of manufacturers will be using their chips in new...

Has anybody heard this player? I might go hunting for it this weekend. Reviews appear to be scarce on the ground.

http://www.geardigest.com/2007/04/06..._down_to_size/ Looks like somebody is finally calling Bose out for their lack of sound quality.

Hi-Fi+ gave this player a very positive review in the current issue. Any Head-Fier impressions yet?

Hey gang, Does anybody have any recommendations for an S-Video cable brand for the PS2? I'm currently running my signal through a composite cable to my ATI TV Wonder 650 in my computer, but the image is really fuzzy in fullscreen. I'd love to experiment with the regular higher-end S-Videos...

Has anybody heard one of these yet? Marantz's marketing copy cleverly hints at trickle-down technology from the Reference lineage... that would be a truly awesome bargain, for a $999 USD player versus the $3499 USD Reference player. I have heard the Reference Series SA15-S1 in a less than ideal...

Hey gang, This is kind of a general issue, but I think I have figured part of it out. There are many possible causes for channel imbalance (pots, circuit design, etc.), but the culprits I'm discussing today are the mini and 1/4-inch jack. Poorly implemented designs or cheap parts here might...

Take a look at the Sony website - there are no more high-end portable CD players, or even MiniDisc players (just a recorder) listed any more. I guess their "digital amp" revolution was short-lived - it will have to continue in MP3-player form. Start combing those eBay listings for Sony goodness...
